I think that is important for any aspiring incumbent be aware of these key issues:
1) This management company will charge you THREE months of rent AND the security deposit if you opt out of a lease unless you have a co-signer immediately... This is NOT WRITTEN IN THE LEASE, but it was enforced upon me before I left.
And if you don't have a co-signer, don't expect them to help, even though it is written in the lease that they are supposed to.
2) Controlling the HEAT in the winter time is an EXHAUSTING issue; its either 100 hundred degrees or 50 due to the old style heaters. These heaters you cannot turn off completely and it becomes an arduous task to fool around with everyday, as the only way to cool the room down is to open the windows.
3) Very small rooms: My studio was about the size of an inmates prison cell.
4) They have the slowest elevators in the City, guaranteed. CREEP mode. And don't expect to take the stairs; they wind around so quickly and their's no paint on the walls... Very ugly looking.
5) The "new" fitness area in the basement is a HAZARD zone. There are pipes running through the room at head level that you have to duck around or injure yourself. Its also very small and clostraphobic.
6) there is no parking in the immediate area unless you want to pay for a garage that ranges from 195 dollars and up. aLKeoXpj3s4OSgrp1trb

Didn't you tour the apartment and workout room before you signed the lease? You knew you were signing up for a tiny apartment. The steam heat is an issue in any old building (personally, I wanted to have an island-themed party in the middle of winter -- ha ha!) As for parking, it totally sucks in Lakeview. If you had taken a minute to look around the neighborhood, you'd know that. Some people will never be happy I guess!
