Too Many Surprises at Lease Signing Time
The local caretaker/manager of the property told me that the apartment I wanted to rent is 1394sf. It turned out to be 1354sf.\r\rHe told me I'd get a ""full-size"" washer/dryer. The apartment had the smaller, dorm size W/D.\r\rHe raved about the ""valet trash pickup"" but failed to tell me that it would add $10 a month to my lease amount. \r\rHe told me I could have pets but failed to mention the pet rent.\r\rHe never told me that I have to pay for utilities like water. At lease time I found out that not only do I have to pay for water but I have to pay a $3 monthly ""sub-metering"" fee as well. \r\rI hate it when people try to con me into signing an agreement with them, adding all kinds of surprises at lease signing time. So my rent turned out to be $25 more than I was actually quoted (just like the other reviewer said here), not including the additional submetering fee. No one likes being ripped off.\r\rOh, and when it snows/ices over here, the caretaker will tell you that the parking lot has been cleared; that never happens. They didn't lift a single shovel, leaving the sidewalks, stairs, and roadways in treacherous conditions. Two different cars wrecked trying to get down the hill.\r\rOne thing you should know: These places are very highly priced for the area. They underwent a strictly cosmetic renovation, so they do look very nice. But you need to understand that the traffic getting here after work is worse than horrible. You can't use Lenox or Sidney Marcus without sitting in a LONG line of crawling cars for the last 1.5 miles home.
