YES! Communities

After years of being told I was responsible for the upkeep of the trees on my property, and pouring hundreds of dollars into having them maintained, I came home from work one afternoon and found one of my trees had been chopped down and a mess left in my yard. The order to destroy the tree came from the corporate office. All the tree needed was its yearly trimming, which I had called that day to have done. There is no reason whatsoever that corporate had to do this. In doing so, they caused all the money I had spent on upkeep to be wasted - since they turned around and all of a sudden decided the tree was theirs to do with as they pleased. In addition, it has destroyed my yard and the curb appeal I once had and it has caused my electricity bill to go up because I no longer have shade on the front of my house. I have also lost all the birds I loved feeding. Since they have no tree to roost in, they have left. This company doesn't care about its residents. They only care about the almighty dollar. Now I have a horribly unsightly bush growing in my yard and I will not put another penny into taking care of anything.

Ever since new management took over here 4/5 years ago. At preston on the lake. It's been one constant harassment of tenants. Mainly in the name of petty greed. Led by mgr. Stephanie majefski and her lawn monkeys. Always looking for ways to screw and charge tenants with threats of extra "fees" if certain situations are resolved within their timeframe. An example. Yesterday received notice that my blinds in my windows must be replaced within a couple of days or risk them buying blinds at $50 a pop. I own my home out right! And for them to snoop around and tell me what I can/can't have and threats to take away and charge tenants for it. I've had enough! I've been here since 08' and i've been disabled since 2010. My lot rent is paid on time (automatically) each month. I'm not in good health. I suffer from cardiovascular disease and my heart only functions at 15%. Since stephanie has taken over. It's a constant flow of taking things away from the residents. That the park used to do. Now making it the residents responsibility to take care of. If not, residents are met with threats of fees and such. Examples... Since taking over. Every spring. The park used to do a courtesy leaf rake of everyone's home. To start the mowing season. They stopped that but raised the lot rent. Next... They used to also do a courtesy lawn mow for everyone to start the season. That stopped but lot rent was raised that year. Also there is a lot of unnecessary lawn maintenance going on here use to be the contracted mowers were here twice a month. If you did mow yourself. They mowed and you were charged $20. Now they mow every week. A lot of times, not needed. I've seen them riding around doing donuts. Not mowing a damn thing because their blades don't go low enough. I'm going to start filing them! But now if you don't mow. It's $40 or more a pop or a weed eating fee of $15 is charged. For those like myself on a fixed income. Can add up. But they don't care. All about trying to find ways to increase revenue. Then there are the trees. Used to be if trees were getting out of hand. Contact management and thy made arrangements to trim those trees as needed. That stopped... But lot rent was raised yet again! Now it's the residents responsibility to trim trees that don't belong to us. Since we're only renting the lot. I have one now that is hanging dangerously over my home. And the trees on on the lot next door. What do we pay them for!? I've had all the crap i'm going to take. Stress I don't and won't put up with. I've contacted an attorney and my cardiologist about the goings on here. Plus I am protected by the americans with disabilities act. Yes corporate office needs to take a long hard look at the practices going on in their communities. But from what other complaints i've read. Seems to be the norm in many of their communities. Must be their policy. Either this gets resolved or I will take legal action!
Thanks
