EXPENSIVE LIVING from year to year
May 10, 2024 - Reseña de Apartments.com
I've lived here about 17 months now and while I love my apartment and the communities location to plenty of green space (especially for walking my dog), it has become expensive to live here now.
My renewal letter came and not only was I given only 10 days to decide or the offer would expire and increase BUT the property still retained their legal 60 day notice to vacate, I saw my rent go up 10.5%. Add on that the parking space I first got as FREE I am now being charged $125/mo, but they have ...
tacked on a mandatory $89 technology fee. (Won't get into how properties now charge you for trash pick up per month which I alway think should just be a part of the rent).
Granted, I was given a $1500 concession because I argued it was cheaper not to resign for my current apt and just apply for another apt in the community because it was cheaper... odd how a LOYAL tenant is penalized to stay by higher rates but a new tenant not only gets LOWER monthly rents but other incentives, like FREE month. So, basically the concession pays for my parking and my rent still went up 10.5%.
Now the TECHNOLOGY FEE of $89 is for 1G/1000Mpbs of internet via Xfinity. You can't get a lower package (I pay $55 for AT&T because its just me for 500Mpbs). THE KICKER is that if I went to Xfinity directly (I can't) that same 1000Mpbs plan is $65/month PLUS you get PEACOCK PREMIUM free. For the property it equals out to almost $120,000 of pure profit AND I still have to deal with Xfinity if there is an issue with my internet!
In a nutshell, great apartment. Great location. Awesome neighbors. Cool Management. BUT if you think its a deal, wait til you renew. Its sad, because they've done nothing to the property since I moved here, havent changed anything in my apartment other than filters YET a 10% increase. Doubt management or staff saw even that much in an increase in their pay.
