I wish I could move out
I've been a resident at Rasa for a little over 6 months now and I can't wait for my lease to be over so I can move out ($4000 fee to terminate the lease early!). Some reasons why:
- The building is new construction, so looked great at first but on closer inspection it appears they chose the cheapest materials (cabinets, paint, etc.) possible. Great shared amenities, but we learned we have to pay a $500 deposit and $75 per hour with a minimum of 2 hours if we want to have more than a couple of... people over. That includes the roof deck!
- Security is a joke here. We had multiple packages stolen from the lobby and multiple forced-entry theft happening last year in the garage where at least 8 bikes were stolen. All of that amounting to thousands of dollars in loss.
- Management DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE RESIDENTS. To quote the Community Director (after months of a group of tenants had been trying to have security increased)
"I also want to make it very clear that the owners do not have to do any of these things. So come March or April and they decide not to move forward with ButterflyMX then you will have to live with the call box that we already have. Same for the bike room"
and
"This will be my last email about this situation. Any other updates I will send out a community wide email. I will also not be forwarding emails to any new people added to the petition letter after it was sent to me."
My experience with her has been by far the worse I've ever had when dealing with "landlords". Had she been on the tenants side and shown sympathy and concern for our security, maybe I would not be posting this review. But the disrespect and negligence towards the tenants has gone too far now.
