The complex is 300 units. It's owned by a corporation and that's why they make us pay for the electricity they use for the complex, make us all buy liability policies in their name (corporation), pay for the landscaping water, etc. Before when it was owned by a local group of investors, we paid rent and water/sewer/trash. They bought their own liability insurance and paid for the electricity & water used by the complex (so it came out of our rent). The corporation came in everything changed (60 page leases!)
They also use that algorithm program to set the rent so rates are artificially increased when all the corporate complexes use the algorithm (there have been posts about it on here).
People who rent in smaller complexes (fewer than 50 units) are much happier with the private owners. They say their landlords are actually nice to the tenants. They also aren't subjected to the semi-annual "inspections" (with less than 24 hours notice)that we are like we live in some sort of government housing. But those small complexes are hard to get into because they are few and far between AND the happy tenants don't leave. Oh, and their leases are no bigger than 10 pages.
I know owners of small complexes in other states. When I send them copies of my leases, they are shocked. They always say "And people call us greedy and difficult!"
