Z Eaton Place

PLEASE READ BEFORE LEASING: The Eaton Place Apartment complex is just took $1,800 out of our accounts for the next months lease DESPITE the fact that we have provided no less than 5 written and verbal notifications of our intentions to no renew the apartment WELL before the 60 day requirement. In addition, the $1,800 is what they are considering "market rate" for the apartment. Two things on this: 1) the apartment has considerable issues that have not been addressed for over a year (more on this below) and 2) the contract does not allow them to charge market rate. In fact the contract states the apartment would resort to month to month based on the original lease terms which would be $1,200. To add another layer, the apartment complex stated their manager was out for the past 2 days and refused to find a solution until the manager returned. However, they assured us they would not charge us anything until we had a chance to work this out with the manager. We even tried to work with them to find middle ground they the seemed open too, but instead were hit with an $1,800 charge without any warning. So not only are they refusing the acknowledge that we provided sufficient notice, they are also charging $600 above the rent factor for an apartment that is not livable during the winter. For context, this apartment will fall WELL below 60 degrees in the winter despite the heat fully turned on. This is a result of 3 inch wholes in the brick that the apartment complex has either a) refused to fix or b) consistently ignored. Sign a contract with them at your own peril. We are considering legal action to resolve this.

As a young professional, Eaton has been a great place to live. It's conveniently located to Kellogg; in walking distance to bars, restaurants, and live music; and has historic charm. I am so grateful for my time living at Eaton Place! It's served me well.
