Only if it's in your contract. A separate type-included item that states if the rent goes up during your "current" rental agreement; which I really don't think they are allowed to do, that you either agree or disagree that the contract is broken. Either way, a new company trying to change rents in the middle of a rental contract is a breach of contract and they don't normally do that. However, unless you're looking at location; there are better apartments about two blocks below Hamilton Ridge on the right hill behind the condos. Because of Glentower being built, all the prices on Glenwood and Creedmoor, etc., will be going up. You need to look for what you get for the money. Them not paying water or sewer is nothing compaired to how old the places are, how you can hear your neighbor, how some buildings don't give you the safe feeling getting to and from your car. The club house is almost non-rentable, and they 'host' lots of little bubblegum events, but you pay for it's existance. Hamilton Ridge LOOKS good - the grounds are beautiful until they clear everything for whatever. However, the staff have managed to be less than adequate for over 5 years now... And if you think you're getting a bargain. The rent started at $669.00 7 years ago for a one bedroom. Living there they managed to get the price to $575.00 about 5 years ago, but it's been up up and up since. Consider, these apartments are at least 17-20 years old. If you're going to pay the money, go for something newer and nicer.
