Poorly Managed
Current tenant who will be leaving after four years here due to poor management. When we received our lease renewal this year, rent was increased by 8%. We attempted to meet halfway and asked for just a 4% adjustment to stay, but management wasn’t willing to negotiate at all.
We could have justified some level of increase if the building were being properly maintained, but unfortunately that’s not the case. The elevators are a constant issue, often two of the three are down in a building with... over 300 units. Try getting home at 5pm when everyone is coming back from work; it’s incredibly frustrating. Common area maintenance requests go unresolved, and basic upkeep just isn’t happening with dying trees and shrubs on the amenity level.
The building is all glass, yet the windows haven’t been washed in two years. Several of ours have broken seals and are permanently clouded with condensation, and they still haven’t been replaced after request.
On top of rising rent, there are significant additional costs: $175/month for parking, $90 mandatory cable, and around $200 for utilities. It adds up quickly to another $500 on top of rent.
The surrounding area has also struggled, there aren’t many walkable bars or restaurants, and it hasn’t bounced back since COVID. There was a cafe in the building but since closed I’m guessing due to rent increase as well. It’s disappointing to see rents continue to climb when the neighborhood and building conditions don’t reflect a “prime” location and “luxury” experience. Downtown workforces still haven’t returned yet they charge rent like it’s prior to 2020.
We genuinely would have liked to stay, but management wasn’t willing to work with us or reinvest in the property, it’s hard to justify renewing. If you’re looking for stable housing, you may be better off finding a place that values tenant retention and takes pride in maintaining their building and community.
