Buttonwood Gardens does not view their tenants as people, they only view them as sources of income. Your rent will increase at every lease renewal. If you are okay with this, Buttonwood is a decent place to live.
My wife and I have been great tenants for more than 3 years and have brought several other tenants to Buttonwood Gardens in that time. We were approaching the time to renew our lease, as we were searching for houses, and we explained to Buttonwood that we did not know if we would find a house in 1 month or 6. Buttonwood forced us into signing a new lease with the following options. Buttonwood's options were either 2 month leases at +33% of our normal lease rate or a 6 month rate at roughly 5% increase. We chose the 6 month lease. At 2 weeks into our lease term, we found a house and needed to break the lease early. Buttonwood's terms were that we would need to give 2 month's notice before we can move out, plus another 3 months of rent for the early break. If you're keeping track of the math, that's 5 total months of rent to break a 6 month lease. If you are a new tenant to Buttonwood, the lease break is 5 months rent (4 months @ 2 years, 3 @ 3 years). After repeated attempts to come to a reasonable conclusion with RP Management and Buttonwood, they were unwilling to work with us and are demanding over $5,000 in fees. As I mentioned earlier, they do not view their tenants as people, but merely as sources of income.
