After spending a year in which we were content with our 2 bdrm 1.5 bath apartment on the 6th floor my fiance, 6yr old son and I decided to sign a second 1 year lease with Taylor Place. Prior to this there were rumors of a large renovation being planned, while signing the new lease we specificaly inquired about these rumors and were assured they were false. Currently we are 3 months into the new lease and have just been informed that our entire floor will have our leases terminated in 120 days with a buy out of $750 if we can vacate in a 7 day window between APR 27 - MAY 4 otherwise no compensation is offered and if the apartment is vacated prior to APR 27 penalties would be levied against us. Taylor place also in formed us while we have till june to vacate they would begin construction May 4 and we would have to deal with the noise and other problems that coincide with an interior constuction project (Great enviroment for a 6yr old and again no compensation). After numerous attempts to contact the property manager I have still not received a reply from her regarding questions I submited 72 hours ago, I was contacted instead by an employee of UDR (owners of Taylor Place) who they brought up temporarily from Richmond to assist residents, I had to explain to her why relocating to other UDR properties in Woodbridge and southwest DC was not possible due to the fact that my son attends school in Arlington, the only response she had was that she was not familiar with the area. The only other complaint I have with this property was an incident where my car was broken into. My car was broken into in the Taylor Place parking lot (not to uncommen in this neighborhood), when speaking to the police officer who was investigating I was informed that they had been to the parking lot multiple times earlier in the week for the same reason, Taylor Place made no effort to warn residents that our parking lot was being targeted. After the theft I asked the desk manager why the night manager did not walk the parking lot at least once a night so they could notify us if our windows were smashed out, I was told they would not do this because some night staff were females and were scared to be outside at night.In conclusion, the apartments are not bad although the broadband signal is weak, had managment made any effort to help ease transition of residents they were evicting as opposed to making sure apartments were filled till the last possible day I would be a little more positive in my review. UDR properties value one extra weeks rent over the wellbeing of families with children. I stand by everything stated in this review and can be contacted at kris.muten@hotmail.com if any further information is needed.
