Premium Price for Garbage Quality

Harbor Point on the Bay has a wonderful location. Pros: near the Red Line, near Star Market. Cons: costs are out of control. You are paying Lanterra prices to live in the Columbia Point projects with a few coats of paint and vinyl plank flooringā€¦Ā See More >

            The place is run by predatory vultures. I would suggest going to Penninsula apartments instead if you need to move to the area. I have lived here for under 3 months, and so far, aside from around 10 eviction e-mails, notices, physical mail, and FINALLYā€¦Ā See More >

                            Raul, Thank you for your review, I believe our management office and you and or your daughters roommates have been in touch recently. We are hoping to get this transaction satisfied for all the parties involved. The Security Deposit regulations in MA clearly states all leaseholders need to be named on the check and we are not able to add "and/or" due to protecting all resident/leaseholders rights for endorsing the check. As a Management Company we would like to have the flexibility to issue checks based on leaseholders preferences it is a burden for us sometimes as well. This is a prime example of the Security Deposit regulations causing some difficulty, but for the most part they protect the leaseholders. Thank you Justin Holstrom jholstrom@cjmanagement.com 617-825-2033

We remove the mold quickly and effectively if you have any present. This must be a one off occurrence as we don't typically have service requests for mold.

                                                    A:Ā The required deposits vary depending on an applicant's credit screening results. We currently require a minimum of one month's rent security deposit from all of our residents. We may also require an additional last month's rent deposit based on the results of an applicant's credit report.
