    I'm already a tenant and willing to extend for one more year. It is impossible to reach to TLC management to discuss an issue in the leasing. I sent them messages, e-mails, voice records but did get any reply. They want tenants to pay a fee about the internet even if they have already a contract from internet provider. Tenants should be free to use internet from TLC management. If they do not want internet, this extra fee for the internet should be removed from the lease. ( What ...

    I have lived in the same building for 11 years, and recently had to switch units. The staff were very flexible, and I was able to move two units down! I had three days to move in but a nice neighbor at the time helped me move the heavy stuff in. I couldn't picture anything else more fitting for me. I can't afford a mansion!
