We
originally
applied
for
the
Ellison
at
the
start
of
December
based
on
the
stellar
reviews
here.
Unfortunately
they
were
bought
out
shortly
before
we
applied,
so
we
had
to
apply
a
couple
of
times,
and
some
of
the
employees
at
the
office
were
constantly
losing
our
information
we
sent.
It
was
such
a
hassle.
We
begged
them
to
send
a
lease
over
all
the
way
until
about
5
days
before
our
scheduled
move-in
date
in
late
December,
when
we
finally
got
the
contract
the
term
was
wrong
(12
months)
and
they
had
jacked
up
the
price
by
about
$400/mo
on
us.
They
said
this
was
due
to
them
taking
the
most
currently
listing
price
and
since
we
didn't
explicitly
specify
the
lease
term
at
the
time
of
the
application
the
price
couldn't
change.
2
days
before
our
move-in.
We
were
packing
boxes
to
move
cities
and
this
was
the
scummiest
thing
I've
seen
a
company
do
to
a
prospective
resident.
We
noped
out
super
quick
and
managed
to
sign
somewhere
else,
where
we
signed
the
lease
2
hours
after
applying.
Some
luxury
apartment
company.
Do
yourselves
a
favor
and
find
one
of
the
better
(and
larger!)
apartments
for
rent
in
the
downtown
Des
Plaines
area.
We
are
so
glad
this
happened
because
we
found
a
way
larger
space
with
cheaper
rent.
The
only
reason
I'm
not
giving
this
a
1*
is
because
of
Gil.
Gilbert
is
part
of
the
company
that
took
over
and
he
really
went
out
of
our
way
to
fix
anything
in
his
power,
unfortunately
the
pricing
was
a
corporate
decision
but
he
was
with
us
until
the
end.
Thanks
for
being
great
Gil,
but
the
Ellison
lost
some
future
tenants
because
they
couldn't
get
their
act
together.
