It's ok..... 1. My roomates and i had moldy toilets to where you had to have some bleach product in the toilet/clean all the time for it to not show. When moving out we got charged for "dirty" bathrooms but had moldy toilets all year. My roomate has tried contacting them multiple times about the charges after move out and nothing.. 2. Maintance will just walk in 3. We got couches that were peeled so by the end of the year they were just ugly 4. More concerned about new residents than ones that have been there. What made us not resign was the bad communication with the people at the front, we were in a 4/4 apartment and were looking to move to a cottage the next year. For weeks they were giving us each miss information. Telling each one of us a different story of what was available and what wasn't. read more

Rundown. Tours a very nice clean house then rents you a dirty, rundown place. We left with my daughter. Didn't even unpack. Front of complex looks nice until you drive to the rear. Will be terminating lease and obtaining attorney if needed. Total misrepresentation of what you are renting. House had holes in wall, filthy carpet, and unsafe balcony. Not maintained at all. Front office had all excuses . Fact is there is zero maintenance and absolute false advertising of rental conditions. read more

There has been multiple shootings here, secuirty is just one person that does not care, the ultilities company has no idea what they are doing, the maintenance team is lazy and does fix anything, the apartments are trashy and disgusting. If you are looking for cheap college living look at the opposite side of Tallahassee, youll pay the same money for WAY higher quality, higher security, and less roomates. PS THEY WILL SCAM YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY by charging you for things that you should not be charged for hoping you just dont ask questions and pay, dealt with it monthly. read more

This place is such a scam!!! My son lived here for two years and nothing was wrong with his room and they are charging all sorts of fees because it wasn't as clean as they wanted!!! It was normal wear and tear, no holes, no black mold. The carpet was 100 years old when he moved in and he did nothing to it but they say it wasn't vacuumed (which it was)! The hey hit us with $500 in cleaning fees for one room!!! Don't live here!!! And multiple shootings in this complex!!! You responded back saying that you want to talk, but you won't let me contact you and you won't return any of my emails or voicemails. You just want to look better in review reviews.!!! I would love to talk!! read more

Do not live here. All the good reviews were from a previous management company that used to run the property before Scion group. Since then, there has been multiple safety concerns. The houses are not being cared for. Maintenance does their best, but obviously has to follow company rules which means a lot of things get temporarily fixed and not long-term. There have been multiple shootings, the pool is constantly closed, the landscaping can get rather long in between sessions, which affects pets. The trash overflows weekly and is left on the steps of the trash, shoot piling over. They only have one trash bin for the entire property. Most of the houses have mold or bug problems. Specifically my unit was told that our issue (termites coming out of our vents) wasn't severe enough to have it fixed. There's unreasonable fees like a balcony fee, especially when you cannot pick your room. There is mold. The houses do not get cleaned in between tenants. When I moved in my room was filthy and had things that were left behind from the previous tenants. But when I moved out, I received $500 worth of fees for cleaning and painting. The electricity charges are ridiculous, considering that my bedroom wouldn't even cool despite multiple maintenance requests and management coming to my bedroom. When the temperature was cool, I was able to open my window to allow for some air to come in (but if not, my room would average 80°). There's a lot I can say on this property as I lived here for 3 years. But there's simply not enough time. Too much has happened in this property for them to constantly refuse to change things. read more

I highly recommend you do not rent here. My daughter lived there for two years and they refused to make maintenance repairs that impacted their safety. Our lease just ended, and now they are charging for tons of minor cleaning fees, such as carpet, refrigerator, and ceiling fans. Would they actually rent to another tenant without cleaning these items. Why would they charge us for normal wear and tear. I see a major class action suit in the future against this company. Very very poorly managed and unsafe complex. They have serious security issues that turn into large unruly crowds and incidents of gunfire. Beware! read more

do not rent from here. they do not maintain the property and then they charge an outrageous fee at move out. they want 500 for what they call minor cleaning. she lived in a 4 room unit the other tenants moved out early and they billed my daughter for the everything. she had made calls to management about issues and damage caused when they moved out, but they disregarded her calls and are now trying to charge her for everything. PLEASE RENT ELSEWHERE read more

Here's an update to my review and to the individual "saddened by my experience , Stating I've been in touch with the manager"... Megan the manager did call me back AFTER I called 7x within 1 hour and said I would not stop until she called me . I stayed on hold and insisted she come to the phone .. that is the ONLY way I got her on the phone. Please do not reply to my comment as though this has been remedied . No we had to break my son's lease and pay for extra expenses for the unexpected move corporate refuses to call me( I've left 4 messages and just have case numbers from a call center ) . As of 9/12 still no ac, found out the bugs were the extremely poisonous puss caterpillars as explained by Mtc. When they touch you the sting is similar to a stingray "Megan after our one 5 min call in an entire month insisted she would call me to tell me a pest control treatment plan because she has never seen anything like this before" that call never came from her instead She had her coworker call me the following day to say the exterior was sprayed and pressure washed but the bugs came back like we knew they would and it is a dangerous situation. This can only be fixed with a weekly treatment plan Again still waiting for a callback from corporate if you would like to facilitate that it would be greatly appreciated! read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE! I moved my daughter in here a year ago and the place was absolutely filthy and disgusting! Dust on walls, AC vents all full of black soot and mold, maggots in fridge as well as roaches! The walls and carpet were also black and stained up! Trash and food was left inside the apartment from previously lived in renters. The apartment was never cleaned prior to move in! I had to personally come to her apt and do a full clean myself and haul out all of the trash myself. The furniture package that they make you pay for was stained and ripped up , full of dust and her room had a really old mattress. The split bill for electricity water etc will be overcharged monthly as I called the city and was a way cheaper amount given! Robbing Students Blind!! I took and saved pictures and also sent this to management complaining in addition, I uploaded pics in the resident portal. Upon move out these people had the audacity to try and bill me for clean up to the apartment to a tune of $512.00! LMAO , ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CRAZY ?!?! How about you pay me for my cleaning services before move in and after! GFY! The place was left clean and in 1000 % better condition then received! SAVE YOURSELF the time and headache... move elsewhere! GOOD RIDDANCE TRASHY MANAGEMENT and APARTMENT! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Be prepared to be charged for things that you didn't do as well as while being away for summer break having your things STOLEN. They have roaches everywhere and will not clean or replace anything when you move out. This is the worst place I have lived in while being in Tallahassee and that's saying something. read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!! My AC was broken for the first 3 weeks after move in and was on and off all the way until I moved out. After move out I was hit with almost 300 dollars in charges for a couple smudge marks a small wall anchor hole and a couple paint spots where I had command strips. I have never been charged anywhere else for similar things. Was charged for breaking a screen when I never touched it also after a tornado and strong storms. The management will take advantage of you if you do not document everything during move in TAKE TIMESTAMPED PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING!!! read more

money hungry company don't live here!!!! Maintenance will only fix things if you flag them down and have them come in right then. Often waited weeks to have them even come out to look at something. Our fridge was broken the entire year and the only thing they offered was to turn our fridge colder which caused ice in our fridge and the groceries inside to come out icy or frozen and sometimes unusable. Our AC was broken for 2-3 weeks during the summer and they never came to fix it. Many houses were unclean and unsafe when we moved in (mold, severely water damaged ceilings, generally unclean, etc.). Upon moving out they have charged me $188 to repaint my room, the downstairs, and to replace something my roommate has told them on numerous occasions was her doing (that they still haven't fixed). The charges were added to my account with no email or text notification. The people who work in the office are just fellow students so this is not their fault, the management needs to seriously change. Until then do not move here. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU RENT AT REDPOINT WEST TENN I usually try to add something good in my reviews before I talk about the bad but the only good thing I can say about this apartment was its proximity to FSU campus and its proximity to shopping....THATS IT! My daughter lived in a 2x2 for 2 years. Her specific unit was in constant disrepair. Her first year wasn't terrible. It was typical maintenance stuff. However at the start of her 2nd year it was something out of a nightmare!! Not only was there SERIOUS mold issues but a roach infestation that was never really resolved. The mold issue was in her roommate's room and the roommate was moved out during the mold remediation. My daughter was told her room was fine so they wouldn't move her. She dealt with headaches and illness for the rest of her year. The roaches were apparently coming from the apartment above her. They had to replace the refrigerator due to a nest that just appeared somewhere around the fridge. Management promised to have pest control come in monthly and they maybe came in one time. My daughter was constantly cleaning and killing roaches. It was hard to even keep food in the apartment. My daughter moved out in May (Thank the Lord) and by June the roommate was AGAIN being moved to a different unit due to the roaches. Management did nothing for my daughter!! I complained that there were what seemed to be mold in my daughter's bathroom and rotten trim around the tub but they will probably slap some paint on it and move in the next unsuspecting college student. Management at Redpoint or at Scion Group...they don't care! They don't return calls. They just want your money! Don't rent here!! Try not to rent from Scion Group! read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE Living here was one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life. All they care about is your money and getting you to resign. (They will still call/email you even after you told them your living elsewhere next year) My unit was not cleaned one bit upon moving in. The previous tenant had a dog and there was hair EVERYWHERE!! There was even leftover dog food under the sink. My stovetop was falling apart, and the couch cousins were so dirty! They literally did not even try to clean the place before I moved in. The maintenance staff will enter your apartment whenever they feel like it. One day, without any prior notice, I got home from work to them IN MY APARTMENT painting the staircase and walls. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!! DO NOT LIVE HERE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!! PS - I have never submitted a Yelp review but this place is so terrible I had to! read more

daughter moved in 6 days ago- everyday she has been up at the front office pleading for assistance. she moved into an apartment that has an infestation of roaches- not one here or there - too many to count! she is beyond emotionally, physically and traumatized by this situation. manager, front office help is NO help- but I am sure if they were living in this situation it would be different circumstances. her fridge is infested, her couches are torn. she has not been able to unpack or purchase food- which is becoming costly. school starts tomorrow and still not one answer! read more

do not let your children live in this shit hole. office is ran by children and corporate will never get back to you to address any issues. everything is broken, apartments are full of mold, pool is filthy if open, etc. read more

I've emailed twice, called three times on different days and trying to get the front office to do something is horrendous! On top of that i haven't even moved in yet... My lease said i would be paying 734 and now yesterday i had to pay 759!!! It's crazy. I kept calling and they told me they would call me back or fix it. NOPE!!! So upsetting. read more

I've never had a more negative experience with an apartment complex, EVER. They essentially stole hundreds of dollars of money because they charged my roommates and I EACH almost $300 for "damage charges" AFTER we moved out yet refused to give us an itemized receipt of what exactly we were paying for. They also do not have a manager, the whole staff is a bunch of college students that do not have the ability to actually help you with any issues you may have. Whenever I called the front office to express any concerns I had, all they would say is "I'm sorry, email the front office" and then when I did, they would not respond to the email, basically ignoring every concern that a resident may have. I've lived here for 2 years and moved to a different unit my second year, and BOTH units I lived in had bug infestations when I moved in that were not caused by me. Not to mention how they falsely advertise how they are going to "clean" the units prior to move-in, yet when I moved in both times, my apartments were disgustingly dirty, as well as the bug problem. Another thing is after only living there for about the first month, they tell you you have to resign or they are going to give your apartment to someone else, which is way too early in the year to make that decision in my opinion. The amount of broken appliances my roommates and I had when we first moved in also is insane, and then maintenance won't come and fix them for over a month. They also do not respect your privacy, random front office workers, as well as maintenance, will come barging in your bedroom to do "checks" every so often. My neighbor had even told me that one time he came home to them tearing down his posters in his living room for no reason, and then charged him $200 for damages even though THE WORKERS tore them down months before move-out came around. They also falsely advertise how they have all these amenities, yet this previous year I lived there, they wouldn't let you go to the pool for months in the summertime. There is so much more I could say about this complex, it is ridiculous, but that is the overall basis of why you should not live here. I recommend looking at literally any other complex in Tallahassee, because there is no possible way that they are as bad as this one. read more

I will be living there this upcoming year and I am so grateful for the staff working there. We had a great experience with them working with us to get a 6 month lease for my roommate, and they really went the extra mile to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. When one of our roommates fell through for our 5x5, Katherine did absolutely everything that she could to make sure we were able to get into a 4x4 apartment so that we weren't living with a random person. So incredibly thankful that they were so willing to work with us and did everything in their power to make sure our experience living there next year was as amazing as possible!! Katherine is the BEST!! read more

The pool was not working for the a lot of the year which is a key amenity. Also it was pretty annoying that the gate did not work for a lot of the year. The people that pay monthly rent should not struggle to get into the apartment complex they pay for. It was even better when the gate was just left open as opposed to having to park & go into the office to have an employee open the gate. It's not the worse place to live but I feel like I could have found better read more

Very friendly and quick responses! I got roommate matched with the best roommates I could have gotten, have a huge room with my own bathroom AND walk in closet, I'm close enough to I-10 but also downtown, and it's a beautiful neighborhood!!! If you go, ask for Mavi, she's great. Seriously, you NEED to live here. read more

I absolutely loved living here my senior year at FSU, I only wish I found it sooner so many student apartments in tally suck. Personally I never got hit with crazy fees or anything which is a huge issue at student complexes. I lived in a 4x4 super cute there were 3 bedrooms upstairs and I got the one downstairs which I was really upset about but i ended up liking it, it wasn't noisy like I thought it would be. My my roommates had graduated the year before so I had to move in with randoms and they were all so nice, respectful, and clean whoever matched us up i owe them one. I truly can't think of a single problem I had here! Not sure if they changed management since cause it's under a new name now. But I loved the houses and the pool. read more

I have lived here for two years and loved it! It is so nice to have an actual house over an apartment, but still get all the amenities of an apartment complex! read more

I had a large amount of problems with the management of this complex especially during move in and move out. About a month or two before moving in I received a call from the complex saying they wouldn't be providing me furniture despite me signing for the furniture package. After having multiple emails ignored and phone calls not answered during their operating hours, I was finally able to get them to start talking to me after I sent an email saying I would use the arbitration clause in the lease agreement due to their breach of contract. I ended up getting my furniture but after moving in they hadn't connected our wifi and said that if we did it ourselves we would be fined $200. Me and my roommates ended up having to wait about 2-3 weeks before it was installed. Our AC was broken for months and it took about 5-6 maintenance requests to get it fixed. Now, after moving out I get sent a bill for a couple hundred dollars for repairs they allegedly made in my room. I asked my old roommate who still lives in our same unit and he said that nobody ever came in to make the repairs. So yet again I tried to contact them via phone calls, emails, and their own residential messaging system none of which they responded to. After not paying the bill for the damages that didn't exist they sent out an email threatening to send debt collectors to get the money, to which I responded asking questions and of course I got no response from them. I hope they see this review and decide to get back to me, but I will likely have to go to small claims court to get the money back that they wrongfully charged me. read more

If you like being charged a ridiculous amount of money after moving out, then this is the place for you. $85 to clean the smallest bathroom I've ever lived in?? When the unit wasn't even clean when I moved in? This is only the beginning of the long list of "reasons" why they'll charge you upon moving out. I get that all these student complexes just try to get as much money out of you as possible, but a little relief right now could really make a difference for some people who aren't supported by their parents. You won't find that here. Look elsewhere. read more

Please do NOT stay here. Very deceiving. Yes, they have big apartments, but management is terrible and slow responding. If you DARE to rent with them, I hope you did a thorough inspection and made about 1,000 pictures of the place. Upon exit, they charged nearly $400 for things that do not exist. If you like being charged a ridiculous amount of money after moving out, then this is the place for you. Very, very disappointed at them taking advantage of students. Also, maintenance calls take WEEKS to respond. Our Cable TV never worked, NEVER! Don't waste your time, there are other nicer, newer, closer apartments around. Thank You. read more

DON'T BE FOOLED!! What a horrible place to live. Everything they show you in the model is a scam. Also, when you move out, they will charge you a full month rent in miscellaneous charges such as "toilet clean" $85. And $75 for a mattress cleaning. What is that!!?? Point is... RUN FAR AWAY FROM HERE read more

The Republic, like any college complex, are sharks for money. They WILL charge you ridiculous amounts of money for anything and everything. Whether it be a missing screen (that had been gone for years, long before I moved in) or a tiny dent in a door knob that you never even noticed. They chose to charge my 5/5 over $100 (or 20 each), to replace a door knob (not a lock, a knob) and a screen. Neither of those cheap materials cost that much, even with labor. On top of this, a dent in a knob isn't even something that needs replacing. It's a nice place to live in Tallahassee if you are VERY cautious. My advice to anyone moving here, check your knobs or just write down that they are dented on your move-in form, because the furniture is so cheap it will just fall apart as you live there. Also, document everything. Living here has been a great learning experience that a company like this is not on my side. Just remember that money is this place's #1, not you. Well, besides maintenance, they rock. They will replace things as they break, be sure to call them before someone from the office does an inspection. read more

We really fell better that our daughter lives here now, She is going on her second year at Redpoint. Much safer community compared to the previous property. We Like the individual units concept. It is like living in your own house. Units are well equipped and maintained. read more

They actually send someone to your room every two days. Blinds are broken? Blind guy is here Monday. Internet won't work? Tuesday. Fire alarm check? Wednesday. Normal people would think they would schedule with you and all come on one day but no, they love invading your place. Also, all the other bad reviews are on point. Not sure why their company is going through replying to them trying to act like they're not the bad guy. read more

This is my first year away from home and I must say living at the republic feels just like home! With the houses all being individual it really gives you a home-like feeling. The amenities are top notch and the workers are very friendly. The maintenance is also amazing, they respond to all your needs within a day or two. Nothing but nice words about this place! read more

The Republic at Tallahassee is one of the best places for college students to live in the city of Tallahassee in my opinion. The staff is always friendly and attentive whenever help is needed, the houses are in good condition, and the community of students that love here are all so friendly and kind. Definitely worth looking into if one needs an amazing place to stay while attending school in Florida's Capital. read more

I only left that review for a gift card when they were doing a giveaway. Do not live here it sucks. The management doesn't care that everyone gets broken into and it happens very frequently. Our AC also doesn't work well and it's been 80 degrees in our unit for like the last two days read more

I have lived here 3 years and it was the biggest mistake i made while living my college experience. I originally signed when it was called university house retreat and was owned by a different company and had very helpful management. Once it switched to The Republic it has turned into the biggest money pit and the management takes advantage at taking your money at any chance they get. The only reasons why i stayed was because of the pool area, i enjoyed the space of my room, and my first two years i was a student at tcc, but it is still so far from everything else (more gas money to go to campus or friends aprtments, waking up earlier to get parking spots for class, higher uber cost, etc). On top of that my rent went up so much when they changed management and i could've been living at a much closer place at the same price that doesn't scam you and charge you with ridiculous fees quarterly throughout the year. I would absolutely not recommend living here unless you have a pet or plan on being very tedious with not getting any small damages (they charged my neighbors $100 for every "ruined" chair that was the cheapest piece of furniture that's most likely in a lot of student housing / and charged another friends house for their front doorhandle/keypad because it stopped working, they didn't do anything or damage themselves). My very subtle point here is, do not live here because the management literally gives no f*cks about you and will not help you with anything, you will be wasting so much money and giving it to messed up people. read more

ZERO Stars! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT MOVE HERE! STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM HERE AS POSSIBLE. MOTEL 6 is better! Worse place to live. Do not have your child live here! NOT SAFE!!! Office staff are kids with no experience to help you and inmature and rude, especially Jen and Tyler! You move in everything not working, no furniture, AC not working, internet not working, holes in wall, carpet smells and dirty, Walls dirty. I can go on and on. What they sell you is NOT NOT what you get. When you move in you do NOT get what they say. It was PURE HELL living here. As a parent, do not let your child live here. read more

I am absolutely livid. DO NOT SIGN HERE! For the amount that you are paying and how far you are living off of campus, it is not worth it. Despite negative reviews that we read before signing last fall (2016), we fell in love with what appeared to be a beautiful cottage with all the best fixtures. Right off the bat things have gone wrong, we move in and the apartment is a mess-paint splatters on the floor, lots of roaches, and dust everywhere. We thought this was normal until we heard that this wasn't the case from other apartment complexes. Then we started seeing all the little things that weren't made clear before we got here- out of all the treadmills in the gym only 2 actually work, utilities are insanely high despite taking drastic measures, the emails and text messages that apparently notify you when a package is here are usually 2-3 days late at a minimum, visitor parking is essentially nonexistent, it took 2 months to have water damage from the hurricane fixed, and the wifi. MY GOD THE WIFI. We put in a request literally the second day we moved in to have the wifi fixed and they simply requested that we reset the box. So we reset the box at least 20 times with no significant and lasting change and the wifi is somehow even worse than before. I have been promised by numerous faceless front desk employees that not only will the wifi be fixed but it has "high priority" and that it will be fixed not only tomorrow, but first thing tomorrow morning!! Here we are at 4:30 of the day they promised, like usual, that it would be fixed, and nothing. I go to the front office to complain, yet again, in person, and the girl at the front desk tells me that she emailed ComCast and that they should be there in 2-3 days!! I don't have 2-3 days, it's literally been months without the worst wifi I've ever experienced, and I am a broke college kid with limited data that I've gone over twice this month alone. So thanks a lot Retreat/Republic/whatever you go by now, your new management isn't helping the fact that absolutely nothing gets done. read more
