My kids and I have been living here at The Benton's since 2012. It was called Chapel Park then, but when they got sued, the changed the name to the benton. I am a government employee and have been effected by the government shutdown that's happening right as I speak. My employer gave us a letter to give to our landlords and creditors explaining that we are not getting paid. I took it to the rent office and gave it to nice lady there and let her know that I will be late on my rent because I don't
...know when I will get paid again, due to the shutdown. She told me that she will give it to the manager. A week or so later, the manager called me and said he need to know when I was gonna pay my rent, because its past due. I said I don't know because I'm not getting paid because of the shutdown and didn't you get the letter explaining that? He said yeah, but there's nothing we can do about that. But he will call the contact the corporate office and let them know but he's has a gut feeling they're not gonna do anything about it. He calls back and say yeah I spoke with the corporate and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this situation because of our policy. It's funny because they have specials all the time where people move in and get half off on their first month rent and then throughout the year, they sometimes have drawings where if your name get pulled you may win half off on your next months rent. But here I am with kids, only 19 days late on my rent, an almost 7 year tenant who's job is all over the news showing that we are not getting paid, my employer even called and spoke with the manager hoping they will help me and all I get is "there is nothing we can do." A few days after my employer spoke with benton manager, I get home from work (working with no pay) and there is an eviction notice on my door. I say this to say. These people do not care or help their tenants in anyway all they want is their money. They want to kick me and my kids out so they can renovate my apartment and increase the rent so they can get more money from the new tenant that moves in. I have no money to move or stay. They don't care. DO NOT move here! If you do, God forbid you have a unexpected life crisis that's out of your control, they will kick you out. Oh and I almost forgot. If you are late on your rent, they charge a $100 late fee depending on your rent rate plus $10 per day for everyday that you are late.
