I live next door to the perry, this is a really trashy apartment complex, they basically rent rooms out and it attracts the lowest quality people. Always loud, blaring music, etc.

In summary, they are unprofessional and disrespectul, and will try to violate the very terms of the leases they created. They have no regards for clients.

The worst people ever. We were going to take the transfer of the lease since the beginning of 2022, and have been submitting all of the required documents. However, one day Linda Fowles just sent an email notifying that we get rejected, while we have been the owner of the lease. Such a misconduct
