My name is Lynn, and I signed a lease for property at 14216 Woodlands drive #94 in Hammond La., on…read moreOctober 21st managed by the property management company Rent Louisiana LLC and owned by Christopher Pugh a pharmacist in Ponchatoula Louisiana. Despite renting me a unit that had buckled floors from dog urine, they told me it was from flooding, but a neighbor confirmed that it hadn't flooded there in the 25 years she had been living there and that the prior occupant had dogs. On the 27th when I went to move in, I found a dirty unknown white powdery substance, a paper bowl and what appeared to be a rather large rat dropping with a hair attached on the top of the refrigerator. I have attached pictures to verify this along with all of my other findings. I then opened up the kitchen drawers only to find a significant amount of rat feces. There was also dog medication, and other medicines left in the kitchen cabinets confirming what the neighbor said about the prior owner having dogs. There were other areas with dog hair and the toilet hadn't been cleaned and had human hair under the lid. I was so disheartened that I reached out to two of my close friends. One owns rental properties, and the other attended law school in Oklahoma. I showed them the pictures, and my friend with the rental properties said he would never rent one of his townhomes out in such a condition because it could make him legally liable and that being retried military, he took a sense of pride in his property and being a man of faith, had no desire to be known as a slumlord, or to pay a shady management company to keep his name anonymous if he were. My law school friend said there's a reasonable person standard as well as an industry standard, and that it isn't unreasonable for a new tenant to expect the property to be cleaned and ready to move in, just like it's not unreasonable to expect your hamburger at McDonalds or Burger King not to have hair underneath the bun. I requested to have my lease canceled and my first months rent of 1150 and deposit of the same amount returned. Emily with Rent Louisiana said the owner was wiling to cancel the lease and return my first months rent but would retain my deposit of 1150 due to other qualified applicants being turned away. I am a single mother and nurse who works 12 hour shifts in a stressful environment. I am selling my home and seeking to move to Hammond to be close to my daughter who is in nursing school there and now I have to look for another place to rent because my house is already sold and I have yet to receive even the first months rent that Emily said would be returned much less my deposit of 1150. I am now out 2300 dollars for a unit I was in only twice in 7 days and had everything out on the 8th day and the key returned per Emily's instructions. How can a company and an owner operate in such egregious ways? Would you want your daughter or mother to move into a place that clearly isn't clean and could pose a health risk due to rat feces and urine in the places where food and utensils are stored? Please see the attached pictures. Fortunately I have friends who are lawyers and other friends who own rental properties and operate in a much more honorable way. They will be helping me purse legal action as well as contacting the health department to report violations of Louisiana codes. I hope this review will help those who are considering renting from Rent Louisiana or Christopher Pugh.

My gas line is leaking outside of the house I am renting. For 2 weeks I haven't had a stove to cook with or heat for my house. The houses he rents look good at first. If you do decide to rent, take a second and third look at the house before you rent it. Check the windows and make sure they open or won't fall out of the casing if they are opened. Make sure all of the lights work and that the faucets don't leak... Yes, I'm having multiple problems. Three handwritten sheets of things that need to be repaired. Having my gas fixed is number one. Has that happened? No!

Wesley Daniels is a slum lord. Hasn't set foot in my apartment since the day I signed the lease 3…read moreyears ago. Will ignore you when you need damage fixed, or for anything really till it's time for rent. God forbid you actually try to hold him up to the lease terms, then he gets all angry with you and won't answer the phone at all. Attempted to get his bank information so I could pay via direct deposit, purposely ignored every attempt at communication for two months and slapped a 5 day eviction notice on my door after being out of state for work for a month. Told him it'd be physically impossible to move everything within 5 days, either I needed an extra couple of days or I'd have to go to court in order to get everything gone. He knew what he was doing, he wanted to force me out without my property so he could claim it. Told him I'd drop the keys off the next day, he made a point to go out and get a court summons that same day and slapped it on my door as I'm moving the last bit of furniture out. Buyer beware, this isn't the realty group you're looking for. The owner has been made aware of the situation and has zero interest. All they want is to charge you top dollar for a substandard, and in my case unfinished upon leasing, home. They will not answer your calls, they will not address any problems, and most importantly they won't insure your agent is actually doing their job.

MOST HATED RENTAL COMPANY IN HAMMOND FOR A REASON!…read more It has been a blessing for my family and friends to ESCAPE this horrible business! They have since changed to "SPM1" to attempt to look better to the public but they will always suck. Ladies in the office (mainly Nicole and Kaitlyn) are clueless, rude and barely know how to print a lease, my apt was CRAWLING with roaches once SPM 1 took over. They like to do construction on apts with no notice or regard to your property (they dropped roof shingles ON MY NEW CAR, and left NAILS outside my door and in the parking lot). They own most of the student apts BUT if you move a couple of miles away from the university they have much better rental companies with much more competent employees. Blessed to say that I WILL NEVER BE BACK, wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy.

The most terrible place I have ever rented from in 35 years! Non communicative and very neglectful.read more
