Following years of advocacy from tenant association Georgetowne Tenants United (GTU), property management company Beacon Communities has agreed to hire a contractor to survey 100% of Georgetowne apartments and address major issues after they are detected. This is a huge win for GTU, which has been urging the property management company to treat water leaks and mold as widespread, systemic issues for years.

Already, several Georgetowne tenants have reported that their units have been inspected and that Beacon has successfully addressed longtime infrastructure and mold issues. Check out these before and after photos from one Georgetowne tenant. Prior to the most recent renovations, this tenant experienced frequent floods (~1 per year) and had to run fans all day and night to prevent persistent moisture from forming mold and triggering her allergies. 

We look forward to sharing more stories like this one in the months ahead!
