One12 Courtland — Attraction in Atlanta

Changing this review because management has really tested my patience! Received notice of eviction TWICE (today is the second time), but I have never been late on my rent, EVER. They continually charge me each month for parking WHEN IT CLEARLY SAYS ON MY CONTRACT THAT I DO NOT HAVE PARKING (I don't even have a car, can someone please explain why this is there??). Plus they keep saying that my rent is $1070 a month WHEN IT IS $980! It says it on my contract.

Side note for my January 2017 rent receipt, the woman put December on it when it was suppose to be January. I've already pre-paid for Sept-December, so it would make no sense for it to say December. So I had to tell her to put January on mine AND THE APARTMENT'S receipt book (because if I hadn't she wasn't going to do it since she already started to file it away) The receipt now says December/Jan. This is problematic because it confusing and misleading for third party reference - which is probably the reason why she did it.

Their eviction processing is on the 15th of every month, and today is January 15. Unfortunately for me, it's Sunday as well, so that means there business office is closed. So I cannot speak to anyone about the continuous mistakes on their part.

I have contracts, paperwork, and proof of payment, so these scammers cannot dupe me.

Also to include to this review since last time I was being considerate:

I live in building one and this place is flithy. Infestation of roaches and flooring and walls in the hallway are stained with throw up and other things. Trash everywhere in the staircase. The elevators are ALWAYS broken and slow which is very problematic since only two floors out of 8 are accessible from the staircase.

On the tour, they'll show you floor number 7 in building two, which has wood flooring and is very clean. Then walk you over through the recreation/rooftop pool area and down the elevator to building number 1's lobby which is also very clean and very nice. However what they don't tell/show you, is the flithy disgusting carpet flooring all the other floors' hallways have. Also that the elevator that one uses to get down to building 1's lobby is the only elevator to the parking deck, and this is also the same elevator that was broken down for 3 weeks! Since I don't have parking, I have no idea how people from my building were able to get to the parking, but I am sure they were very inconvenienced.

Speaking of the parking deck, the gates are always broken. So people who do not live at one12 casually walk up/drive into the parking deck. It hasn't personally happened to me, but I heard of other residents getting their vehicles broken into and people robbing them from their apartments.

Also this leaves me to security. It's suppose to be 24/7 security right? As if. I live in building 1 and over the holidays, I barely saw anyone guarding the door. It would make more sense to have more security during this time but no! No one at the front desk and the parking garage gate was also broken. I thought when the break was over security would go right back to how it was starting out in August 2016, but on Friday, January 13, the door was opened and no one was at the desk!!

I can't count how many times these people have walked in without knocking or anything over break. You know that notice apartment complexes are suppose to give you before maintenance comes in? Never got one. If I was not here over Holiday break, I would NEVER have known they entered my apartment.

The reason they were entering my apartment was because of a vacant room I had in my unit (it's 2br 2bh). They entered probably 5 or 7 times over the break. I didn't find out the reason they were checking out this vacant unit was until I asked one of the workers myself. The reason was because I was getting a roommate the following day!!! I asked the worker at 4pm that day and I didn't receive an 'official notice' until 7 that night.

Please do not affiliate yourself with this apartment. They are scammers that prey on 'naive' students who don't know about their...

DO NOT LIVE HERE 🙏🏾😔: I usually don’t write reviews, but this place is so bad I feel like people need to know what they’re signing up for. The roaches are absolutely horrible. During the colder months it’s a little calmer, but once spring and summer come it becomes a full infestation. No amount of cleaning makes a difference and One12 does nothing about it. If you’ve heard that One12 has roaches, don’t assume it’s just a couple here and there like other apartments. You will literally see them every day. We have deep cleaned our apartment and still get there. Even in our pantry. It’s disgusting! The whole property is dirty. The elevators are constantly sticky, broken down, and disgusting, especially in Building 2. Trash piles up in the halls because people don’t even bother putting it in the chute, so the building smells all the time. The building walkway is also always dirty. Idk if there’s a cleaning crew but…yea… Security is useless. My friend’s ex, who doesn’t even live here, was able to get inside the building late at night with a knife and tried to break into our unit. Nothing was really done afterward by One12, really only the police but only because we kept pushing the case. I even asked to terminate my lease and offered to pay to get out of it, because I didn’t feel safe anymore, but you can’t just leave. They make you find someone to sublease, which of course is nearly impossible because nobody actually wants to live here. We were offered a transfer to another unit, but the apartments themselves are so bad that we just wanted out completely. Parking is overpriced at $150 a month, with small spaces that aren’t worth it. They claim it’s cheaper than other complexes, but that’s not true. Yugo and Westmar charge a one-time payment of around $50 to $100 and that’s it. Guest parking is another scam. My boyfriend’s car was booted two minutes after his free hour expired. We literally came downstairs and were shocked because it hadn’t even been that long! But the booting company told us to ask One12 and One12 said they couldn’t do anything. The amenities are pointless. The pool was drained all summer, the one time people would actually want to use it. The gym is alright but could be better. The furniture is terrible. My mattress had holes in it when I moved in, my drawers had roaches in them during move in day, which my mother killed🤦🏽‍♀️…. Some of the chairs and cabinets were already broken. The website also said a TV was included in the living room, but there isn’t one. Other student apartments include that, but not here. And if you want a pet, get ready to pay extra fees that other places don’t even charge. Maintenance is hit or miss. Our AC has broken at least three times, leaving us sweating in the middle of summer. In the winter, our windows grew mold and we were left to clean it ourselves because nothing was done about the root of the issue back then. When we first moved in, our doors and mailboxes couldn’t even lock properly from the outside. We were given keys that didn’t even work, but they threatened to charge us if we ever lost them… Unfortunately, they lowkey tricked us into renewing early by saying rent would go up. We didn’t want to deal with moving all over again after just two months here, so we renewed, only to find out later that prices actually went down for new tenants. Usually when you renew you get a deal of rent going down a bit, but ours went up. Meanwhile, every “deal” after that rent went down. They said it went up for a bit but not really, they definitely stayed lower than the rent me and my roommates pay now. The only positive thing I can say is that the office staff are nice, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that they rarely have answers and management never helps. Between the infestation, safety issues, overpriced parking, broken amenities, and how dirty everything is, this place is just not worth it. Greystar, the company that runs it, is even being sued and I can’t say I’m surprised. If you are looking for student housing, please look...

Ok so here’s the tea. Before y’all sign a lease here, please take heed to the google reviews. Do your research. These just aren’t reviews, they’re warnings. This place is terrible. When they take you on your tour, the management is determined to sell you a facade. A fake reality of this apartment complex being a safe, comfortable space for a college student. Make sure to ask to go up to another floor besides the demo floor (3rd floor) because that’s the only floor that they actually clean and keep up with. Take a trip up to the 7th floor or 16th to get a real view of what this place is like. Hallways smell like a combination of weed, pet feces, body odor, urine, and other disgusting things. Overall, the property is poorly taken care of (especially the 2nd building). It’s one thing to have dirty roommates but to have the entire property dirty is a whole different problem. The elevators also have the previous stated smells and the tile floor is always sticky with questionable substances. The amenities are a scam. None of the machines in the gym work besides the treadmill/elliptical. Pool is unsanitary (notice how no one gets in) and a hangout spot/smoke session for the campus plugs. The pet owners of this building have no rules enforced on them. People do not pick up after their animals. Often times we find pet feces in the hallways, stairwells, or outside of the property. Now the actual apartment itself...the property manager or whoever inspects the apartment in between tenants ONLY inspects the bedrooms and bathrooms when there are already residents who have renewed living in the unit. They do not ensure that the general shared spaces such as the kitchen, living room, laundry areas are clean and ready to go for the next people to move in. We found our apartment a mess and with prior residents belongings still in fridge, pantry, and living room on our move in day. Mold and mildew build up in the bathrooms and cracks of the door. BUGS. Roaches. Gnats. Fruit flies. I put in three pest control requests for the maintenance staff and they never came. They just marked the task off as completed. Security is a complete joke and they wonder why bad things go down on this property. They almost never ask to see proof of residence or ask to check in your guests. I’ve walked in with three people before without getting carded or checking folks in. They let any and everyone in the building while they sit down there and collect their check for the day. Sometimes they ask to see the ID’s and key cards to be spiteful and let the tenants they made friends with go ahead & let them walk in with whoever. Most times, there’s no one sitting at the post even though that they tell you on tour that they have 24 hour security on duty. People have been robbed in the parking garage, elevator, and hallways. There was a shooting two floors beneath my feet in front of the waffle house. The management didn’t bother to address us on what happened or reassure that security would be beefed up and more precautions will be taken. Needless to say, (i know this is a lot and long), be careful before you sign a lease here. This is a glorified trap house/project apartment complex marketed to college students for the price of a luxury building. $869+ isn’t worth the living conditions that One12 has to offer. I couldn’t be happier to finally be done with my lease....
