Tenant Reviews for 13901 SW 122 AVE

I wish the option to give ZERO stars was available. The place is awful and the office woman is a &%#*@!!!! They never repair ANY of the water problems and instead blame their lack of action on you because you brought the leaking problem to their attention. Do not move in to this place. It looks good from far, but it is FAR from good.

VVaD is not a bad place to live, and overall, we give it marks passing as a place to live. The management kept the place in order. The kitchen was extremely small, and we don't understand the floor plan at all (awful), but it will at least be a safe place to live until you hopefully become a homeowner with a decent job. Make sure you go to Miami with a job already in hand though, and leave quickly for better places if you don't have a job or lose one.

i love this place, it's so welcoming and makes me feel nice and cozy, from the broken front gate that hasn't been fixed in a month, to the smell of cat piss on all the bushes, it's like I'm back in the hood, home sweet home! The cat piss really reminds me of my new Chanel perfume I got for 200 dollars. The best part is they have hidden fees and so many rules that no one abides by, you are responsible for everything, if there's a hurricane you're expected to put up the shutter no matter what floor you're on and you have to buy your own drill and ladder and they tell you everything at the last minute, I love surprises!!! the management has great people skills; they are rude, nasty, and don't care about you; they only want your money. Because you know, I love giving my money to these people. God forbid if you have your family from out of town come visit you because they'll be paying $30 a car to park there for the weekend or you get a nice sticker that doesn't come off on your car, but who doesn't love those? Adds a little color. Heck, they might even tow your car if they're feeling generous. I had a leak in my house and it took them a week to fix it; it's like I was at Rapids water park so I guess it's not that bad. There's garbage everywhere that my dog like to pick up and eat and take back in the house with him, but who cares I love collecting other people old rotten garbage, the best part is, they don't clean it up. It stays there for a week and smells terrible then your neighbors complain about you and they tell you they will kick you out. If you haven't gotten it by now, I hated this place, and so will you, do not rent here unless your kids are living in the streets. You have been warned.

Do not move here! They are after your money, they do not care about the residents. A leak in my apartment before we moved it was never fixed our water bill was 600+ and we had to pay out pocket 400 for something we didn't do. My neighbor was kicked out for the same reason. The apartment should be fixing it instead of kicking people out. The people in the leasing office are TERRIBLE, often was rude to my 18 year old child. They are power hungry. Tatum and her boss are a pathetic adults that have nothing better to do then start drama with the residents. The apartment is cheap and it looks like it. The walls are thin and dirty.

Expensive for the rooms available and administration is horrible. Better to avoid contacting them as you would think they're doing you a huge favor by allowing you to live there. But nice area close to a park.

For the amount they charge for rent you would think they would maintain the apartments. The office is closed for three or four days for almost every holiday. That means the maintenance department is off as well. The office never has returned a phone call. I've always had to go to the office to get something done. They want the rent on time but the only maintenance they seem to care about is the landscape.

Do Not move here! I'm not the type who does reviews on apartments but this has been far the worst apartment complex I've ever lived in. I love my apartment spacious room and closets, but management is HORRIBLE! They have so many rules yet nobody follows them. Parking is a Hassel, there's dog poop everywhere so my children can't play outside in the play ground without the fear of stepping on dog poop. There's been vandalism on cars, security doesn't do there job. So if you want people to do what they please to your stuff come and move in if not stay away. Management could care less about you and your stuff yet alone safety. The only good about this place is maintenance and how friendly they are and helpful.

Stay away from Vista Verde @ Deerwood if for ONLY ONE REASON: the jerk who is the manager (his name begins with R and I forget it). The manager is a SLIME, and certainly the ownership (Rilea Group) is as well to let this scum manage property. Here's an example: he wanted us to pay $25 for him to tell the next landlord we were good renters who paid our rent on time. There's nothing more insidious and slimy than that. Every landlord I dealt with in the past had zero problem telling the next landlord if we were good renters, and didn't say "I'll do it for some good cash." They had other issues totally related with crappy management. Most management is benign and even friendly so long as you keep up your end as a tenant. Don't be fooled by the pretty, friendly leasing lady, who is probably a gem. It's after you sign the lease that you have to deal with Rodoflo or Reynaldo or whatever his name is (begins with an R) If Rilea Group wants to make VV@D a desirable place to live, the FIRST thing it needs to do is to run the current manager off the property. Make one of the leasing ladies the manager!!

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!! Scam they are friendly at first, once you move in they find an excuse for everything and anything. *PARKING LOT GETS FLOODED!! So requires you to park further down from your apartment after paying parking permits 1/2 of the people don't use them. Gated community? Well, yes but the gates are always broken and left open at night. Security guard drives in a golf cart every here and there but what is he to do if someone is breaking in someone's car? Stay away find something better it's not worth the $$$. I'm sure there is something cheaper and safer out there.

I've lived here since January and 8 am very happy here. My maintenance issues are addressed immediately and if I call late and leave a message, then I get a call first thing in the morning. I even used the after hours emergency number and he was at my apt in 15 minutes!the guys are great!!! So nice a d helpful always. The few things I wish for are nothing major. I would love updated appliances and granite countertops & new floors in the kitchen. Also I don't think the windows are energy efficient as I can hear conversations and wind blowing through the open spots on the windows themselves. I used to have constant problems with sugar ants but haven't seen them in a long while. Only one roach and I think it's because I had the sliding door open. My friends comment on how huge my bedrooms are and they are. I do wish they would not leave the gates open during the day. I am paying to live in a gated complex so that defeats the purpose even though the team is constantly around the complex. I used to live in Emerald Palms up the street and even though that complex looks good and it's updated, they had a creepy maintenance staff. I would come home at NIGHT to find one of them in my apt fixing something I NEVER requested to be fixed. Another time I came out of the shower naked to find a maintenance man in my home and I screamed. Did he leave, nope just stood there as I let out blood curdling screams to get out. Emerald Palms Management tried to justify it saying he was trying to explain to me why he was there. I swear there was a camera in my apt too because I could hear zooming all the time. I AM SO HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE AT VISTA VERDE!!!! I FEEL SAFE HERE unlike always feeling scared at Emerald Palms --- scared of the creepy perverted maintenance staff & the wacko management t that tried to justify it.
