Report
Daughter that's autistic lived at their property. PM cohersed her into signing a release of resident instead of an ntv giving her 9 days to vacate. As the property was sold. Maria broke rules and I've not been able to reach a RM at corporate to file complaint. Guess driving to Save Road Office will be in my future.

Never answers their calls, no receptionist to patch you thru. The only good thing about them is their apartment's location.
