If I could give 0 stars, I would.
My husband and our two babies rented a small one bedroom apartment from Lina for $2295 per month. We had a signed lease agreement for 3 months (October to January). We ended up being kicked out the day before Thanksgiving.
Allow me to elaborate.
My husband had emergency appendix surgery and missed two weeks of work. We were short a paycheck as a result. We were working with a Veteran organization (as my husband is an Iraq War veteran) to get rent paid and had already been approved. It was due November 16, but our local AFW fronted the complex $250 and we gave them the last $50 from our bank account as a good faith gesture that rent was going to be paid by the monday following Thanksgiving. The veteran organization who had approved us for assistance reached out to Lina asking where the check needed to be sent and she refused the check. She would not wait for the check to arrive and instead told us and the organization representative on 11/19 that if we weren't out of our apartment by 11am 11/20 she would call the police and have us forcibly removed.
The stress of impending homelessness lead to my husband having to be put on a psychiatric hold at the VA. I had to move myself, my two babies, and our things out of the apartment in less than 12 hours alone while my husband was in the hospital. That morning at 10:30, 30 minutes before we had to be out or police would be called, Lina called one of the other organizations we were working with and said she had decided overnight that she didn't want to kick anyone out over Thanksgiving and that she would wait for the check if she could get a promise to pay letter, which the original representative had already offered to do. She then called the organization representative a liar and said that she didn't mean she WOULD call the police, just that she was stating she had the right to and that she had done it before and that she didn't want to, but that she was running a business.
I spent Thanksgiving alone in my friends apartment while he was out of town because this woman would not wait 3-5 days to get her check.
Prior to this, Lina and her cleaning crew have mandatory inspections they do under the guise of weekly cleanings. You must vacate the apartment entirely and you must keep the place pristine or you will get a nasty phone call. You don't have the choice to say "Not this week, my husband had surgery" or "My kids are sick, we can't do this week". Lina told me verbatim "I can come into your apartment anytime I want. I just let you know as a courtesy." Nice, right? I pay $2295 to live in essentially a prison. There is no way to mechanically lock the door from the inside. There is a key pad that you punch your code into and that's how you get in. No deadbolts, no latches, no locks. So in theory, I could be bathing and Lina could decide to just waltz in and I have no say about it.
She invaded our privacy constantly inspecting our apartment. She was condescending and rude. She illegally kicked us out. She caused my husband to have to go inpatient. She said horrible things about a CHARITY WORKER for disabled veterans! She cost us thousands of dollars in deposits, rent, and hotel stays. My husband lost his job. The entire ordeal was not even remotely worth having a place to stay.
Boston Commons Executive Suites is bad news. Stay as far away as you...
