If you would like dishonest, money-raping property managers, by all means move to Taylor Place when they complete construction. I have lived here for 4 years and the fact of the matter is there has been numerous turnovers in the property management office. The current manager------------------ is a waste of space and oxygen. She knows nothing about management and construction and has been pointless in this AWFUL transition.

I enjoyed living here the last 4 years, the location is great the apartments are large and while the building was old and had it's quirks the maintenance staff was responsive (The head of maintenance has recently left for a different property).

The rehab has been on the table since Spring of last year. They knew as late as last July that they intended to conduct an interior gut rehab. I have yet to receive a proper communication on letterhead about their plans and between the woman from Richmond and the latest 'project manager' on site the District Director hides behind what is an abuse of the residents. UDR had no qualms with re-signing tenants to year long leases as recent as 4 weeks prior to serving notice of construction. I received notice to vacate the second week of March and was informed that my 'buyout' incentive week was to be moved by April 25th. I was explicit in my questions about when construction was going to begin (I am on the 7th floor) and have a young child. I was told that construction would not begin before the 25th. Well needless to say, on Monday they started to gut the apartments around mine. It is unbearable, dangerous and infuriating. I am pondering an op ed piece to the Washington Post about this.

When the rehab is done my apartment will rent for $2,200 a month, I currently pay $1,430. Needless to say UDR banked on the fact that 1) tenants wouldn't know their rights, 2) Virginia is a landlord friendly state and 3) that by providing no real time to make an informed decision people would be forced out quickly. It's appalling. It is a company laced in dishonest undermining practices.

I totally agree. The current manager does nothing but try to fool you. She is truly useless.
