Watch out

Make sure and get everything in writing... they do with a 35 page lease. They tried to go back on a 50% off my first month's deal after I moved, they entered my apartment illegally, tried to apply rent towards a $35 utility bill and charge me a late fee, lost my lease and tried to charge me for month to month. Highly unorganized, there's a revolving door of new managers and their corporate office clearly doesn't care.
