After Peak Living bought out my complex, the rent for a 1 bedroom apt (750sq ft, 1-year lease) has increased 45% for new tenants.

I was paying $1030 total for a one bedroom 750sq ft, 12/mo in a lease that would've ended February 2021 (water, trash, pest control, everything included)

Now they want over $1500 for the same apartment as a baseline price that doesn't include water. Market rent is high, but it's not this high anywhere else in my region.

Peak Living also removed one of the biggest perks of living at my complex: Water included in the rent. ConService will now manage our utilities.

I have only heard bad things about this company. We are now charged $16 for a liability waiver, an extra $5 per month for even using ConService, and an unknown amount for the actual utilities.

Water used to be $56 and I am given no answers in how much it will be now. We have to wait and see.

The Peak Living team has been very forthright with me on what to expect moving forward, but I do not have confidence that this will be an affordable home for much longer.

I advise anyone who is thinking of moving into a Peak Living-operated complex to make a very concise list of questions and be deliberate with your needs/budget. Do your research and pay close attention to everything before you sign a lease.
