I am a current tenant, appalled at the behavior of management and tenants regarding this website. Besides posting what could potentially be legally actionable posts naming and slandering former tenants at the Apt Ratings website, there is also the pathetic attempt by management (including FFL Board members), to flood this website with positive reviews, a clear abuse of this web site's review policy.
Below, I have copied a post to the FFL Yahoo Group on May 21, 2009 by FFL's property manager:
Hello all,
I wanted to make the coop and residents aware of the comments that your home has out on the internet (some of the first things that come up on google): This is a definite reason for our vacancy problems.
First, I want to take the opportunity to thank ------- for the only positive post on the site (apartmentratings.com). The best marketing is resident referrals and comments. I would like to encourage as much feedback as possible be put up on these site, hopefully more positive than not. But what prospect ant residents want to truly know is what you like and dislike about living here at Frogtown. Honest answers are always the best.
Please take the time if you have 10 to 15 minutes to put up a posting at any of the following sites.
www.apartmentreviews.net
Www.apartmentratings.com
As far as the feed back please feel free to communicate your dislikes to me or the board as we can always try to improve your living here at Frogtown. I surely hope this is a place that people love to live at. If its not what can we change together?
Sincerely,
--
