Dishonest and greedy. Oh, so you signed a lease with them? Good thing they don't think they have to honor what you both agreed to. That's not illegal at all. What am I referring to you may ask? Oh, just the parking regulations that were signed as part of our lease. Now 9 months into a 12 month lease we find out that instead of issuing parking permits per lease holder as stated in the lease, they are issuing permits per bedroom. This is a problem if you are a couple who live in a one bedroom apartment. So now, as a couple we get one permit to "share", and one of us will have to fight with other visitors over a handful of spots. Yes, we are both on the lease, yet one of us will have to park in visitor parking permanently? At least until we can move out, which at this point can't come soon enough. Clearly this company doesn't care about it's tenants. Parking up to this point hasn't been an issue, there would be plenty of parking for all leaseholder. But, that makes sense and would be the decent and honest thing to do. Which is why they aren't doing it. Did I mention that we are paying $1300 in rent for 750 square feet in the suburbs of Nashville. Rent is set to go up by at least $100 if (laugh out loud) we are to renew. Just a warning about how this management company does business.

On a side note, the staff at our complex in the office and grounds are great. These guys who call all the shots, not so great.
