Revelry Flats at Milledgeville, milledgeville-ga

I was satisfied with my experience at Revelry until new management took over recently. We have been asked to completely pack up and move out our belongings from our bedrooms for completely unnecessary renovations while still under an active lease for 7-10 days. These are pictures taken of the conditions we’ve been having to live in for a week now. As someone who is moving out of Milledgeville in the summer to attend grad school, this has been really inconvenient for me, as I'm basically having to pack up all of my belongings and move out, move back in, and then pack up my belongings and move out again in the span of four months. These renovations have created an enormous amount of stress and disruption for residents who have built their routines and lives here. It’s clear that this new management puts profit over all else and does not value us. My roommates and I are have been forced to rent out a storage unit and avoid being at our own apartment that we pay rent for all week, despite management claiming over and over again that “we don’t have to move out.” It feels unreasonable to expect us (many of whom are college students in the middle of their semester) to shoulder that burden for upgrades that are obviously not urgent or essential just so they can increase prices for future tenants. My roommates have already renewed their lease for next year, and it genuinely frustrates me knowing they’ll have to continue dealing with this management for another year. It’s unfair that they’re now locked into a situation that has already become so stressful and disappointing.

Avoid this place if you can help it. Not sure where to start my review… The apartment is gross but whatever, it’s for college students so I could ignore that. Throughout the year appliances didn’t work, some replaced and others not. They found things to charge us for like trash left by someone in the outdoor breezeway (who knows who did that) and a broken window shade (which was likely 20 years old and brittle and they charged $50 to replace it). The electric bill for my one child is over $100 a month, after the $25 credit revelry gives you. They charge for the last three months of utilities based on the April bill rather than using the meter reading, even though my son won’t even be there. It’s hard to get anyone on the phone. I would try to find a different apartment if you can. I’ll also add that the renovation was super inconvenient at the end of the school year, and the new cabinets are nice—the photos are after the renovation, with busted appliances that my guess is they are going to try to charge us for after move out.

I lived at Revelry for one year and like many others began having issues when new management took over. I moved out in May, when my lease ended, and have spent a good portion of my summer having to continually contact them to fix things. It was incredibly difficult to actually get someone on the phone almost every time. I was getting calls about my keys being missing, despite the fact that when I would call back, the front desk workers could not find anything attached to my account about keys being missing. I tried to get off of the email list, only to be told that was not possible until July since my lease hadn't ended. My lease ended on May 31st, meaning that the reason I was given did not apply to me and told me that didn't bother to look at my account before responding to me. In fact, I was also added to another email list from a third-party company that they are using this upcoming year. I had to contact them in both June and July about automatic charges being put on my account that took them weeks to take care of. I am still dealing with issues due to charges on my account that I have been told will be taken care within a couple of days. I was told that at least three times over the course of two weeks. I did let them have two stars only because the front desk staff truly has been doing their best to help me. They understand how frustrating all of this has been but also don't have the power to help me with it. I also know that I have not been the only one struggling with them this summer. My roommate has also had to be in contact with them on multiple occasions, even though her lease also ended in May. Edit: I did get in contact with them through the reply to this review and was able to get all of my charges resolved immediately after emailing with them. It was quick, easy, and I’m really glad it’s been taken care of.

Three years of on time payments with Revelry Flats and we received nothing in return except apathy and poor service from the management and owners. When we moved in the couch and beds looked like they came from a horror movie. The couch was so stained and sticky my roommates mother bought a cover to hide the nastiness. Throughout our stay they did every sneaky thing they could think of to over charge me and my roommates. The funniest one if you can still laugh about it was my toilet seat. The old toilet seat was wooden with most of the paint wore off. Under one of their “inspections” they determined it needed to be replaced and charged me $50 for their ancient toilet seat! The office staff would blame it on the uncaring owners and would deny any ability to correct blatant overcharges with the typical “nothing we can do” comment. There’s lots of other horror stories that you can read about in the actual legitimate reviews below including the famous “remodel” of our unit in the middle of classes requiring all three of us to move out into the street. Reading managements responses to this horrible treatment in the other reviews sums up their feelings about the people who live here. They have the audacity to claim that the improvements are not meant to inconvenience their renters yet that’s exactly what they did without remorse or compensation! Nobody is happy living here. Crime, owners that are super greedy, poor maintenance, and a lack of caring are in your future if you make a bad decision to move to Revelry Flats. You’ve been warned.

So they’re essentially making us move out to do renovations, WHILE WE STILL LIVE HERE, for an unknown amount of time while putting all of your stuff in the closets or the bathtubs. They also want you to either take your pets out of the apartment or leave them in a cage, again, for an unknown amount of time. They also don’t send any emails regarding when maintenance is coming as I have had maintenance show up without any prior warning. Another thing is that they have harassed one of my friends who also lives here as he also left a 1 star review and then proceeded to call him incessantly as well as his guarantors which is highly unacceptable. They have also increased rent for new tenants coming in by over $100. I signed here because it was cheaper and now it’s owned by the same company that owns the other apartment complexes here in Milledgeville. They have no consideration for those who are actively living here and do what ever they want because we pay rent. Edit: So they started renovations and it’s a mess. They said that they were doing flooring for our unit, and they instead painted our entire apartment. There’s stuff all over the floors, the paint is still wet, the power is off in of the rooms, and they have broken stuff of mine that should have been safe. I’m so incredibly furious and disappointed. I can’t believe this is legal at all, these aren’t live able conditions.
