Tenant Rights Violations

The complex kicked multiple residents out of their units with little notice for 5 days and told them they would only be working only in a utility closet, but then many came back to their whole apartment having been worked on and messes everywhere. They also switched the locks on tenants during this time without a court order and behind their backs.

Additionally, they gave unit access to relatives who had no right to access without a court order and then refused to report it to the police. Their leasing agent Milissa even said she was going to go behind the property managers back to enter the apartment of a resident who was in the hospital when she was told not to by the property manager.
