                Price went up event though community problems continued. Since we have lived there we are spending around 30% more than when we started. Along with the switch to a monthly pet fee we are not renewing our lease

                                I do apologize that you feel this way. Our staff does strive to give better customer service than you received and there is no excuse that your smoke detector wasn't taken care of sooner. We agree that the online tool has issues. Imagine our frustration having to correct those errors on this end. Trust us, we too wish that the online system worked well. The reason that we don't/won't accept cash is a safety precaution and to insure that your money gets posted to the correct account. As far as the palmetto bugs go, I would be happy to have the pest control come out and consult to see if we need to add another step for the treatment. Please just call the office and get that scheduled. Sincerely, Your team at Vista Sands

                                                    Q: How can they get away with this. I never dreamed a lease could be so one sided. They totally protect themselves and basically screw the tenant. I own a business and should know better but the lease and the other paper work was so much that I didn't read it's entirety, my fault. I can't believe this is allowable or even humane. Contact renters protection agency if you have the same issues is all I can say. I am hoping they can help me. I know for a fact they are not up to date with the fire marshall code. Good luck to those who are leaving. Record the final walk through. How can they get away with this?!

                                                    A: Possibly because they are going section 8? Tenant's have been talking about this, but who knows. I will find out I guess if I have to go to small claims court. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS before not after like myself. :(
