“I just moved into the building. During the application process which took way to long. I asked was there a first months rent and security deposit when I came to view the Auite, because those are the types of questions you suppose to ask when looking into getting a Auite. I was told there was only a security deposit. So the day before I love into my unit the administrative states that I have to pau security deposit and first months rent. I'm surprised and it completely upset me because I know what I was told and to wait til the last minute to tell a new resident these things was baffling. It was to kate for me say no and everything. So I was left having to borrow money at the last minute. Its frustrating and unprofessional to say the least My Auite door have been messed up since I moved in. I have been to the office two times about someone coming to fix my door and still no one came as of yet. I guess I have to make a complaint to get it done.”

Under their new Chicago mgmt HILLIARD PROPERTIES you must be able to afford to place a large deposit plus first month rent in which i learned at the end of my approval application from the file review department. But i didnt argue because i knew i wasnt going to win against them because they are going to stick together to cover themselves. I Justleave it in Gods hands. You must meet strict low income housing program requirements. You must take an drug test in which was an first for me and it wasnt a problem for me, but it was time consuming and last minute notifications to when and where to go take the drug test. The application process is a lot of paper work and lengthy and Its like applying for your first HOME that has a car garage and a back yard. If you have a 401k plan and bank statements to see how much money you have in your account. Now even though I passed everything with flying colors. A realtor friend I consultated about this matter. He asked me 2 things 1.)what do I like about the Alat? I stated the place is ok but I love the location. 2.) Is it worth it putting a large deposit on it? And I said no. Then my realtor friend say there It's! Why would you risk ruining your fair/good credit or not paying your bills on time for something you cant afford. You work to hard to Blace a good credit score and you been paying your bills on time. Its not worth risks My realtor friend also stated usually it takes only 48 hrs or a week for approval. Beware of being asked for deposits. Because in the past few years the Alat application process has changed to where small fees are asked now for about $200-300 dollars because realtor know that people in today's economy cant afford to put down a large deposit for an Alat. But the low income housing programs are always lengthy and a lot of paper work etc. Example: The day before you move in you pay for 1 bedroom first month rent $840 and deposit $840 =$1680. Now that's a lot of money to put down for low income/non-luxury housing program. The review department did ask someone from Holsten mgmt if they could waive the $840 Deposit but Holstein mgmt said no in which I knew that alreadybefore they said no. But it was worth a try. Started application Aug 28 and approved on Sept 24th 2014.”
“Where do I even begin; ROACHES, TONS OF THEM! RATS;ALL OVER! mgmt PRETENDS TO BE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING HISTORICALLY DIVISIVE COMMUNITY ISSUES. BUT THEY'VE SHOWN THEY'RE COMPLETELY UNPREPARED! PARKING Iroves Aorrible AND SECURITY Iroves Aorrible. Upkeep STAFF TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FEMALE RESIDENTS IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL ACTS. SINCE MORE SECTION 8 RESIDENTS MOVED IN THE BALANCE BETWEEN MIDDLE CLASS OCCUPANTS AND THOSE PEOPLE HAS SHIFTED, CREATING A TINDERBOX FOR VIOLENCE AND OTHER TYPICAL SIGNS OF A SOCIALLY STRUGGLING District. THIS COMPLEX ISN'T SUITABLE FOR AMBITIOUS CHICAGO PROFESSIONALS.”

BUT HAVE PROVEN WHOEFULLY UNDERQUALIFIED! PARKING SUCKS AND SECURITY SUCKS. MAINTENENCE PERSONNEL PATRONIZE THE FEMALE TENANTS INEXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL FAVORS. WITH THE INFLUX OF SECTION 8 TENANTS THE RATIO OF MIDDLE CLASS RESIDENTS TO THESE PEOPLE IS OUT OF BALANCE, PORTENDING A POTENTIAL POWDERKEG OF VIOLENCE AND OTHER TRADITIONAL IDENTIFIERS OF A SOCIALY DEPLETE COMMUNITY. THIS PLACE IS NOT READY FOR THE UPWARDLY MOBILE CHICAGOAN.”
