The beginning of the end for Maryland Managements Harpers Forest Apartments.How it was done so distastefully and why the Howard County Government refused to assist tenants.
In ruling on matters of law, Judges frequently cite "reasonableness," as a major consideration in their rulings.
There is nothing reasonable about the way Harpers Forest Apartments brought about it's own self inflicted destruction and recked the lives of many of it's most loyal tenants.

FREE WATER? YOU THINK? YEAH, AND THE TOOTH FAIRY IS GOING TO LEAVE A C NOTE UNDER YOUR PILLOW TONIGHT!
WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU IS THAT THE FREE WATER IS FROM THE UPSTAIRS TOILET AND YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE POSSESSION AT 3AM IN THE MORNING WHILE YOU'RE STUDYING FOR FINALS.
NOW THAT A COMMUNITY OF LOWER INCOME AND DISABLED TENANTS HAVE LEARNED THAT HARPERS FOREST MANAGEMENT BELIEVES, AND TREATS THEM LIKE, THEY'RE STUPID, THE LANDLORD HAS FOUND A NEW COMMUNITY OF THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH OUR LOCAL SLUM THAT'S JUST RIPE FOR THE CULLING - THE NEW STUDENTS AT HOWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

I SUBMIT THESE 4 POINTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
1.) HAVE YOU NOTICED THE HANDMADE SIGN PUT UP TO SNAG THE UNSUSPECTING?
REALLY NOW,
IS ANYTHING FREE?
YOU DIDN'T GET TO COLLEGE BY BELIEVING IN SANTA CLAUS AND EASTER BUNNIES, AND YOU DIDN'T GET THERE BELIEVING ANYBODY PROVIDES FREE(?) WATER. DOES HARPERS OWN THE WATER SUPPLY? IS IT THEIR WATER TO GIVE AWAY FREE TO RENTERS?
I THINK NOT AND YOU KNOW NOT!
JUDGE JUDY SAYS, "IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IT'S NOT TRUE," AND WHEN IT COMES TO MARYLAND MANAGEMENTS HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS ON TURNABOUT LANE, WHEN MANAGEMENT TELLS YOU THEY'RE GOING TO BUY YOUR WATER SUPPLY AND GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A GREAT GUY OR GAL - LISTEN TO JUDGE JUDY - "IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IT'S NOT TRUE," - AND AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, STUDENTS, THIS JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND IT'S NOT TRUE! TAKE A POWDER ON THIS DIVE, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF MISREPRESENTATION AFTER MISREPRESENTATION. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF SAFETY AND HEALTH CODE VIOLATION AFTER VIOLATION!
A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO HOODWINK YOU?
YOU BET!
2.) BE CAREFUL, COLLEGE STUDENTS, THERE'S A LOT OF SLEIGHT OF HAND THAT GOES WITH RENTING FROM HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS. AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, NOTHING IS FREE, AND IF THEY TRY TO CONVINCE YOU THAT IT IS, YOU KNOW THERE'S A SHELL GAME GOING ON WITH YOUR MONEY, AND AS WITH ANY SHELL GAME - YOU'RE BOUND TO LOSE! THAT'S STANDARD FARE AT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS ON TURNABOUT LANE. THAT'S STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR MARYLAND MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES.
DISHONESTY AND SCAM PERMEATES EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH MARYLAND MANAGEMENTS HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS ON TURNABOUT LANE.
ONE OF THEIR HUSTLES IS TO CHARGE YOU FOR YOUR MINI-BLINDS! EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING? THEY USED TO ADVERTISE THAT THEY HAVE BALCONIES - TILL YOURS TRULY CALLED THEM OUT ON IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO THE VILLAGE OF HARPERS CHOICE, THEY'VE NEVER HAD A BALCONY ON THE PROPERTY SINCE IT WAS BUILT AND THEY NEVER WILL! GET THIS - THEY'RE EVEN SO CYNICAL THAT THEY TASTELESSLY ADVERTISED HANDICAP AND DISABILITY ACCESS, THERE THEY GO AGAIN TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGED OF DISABLED FOLKS - DITTO!

3.) DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON A COMPLEX WITH A WATER SOAKED HISTORY LIKE MARYLAND MANAGEMENTS HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS. THERE'S A REASON WHY THIS PLACE IS KNOWN LOCALLY AS THE "SS NOAH'S ARK," AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF A NICE OLD MAN WITH A BEARD. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE VERY REGULAR FLOODING YOU'LL EXPERIENCE FROM THEIR AGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOME OF THE MOST "BAND-AID' AND "BACKYARD" TYPE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES YOU'LL EVER SEE, LIKE USING DUCT TAPE TO REPAIR BUSTED SEWAGE PIPES! THIS FACT WAS CONFESSED TO ME PERSONALLY BY FORMER MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR, RAY, WHILE DETAILING THE MEASURES HIS 2 EMPLOYEES, DON AND EUGENE, WERE TAKING TO STOP THE UPSTAIRS TOILET FROM LEAKING DIRECTLY ONTO ANYONE USING MY BATHROOM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, AS VERSATILE AS DUCT TAPE IS, IT DIDN'T WORK! MY BATHROOM REMAINED WATER AND SEWAGE SOAKED FOR MOST OF A YEAR. WOULDN'T YOU RATHER FOCUS ON YOUR STUDIES AND CAREERS THAN BE RENTING FROM A COMPLEX, THAT HAS SO MUCH FLOODING AND LEAKING SEWAGE, THAT YOU HAVE TO TIE YOUR APARTMENT TO A PIER AT NIGHT TO KEEP IT FROM FLOATING DOWN LITTLE PATUXENT PARKWAY LIKE A RUNAWAY RAFT?
A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO HOODWINK YOU?
YOU BET!
4.) HAVE THEY TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO FOOT THE BILL FOR RENTERS INSURANCE AT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS! JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING WITH THAT POLICY. THEY'RE TELLING YOU THEY ALREADY KNOW, AS YOU DO NOW, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT COST OF PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT NEITHER YOU OR THEY CAN AFFORD TO PAY THAT RESULTS FROM ONE OF THE MOST INEPTLY RUN AND MAINTAINED APARTMENTS IN HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH THIS REPUTATION.
A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO HOODWINK YOU?
YOU BET!
THERE ARE PLENTY OF LEGITIMATE APARTMENT COMMUNITIES NEARBY WHO WILL TREAT YOU LIKE A VALUED TENANT.
YOU WON'T FIND THAT IN HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS ON TURNABOUT LANE. YOUR GOOD GRADES AND EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS MAY DEPEND ON IT. CONCENTRATE ON YOUR PROFESSIONAL FUTURE - NOT THE DAILY TUG OF WAR YOU'LL EXPERIENCE TRYING TO BE TREATED WITH SOME MINIMAL LEVEL OF DIGNITY, AND THE HOOPS OF FIRE YOU'LL JUMP THROUGH TRYING TO MAINTAIN A SAFE AND PROPERLY FUNCTIONING APARTMENT. THE TUG OF WAY THAT'S JUST EVERYDAY LIFE AT THE HARPERS FOREST COMPLEX.
TAKE IT FROM THE HUNDREDS OF CURRENT AND FORMER RENTERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN BURNED BY A HUSTLING MANAGEMENT COMPANY -
DO NOT RENT FROM HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS!
