WARNING: Griffin Weston is forcing me into a lease I never intended to sign, and for a unit I haven’t received keys to and have never moved into. This property has a shocking 21% vacancy rate, and now I understand why. After applying, I heard nothing for eight days, no approval, no communication. I assumed they’d moved on and began looking elsewhere. At the same time, I was acting as guarantor for my daughter’s lease. Amid that confusion, I accidentally signed Griffin Weston’s lease, thinking it was hers. As soon as I realized the mistake, I called to explain.
I hadn't been approved, received keys, or paid a deposit. The lease wasn’t even countersigned yet. But instead of showing understanding, the staff responded with cold indifference. Gerald, the leasing agent, was dismissive, and Lauren, the property manager, refused to work with me at all. A simple, honest mistake was treated as a legal trap. Desperate to resolve the issue, I even considered upgrading to a larger unit, but Gerald himself said I “wouldn’t like the layout,” and he was right, it's worse than the two bedroom. Their floorplans are cramped, lack storage, and are completely impractical for families. During my tours, I saw two tenants return their keys which is a red flag for a property this new. Instead of quality service, Griffin Weston uses punitive policies to trap tenants. I was told I’d need to give 60 days' notice and pay nearly $8,000 for a unit I never moved into. Meanwhile, they’re offering two months free rent, waived application and admin fees and gift cards just to get people in the door. That level of incentive screams desperation, not demand.
The property despite being newer feels outdated, with tiny bedrooms, no pantry, and barely functional kitchens. Their poor design, high prices, and lack of empathy explain their low retention and high turnover.
Other Greystar managers told me this kind of mistake is normally easily resolved; you lose your admin fees and walk away.
