Solero At Plantation

Update:
I am writing to reply to Grand Peaks’ message.
1. My car was never towed for parking in two spaces, I was towed 1 week in after moving. I was left a note months after the original towing to not park in two spaces at the clubhouse all the way to the back where no one parks after my car had been hit several times with doors and I had to have it repaired. But that brings me to another point, there not only isn’t parking but when you do find one, it will get hit by other people’s cars or doors since they allow 5 people in a 1br apartment in this establishment.
2. You say you found no evidence of 5 people living in the apartment in front of me and basically being a brother. This is surprising because I made over 5 phone calls because of the constant smell or weed (which I don’t really care about) and down right yelling at the top of the lungs. If the office had just issued resident parking decals you would have maybe found some «evidence» of more than 5 people living in this apartment since they all drove White Work Vans and took up all the spaces by the building.
3. Update: I missed a payment by 2 days over the weekend ONE time during my whole lease on my last month but not only wouldn’t you waive the $ 200 DOLLAR late fee and $ 10 Dollar for the second day fee (which is almost 15% of the rent) but I received the rudest customer service I have ever had from any leasing office.
— – BTW, as the Florida Supreme Court recently held in Lefemine v. Baron, a liquidated damages clause will not be enforceable if the contract also gives the non-​defaulting party the right to bring an action at law for accrual damages. Further, the fact that it accrues past the $ 200 dollars set as liquidated damages is illegal. Also, the $ 25 dollar civil penalties you like to access are illegal since contractual penalties are per se illegal under the law. Don’t worry, as soon as I get my bill from you guys accessing me the late charges and the one penalty you accessed to me I will take this to court (since I am a lawyer) and have all instances of these penalties or illegal late fees accessed thoroughly reviewed by the court.
4. The garbage man is the most selective garbage man I have ever come across. (You have to leave bags outside of your door to be picked up between 6−8pm. But no worries, if you leave it before this time or violates any of their numerous little rules, you will be fined $ 25 dollars.) This garbage man left my trash out for a full week on a couple of occassions. From instances of a bag being a smaller trash bag so it didn’t meet «standards» to it weighing more than what he thinks is appropriate (leaving 5 bags at my door on my last day because each suppossedly weighed more than 25lbs although I was able to carry all 5 of them to the trash so I guess they were a «little» less than those 25lbs each). Any excuse to not take out your trash, he will make it. We had a random vacuum cleaner in the hallway someone threw out bouncing around from door to door for 2 weeks because he wouldnt take it and no one knew who’s it was.
I am finally gone from your complex and couldn’t be happier.

****UPDATED REVIEW***JANUARY 2016****
*** As of January 5^th, Solero At Plantation is under a new management company. Time will tell if this complex remains deserving of 4 stars.****
We have lived here since mid-​Sept. 2015, relocating from another city in FL. It has been almost 25+ years since we lived in a rental complex, and used to owning single family homes. So far we are really enjoying Solero. We live in one of the ³⁄₂ units, with a 2 car garage. The unit was very clean, didn’t smell bad, no bugs, almost like brand new. The staff has been patient, kind, and helpful in answering all my newbie kinds of questions since it’s been so long since we have been in a rental situation. The maintenance staff I have met are great. We have had a couple of normal, non-​emergency items come up which have been addressed in a timely manner. I have not used the pool, but it is sparkling clean, looks inviting. The grounds are well maintained, I haven’t seen a lot of trash laying around, grass/​bushes nicely trimmed. The security gates work the way they are suppose to since we have lived here, which I like too. The dog park is big enough to for dogs to fetch a ball, and in general most dog owners do pick up after their dogs, a plus. In general I don’t give 5 stars as that means perfect to me, and few things are.
