I have been trying to reach somebody at a property that I have been working with since March (two different property managers which was a mess who were both nice and helpful but just as frustrated as I was/am). I was given a July 1st move in date and I have not heard anything from the property as of today (June 29th and the worst part is I basically gave notice to the place I am currently staying).
I have called with no answer and without the ability to leave a message and I have sent several emails, so I decided to try contacting corporate which is HDC Mid-Atlantic only to get the same response all the voicemails are full to call back at another time and no response to my email. I was looking so forward to moving in (I was literally given an apartment number so I'm kind of baffled) and not being homeless.

I lived at Providence house for 13 years. Just before covid I have water leaking in my window on the third floor on the inside of my window ruin my pictures and a few other items this one on for over a year they keep bringing knuckleheads and try to fix it with no help. Finally I just got fed up and moved out no notice they charged me a month's rent fee for leaving without I noticed. Trying to contract property Management no help no one there who actually works I think charging me for leaving a month rent and cruel I shouldn't charge them for all the hell I want through. And I was the one cleaning up the mess.

After reaching out several times I give up. I finally got a hold of the secretary explained my situation and I was dismissed saying nowhere was accepting applications in lancaster. Suggested I should call a place didn't offer information or direction I should head towards. I don't know how they get away with claiming they help low income individuals. I could not be more in need then I am at the moment.
