Would not recommed this property to anyone. For the first two years we lived here the property was great and then there was a change in ownership. Since that change has happened, it has been a revolving door of staff in the management office. There was a point in time when within a matter of weeks, whenever we went to the management office, all the staff was brand new. This revolving door went on for over a year and is still going, with the latest casualty being the Regional Manager for
...Baron Properties.
Fast forward to two weeks ago, when we get a notice from the leasing office stating that they are not renewing our lease due to renovations (of which we found out thorugh the NextDoor app). They did give us the option to stay month to month and then move to a renovated unit for an extra $300 - $400 per month. But, to this day the leasing office has not been able to fully articulate what the upgrades are. No thanks.
Yesterday, shortly before we were going to leave town for close to a week, we received a notice that we are supposed to empty a couple of our closets so that they can put electrical and plumbing in them. This was Thursday, for something happening the following Monday-Friday. We were also told that if we do not empty,the closets, they would fine us.
Finally, this notice also let us know that everyday between 8am - 5pm they will be unlocking the door to our home so that random construction workers can come in and out all day for the project. This is Monday through Friday, with 2 business days notice. Since this construction started, the security doors into our building have been propped open by construction workers. Now, our front doors will be as well. I wish I was making this up.
I don't feel safe for myself or my belongings here with this happening. My husband works from home too, so now he has no place to work from when we return home to a construction crew, doing whatever they are doing in our home. We've also had to board our indoor cat (with almost no notice) now for the week, as we are not comfortable leaving her in the unit with people we don't know going in and out while we are travelling.
We emailed the manager who had no regard for our situation. All they care about is how fast they can renovate this place and have zero regard for the tenants that are living here. Renters beware; Baron Properties, Belmont Buckingham.
