Rental rates are going up again.

And yes, tenants still have to pay for water, sewer, garbage, and all other utils.

Also, potential renters be warned: Archstone Hacienda is extremely uptight and only provides a 3 day window to pay rent from the first of the month, rather than to the 5th like most other apartment complexes. And the same can be said about the utilities - most other complexes cover these. Archstone Hacienda only gives its tenants until the 3rd of the month @ 10AM to pay rent online or in person. However, their offices don't even open until 10AM. "Ummmm paradox, is that you'" And if you don't get it in they slap your ass with a $50 fee. Not to mention that they close at 6PM but are usually locked up by 5:45PM...very inconvenient if work a 9-5 like about 98% of the rest of the world.

This place is outrageous! Their prices have done nothing but go up, up, up!

I have a BMR 1-bedroom apartment and even my rent is going up. The ridiculous thing is that I could relocate to another Archstone or within Archstone Hacienda and my rental rate stays the same, but if I remain in the same apt. the rate goes up...' WTF sense does that make' Think about it: they will have to clean, paint, etc. two apartments as opposed to one not to mention put the tenant through the hell of relocating and all things/costs associated with moving. Trust me I have moved about 8 or 9 times since I graduated from high school in 2000.

Archstone is completely ass-backwards.

I love the apartment, but it is a shame that Archstone is such a f**king blood-sucking leech on their tenant's respective pocketbooks.

I also live in a BMR 1 bedroom and have lived here for 4 yrs. My rent went up this year but according to management it was the government that raised it NOT them. My rent has gone up considerably over the last 4 yrs. I was told most of the management staff had been "let go". So it's all new people. I have a very nice apartment and have learned to live with the stuff that won't change, like Taxi's very where that sit for weeks and park in reserved and handicapped parking, stinky food smells, slamming doors, kids riding push scooters in the breezeways, water trash sewer constantly going up. It's not right that ONE person pays the same for trash as a house full of people. I take pride in my apartment and try to block out the rude and inconsiderate people that live around me.
