I had an incredibly troubling experience living at Lake House Apartments under Lincoln Property…read moreManagement now Willow Bridge, and I strongly advise against renting here.
The property management staff appear to monitor residents far beyond what is acceptable. They use security cameras not just for security purposes, but to keep track of residents' movements both inside and outside of the building. I personally experienced situations where staff members would follow me around, and they seemed to be aware of my whereabouts at all times. There was also a troubling incident where my apartment key was given to a staff member after hours, and a temporary key was then provided to another resident without my consent or knowledge.
I began receiving mail from unknown people to my address, which raised concerns about the safety of my personal information, and when I reached out to the staff for help, they were unresponsive and failed to address the problem. Additionally, I was bombarded with phishing emails and messages during my stay, which suggests that my personal data may have been compromised.
In addition, I encountered multiple instances where I was unaware of when staff entered my apartment, further raising concerns about privacy and trespassing. At one point, I found out that my internet password had been shared with other individuals, and my online activity appeared to be monitored, an alarming invasion of privacy.
The staff has shared my personal information, including details from my leasing documents, with unauthorized individuals and had access to residents' documents when printing from their machines. This is a major violation of privacy laws.
I noticed that some individuals, residents and even staff seemed to be aware of private conversations I had inside my apartment, indicating potential surveillance or eavesdropping without my consent.
During my time at this property, I was stolen from, losing more than $90,000. I suspect that the theft is directly tied to unauthorized access to my apartment, personal information sharing, and possible monitoring of my activities.
One of the most alarming incidents occurred when I was trapped inside an elevator on the day before Christmas. The property management intentionally used the elevator controls to prevent me from exiting, which feels like false imprisonment, which was a distressing experience.
Lastly, some residents neglect to clean up after their dogs, leaving waste scattered around the property.
Between the breaches of privacy, theft, and security concerns, I would strongly recommend avoiding this property and property management at all costs.
Follow-up after over a year of living there:
Individuals from the building have continued to follow me, not only while I was living there, but even now that I no longer reside in the building. They've made it clear that they are associated with the property and have even gone so far as to create fake social media accounts to monitor me online. Living there was undoubtedly the worst decision I've ever made.
Even after moving out, the harassment has not stopped. Individuals linked to the building have continued to follow me, both in person and online. They've created fake accounts to track my activity, have littered outside my residence, and even follow me to public places, including restaurants. When I pass by with my wife, family, or friends, they deliberately gather and cough in unison, mimicking the behavior of an organized gang. Their actions appear coordinated, invasive, and strongly suggest ties to organized criminal activity.
During my trip abroad, I experienced the same pattern of harassment from these individuals. It appears to be part of a coordinated international operation.
This ongoing harassment has only reinforced what I already knew: living at this property was the worst decision I've ever made. For your safety, privacy, and peace of mind, I strongly urge you to stay far away from this property and its management.
