I moved in in March, and my roommate and I had a lot of issues with our lease. We finally had it mostly figured out, and then Cardinal bought the complex.
Now we can no longer pay separately and/or using Flex

Loved this place for while (particularly with how responsive maintenance has been) but recently they 1) changed management companies and didn't tell anyone until after we found out through other means and 2) started offering new tenants rates WELL below what I'm paying. This is extremely unfair to long term tenants and I'm starting to consider not renewing next year...

Seems all about the money to them. Won’t fix items that are paid for in the monthly rent, won’t answer phone calls or legitimate questions, and their units are CRAZY overpriced for the space that is provided. And this is an apartment meant for students. Kind of a joke — wouldn’t recommend living here.

I've been a tenant here since 2022 and my rent has gone from $700/month to $835/month in that time. I signed this current lease under the implicit agreement that it was in my economic best interest. At the time, I was under the credible threat that rent would increase (as it has every year since I’ve been here), and it would be the "lowest rates available for 2025-2026" as advertised in my renewal offer.
However, that does not appear to be the case as they are currently offering significantly lower rates. For reference, the two rooms in my unit are currently vacant. Were they to be filled at the current advertised rate, both my roommates combined would pay less than me for the same room type. This is an egregious breach of trust between landlord and tenant
Ideally I would like my current lease to be amended so the rent would be more in line with current market rates, but old management (Four Star Realty) did not negotiate fairly on this issue, and new management (Cardinal Group) has been waiting for weeks, on an issue that’s been going on since Aug. 2025, to hear from the owners of the property (Brickstone) on their review of the situation.
TLDR: They promised the lowest rent for the year, broke that promise/trust, and are taking their time to resolve it.

The management has changed three times in the one year that I have lived here. None of these management teams have been very communicative. My roommate and I have even been verbally disrespected for trying to get information after our lease agreement was being changed without letting us know. I have had maintenance requests ignored. I have had members of the team enter my apartment numerous times with no warning at all despite multiple complaints. My lease was threatened if I did not attend an external roommate mediation because my initial roommate had unjust complaints about myself (I later found out that this is not entirely legal). I was initially placed with a roommate with an aggressive dog that attacked myself and my own dogs multiple times (I was not given warning that myself and my dogs would be placed with other animals). Management has placed pesticides in common areas which threatens the health of all animals in a “pet friendly” community. Now, new tenants are being offered leases that are priced at less than half of what my roommate and I are paying.
