Yep. I lost my apartment because of this. Went from $1400 to $2300. The day I moved out, other neighbors were packing their cars/uhauls, too.
They went through this whole rebranding where they were trying to be "luxury apartments" which is hilarious because they never did anything to actually make the place nicer. They just changed the name, put up fancier signs, and raised the rent. The pool and workout room remained inaccessible after 3+ years, there were still piles of garbage in the parking lot, neighbors still complained about mold and roaches, the kitchen cabinets still looked like they were painted by a drunk 12 year old, they still hadn't fixed my mailbox that was allegedly blown up by a kid with a firework after many months, and the maintenance crew still ignored maintenance requests and just marked them as complete in the system.
Fuck that place, and fuck heartless, profit-obsessed landlords.
Yep, my building got a new logo, and now there is a Keurig and a bowl of Costco snacks in the lobby. I now know what it feels like to live in luxury.
