Third Reich inside the Beltway

Disclaimer: this was my first time renting from an apartment complex, not a private owner, but Tysons Glen: <br> <br>1. seems terribly inflexible and bureaucratic. <br> <br>2. hires tow trucks to come in the middle of the night and tow away any cars without a resident or visitors permit. Forget to warn your visiting friends about this and you will quickly lose some friends. <br> <br>3. imposes stiff "non-refundable deposits" - an oxymoron - as a precondition to (a) moving in and (b) owning a pet on the premises. <br> <br>4. increased our rent by 16% after only one year, in the middle of a looming recession and right after my wife´s company filed for Chapter 11. How charitable of them! <br> <br>5. leaves repair and maintenance requests unanswered for days and weeks, and when they do come to do repairs, they do so unannounced, despite a contractual requirement to notify the tenant 24 hours ahead of time. <br> <br>6. office staff, each and every one - I kid you not - have multiple personality disorder. They are so polite and accomodating and helpful when you start talking to them, but if you make an unusual or troublesome request, or complain about anything, they turn into complete Nazis. Suddenly, nothing is negotiable, rules are rules, and the tenant is threatened and issued ultimatums until all opposition ceases. Resistance is futile. <br>
