Equity does not make smart decisions Equity does not make smart decisions. Our elevators have been broken for years, they continually break down causing long delays. Equity decided to renovate the entrance/lobby (when it was completely fine) for millions instead of fixing the elevators because "it wasn't time yet." Additionally, tenants have asked for a key fob to be placed on a side door. When the quote came back for a few thousand dollars, it was denied, despite the multimillion dollar renovation already underway. We have also been asking for dog feces DNA testing because so many careless owners don't clean up after their dogs in the court yard. I have had to replace three pairs of shoes now because I have stepped in it while walking. Equity does not care about tenant happiness, only the bottom line. Eventually this will catch up with them.

Charging me an insane amount of money… Charging me an insane amount of money for rent, then they closed ALL of the amenities even though it is not required by law. They are now refusing to negotiate a rent concession even though my rent is $3,500 and I have no access to any outdoor spaces or the gym that I PAID FOR! To break my lease, which I just re-signed on March 1st not expecting to have ZERO amenities, they are going to charge me $7,000. Remember, tenants, WE HAVE LEGAL OPTIONS!

Equity residential is the 3rd largest… Equity residential is the 3rd largest rental corporation in the country owned by Billionare Zelle who's a tyrant and a crook. They charge late fees even if you're on time there are 15 concurrent major law suits at any time. They never pay your deposit back and when you take them to small claims court they refuse to pay the judgement. Narcissist trump has bought their shares. If you see any rental research who owns it. If it's EQR RUN...

Resident appreciation R̥ͦe̥ͦg̥ͦg̥ͦi̥ͦe̥ͦ, has been a great support r̥ͦe̥ͦg̥ͦḁͦr̥ͦd̥ͦi̥ͦn̥ͦg̥ͦ any lease leasing or facility questions..🏆 However regarding loyalty regarding long-term residents we don’t get any recognition or appreciation .. especially every year our lease goes up tremendously.. that lets me know that this agency is not looking for long-term loyal great residents.. residents that pay Early every month..we don’t smoke don’t drink don’t party take care of the facility .. we feel like they’re trying to push us out every year .. ..

THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF! After living at Bell Fontaine for two years I can honestly say DO NOT RENT THERE or at any of Equity residential properties. They will rip you off and you’ll see it in your move out charges. They charged me to replace carpet that was under warranty and didn’t need to be replaced. They also charged me astronomical fees for cleaning and painting. There was no damage to anything in the unit, just simple wear and tear. Be prepared for them to raise your rent 10 percent every year and to retaliate against you for moving out by charging you unjust move out fees. You’ve been warned!
