I signed a lease with a move-in special for reduced rent. A year later a new management company took over and rewrote my lease, negating my reduced rent plus increasing my rent moving forward. I was also told I had to sign a new commitment six months in agreeing to a rent increase at the end of my current year's lease. If I did not sign the commitment then the rent would go up at the end of the year but by even more than what they were offereing at six months. My apartment had new carpeting,
...tile floors in the bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room, but the windows, doors and bathrooms were terribly outdated, as were the window blinds and light fixtures. Maintenance is sketch at best. Work orders online or verbally are addressed hit and miss. Part of the month rent includes treatment for bugs, but last year they added an addendum stating if bed bugs were found there would be an additional charge for treatment. They charged me $450 for treatment for bed bugs that came from a neighbor's apartment and would not allow me to secure my own extermination company, but then used their own maintenance guy who said he only sprays around the baseboards and door frames because bed bugs are too lazy to walk across carpeting. Any online site will tell you they travel through the ducts and electrical outlets. I found them on my walls but he did not spray the walls. When I disputed the charges for extermination because after a month there were still live bugs on the walls (I had since moved out because my apartment was not habitable in its current state and I had to get rid of my beds and living room furniture which their exterminator told me were infested) I was sent to a collection agency. The office staff are very nice to deal with but the people they work for are not nice people at all. I have since moved to a much nicer apartment for less rent, but at a great expense to me due to the infestation of my apartment at Northlake and their inability to control the situation (including the neighbor who had them first and then moved to another apartment within the same complex - taking the bed bugs with her to another building - which explains why she did not notify the office that she had bed bugs as she knew they would penalize her like they did me).
