I lived in this place for seven years, and paid $800 monthly for rent. This 3 1/2 was very spacious and the rooms had lots of natural light. The outside was well-maintained, with a water fountain, trees and flowers making it a great place to live. Additionally, everything you needed was within walking distance. There were downsides though; there were many students who got wild on weekends, my car was vandalized three times on the street (probably them) and there were no washing machine outlets in my building. The kitchen and bathroom both needed work but administration ignored me every time I mentioned it. I eventually realized they wanted me out so they could renovate and increase the rent prices - which is what happened - from $800 to $1395+ now! It's crazy how landlords don't care about tenants or property maintenance – all they want is money.

This has been the most disrespectful experience I've had with renting in my two years. They have hidden fees for practically everything, including a required $50 to install an air conditioner even if it doesn't hang out of the window (we were threatened with lease termination if we didn't use them). We had to pay for smoke detector batteries and lightbulbs, as well as any minor service. Further, they refused to provide an itemized list of fees for a background check for a lease transfer and charged us a flat $250 fee for two people—no option to pay only for one person's check. Even something small like patching plaster was $50! Then, after the first year they raised our rent by $100/mo—an extra 8%! The next year they wanted 5% more on top of that. When we tried fighting this via Tribunal du Logement, we were hit with expenses to cover construction costs that never seemed to end. The administrative office is unresponsive and fixing simple things takes forever: plaster took a month; leaky ceilings took three months; replacement dishwasher was left uninstalled in our living room for weeks! Additionally, they haven't taken action against tenants who disturb others (e.g., blasting music so loud it shakes the floor); inst This has been the most disrespectful experience I've had with renting in my two years.

Inside the building is like an echo chamber since every door slams shut hard without provocation; you get woken up every night because all doors are half-inch more ... hide ...
