Can they please sweep the parking lots like every other property!!!! Leaves and dirt does not dissipate they need to be swept! Why haven't the trash company picked up the trash...does the property manager and her assistant know that is a health hazard!

Yes this is so true. When I complained they told me that we don't have individual meters and they tagged late fees on my rent because I didn't pay me gas bill with my rent. When the property manager printed out my rent ledger my rent went up from $1088 to over $1300 dollars because they added it to my rent charges. Ive never heard of that!!! I wonder if this is legal, anybody knows?

Amen! Not sure if anyone really knows that it is illegal to change the terms of an original lease unless both landlord and tenant both agree! So those who didn't have to pay gas, legally still don't! Also, i was told by the former manager that they are trying to turn these units in condominiums soon. They are trying to outprice the residents in order to get us out. It's not a game... how does one month of gas end up being almost 200.00 when you are barely home/don't cook and it's not winter... something is amiss at this complex! Trying to tell you.

A REAL professional manager know that you can not change a contractual agreement once it is signed.

Can an apartment complex be reported to the BBB for changing rental agreements like that? Has anyone TRIED???

Hello all! I WAS a propestive tenant until I reviewed your ratings/statements...if you are facing issues regarding your lease (alterations, breaches and the like) PG County does have a landlord/tenant complaint division that you can submit your issues and depending on the nature of the complaints you can even report them anonymously. I appreciate your reviews, as this is very helpful information; if you band together and list all of your complaints and have as many tenants sign a petition and submit it to the Landlord/Tenant division, rental office and the corporate office of the complex...I'm sure they will take you serious and take immediate action to rectify the matters. A petition will not be just one person that they'd have to contend with, but a majority of the tenants. Just remember that in order for the petition to "ring the alarms" you will need at least 90% of tenants participation, but you get 100% that's even better...Go Team! Good Luck to you all!

I would like to keep this in friendly, adult terms, but the "managers" of this complex are not friendly or adults. They repeatedly lie to tenants. In street terms this is called the "okie doke" meaning if you do not challenge or investigate what you are told, shame on you for saying "okie doke" to whatever they told you. Presently this complex has taken over 45 days to return a security deposit to me. Shame on them that I did not believe thier statement that they have 60 days to comply. A securty deposit not returned within 45 days is as noted below: (e) Return of deposit to tenant; interest- the landlord must, within 45 days after the end of tenancy, return to tenant the security deposit minus any amount which he may rightfully withhold. Simple interest of 4% per year must be paid on security deposits of $50 or more and must accrue at 6 month intervals from the day the security deposit was given. Interest is not compounded. If the landlord, without good reason, fails to return any part of the security deposit within 45 days after the end of the tenancy, he is liable to the tenant for up to three times the withheld amount of the security deposit plus reasonable attorney's fees. I hope this helps others in the future
