I want to write and let you know of not only my concerns, but my struggles in dealing with my "home" at Retreat at the Flatirons in Broomfield, CO, one of your sites. My boyfriend and I moved into a one BR/one bath with a detached garage in July of 2014. I am not only excited to leave the Retreat, but I am 100% I would never live here again, nor will I recommend the Retreat to others looking for a living situation. First, upon signing our lease, we were signing on for a gated community, yet it seems even to this day we are not gated, which comes in handy during my DAILY parking dilemmas. The parking has been so bad we (as tenants AND garage owners) have had to park our second car- which the Retreat understood when we signed our lease in 2014 as a couple with two cars, considering the fact they allotted an extra space for a second lease signer on the rental. Weird that the Retreat allots an extra spot on the lease for an additional signature, yet never once understood the math it takes to have enough parking for even HALF the residents. Now, parking was happening, tenants we're getting crafty and finding spots to park; then all the sudden we are told to park OUTSIDE the complex, even in the parking lot labeled "for Future Residents." This is not only annoying, it's MORE annoying that they only allow parking in those areas during "non-leasing hours"; so a basic slap in the face for tenants working from home or that do not need to move their cars during the day. I kept telling myself, "just a few more months and you're done here" and then the latest issue... those gates that have YET TO WORK in our GATED COMMUNITY allowed an intruder onto our premises long enough to STEAL MAIL (leaving only junk mail). This is an issue. I don't know that a gate would have 100% kept an intruder out, but it would have helped, and had it been that we'd had some form of GATE during this process maybe they wouldn't have targeted our community. They didn't break into our neighboring apartments, why? Because THEY ARE GATED.

Now, just to let you know, we recently tried to speak to the leasing office regarding leaving our lease sooner, rather than later due to the issues this community has had/caused for us; of course I was met with a list of fines I'd face if I were to terminate my leasing agreement before our listed termination date. With that, I am forced to live in a community that has no way of regulating parking, other than taking away ALL VISITOR parking inside our community, and a designated Luxury Gated Community lacking 100% in gates.

So I am held to my side of the agreement and the company I signed with is, in NO WAY, held to their side of the agreement.
