| - Absolutely avoid them. Their rental rates may seem reasonable, but when you realize that practically none of that money gets reinvested in the property, it becomes clear that you're just lining the pockets of slumlords.
Expect pests. Ants, roaches, mice, and the biggie: rats. Yes, rats. Inside. There was also an issue with some animal living in the walls. Couldn't tell if it was a squirrel or a raccoon - both are frequently prancing about the roof and gutters.
Expect slow maintenance. My experience with CP maintenance has been they either ignore the request, or if there are multiple items requested, they'll take care of one item, and ignore the rest.
Do not fall for any promises made at the time of signing. We were promised the installation of a new appliance upon arrival. It took literally 6 months of haggling the rental office to get them to actually do the work. (The process of which included bashing holes in the wall.)
The apartment looked "ok" upon viewing, but upon move in, problems quickly became apparent. Aside from the pests, you're likely to find broken drawers, doors and cabinets that don't work properly, strategic holes in the baseboards (again, pests), poor heat circulation (one of the registers doesn't even work), light fixtures with no switches attached, drafty windows, closets that can't accommodate standard sized hangers, plenty of ungrounded outlets, cheap finish on the wood floors that is forever flaking off.
The previous reviewer commented on his basement steps. The basement steps in my building are a frightening sight. I don't work for the County, but there is no way that these are up to code.
As others have said, they do in fact force you to commit to a renewal in February, which is insane. It's clearly a pressure tactic to get you to renew.
I can't wait to move out of this dump, though I don't look forward to dealing with them trying to screw me out of the deposit.
Do your homework. CP Development / Regent Square Rentals is absolutely the worst rental experience I've ever had. It's a shame. Regent Square itself is a great neighborhood, and many of their properties could be great apartments if they were properly maintained. But they have no interest in reinvesting and making their properties nice places to live.
I don't know what other rental spaces are like in Regent Square, but they've got to be better than this.
