THE ABERRATION

OVER THE COURSE OF THIS LAST YEAR I'VE MET QUITE A FEW TENANTS WHO HAVE JUST RELOCATED TO THE COLUMBIA AREA AND FOR THOSE WHO STARTED THEIR JOURNEY AT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS IT'S BEEN A RUDE AWAKENING. ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY THEY'VE SAID THEY RARELY ENCOUNTER THE BRAZENLY OFFENSIVE ATTITUDES LIKE THOSE THAT ARE SO PREVALENT AT HARPERS FOREST. WHAT I'VE TRIED TO POINT OUT IS THAT IN THIS CASE THE CONDITIONS HERE AT HARPERS FOREST ARE AN ABERRATION TO THE CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT OTHER COLUMBIA COMMUNITIES. COLUMBIA MARYLAND IS HOST TO SOME VERY HONORABLE AND PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED COMMUNITIES. TO LEAVE THE IMPRESSION ON FIRST TIME TENANTS THAT HARPERS FOREST IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE REST OF OUR APARTMENT COMMUNITIES WOULD BE AN INJUSTICE TO THOSE PROPERTY MANAGERS WHO WORK VERY HARD WITH TENANTS - NOT AGAINST - TO MAKE THEIR COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE FOR RENTERS AND A MORE PROFITABLE BUSINESS FOR MANAGEMENT. YOU'RE NOT LIKELY TO FIND THIS US AGAINST THEM ATTITUDE AND THE DEMONIZING OF TENANTS THAT'S PRACTICED HERE - AT PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE EXCELLENT APARTMENT COMMUNITIES RIGHT HERE IN COLUMBIA - BUT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. IT'S FOR THIS REASON THAT IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING AN OUTLET FOR HARPERS FOREST TENANTS TO SOUND OFF ABOUT THEIR DETERIORATING LIVING CONDITIONS - WE ALSO WANT TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THOSE LANDLORDS AND COMMUNITIES WHO PRACTICE A MORE ETHICAL BRAND OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. THE KIND OF MANAGEMENT THAT DEMANDS THE VERY BEST FROM THEIR TENANTS AND IN RETURN PROVIDES THE VERY BEST TO THEIR TENANTS.

IN ADDITION TO THE NIGHTMARISH STORIES OF LIFE AT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS - IF YOU'RE APARTMENT COMMUNITY IS ONE OF THOSE THAT DO NOT TREAT TENANTS LIKE HARPERS DOES AND INSTEAD WORKS WITH TENANTS TO IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS. IF YOUR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT HAS A MORE DIGNIFIED AND HONORABLE WAY OF DOING BUSINESS WITH RENTERS - TELL US ABOUT YOU'RE EXPERIENCE. SEND AN -MAIL TO -
