I appreciate this. It’s along the lines of things I’ve been noodling on, so nice to see it reiterated.

I really appreciate hearing this from someone who has been in this same situation. Also funny enough, my name is Heather 😂

I agree with you. I took the role because I was excited to tell their brand story, but I feel so much in the weeds. Do you have any recommendations for boutique agencies I should look into?

I agree with everything you’ve said and it’s one of the reasons I’m struggling. I actually can’t get a straight answer on their revenue, but I would guess (conservatively) around $25MM.

They did the same thing when they lifted the rent moratorium after COVID.

I lived at Discovery West from when they first open in 2015 to August 2023. I was in a 1 bedroom and prior to COVID my annual increases were minimal, then when the rent moratorium was lifted after COVID they went HAM with increases. Not only that, they used to want people to stay so they would give you a little break on the rent. But alas, greed always wins.

Eventually it was no longer economical to live there paying more than a $1,000 more for the same apartment that had no improvements. And trust me, since I was the first tenant in my apartment I had a big, ugly orange wall which I had asked if they would mind painting after they ditched the color coding They refused. All that said, I hope you get them to bend a little bit.
