Keep Looking - Don't Stop Here!

I was convinced to live at Post Hyde Park because of its location and amenities. It was an experience that I will never forget. The location was great, but the product was the worst. The appliances and cabinetry are poor quality - place a cup on the counter and you will have a permanent mark. The walls are paper thin - for this rent you would expect better. When it came time to renew my lease they increased it almost 40% without any explanation other than - we can do whatever we want too. When I tried to get an explanation from them they told me that I could move to the unit upstairs for the same as my existing rent. The apartment upstairs was slightly bigger than my existing apartment, but I would have to pay $1700 to stay where I was while upstairs I could pay $1200. The maintenance people were great if you had a needed repair, but you can find a better quality apartment anywhere. The area can get a bit loud with all of the restaurants and bars, but you need to be careful in the parking lot. Areas are not well lit and people drive like lunatics through the "Gated" area. Accidents happened because people weren't paying attention while driving through the community. Speed signs are ignored and the speed bumps are only toys! Plus the leasing office doesn't care if something happens in the parking lot!<br><br>When it comes time to move out they claim they don't have the time to walk through your apartment with you and then they will rip you off in fees and repairs that you won't have the ability to fight. Plus if you don't pay when they tell you too they threaten claims towards your personal credit!<br><br>I have been renting for years and have moved around a lot with work, but Post is the worst by far. They don't care about returning renters and the will charge whatever rates they want too. You can find a much better place, better quality, and get more respect from other locations. Keep looking - don't stop here!<br>
