Archstone Smith tesimonials

Just picked up a couple of these this morning on a google blog search.

Don't Move to the Meadows at Russett - (Laurel, MD)

And a couple of posts from a blog "Archstone Smith-Horrible Management" - I am a tenant at Archstone Smith's new aquisition, 180 Montague Street. I have heard many complaints about this management from people who live in this building, as well as other buildings that Archstone Smith manages. They have hiked up the rents (up to 30% in my building), and have not provided any new or improved services that would justify this. In fact, the service in this building has gone down.

No regard for Current Tenants My building has recently changed management to Archstone-Smith --I have to say it has been a disappointment in many regards: 1. Management has raised rents between 17 and 20 %, with no visible improvements in the quality of the service. 2. The halls and common areas (especially the rest rooms) are, to say the least, in unsanitary conditions (which was NEVER the case w/the prior management).

We have lived in the Key West for about a year, since a few months after Archstone Smith took over. While it is true they are doing a lot of renovations, it is on the backs of the current tenants, who are both paying MUCH higher rents and are livinf through hell. Maintenance is shoddy, contruction workers hog the elevators, and we are living in a construction zone.

This management is the most uncaring we have ever encountered and we won't be here long!
