Belmont House

I've lived at the Belmont House for over five years. I've enjoyed calling it home but things have changed. A new company has taken over the building with hopes of modernizing the building and turning it into a "cool" place to call home. The whole point of my review is my rent is going up for no logical reason and after living in the building for over five years and paying over 100,000 in rent, the management has no tact or respect for the residents who spend a significant amount of cash to live here. I've been told all the apartments are getting upgraded with wood flooring, new kitchens, new bathrooms, etc. That sounds lovely. My aparment has no upgrades and as far as I know there are no set plans to start any. I'm not going to pay more in rent to live through a construction site. I don't feel like it's my responsibility to pay more in rent to activate the start date for these improvements. I refuse to pay more in rent before these upgrades are installed and useable. Until that happends they are worth nothing...and it is unacceptable to expect renters to open their wallets to help cover the managements home improvement kick durning one of the worst possible economic times ever. Any competant managment company would shelve any construction plans and focus on keeping the rents as low as possible in order to compete with neighboring buildings.I understand rent increases but this building is already incredibly high for what it is. I have a very sour tast in my mouth because I know if I move, more than likly the leasing office will rent my apartment for quite possibly less than what I pay now as an incentive rate. This is incredibly discouraging considering length of time I've lived in the building. This is a game and I'm not playing.
