The assistant manager that came to inspect it said it was very very clean, he was impressed. They don't charge deposits, there were upfront fees to keep them from having to deal with deposit refunds. He said no worries, he had actually never seen a student's apartment as clean as that. Glad I recorded that conversation on my 0cell phone. They, WITHOUT contacting us sent a bill to a collection agency!!!!! We are not rolling over on this. I hope they enjoy being taken to small claims court and being reported to the Better Business Bureau. We are soooooooo mad. DO NOT rent from these sheisters!!! You will be sorry. Live somewhere else and check reviews. We had checked reviews and saw they were guilty of this, but I knew we'd leave it clean, and we are fortunate to have attorneys in the family! Furthermore, what kind of collections agency does not require proof that companies have or have not tried to collect bogus fees? We ought to sue them for that also.

Alex Fenzi is beyond avaricious and repulsive, overtly flaunting his wealth within the complex with his assortment of flashy and loud vehicles, meanwhile consistently neglecting his responsibilities as a landlord. There have been instances in which they neglect to inform future tenants of major issues within proposed units, including not only pest infestations but also neglected, substandard A/C units and water heaters that lead to higher utility costs for which the residents are completely responsible and receive no form of compensation for. It is mandatory, through the terms of their lease, that every tenant is allowed cable/internet services through Charter Spectrum alone--leading to incessantly slow internet speed and frequent outages spanning the entire premises. Although they have cameras monitoring certain areas within the complex, they refuse to utilize them when made aware of instances of money stolen and damaged property on premises. Parking is a nightmare with various three bedroom units only having two spots, forcing people to park in the street or on the grass. When one of my two roommates moved out with no notice whatsoever and in doing so severed the terms of the lease she signed, Fenzi did not hold her accountable in the slightest. We were told we must cover her portion of the rent in addition to our own or we would all face a lawsuit; all this occurred just one day prior to the deadline for next months rent. Additionally, they claimed to have found damages to the carpet in her room and held us responsible for that cost as well; they later rescinded this fee when we refused to pay by citing the third tenant as solely responsible for damages confined to her room. Then they made it out to seem like they were doing us a favor. Rent from somewhere else and save yourself the inevitable headache.

Very scandalous apartment! Be prepared for ridiculous charges once you return your unit! When I first moved in the unit was vacant for months and there was dust as well as dead bugs everywhere. Fast forward one year later they sent me a *bill* for extra cleaning fee on top of the $300 deposit. After a conversation with Tommy it obviously went no where because, well..... *new management* and there's "nothing" he can do to rectify the problem. When I asked if I'll be receiving a receipt for the cleaning services, he stated they have a cleaning lady on staff.... Hmmmm so you could charge whatever for this supposedly cleaning fee?? Makes so much sense. Anyways I ended up losing my $300 deposit as well as paying an extra $205 for "damages". Listen to these reviews about them ripping people off upon moving out! It is ALL TRUE. Avoid this apartment complex at ALL cost!

Choosing "The Waters" in Hammond was a decision that gave us so many great memories. Searching for…read morea new apartment in Hammond was somewhat complex since we were moving from Chicago, but the staff really made it a positive experience from start to finish. While we are sad to leave as we begin our next chapter in life, if you are looking for an apartment community that truly has it all, look no further. First, the staff is outstanding. Working with Rebecca Elliott in leasing and Chris Magboo in management has been a fantastic experience. After three years living here, I can honestly say they have always been approachable, responsive, and genuinely cared about the residents. It is rare to find a team that is so consistently helpful. The community itself is beautiful, clean, and exceptionally well maintained. The grounds and common areas are always kept in great condition, and the maintenance staff pays attention to even the smallest details. Those little things really make a difference and create an enjoyable place to come home to every day. I especially loved living on the third floor because of the high ceilings, which made the apartment feel even more spacious. Our two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment was much larger than we expected and included two walk-in closets, a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a private balcony, and plenty of storage throughout. It was a comfortable place to call home. "The Waters" also hosts many community events throughout the year, which really adds to the living experience and helps create a sense of community. While I personally did not use the pool, fitness center, or clubhouse very often, they are all beautiful amenities and other residents consistently speak highly of them. It is also a huge bonus to have one of the best gyms in the Hammond area located directly across the street, offering even more wellness amenities. Overall, I am truly sad to be leaving "The Waters," but I am excited for the next residents who will call our apartment home. It was a wonderful place to live, and it gave us so many memories that we will always look back on with appreciation.

Communication with the front office was unreliable. Calls were rarely answered and staff were rude and dismissive. In the office, the staff was nowhere to be found on multiple occasions while the phones rang. Since moving out in July, I've been told four times that my security deposit check was being resent, but three months later, I still haven't received it. My daily calls, emails and voicemails to both the property and corporate office have gone unanswered, and the handful times someone did answer, I was brushed off without a clear explanation or resolution. The complete lack of accountability and communication is unacceptable. At this point, it feels like I'm being ignored and scammed out of my deposit. I would not recommend living here, read the other reviews and think twice. The unprofessionalism both at Waypoint and the Axela Group as a whole is overwhelming and extremely frustrating.

My name is Lynn, and I signed a lease for property at 14216 Woodlands drive #94 in Hammond La., on…read moreOctober 21st managed by the property management company Rent Louisiana LLC and owned by Christopher Pugh a pharmacist in Ponchatoula Louisiana. Despite renting me a unit that had buckled floors from dog urine, they told me it was from flooding, but a neighbor confirmed that it hadn't flooded there in the 25 years she had been living there and that the prior occupant had dogs. On the 27th when I went to move in, I found a dirty unknown white powdery substance, a paper bowl and what appeared to be a rather large rat dropping with a hair attached on the top of the refrigerator. I have attached pictures to verify this along with all of my other findings. I then opened up the kitchen drawers only to find a significant amount of rat feces. There was also dog medication, and other medicines left in the kitchen cabinets confirming what the neighbor said about the prior owner having dogs. There were other areas with dog hair and the toilet hadn't been cleaned and had human hair under the lid. I was so disheartened that I reached out to two of my close friends. One owns rental properties, and the other attended law school in Oklahoma. I showed them the pictures, and my friend with the rental properties said he would never rent one of his townhomes out in such a condition because it could make him legally liable and that being retried military, he took a sense of pride in his property and being a man of faith, had no desire to be known as a slumlord, or to pay a shady management company to keep his name anonymous if he were. My law school friend said there's a reasonable person standard as well as an industry standard, and that it isn't unreasonable for a new tenant to expect the property to be cleaned and ready to move in, just like it's not unreasonable to expect your hamburger at McDonalds or Burger King not to have hair underneath the bun. I requested to have my lease canceled and my first months rent of 1150 and deposit of the same amount returned. Emily with Rent Louisiana said the owner was wiling to cancel the lease and return my first months rent but would retain my deposit of 1150 due to other qualified applicants being turned away. I am a single mother and nurse who works 12 hour shifts in a stressful environment. I am selling my home and seeking to move to Hammond to be close to my daughter who is in nursing school there and now I have to look for another place to rent because my house is already sold and I have yet to receive even the first months rent that Emily said would be returned much less my deposit of 1150. I am now out 2300 dollars for a unit I was in only twice in 7 days and had everything out on the 8th day and the key returned per Emily's instructions. How can a company and an owner operate in such egregious ways? Would you want your daughter or mother to move into a place that clearly isn't clean and could pose a health risk due to rat feces and urine in the places where food and utensils are stored? Please see the attached pictures. Fortunately I have friends who are lawyers and other friends who own rental properties and operate in a much more honorable way. They will be helping me purse legal action as well as contacting the health department to report violations of Louisiana codes. I hope this review will help those who are considering renting from Rent Louisiana or Christopher Pugh.
