AWFUL DON"T DO IT

AWFUL SERVICE. We paid the application fee, were told there are one bedrooms available, paid the deposit ALL WITHIN ONE DAY, and then were told that there aren't anymore available. They aren't refunding our money, nor are they giving us any other options. $250 down the drain. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM.

    Great apartments and workers

    I was searching for an apartment in athens for school and was highly impressed by Redlands apartments. The facility is clean and accommodating as well as has many great features. The lady Amelia was a great help in explaining everything to me and made the transition so easy so I recommend asking for her when you go! Overall a great experience with Amelia and she really helped a lot and is very professional!!

      This complex claims to be ā€˜student-livingā€™. That is a lie. I they paired me with a 55 year old man...the qualifications to live here are an absolute joke. 10,000 annual income and a 500 credit score. Sickening. Do not live here if you are concerned for your safety. Cops have to drive through here every night because of suspicious activity. Bugs are INSANE here, they claim to pest control services. However, I have the pest control here once.

        I really enjoy living at the Redlands because of its community and its transportation services to and from campus. The front office staff is very helpful specifically speaking I love Stephanie, Briceyda, and Bethany who are always greeting me with a smile. I would honestly recommend this apartment complex to anyone who is looking for a safe and quiet apartment complex.

          Mon, Oct 15, 2018, 11:48 AM Hello Residents, In addition to giving our pool deck some TLC, we will also be completing some pavement work around the property parking lots. This project will take place on our property October 16th through October 19th. Please make note of the project schedule below, as it will explain the designated dates of service for each property parking area. October 16th- Buildings 3, 8, and 9 October 17th -Buildings 2 and 7 October 18th- Buildings 4 and 5 October 18th- Building 6 Please park only in the available areas for each project day. Be advised that, Barett's Towing will be on standby for cars parked in forbidden designated areas. This will require a little, yet much appreciated patience and cooperation from you guys. Also, be on the lookout a little later today for an update on pest control information as well! Thanks, The Redland Team Less than 24 hours later: Towed many many cars without enough notice. Residents were freaking out the next morning when they could not find their cars. Horrible business practices. Do not rent here.

            If you are planning on moving your student daughter or son here....DON'T!!! This place is just leagalized robbery. After moving my daughter out, they charge her and her room mates hundreds of dollars for stuff that wasn't correct when we moved in. My daughters window leaked inside the entire time she lived there. She had to constantly change out towels in her window. For over the first month, they had to turn the shower on with a pair of pliers. Their washer leaked on a Saturday and luckily they knew how to turn off the water but no one came to fix it until Monday. HEED THIS WARNING!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THESE APARTMENTS!!

              If you have never headed advice from a google review I strongly suggest you start with this one. This apartment complex is an absolute disaster and moving into it is a mistake. There's so many things it's hard to pick where to begin. When we moved in, our apartment was disgusting. It looked like it hadn't seen a duster and mop since it was built. Shortly after living there, I woke up with a cockroach in my hair and seeing cockroaches in my living space became a regular thing. When it all started going really down hill however was when the the current leasing office took over. These are some of the most worthless and rude people around. They took over and I kid you not they treat you like actual peasants. I would get anxiety if I had to go up there for something because when you walk in they just stare at you like how dare you bother them even those it's literally their job? The girls up there are so rude and I don't know who put them on a high horse to think they can treat their residents like that. They do "inspections" so many timesā€¦Ā See More>

                Charged me over $5000 and I never moved in due to breaking my wrist. These people are crooks who hide behind the fact that they "changed companies" and cannot find my paperwork after I was hired as a leasing agent and then had to had surgery from a previous wrist fall and could not move in. I was told not to worry about it and I had nothing to worry about since I never signed a lease. An electronic one was fraudulently provided from what I am told and I am still fighting this from 2017. It is now August of 2019! 2 years! Stay AWAY!

                    This is a horrible place to live bugs, amenities, appliances never work and when you call maintenance it is never fixed in a timely manner or to the standards that are required. Just moved my son out and that's one lease we could not wait to be finished with. Also be careful when moving out they end up charging you for services they really should not be such as maid service and shampoo the carpet. This apartment was a mess when we moved in and much cleaner when we moved out. What a scam! These fees are not disclosed at time of move out. You get a bill later so be aware ... Run from this place

                      I am a parent of a student that just moved out. Pay attention to the recent reviews of moving out. The insect infestations and apartment conditions during move in are true. The apartment was not in anywhere close to clean condition upon move in. If you move in make sure you document everything that is broken or missing, holes in wall etc in addition to cleanliness If it is not perfectly clean have them clean or write it up. It will reduce your liability upon moving out. The move out issues seem to be caused by new management trying to shift maintenance cost to students upon move out. I got the bill after move out aprox 30 days after my son moved out for 230$, the other tenant was billed 290$. I tried to discuss with mgmt that in the Peak lease (previous to this new company) it says that unit must be inspected within 3 days and within 5 days tenant has the right to see that inspection and agree or not with it. This also helps certify that the inspection was actually done within 3 days. It also give the tenant to remedy some claims of subjective thingsā€¦Ā See More>

                        Absolutely the most disgusting property I've ever entered. Upon entering the residence after being given the wrong keys twice and being let in by a worker I immediately noticed dirt, dust, paint chips, and most importantly a wide variety of living and dead insects littering the ground. Opening the utilities closet released a swarm of other insects like a cartoon. All of the carpets are frayed at the edges and very discolored. The walls are swarming with bugs. The ceiling is covered in dust bunnies. There was zero effort made to prepare the property for the move in date that the COMPANY specified. This is absolutely unacceptable. The model unit was very clean and livable and, as that is the only unit available for prospective tennants to view, the other properties should be held to that standard. Also, the management staff was completely and utterly unhelpful in every shape and form. I had to go back to the lobby 5 separate times because the key would not work for the lock. This was in between trips of informing management of the various listed problems and being given responses of "we're working on it" each time with no actual progress orā€¦Ā See More>

                          Rent is way too expensive for what you get. I've experienced a horrible roach infestation in my kitchen and bathroom, and requesting pest control to come out and take care of it essentially did nothing. I have spent more money in my own pest control stuff than I should have had to. The units are pretty poorly maintained, especially in terms of the carpet. The carpet is worn so thin and is so gross that it needs to be replaced ASAP. Kitchens and bathroom to be recaulked at the very least. There are huge gaps between the countertops/cabinets and the walls in some places, and I think that might be where bugs hide out. No matter how clean you keep your apartment, you're left with it still feeling dirty and dingy. Location is pretty close to east campus, which is a plus. However, if you are an older student/grad student/someone who works and goes to school full time and you want to make this your actual home, I'd stay far away.

                            Unit was shoddy. Unexplained large utility charges often added to account. Service charges added for online rent payments. Cleaning fee added after unit was thoroughly cleaned prior to move-out and after account was paid in full when lease ended. No notification to guarantors of added fees. Would not recommend this apartment complex.

                              I put in a maintenance request over a week ago for our dryer that won't even turn on. I was trying to be patient, but guess what, I need to do laundry! So I went into the leasing office to remind them of my issue and the guy working straight up told me that our dryer wasn't an important issue... He said "there are residents without A/C and people that have standing water in their tubs". I agree that those are more important issues, but how have those problems not been resolved in over a week? I pay way too much money to have someone tell me that my problem isn't important. When you advertise that washer/dryer units are installed in each apartment, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your residents are getting what they pay for.

                                I am a parent who moved their student in this weekend. The apartment was filthy when we arrived. There were blinds missing in the living room and in one bedroom. Standing outside looking at the building, you could see that all of the other apartments had blinds in all windows. When the office was notified, I was told by the staff that the "blinds were on backorder and as soon as they came in we will hang them". NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!! I'm sure the female employee I spoke with would not have wanted to sleep in a bedroom with no blind on the window!!! That's just the beginning. The first night there was no air conditioning!!!! Was told by the property manager that nothing could be done that night because there was no maintenance person on duty. No air conditioning in August in the south is not pleasant. The apartment had been painted but was done with a paint sprayer. I don't think the painters moved anything when painting and I question if they even covered the floor. I spent 3 hours mopping floors in an apartment withā€¦Ā See More>

                                  DO NOT LIVE HERE. Honestly this place is the worst. Usually I would not take my time to write a review but this place sucks so bad. I hated every minute of it. The internet was great at first and they advertised it as it was great and fast but as soon as spring semester started it became so slow and it would cut off. The cut off the water so many times as well. The furniture is cheap and crap. The front office people are nice and that how they get to you. The front and the outside looks nice but once you go in through the gate, it is complete trash. There is mud everywhere when it rains and they dont bother to clean it up. I dont know why they are charging so much for this piece of crap.

                                    It's a terrible place to live in. There are bugs everywhere and no matter how many times you bring an exterminator in they still managed to stay. There is always something broken - I sat on one of the dining room chairs and one of the legs fell off (and I'm not a heavy person). You can ask to get it fixed but it'll break the next time you sit on it. The furniture is subpar and it's always dusty. Maintenance decides when they want to come fix your things. I'm currently sleeping in an +80Ā°F room bc maintenance did not come to fix the air conditioning after calling them twice about it, and this is considered emergency maintenance. A few of the clubhouse staff members aren't very nice. DO NOT LIVE HERE.

Apartments are very dirty and not anywhere close to the model they show you. If you are looking to live here RUN. You can find a cardboard box under a bridge me pleasing....

The apt my daughter and her roommate got was disgusting and obviously barely cleaned before they moved in. They are on the 3rd floor, the ceiling was covered in dust and no way to clean as it's vaulted. HVAC filter looked like a hairy beast and obviously had not been replaced in a very long time. The ceiling in my daughter's room looks like it's about to fall in from water damage. The vinyl living room furniture was clawed to death by a cat. Only drawer in kitchen was broken beyond use. Windows are old and drafty. Water from tap smells awful and tastes funny. Conservice bill is never enough to cover electric, first month it was $200 over! Maintenance crew comes and goes as they please and they are obviously going in the girls bedrooms (note left on bed that they were they, but had no business in their bedrooms). Pool is always yucky and green, events are planned for residents and always cancelled.ā€¦Ā See More>

                                          The online rent service didn't work for me, so I had to call several times to see if they could fix it. The staff was not helpful and simply directed me to pay rent with a check. This is a huge hassle for me considering I don't even have a checkbook. I'm annoyed that I can't pay rent online because of an issue on their behalf.

                                            I haven't personally lived here, but I did call here for information on 4/22 for an appartment for me and my friend. We immediately decided this wasn't the place for us. Whoever was working the phones on 4/22 should be given a seminar on proper customer service. The lady who talked to me was extremely rude, unprofessional, and she even laughed, straight up laughed, at some of my questions. This was my first experience with a leasing agent and it was not a pleasant one. The Redlands is not getting any of my, my friends, or my parents money when they have such horrible and rude staff working there. She couldn't even answer my basic questions! Also, she mentioned that rent would be cheap, but then randomly jump up because or appliances that we wouldn't even want or need. That's very sketchy and your website is essentially false advertising. Students beware: be prepared to pay and extra 100 on your proposed rent price. Reevaluate your hiring process and be honest with your customers, you lost out on some serious money today.

                                              The Redland looks like a great place to live, at first you think man it looks ok and it's location is great. (Location is good) But you soon realize what terrible decision you have made. I have lived in various other apartment complexes, this one by far was the worst. The management on various occasions made my roommates and I leave our apartment just to give other people a tour of our place. I mean really can they not just have an example location? We also kept our place really nice and clean (reason why our place was used for tours) and yet we had roach problems. We told management and they sent some one to "take care of it" but it is just now getting better. That means it has taken them over a year with multiple complaints to fix a bad roach problem. Do yourself a favor DO NOT LIVE HERE!

However, it is necessary that we perform a minimum of quarterly apartment assessments to ensure upkeep of our apartment homes and to address any pending items. I am sorry if these assessment visits has caused inconvenience to you and your roommates. I am happy to hear your other concerns are improving. I want to remind you that our management team is here to assist you so please feel free to contact our leasing office directly to expedite any future concerns.

                                                I have lived here for 3 1/2 years now and have seen such a dramatic improvement under the new ownership. The office staff is super friendly and knows me by name. All the amenities and my apartment have been updated. The bus runs every 15 minutes which is super convenient in comparison to the ones that run every hour. I have even had chickfila and hot coffee waiting on me at the bus stop in the morning! Highly recommended!! Super affordable and pet friendly!

                                                  The staff doesn't seem to care for the residents or property. Numerous times I have seen wild animals walking around on the property, most times it is a pig. This animal is strictly not allowed as a pet according to their rules but the staff does not seem to care. I tried speaking with a staff member to sublease and he made an offer to accept $150 cash and not report the sublease so I could avoid the $250 sublease fee. Given the chance I'd choose to live somewhere else.

                                                    Thank you for your review. All pets should be registered through the office and we do our best to monitor and address any unregistered pets. We will look into the wild animal that you mentioned in your post and address accordingly as we deem necessary. Unfortunately we do not allow subleases at our property. If you would like to relet your apartment to someone else please contact the office and we will be happy to assist you.
