I moved into Deerwood a little over one month ago and I still don't have TV connections. I didn't know before signing the lease that the central antennae provided does not receive high definition programming and a two year contract is required if you wish to have a DVR. Even though there is FCC rulings regarding the rights of tenants to have a satellite installed, I am still attempting to get management approval - even after supplying the rulings two times.

Their latest offer is $500,000 liability on your Homeowners' policy plus $1,000.00 deposit. Considering the earlier review on lack of interest in returning any portion of deposits, this is not a reasonable demand.

Check it out first.

Yes, the Deerwood forces you to use their own, off-brand provider for all utilities. I almost leased at the Deerwood but their off-brand utility provider was so rude to me when I tried to set up utility service (They don't care how they treat you because they've "got you" -- you have no choice but to use them) that I stopped payment on my deposit checks and cancelled my move-in. Ha!

ACTUALLY! You can use your own providers for all utilities. I recently signed a lease and have had no problems whatsoever. We all get the sheet of paper that suggests local providers, but common sense says use your OWN providers!!!
