Do NOT move here!!!

This place is clearly the worst apartment I have ever rented. Thank god I only signed a 6 month lease. I am clean and keep my place very clean but nothing I have done including extreme measures can keep the roaches away. They are everywhere. The ownership recently changed and I am suspicious it is due to the lawsuits that have been filed by other tenants against these slumlords. Ignore the spacious floorplans and save yourself the horror of living here. I am not exaggerating one bit.

Renaissance Nightmare

Don't move here!<br>I thought that moving to Woodland Hills, would mean quiet, peace, and upscale! However, I am very disappointed with the empty promises the management and staff made me about this place. I have lived here two months now, and have put in three calls to the police for noise and domestic battery from one of my neighbors. I have also called the building's supposed security patrol at all hours of night to help control the noise coming from my upstairs neighbors. Believe it or not, the person renting above me, is a celebrity who has recording equipment playing all night. I have complained time and time again, but nothing is done. This is just a few of my complaints I have posted for you lucky readers to assess before considering this hellish place.

horrible experience

I don't know where the people who run this place got their training but nothing ever gets done. I think the streets of Cacutta are cleaner than the halls in this place. My family and I have lived her for about six months. It only gets worse and worse. I have had cockroaches crawing on my baby!!!! We only moved here because it was a $99 deposit but we didnt know how bad it was. I recommend if you are reading this you stay away and find someplace else to raise your family.

The Absolute Worst Place You Can Imagine!

I have gotten several fliers about a lawsuit going on or about to go on against this place and I hope they win. This place is the worst place anyone can possibly imagine. You can't call this home. Only hell. Roaches are everywhere. In your food. In your bed. On the toilet. They come from other apartments and from the walls. Did you see that new movie that says "What can be worse than being trapped in a cave with giant bugs? Nothing!" That's this place! Come live here if you love roaches. Look, if times are tough and if you get hungry, you can always make roach stew.

Nice place

I have been at Renaissance for several years and I want to say that I have enjoyed my apartment since day one. The staff has always been very nice and helpful whenever I need anything. I have recommended several of my friends to live here and they are all enjoying their apartments as well. I want to thank the office staff for all of their hard work.

unsanitary

this complex is dirty with roaches and mold.<br>they do nothing to keep it clean except keep the grass soaked at all times. the laundry facilities are discustingly dirty with holes in the ceiling that are dripping dirty water and buckets to catch the water.

Roaches etc.

They lure you in with a $99 deposit. The apartments come freshly painted. The carpets are clean. But beware!!!! Beneath it all is a tenement with slum landlords. Cockroaches are all over the place. The hallways are smelly and flithy. I've lived here three years and it was better then, but now there are gang bangers that hang out in or near the parking lots. The management is nonexistent even though there is an office with "managers" in it. It seems their only job is to take rent. The only reason I'm still here is because they apartments are a little larger than other places and there is rent control, but I am very very tempted to take my losses and move. When you are minding your own business and cockroaches crawl on you, it's a bit much.

ROACHES FROM OUTER SPACE

Recently there has been a campaign to stop the roach invasion. Fliers have apparently been circulated door to door though we only found out through out neighbor. Apparently the management has been taking them away as soon as they are placed by the door.<br><br>I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews. This place is a breeding ground for cockroaches. They are everywhere, no matter how much the management sprays or how much you spray. The place needs to be tented or condemned. Just set down your sandwich for five minutes and roaches are joining the feast! Ugh! It didn't used to be this way.<br><br>By the way, yesterday I caught and killed 32 roaches!

Going downhill

This place has been sold multiple times in the past few years and the end-result has been that is fallign apart. Holes in the walls of the hallways, smells, coachroaches, and a management team that changes at least once a year. It used to be nice, but now is clearly heading towards slumsville. On top of that, one of the streets of the complex, Nevada, is a target for car thieves as it is poorly lighted.<br><br>Stay away from this place.

Not what its cracked up to be...

The tennis court blinds have been gone for a year, and the noise in that corridor when people are playing would wake the dead! Don't trust that pleasant smell when they show you your prospective apartment, The mold stench will surface in a few days.

NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY

I lived here for almost 3 years now and it has been awful. Management has changed 3 times since I have been here. The only reason I am still here is because the apt's are fairly large in size. Management won't fix anything. You can put in 3 work orders with AJ & nothing gets done. They are short staffed for such a large complex only having 3 maintance workers. I highly recommend not living here.

This is not an apartment, it is a roach motel!

Oh, My God! I have never seen so many roaches in my life. Kill one and another one pops up. It's like Night of the Living Dead only with bugs! It doesn't matter how many times you clean or how much you spray. These are the roaches that will survive nuclear blasts and they are all at the Renaissance! Somebody help!

broken keyholes, burned out lights, smelly hallways

It seems lke the locks for the hallway doors are always being broken. It took months once for management to fix a blinking light, and the smell in some of the hallways makes you nauseous.

MOVE

I have lived in this complex for almost 3 years. I am on my 2nd management company. MAS is the WORST company. The first one seemed pretty good. However, this new staff lets ANYBODY into the complex. The place was nice and now is an embarassment. Lights are always burned out, gate locks do not work, and I have seen countless "gang bangers" in there. I have a pretty good deal on my rent, but I will definately be leaving the place within a few months.

ROACHES!!!!

I have lived here for about 6 months and am BLESSED to have only signed a 6 month lease. I will be moving out ASAP. The ROACHES are horrible. I spray daily and have the apt. management spray often as well YET I still kill AT LEAST (sometimes MUCH MUCH MORE) 7 cockroaches a day in my kitchen. NASTY! The size of the apt is great, but DEFINATELY NOT WORTH THE DIRTINESS. Mgmt is unresponsive as well.

Great Place to Live and Enjoy.

I have been staying here for last few months only, but i have realized that this is an amazing place.<br><br>Houses are well maintained and absolutely clean. No smell, no mosquitoes or roaches. <br><br>AC is the best i have seen in last couple of years. There is even no dearth of hot water.<br><br>Swimming pool is well cleaned and spacious. Jaccuzi is the best part as there is a bar-be-q adjacent to it.<br><br>Manager AJ, Hugo, Vickey and others have been of great help to us in all possible ways.<br><br>We are surely enjoying staying here. Not only us, but our other friends also.<br><br>This is surely the best apartment homes in this area. Specially its close proximity to Macy's, Sear's, Best Buy, Fry's, Walmart, AMC etc...

This place SUCKS

I moved in in June 04, I have had leaks every month and the management is non responsive. You can call the numbers, and maybe even talk to someone, but that does not mean they are going to do anything about your request. I have even been told countless times that I never called. The roaches are the worst. They are everywhere. <br>At christmas my place flooded bad and they let my furniture sit in the water three weeks beofre moving it to another unit (they put us in the model, the model with no tv, no cable no hot water...) I have had to go stay somewhere else for days at a time on three seperate occassions and not once did they even offer me a days rent to cover the expence or inconvienence. The comments are "the lease says you need renters insurance so we are not responsible" RENTERS BEWARE" they will take your money, but they will provide no service. Mulitple management changes, no parking, other than the pool and gym, this place sucks.

HELL ON EARTH

I've relocated here from midwest. this apartment is small for the price. For the amount I pay here while lliving in chicago, the space was muchhhhhh larger. there are certainly a large amount of knats, and bugs in the buildings. Maintenance don't seems to care much about fixing things. You have to practically threaten a suit to get something done here. The parking sucks pretty much, so close together, can't help but hit someones elses car. MAINTENEANCE IA LAZY AS HELL. They have been countless management changes. If you like living with senior citizen's, then this is the place for you, other wise, there isn't a lot for younger kids to do. It's pretty safe right now, but who's to say what it will be like later on. Overall, this was a last resort for me, because of the price.

If you want attitude and to pay a lot in rent come here

The management company here has gone through countless turnovers. They are unresponsive and unless you make a federal case out of something that needs to be fixed, they don't care. They make me and other neighbors I've talked to feel like an inconvenience to them. The rents are very high for the apartment amenities that you get. Its a great location, but for the price I wish I would have shopped around more. Plus, suddenly there is a roach problem. Pretty gross. The parking is so close together, my car gets dinged all the time.
