I lived in the complex for over 6 years.
The 1 bedroom apartment is small with limited closet space (Its funny that when I first moved in, I received literature that the apartment was 580 sq ft and now they are advertising differently...).
My rent has doubled since my first lease.
Frequent inspections are the norm and the management are unproffesional.
It felt like they were invading my privacy.
As someone mentioned they will even pick about one's housekeeping style.
I had a neighbor who received a letter from management since she had dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
Duhh...it was a small load from breakfast and she was waiting till the end of the day to start the cycle.
Parking can be a concern depending on which building you reside.
For the last few years I was there, parking was never close by which can be irritating.
Trash was a concern because their schedule for pick up didn't match my work schedule and they would leave notices about fines.
I left for work around 6 am so thats when I carried it out.
On my days off, trash pick up wasn't timely and sometimes it never happened.
I stayed because I loved the accessibity to the shopping areas.
Rent increases occur each year.
I finally had enough and refused to pay another increase for an apartment that was insufficient for my needs.
I was shocked at how rude the personnel was treating me when I notified them that I wouldn't renew the lease.
The first business day after move out was the only day they would allow for a walk through since I wanted to be present.
They charge for everything.
I had a drip pan with a scratch and was charged in addition to 2 stains on the carpet.
They went through everything with a fine comb though I've been in that apartment for 3 years.
What happens to normal wear and tear' (I moved into a renovated model then...the only difference is new cabinets, appliances, added a washer and dryer to the storage closet so bye-bye storage closet and knocked out half the wall in the kitchen to put a counter).
Renaissance Club need to appreciate the tenants that are keeping them employed.
Its truly sad how they treat their clients.
I've seen many tenants leave and now its my turn and I rejoice with my exit.
Good riddance.

Stupid rental staff, jeesh...
my girl lives here so I come here almost every other weekend. The most idiotic thing is that they tell tenants when to empty out trash for removal in the morning!!! That's right, no garbage bens for people to conveniently dump their trash to their liking but ONLY btween 5 - 7:30 Mon - Sat in the front of each complex. Duh, doesn't this attract mice and roachesto each complex more? When there's snow there's no telling when they'll be back around to pick up trash either. When it snows the only way you're getting around on this block is with a vehicle that has 4 wheel drive because the don't remove snow properly. My car skid down that steep incline on Waverly Way from Loch Raven Blvd on New years Eve 2009 because no salt or plowing was done on the street. This was hours after the snowfall might I add.
Also, they have this new policy of not letting you pay your rent through the drop box. ???, is this the only apartment complex that goes out of its way to make the simpliest thing hard to do? You can only pay rent Mon - Fri, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm, and if you work you have to go in late one day just to pay rent on time. You can pay on-line for an extra fee at your convenience of course.
I think the rental staff has no consideration for its tenants because lets face it, most of them didn't get pass a sixth grade education. Advice would be to not move to any of the apartments off of Loch Raven Blvd, Northern Pkwy or York Rd. since they all have major tenant/ management issues.

I was horrified to read in another review that they let themselves into your home and go through your things and take notes about whether or not they like your lifestyle or not. I would never rent there. I could see if someone was one of those hoarders you see on A&E and they had roaches coming in and out of their home, but the average renter who pays on time and lives a reasonably normal life should be left to enjoy their privacy!!
