StateHouse Gaines, tallahassee-fl

Do not live here. Elevator is slow and never works. At moveout everything was perfect. Sent a bill for $400 - they said the nightstand was broken and it wasnt. Charged us for painting the entire bedroom when nothing was nailed to walls and walls were perfect after moveout. Also - the best, charged us to pressure clean balcony. Do not live here. I warned you.

I don’t live at Statehouse Gaines, but I’ve visited a few times and always had a really good experience. The place feels welcoming and well kept, and the staff have always been kind and easy to talk to whenever I’ve interacted with them. I also have a few friends who live there, and they’ve said great things, especially about the location and how convenient it is. From what I’ve seen and heard, it seems like a really solid place to live with a good community feel.

Only one properly functioning elevator most of the year for such a large building. Hallways and elevators were always filthy, rooms are tiny and the property is poorly managed. They frequently give out false information, have a tendency to overcharge and take forever to correct. Very challenging to get a hold of anyone when there’s a concern. Office does not respond to emails or voicemails if it requires their action. So many better properties in Tallahassee, skip this one.

Everything is nice except they came to “fix” our dryer after a couple days since are maintenance request and it still doesn’t work. They took it out of its slot in the laundry room and put it back still not working.

I am writing this review on behalf of my close friend Connie Millan, whose son Zachary Lewis requested an application on a visit in October. I was so disheartened to find out that Zachary, who requested an application completed it without a fee and was then sent to a site where he apparently signed the lease without much knowledge of what was going on. He did not pay a lease fee He was never at the point nor was his mother that they were choosing State Tallahassee as of yet, what surprised me even more was the fact that you do not do background checks or credit checks or any check on anyone Living there. For these young adults to not be background checked it's pretty scary to me. I would never allow my child to live in an apartment where that has not been a background check, especially for young adults who are living, mostly on their without their parents. One must wonder, why there have been many missing young adults, and so many killings on campuses. I believe that that is something that should be addressed, but regardless of all this since the parents is the one that pays for their education this is something that should've been shared with them and not by email very bad practice. So parents, please please beware of state practices with regard to leasing apartments to young adults. Here you have a mother who is now being told that there's nothing they can do and that she would be responsible for paying $17,000 a year and her son does not even in that school.
