I would vote NO based upon the new open ended heat bill instituted by management
From: -Anonymous-Date posted: 5/19/2005
Years at this apartment: 2002 - 2005
The purchase of the property serval years ago by the Charles Smith company has been a dissapointment for this resident. The conceiger was eliminated, evening onsite security was eliminated, and there have been numerous major water pipe failures (erruptions)in the past year.
In addition, management in 2004 chose to institute an additional charge to cover heat expense. The unfortunate part of this new fee is that it is based upon square footage and not useage. Management has decided to take the total monthly heating bill for the entire 1100 units and common space and divide it amongst all the tenants after subtracting out the portion management has allocated to the common space. And the tenants are required to pay whatever the number is, be it $24 or $124. It has been 300% to 400% more than what management orginally projected the number to be during lease renewal. And most irritating the tenants have no way of knowing what the heat bill will be, and management has chosen not to cap the fee to the tenants.
Remember that heat was already factered into the rent before this new fee was instituted. Now the tenants pay twice......
