Review for Mayfair Chateau Apartments

Mayfair used to feel like home. A place where you knew your neighbors and your neighbors knew you as well. Now it appears that Mayfair is going to be as transient as some of the other expensive places around town because it's going to be too costly to live there long term. Many of the residents who have left Mayfair recently have done so not because they wanted to, but because they could no longer afford to live there. As far as I know, none of the occupied apartments have had any renovations on the interior, yet rents are skyrocketing immediately. Many residents have been month to month for many years and the old owners never forced the issue to sign a new lease every year. There was always a waiting list to move in because there was hardly any turnover. Management has now begun the practice of putting a somewhat patronizing letter on the door of those month to month renters and it gives them two weeks to make a decision that, for some, is very difficult and the options are very limited. Option 1 is to sign a 9 mo. renewal with a net increase of approx. $200 - $250/mo. (depending on the current rent you are paying). Option 2 is a 9 or 12 mo. renewal that would be another $130/mo. on top of option 1 (supposedly for interior renovations that will take place while the resident still lives in the apartment). Option 3 is to go month to month that would be another $100/mo on top of Option 2. All of this while living in what looks like a construction zone. Above example is for 1 BR and is not exact, but close enough. It is a shame for all those who loved living at the old Mayfair and for the new residents who won't get to enjoy the same experience.
