Beautiful building, but not worth the price!

I think that after seeing the six story turreted brick building covered in ivy most people would agree that the Biltmore is one of the most beautiful buildings in Capital Hill -- I certainly think so. But after living there for two years I would very strongly caution anyone who is thinking of moving into the building, it's not a wise choice unless you don't mind spending continually increasing (obscene) amounts of money without any tangible/visible benefits such as a clean, well maintained building and grounds. Other reviews on this site have mentioned the rent increases brought against tenants by RP Managment; this is the number one reason I am moving out. In the last year my rent has gone up by $100.00 dollars every 90 days since my 6 month lease ran out. I went from paying 700.00 a month for a small studio which is reasonable to 900.00 (not including the $30 utility fee which is not included in your rent price). Having looked at many studio apartments over the last few months in Capital Hill (many with similar old world charm and comparable square footage) as I prepared to move I can tell you that this price is at the very highest end of the high --- and it is still increasing (I just received yet another rent increase of $50 dollars a few weeks ago). If you must move in sign the longest lease you can and push to sign another when it runs out, but be prepared for a fight as a new lease will, of course, limit RP Managments ability to raise your rent. Please spare yourself the heart break of having to leave your home because there is absolutely no reasonable sense of security or stability financially --- The Biltmore is a beautiful building, but so not worth it!
