All in the name of $$$$

Your apartment got a lick of trendy paint and a 'granite' counter and we raised the rent out of your reach to pay for it. Good luck everybody!

Wait for them to replace things that were old but sturdy with literally the cheapest possible replacement (that's worse in every way except now it's painted gray) and act like that's an upgrade.

Newly "Remodeled" apartments means they got rid of the old hood that actually vented outside; put down new paint; and laid down linoleum everywhere there was carpet before.

At least, that's what it meant for the apartments I moved into last year.

You just perfectly described why I couldn’t stay in my Boystown/North Halsted apartment after college. The apartment was a dump while I lived there but I’d kill to pay that little for that location again

Holy crap! This is getting national attention? I used to live in this complex.
