$100 Rent increase in ONE YEAR!

I just resigned my lease and had a $100 increase! I've lived here less than a year! The apartment sent us a notice on December 11th stating we had to decide by the 15th if we were moving. We called to ask for an extension, which they granted us, b/c they didn't have the "new rent prices" yet. They called me January 14th and said it would be $100 a month, non negotiable. What do we benefit for paying this? NOTHING! We recieved a letter on the 19th saying if we didn't sign by the 21st there would be an ADDITIONAL $200 on top of the $100 b/c WE violated the lease by not letting them know 60 days ahead. 60 days? We didn't even know the price increase till that week!!! I did not have a day off to go look for a new place so I am stuck.<br><br>If you're looking for a quick place for a year it is fine, but definitly NOT worth paying that increase. $50 maybe. The apartment managers could care less about their tenants. Our front door has been broken for months and maintnence has YET to CORRECTLY fix the problem. The thermostat is broken and our energy bills are outrageous. It's off by 5 to 8 degrees every day. We can feel the cold seeping in through the windows and the bedroom wall. The dishwasher also does not clean dishes well, but of course, no one will fix it! ALso three walls have cracked since we've been here, again, no one has come to look at them.<br><br>Two of the apartments across the hall have been empty for months. I wonder why!!! This place is run down and old (built in the 70's) and if you can get a cheap deal (like we originally did), it's fine, but nothing special. You get what you pay for. Also, children pick fights with each other and I saw one boy beating up a girl who was laying on the ground. The neighbors in our building have been arrested once and yell abusive things at their kids all the time. Parents let their kids (about 8 to 12 years old) go to the pool unsupervised and they are swearing things I don't want my 4 year old niece to hear. I recommend looking somewhere safer and more energy efficient and newer, and definitly not here if you're staying longer than a year!
