Don’t move here. Period.
Owners don’t care, expect for rent money.
Instead of just renting lots and allowing people to own their homes they’ve switched to a rent the lot and lease the house in one. That was last year, this year empty houses are costing more than empty lots and the landlord is subsequently putting that expense on existing and new tenants.
My lots rent has increased almost $200 in 2 years. Before considering any raises before 2021. Before paying our second months rent, we were notified rent was increasing $60. They tired to disguise $20 as services rendered, in reality they just no longer include them in the rental rate. We signed our lease Oct 31, we received notice of rental increase right after thanksgiving.
One of the services we now pay for separately is trash. And it’s the cheapest provider, with no recycling like the standard for Tulsa. At least it runs twice a week, a necessary routine to remove excessive garbage. However they don’t empty your bins completely, so you might have a stray knock it over after the trash runs and smear the Taco Bell they left in the bottom of the can across the driveway.
Then there’s driveway etiquette, or lack thereof. It’s a private community so it’s unlikely proper justice for jay-parking will ever occur. What can I say, half of large truck drivers either don’t know or don’t care to park reasonably and respectfully.
Security gates don’t work, and it seems they’re going to charge us per month per head to use the only entrance. On top of the rent. Just rent a real house. Renting here is dumb, and it’s getting dumber to own and pay this much for a lot.
