Apartment Review for Magnolia's At Sandy Springs - Atlanta, GA

New Management is only about profit - don't rent here

Date posted: 11/2/2006 Years at this apartment: 2004-2006

Property was recently bought by Lindt, and the new management is only about profit. Our building BURNED DOWN and they quickly rushed into a building demolition BEFORE the police report was available to prove that it was their fault. (to hide evidence? So they won't have to compensate us for the loss of our stuff?) The same apartment burned 6 months before the new mgmnt arrived in the same location (bathroom ceiling fan).

Our basement apartment window was broken and someone entered the apartment and stole from us. Old management was horrible. No one installed fences around the back part of the property so it's still a cut-through for people walking down Roswell Road and not secure.

The new mgmnt relocated us after the fire for one month and then raised our rent $300/month. Roaches were a huge problem in the basement apartment and

not so bad in a 3rd floor unit, but the units aren't sealed well and we get secondhand smoke from the guy who smokes in the 2nd floor beneath us everywhere in our unit.

They have been raising rents since they got here. The water is shut off during the day without notification (they say they do notify us but they don't), they don't care about the tenants or how long they have been here, only about profit.

Bottom line: don't move here unless you have enough money to spend to be noticed and or heard. Money talks with this new company.
