Jefferson Ridge

Recently moved in From: HonestGeorgeW Date posted: 4/7/2007 Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2007 2 responses   I'm a fairly new resident at Jefferson Ridge. I'm already finding problems with management. Here's what happened this month: I paid my rent 30 minutes late. Management gave me a notice to pay $871.13 extra or be evicted. I believe this is a complete rip-off. OK, I paid my rent at 8:45AM on April 3rd, on my way to work. It was due by the time the staff arrived on the 3rd, which was about 8:30AM. Maybe a $25 or even $50 late fee could be reasonable. But they are asking for $871.13 plus $10 more dollars each day and have waived my "move-in special", requiring me to pay an extra $70 per month. If I don't pay the $871.13 and submit to their terms they will file for eviction and according to the lease terms, could enter my apartment at any time and claim possesion of my things. All this over paying rent a few minutes late. This management company is trying to get money out of residents in any new creative yet legal ways possible. It almost seems like a scam. At the very least it is a poor way to treat residents. So go ahead and sign a lease here. Pay your rent one hour late, one time, and they will screw you over for mega $$$.
