This place REALLY s**ks, when we moved in we were told that if for some reason we needed to break the lease it would cost an additional $250, we were fine with that, well my financial situation changed and we have to move,now they are trying to charge us $1700 to break the lease AND another $1300 for something called a "concession fee", when we moved in we only had to pay $500 for the first month and $800 the second month, seems like a good deal right ' WRONG. It seems that if you break the lease early they charge you for the lower rent they gave you in the beginning, and if you are late on your rent by 2 weeks they waste no time serving you papers for court, the Dolben Company which in the management for the place are nothing but money hungry leeches, oh I almost forgot the grounds are dirty and they don't plow for s**t, i could go on but what is the point, STAY AWAY AT ALL COST, TELL EVERYONE THAT THE PLACE IS A JOKE !
