The building is attractive, but this has been my worst management experience as a renter…read more
On September 5, I accepted a negotiated 12-month renewal at $4,350 per month in writing. Management later directed me to complete it through the resident portal, but no proposal was available when I accessed it.
On September 24, I received an email whose subject said the offer would "Expire in 3 Days," while the body said it had already expired on September 23. Management later claimed an earlier urgent email existed, but I searched my Inbox, Spam, Trash, Archive, and other folders and found no such message. The only matching email I located arrived after the claimed deadline.
Despite my written acceptance of $4,350, management posted $4,702 in base rent for October--$352 more than negotiated. Because my lease allows a 6% late charge and no grace period, I paid the disputed balance to protect myself from penalties.
Management then presented a renewal listing MONTHLY RENT as $12,890. Over 12 months, that would represent $154,680 in base rent--$102,480 more than the negotiated rate. The same document included the legal name of someone who has never lived in my apartment. Management asked whether that person was still living with me, even though the person had never lived there. This raised serious privacy, security, and recordkeeping concerns.
Management confirmed the price and name would be corrected, but did not address the $352 already collected. I made more than five documented attempts by email, phone, voicemail, follow-up, and a formal evidence packet. As of this review, I have not received a written decision or posting date for a refund or credit.
I retained the emails, screenshots, lease documents, payment records, and follow-up history supporting this account. Prospective renters should get everything in writing, screenshot every portal screen, and inspect every amount and name before signing.
