I would not rent here again. I moved here under temporary assignment orders 2018. While filling out the application, I showed the staff my orders and explained that I needed a place from Jan 2018 to May 8th, 2018. The office staff said that this was no problem; I could sign a 12mo lease and just show orders 30 days out to break the lease without any penalty. Fairly standard.
Fast forward to early March. I went into the office and informed them that I would be out on May 8th The office clerk
...said that I needed to come back with physical orders to start the process. Getting a copy of the orders was not nearly fast enough; on March 31 I received the orders. I went in the first business day (April 2) with orders. (37 day notice) The staff immediately said that I would have to pay for all of May since I was breaking a lease. I was taken aback. I had spoken with the manager and staff about my move in January. The Harpers Square Manager (Connie Simms) was very rude and said: "you should have read the lease better". They should not have verbally said it was 30 days notice.
I tried to speak to corporate (Lawson Realty) to explain the situation and show how I had provided more than 30-day notice and a verbal notice of 60 days. Tami Simonds, the regional manager, was nice but said that it was illegal for them to charge anything less than 60 days. Illegal? But the office staff said 30 days? "A regrettable mistake". A mistake that makes Harpers Square $1000 despite the fact that they have technically had a 120-day notice (since before I moved in). Additionally, Tami pointed out that Harpers Square should not have rented to me in the first place since I did not intend on completing my 12mo lease and their company could legally pursue me on the matter. This whole practice is just plain dishonest.
Finally the construction: Fair. During a 4 month stay I had to submit 5 work orders: (heater and garbage disposal didn't work on move-in, bath fixtures stopped working, a second repair ticket for the bathtub since the maintenance man broke the fixture and it leaked through the wall into the downstairs kitchen, two doors fell off their hinges since they were attached with drywall screws, and the toilet runs continuously.) All doors stick. Walls are paper thin. The "gym" is a joke. Playgrounds are nice except the grafiti. Blinds, carpet, and grounds were in good condition and a fresh coat of paint.
Overall: might be worth it if the company was honest.
