Be careful when dealing with the managment at this complex. They are as shady as they come. The 'manager' will tell you whatever you want to hear when you are face-to-face, but over the phone he will call you a liar or otherwise say things he wouldn't dare say face to face. My two son's shared an apartment here, and when they decided to move out, they told the management well in advance of their intentions. The management made no attempt to help them by remindning them that the notice should be in writing. So when they eventually moved. The 'managment' sent me a bill for over $600 for leaving without giving 30 day written notice. This is a total scam. So, beware. DO not take anything they tell you as forthright and honest. They only want your hard earned money and want to give you the minimum for it. If you have to deal with Jennifer Ranson, make sure to wear some boots, she is full of crap.

I accidentally did the same thing at my previous apartment complex. What happened to your sons is a pretty common thing... which is why it is specifically written in the lease, which is a legal binding contract. Could they have made an exception? Maybe. When I realized my mistake, I calmly discussed it with the management of my previous apartment, and they were able to pro-rate me a difference, but I still had to pay some. All in all this sounds more like a life lesson for your sons (whom I notice aren't the ones posting). Read what you sign, and take responsibility for your actions. I disagree that it's the managements responsibility to track tenants down and remind them of standard rules. If your sons didn't submit move out notice in writing, then there was no proof they were leaving, verbal agreements are not legal binding, the written 30 day notice is standard apartment procedure designed to protect both the tenant and the apartments. In business EVERYTHING has to be documented. And no, I'm not an employee, just a tenant who thinks this "review" is ridiculous.

Honestly 'Anonymous' Do you think anyone in their right mind who is 'happy' with the complex would be monitoring this site. Talk about ridiculous... I was born at night, but not last night...

I posted on this site several times, and of course, each one of my posts were removed because I stepped on some toes and told the truth. I lived at this complex from 2002-2005. When I moved in, the management team was G.R.E.A.T. That's when Mariko, Marty, and a couple of other chicks were running the place. The complex was well kept, neat, and they had frequent activities for tenants, such as barbecues, pool parties, halloween parties, etc. After they left, everything went downhill.

To the Bland family; First of all I do not work at Raintree, I do however work in this indrusty. I have read all of your reviews and I am very concerned for your family. It is obvious that there is nothing you can do about the situation of getting your $600.00 back, but I presume you or your sons will never make this mistake again. I know you will read this responce because it seems that you log on everyday to "yell" or "cuss" at anyone who does not believe the same as you. I just think it is time to let it go. You moved out around 8 months ago according to all your rants on this website. When you hold onto a grudge, your anger causes your body to behave as if it'd under constant stress. This increases your blood pressure, and lowers your immune system. You can vent on line and harras people your whole life about this situation, but outcome will remain the same. I am assuming with all of your rage, you have contacted a lawyer that said Raintree was right and there is nothing you can do. So please, for your children, and your childrens children, LET IT GO. I am only trying to help. Here is a website that you might find helpful: AngerManagementOnline.com It's time to grow up, own up, and set a good example for your children.

I agree with helpfuladvise, LET IT GO. This can't be good for your health or your sons, not to mention your spirtual being. Forgive so that in the end the Good Lord above will forgive you for your wrongs. Anyway it sounds to me that you are more upset about the whole situation because you had to pay your sons debt. If your sons are old enough to rent their own apartment they are old enough to pay their own debt's and be responsable to read their contract's that they sign. Written with love intended. I'm the mother of three sons and three step daughter's so trust me, I do know how easy it is to jump right in and try to defend and protect your children in any way shap or form. In the end it does come back to haunt you, grown children keep coming back home every time they made a bad choice and it makes it hard for them to grow up to be men and women. Please, take it from someone who knows, LET IT GO and cut the appron strings and let yours boys grow up and be men.

The management didn't "remind" you about YOUR responsibility. Sounds like you feel awfully entitled. I truly think that is a major part of our world's current situation: Everything is SOMEBODY ELSE'S responsibility. Pay the $600 that YOU owe and chalk it up to one of YOUR mistakes...
