I checked Craigslist Weidner rental rates on a street where my friend just moved out of a Weidner apartment, and I saw the advertised rate was on the order of $150 less than what they had her paying. So while this article quotes Weidner as saying they are looking to retain long term tenants, Weidner does not seem to be adjusting rates if you are not asking. And my friend's base rent was jacked up by ~$300 per month for a long list of incidentals. Weidner moreover did an absolutely terrible job clearing out snow last winter, and only upon having endured a barrage of requests from renters did they finally made arrangements to clear out individual parking slots rather than merely the driving lane. At which time three days' notice were given or cars would be towed; i.e., had you been out of town, you would have come home to a hefty bill to get your car out of impound. And Weidner's having a strong presence in the UAA College of Business is a blight on the local arm of our state university.
