KEN ULMAN - REVOKE THE LICENSE OF YOUR RAT TRAP HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS

HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS AND MARYLAND MANAGEMENT IS THE DISGRACE OF PROFESSIONALLY RUN APARTMENT COMMUNITIES EVERYWHERE AND YOU'RE THEIR CHIEF ENABLER!

NEW COMPLAINTS BY TENANTS AT THE SLUMLORD RUN HARPERS FOREST APARTMENT COMPLEX IN COLUMBIA MARYLAND. CEILINGS CAVED IN FOR MONTHS FROM BUSTED WATER PIPES AND NO RESPONSE FROM MARYLAND MANAGEMENT FOR MONTHS. NEW, OR THE SAME OLD ONES THAT WERE NEVER ADDRESSED, REPORTS OF HEAVY BED BUG INFESTATIONS WHICH PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT AT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORTED HARPERS FOREST APARTMENT COMPLEX IT'S THE SAME OLD SAME OLD. IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL - WHICH MEANS IT'S STILL A SLUM!

FOR THOSE OF YOU HOWARD COUNTY APARTMENT SHOPPERS WHO HAVE BEEN VISITING THIS SITE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND A HALF NOW, YOU KNEW TO NEVER TAKE A CHANCE ON SIGNING A LEASE WITH HARPERS OR ANY PROPERTY MISMANAGED BY MARYLAND MANAGEMENT AND I HOPE YOUR SITTING COMFORTABLY IN YOUR NEW MORE BUSINESS LIKE AND PROFESSIONALLY RUN APARTMENT HOME, WHICH IS ANY APARTMENT COMPLEX IN THE VILLAGE OF HARPERS CHOICE WHICH IS NOT CALLED HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS. BUT YOU NOW KNOW THAT DON'T YOU? THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE READING THIS SITE ALL ALONG KNEW THAT A FORMER MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR ADMITTED TO YOURS TRULY THAT THEY WERE PLUGGING SEWAGE LEAKS WITH DUCT TAPE! NOW I'M ALL FOR EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF THAT VERY VERSATILE PRODUCT WE ALL KNOW AS DUCT TAPE, BUT FOR A PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TO EXPECT TENANTS TO ACCEPT AS THE ONLY BARRIER BETWEEN THEM AND ANOTHER TENANTS RAW SEWAGE TO BE A COUPLE LAYERS OF DUCT TAPE AND ALL THE BACTERIA AND DISEASE THAT GOES WITH IT - I THINK NOT! KEN ULMAN - WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN OFFICE AT LEAST PRETEND YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FELLOW MAN AND REVOKE THIS LICENSE FOR HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS! YOU'RE ALREADY HALF WAY THERE BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT YOUR CONSTITUENTS WANT TO BELIEVE YOU REALLY CARE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BE CONVINCING. THIS IS THE SHAME OF HOWARD COUNTY AND THE SHAME OF YOUR CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION. JUST BECAUSE THE OWNER OF THE HARPERS FOREST SLUMS IS YOUR CAMPAIGN SUPPORTER AND WEALTHY DEMOCRATIC PARTY FUNDRAISER, PHILIP E. RATCLIFFE, IS NOT SUFFICIENT REASON TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK WHILE THESE INCOMPETENT PROPERTY MANAGERS DRAG THE VILLAGE OF HARPERS CHOICE INTO THE GHETTO CONDITIONS AND ALL THE INCREASED CRIME AND LOWER PROPERTY VALUES THAT GO WITH IT!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE TAKEN IN BY THE SMILES AND WELCOME WISHES OF THE ON SITE MANAGEMENT IT WAS AN ERROR IN JUDGMENT, BUT WE'VE ALL MADE THAT MISTAKE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO NOW IS TO GET OUT OF THAT TRAP FILLED LEASE YOU SIGNED OR AT THE VERY LEAST START CHECKING OUT THE OTHER EXCELLENT APARTMENT COMMUNITIES, ONE OF WHICH BORDERS THE HARPERS CHOICE VILLAGE CENTER ABOUT 3/4 OF A MILE AWAY, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHERS AND I DON'T WORK FOR ANY OF THEM. I'M JUST A CONCERNED APARTMENT DWELLER LIKE YOURSELF. STAYING IN HARPERS FOREST IS MUCH LIKE A SLOW DEATH THAT WILL BE THE SOURCE OF YOUR DAILY ANGST TILL YOU GET OUT OF THERE.

IF THERE'S ANY HOWARD COUNTY APARTMENT SHOPPERS CONSIDERING THE RAPIDLY DECLINING HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS, LISTEN TO THE CHORUS OF TENANTS, BOTH CURRENT AND PAST WHO, HAVE BEEN ROYALLY BURNED BY THE MOST INCOMPETENT APARTMENT MANAGEMENT EVER AND ARE GIVING YOU SOME OF THE BEST FREE ADVISE YOU COULD EVER RECEIVE - DO NOT RENT FROM HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS! IT COULD VERY WELL BE THE DARKEST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS WILL NEVER CHANGE SHOPPERS!

IF COMMENTS LIKE THE ONES BELOW WERE BEING POSTED BY TENANTS IN AUGUST OF 2005 WITH LIVING CONDITIONS AND PUBLIC OPINION HAVING ONLY GOTTEN WORSE IN 2009 - LET'S JUST FACE IT APARTMENT SHOPPERS - HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS WILL NEVER CHANGE - FOR THE BETTER!

THE SCURRILOUS OWNERS OF HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS ARE FAILURES AS BUSINESSMEN - BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY'RE FAILURES AS HUMAN BEINGS!

I THINK IT'S HIGH TIME WE MAKE ROOM IN OUR PRISONS FOR CRIMINALS, LIKE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FUNDRAISER AND SLUMLORD OWNER OF HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS PHILIP E. RATCLIFFE, AS WELL AS HIS HOWARD COUNTY GOVERNMENT ENABLERS - KEN ULMAN, MARY KAY SIGATY, DOUGLAS GANSLER AND THE EQUALLY IMPOTENT HOWARD COUNTY HOUSING OFFICE!

UNFORTUNATELY FOR US, HOWARD COUNTY CITIZEN, THOSE WE DEPEND ON TO ENFORCE THE LAW ARE IN BED WITH THOSE WHO ARE BREAKING THE LAW! OUR ONLY LEGAL RECOURSE, FOR HAVING A LEGITIMATE COUNTY GOVERNMENT IN THE SHORT TERM, IS A RECALL OR IMPEACHMENT OF OUR DISGRACEFUL ELECTED OFFICIALS OR A RESOUNDING ELECTORAL DEFEAT ON ELECTION DAY.

AS FAR AS COLUMBIA'S PREMIER GHETTO COMPLEX, HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS, THEY'RE ABOUT TO BITE THE DUST ANYWAY - THANKS TO THE ABUSED TENANTS, LIKE YOU AND ME, WHO INSIST ON TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT THE MOST INEPT AND INCOMPETENT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT EVER TO SET FOOT IN HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND.

HATS OFF TO YOU - ABUSED AND ANGRY TENANTS!

HARPERS FOREST APTS MAY BE WELL ON THEIR WAY .........

TO THE GARBAGE HEAP OF THE WORST HOWARD COUNTY SLUMS OF ALL TIME.....

- AND STILL THEY'RE
DRAGGING THEIR TENANTS THROUGH THE SLIME AND THE MUD!
(LEFT CLICK DOCUMENTS TO ENLARGE)
ANOTHER TENANT SPEAKS OUT -

HAH, DON'T MOVE HERE!! THIS IS THE WORST PLACE EVER!!

Years at this apartment: 2008 - 2009 i lived there for 1 year. i never fully unpacked my stuff cause from the first day i moved in i was ready to leave! i was pregnant when i moved in and it was bad. you call maintenance and they take 4 ever to come!! the leasing office is horrible! they will lie to you in your face and wont fix a problem till you threaten to take them to court.

I'M SURE YOU AGREE RENTERS, THAT WITH APARTMENTS LIKE THIS, EVEN BANKRUPTCY IS TOO GOOD FOR THESE SLUMLORDS! WEALTHY DEMOCRATIC PARTY FUNDRAISER AND OWNER OF HARPERS FOREST, PHILIP E. RATCLIFFE, HAS BEEN GRANTED IMMUNITY FROM INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION BY HIS HOWARD COUNTY ENABLERS,
COUNTY EXECUTIVE KEN ULMAN, MARYLAND STATES ATTORNEY DOUGLAS GANSLER AND COUNTY COUNCILMAN MARY KAY SIGATY. BUT IT IS WE, THE ABUSED TENANTS, WHO ARE BRINGING THE LAWS OF A FREE MARKET PLACE TO BEAR ON THIS DREADFULLY MISMANAGED HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS. IT IS WE THE TENANTS WHO HAVE PAID THE HIGHEST PRICE FOR THE BACKROOM WHEELING AND DEALING BETWEEN OUR HOWARD COUNTY OFFICIALS AND THESE GHETTO MERCHANTS AND IT IS WE THE TENANTS WHO ARE ABANDONING HARPERS FOREST IN DROVES AND WE ARE ENCOURAGING OUR NEIGHBORS TO DO SO AS WELL. NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE AT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS AND IT IS YOU, THE CURRENT AND FORMER TENANTS, WHO HAVE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS DEPLORABLE HARPERS FOREST MANAGEMENT AND IT IS YOU WHO ARE HOLDING THIS ILLEGITIMATE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES, EVEN THOUGH OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE REFUSED TO DO SO. THIS HOWARD COUNTY GOVERNMENT HAS TURNED THEIR BACKS ON THE LARGELY LOWER INCOME AND DISABLED COMMUNITY THAT RENTS AT HARPERS FOREST AND THEY'VE STOOD SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE SLUMLORDS, WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO BE THEIR CAMPAIGN SUPPORTERS, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT THAT ON ELECTION DAY! RIGHT TENANTS?

HOWARD COUNTY APARTMENT SHOPPERS TAKE NOTE - ALL OF THESE VOICES FROM ABUSED AND ANGRY TENANTS, THE DAMNING PHOTOGRAPHS, THE FAILED INSPECTION REPORTS OF DREADFUL MAINTENANCE CONDITIONS, HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE MOST INEPT MANAGEMENT TEAM EVER, DOCUMENTED ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS, MIGHT VERY WELL BE PICTURES OF YOUR HOME AND STORIES OF YOUR HORROR'S IF YOU SIGN A LEASE AT HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS. TAKE IT FROM THOSE WHO KNOW. TAKE IT FROM THESE CURRENT AND FORMER RENTERS WHO HAVE HAD TO LIVE IN THESE CONDITIONS - DO NOT RENT FROM HARPERS FOREST APARTMENTS! IT COULD BE THE WORST HOUSING DECISION YOU'VE EVER MADE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. DON'T SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS HERE. THERE ARE OTHER PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED AND SUPERIOR APARTMENT COMMUNITIES LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED!
