TL;DR - Don't trust these folks, they don't care about you. (my entire review won't fit here so a summarized version)
Landing started out as a relatively friendly company to deal with. They were very eager to help us initially (which we all know as a consumer translates to take our money). Once we got on board with them and became a "member" the communication was just gone. We had to poke and prod several times for responses while they moved which unit we'd be placed in several times. I mean, it's just our mail, packages, auto-ships, prescriptions...no big deal, right? Finally, they settled on a unit for us about 2 weeks before we were to move in October 9th, 2020 and stay for an indefinite period of time, with a minimum of 6 months which would be ending April 9th, 2021 (this is the best part; more on that).
Now THIS is where it gets good. Recall our initial move-out date of April 9th which is the minimum 6-month deal. Well, we're building a house and of course due-dates and closings get pushed as schedules change from construction issues or weather delays. Anyone who has built a house can attest to this. Our original close date was April 1st so moving out of the apartment on April 9thwould be cool. In January, we could already see that from construction delays we would need to extend our projected move-out date. On January 18th I sent a message to Landing inquiring how long far out they needed to know if we needed to extend our stay. We were responded to by a Landing Community Manager who stated, "we usually need to know as soon as possible, but 30 days out is a good reference." That's great, 30 days works - I responded to that email on January 20th stating we needed to extend our stay for 1 month...at least, and that I would circle back around on that 30 day mark to see if we needed more time. The response, "Awesome, you are all set. Your reservation has been updated for check out on May 9." Cool, that's what we asked for. On March 20th, I replied to the previous email thread about needing to extend our stay to the end of May. May 31st. That's exactly 50 days from the previously mentioned move-out date of May 9th. Remember, their 30-day out policy as a "good reference" when I tell you that Landing responded to my request to extend our stay with an, "unfortunately we cannot do that as someone else has booked your apartment." Excuse me, what?? Landing has essentially double-booked our apartment unit and is now expecting us to move out by May 9th. I don't think so. Per your protocol and Community Manager statement, we were well outside of the 30-day notice. 50 days. As soon as I was told we could not extend our stay, I was livid. I called to discuss with a community manager and they essential just reiterated that it is what it is. No, it's not. Landing has the audacity to ask someone to leave their residence all during Covid, even after the completely lost week from Texas' ice storms, and all because they made the mistake of double booking our unit??...while following their own 30-day protocol. I swear I thought I was in the twilight zone when I asked to speak to someone higher up who could fix this, and the "overnight general manager" (whatever title that is) essentially did the same thing in saying "it is what it is." No, it's not. So here we are, 3 weeks later, with no resolution and extremely poor communication. My wife and I have had to follow-up a few times on this with either no response, or they're working on it, or some absurd offer to move us to poorly rated apartment in a bad part of town. No, we have a child in our apartment, that doesn't work. Also, moving twice unnecessarily doesn't work. Double booking doesn't work! What is there to work on? On March 25than official complaint was filed with the Better Business Bureau as Landing was not responsive to our communication efforts. Landing, who is owned by Caliza, Inc., has not responded to that official BBB complaint. They had 15 days to respond and didn't even try. What protection do you have as a consumer if it isn't the BBB and reviews? Landing doesn't care about you, all they care about is money, which is why they're less concerned about making things right with an outgoing customer than an incoming one. Landing doesn't care about you, or your family, or ethical and logical business dealings.
I know this was a long, arduous read, but it really is the most concise summary of how landing has dealt with us. All we've wanted is for them to respect and uphold their own protocols. Don't trust these folks, they don't care about you, just your money. They say "Hello Landing" and we cannot wait to say goodbye. read more
