Please to not attempt to rent an apartment at Cedar Cove apts. I was a tenant there for 2 1/2 years. Over that course of time, I experienced bad customer service in communication, business, and maintenance. I had many maintenance issues... Refrigerator appliance stopped working over the MLK weekend. I was told that maintenance would NOT be able to get a refrigerator to my apt. until the next business day which was Tuesday. I did not have a refrigerator for two whole days. This was a nightmare, especially when you have kids. Mold was found to be growing up the wall in my daughter's room The hallway toilet malfunctioned causing toilet water to leak all over my bedroom carpet. I was told because the carpet was not wet due to soiled water, that the carpet could not be replaced. I literally begged for new fresh carpet. When I returned home from work, I found a blower to be in my bedroom, supposedly to dry the carpet. I could on on & on....I am a respectable person that follow the rules. I paid my rent every month on time (by the way, if rent isn't paid on the 1st...on the 2nd there is a $25 late fee) However, being a loyal tenant will get you know nowhere. Because of all the maintenance issues, lack of communication, and no consideration for my family, I was forced to seek other living arrangements. Upon submitting my 30 day notice, I requested my $600 deposit back to help with moving expenses...if not all, at lease half...I did not receive one dime. Management conjured a way to deplete all of the $600. I was charged: $160 to clean apartment $160 to clean carpet $280 for forfeit of contract After all I had been through, I was charged $280 because of forfeit of contract...yea right!! With all the moving expenses, deposit, and rent towards a new living arrangement, I was simply tapped out of extra funds to take this matter to Small Claims Court. However, I hope by posting this review...I may help someone not to make the same mistake I did by making a commitment to live here!! signed, A Dissatisfied Tenant read more

SAVE YOURSELF:GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Unfortunately, I didn't really have a choice because I'm a broke college student who needed somewhere to live for my last two years, but YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! - Management is rude. The only time she comes out of her rat hole of an office is to "reprimand" tenants. - Maintenance is creepy and sits on the lawn in their truck, watching people going in and out of their apartments and taking pictures of people doing "bad things" on their personal cell phones. - They lied and said my apartment was "unclean and unfit" because the guy checking air filters/smoke detectors/fire extinguishers was too afraid of my chihuahua to even come in. THEY NEVER EVEN ENTERED MY APARTMENT! Instead of contacting me to remedy the situation, they left the air filter at my door and have yet to check my smoke detectors (which don't work), and fire extinguisher. - We pay a very hefty animal fee (AND PET RENT) to have pets here, yet maintenance won't enter apartments with dogs to do their job. - The owner is a slum lord and hasn't updated the appliances or anything else in YEARS. - They changed the parking in the middle of my lease so that now there is VERY limited parking. - They complain about dogs being off-leash, yet one of their office staff members constantly has all three of her dogs off-leash. - The potholes in the parking lots are disgraceful. - Maneuvering in and out of the parking lot near the one bedroom apartments means either hitting the building or hitting another car. - My apartment was filthy when I first moved in and I had to clean the entire thing myself. (The stove was greasy, the carpet was stained, the air filter was filthy, there were roaches and ants, etc.) - They have violated MULTIPLE leasing agreements and Mississippi tenant laws, to the point where I am now seeking legal council. - I have submitted a BBB complaint and a review. Each time she (so called manager) responds with a nasty, accusatory statement that has nothing to do with fixing any of the problems. She has yet to fix the mold problem. I COULD GO ON AND ON. JUST GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. SAVE YOURSELF. If I could give 0 stars, I would. But hey: you get what you pay for - Silver lining: It's better than being homeless! read more

I would not recommend these apartments to my worst enemy! The management puts on a sweet facade in the beginning but once you've been there for a few months or need something fixed it's like you're in their way or not even there at all! Both the managers (Betty and Kelli) are rude and are extremely two faced. The maintenance men, when they do come, knock once and give you barely enough time to stand up before they barge right on in! I will say that the maintenance guys are nice and usually helpful if you have other questions. A large issue with these apartments is the overall cleanliness. There is mold in almost every room, surrounding window frames, the air conditioner unit in one of the closets, ceilings, carpet, you name it! And if you talk to the managers about it it's brushed under the rug, even though neighbors of mine said they were having the same issues. Not to mention the roaches that showed up, and the fleas that were always present since the outside pet areas were never treated. Clothes and furniture were both ruined because of the mold issue. After coming in as a subleasee, the apartment I lived in had not been professionally cleaned or renovated in almost 4 years. Now that we were finally able to get out of the terrible place, we've gotten a bill for almost $1400!! This included a $1500 fee for replacing carpet and the tile, along with cleaning fees and the like! After taking out our deposit, we now have to figure out a way to pay the balance in a months time. I would not recommend this complex at all! Go to Crabtree or Spruil before you get taken advantage of! read more

I've lived at Cedar Cove for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the friendly and accommodating office staff as well as the very prompt maintenance man that is always quick to fix anything I may need. I would definitely consider living here. read more

If you handle the following then move here -rude staff (Beverly and Kelly)...the definition of unprofessional -Maintenance shows up when they want -Mold -HUGE ROACHES then you can stay here, but my advice...PLEASE AVOID..check out other reviews at apartmentreview and they will tell you basically the same thing read more

I hate this forces me to put one star, because this business deserves nothing. I'm beyond furious. Read the other reviews because it's the same across the board. They look for every reason to fine you. They once tried to fine us for my roommate's one year old baby's toys! While the baby was playing with them! They leave you nasty letters about how you have to keep their property clean and orderly when the apartments are filthy when you move in. I moved out in November, and they are still trying to hound me for more money. They put on the sweet faces in the beginning and every now and then when they are in the mood to be personable, but overall are rude and can't keep up with their own records. They are always getting payments confused because "to get separate payments from each tenant is too confusing for the accountant." When we did our first walk through, the carpet was stained, there was wax all along the wall, and the appliances were dirty. The landlady said the wax was allowed and that they didn't replace carpet if the depreciation wasn't that bad. We needed a three bedroom and it was the cheapest place so we went ahead with it. Now I'm getting a letter that notes "wax everywhere," when that was there before I moved in! They are not worth the price! There are so many other places! I'm telling you, DO NOT RENT from these people. I'm literally one of several who are seeking legal council because of how awful these people are. And they take advantage of the fact that people have trouble affording other places, and that they won't take pictures or complain because they don't have the money for council or other options. If you will not heed the warnings of these reviews, at least before and when you move in, take pictures, take videos, write down notes, all of this complete with date, time, and names. Keep every letter they leave you. Because it's almost guaranteed you will seek legal council. The absolute only upside is you're not homeless, but they are always threatening to evict you if you don't pay their fee or comply with their letters that are on invasive bases, so there goes that, too! DO NOT MOVE HERE! ITS NOT WORTH IT! read more

Horrible experience. There is a lot better deals anywhere else! The key to our door opened other apartment rooms in our building!

I would AVOID these apartments AT ALL COST! When we first moved into this complex, we were pretty pleased. We loved the (fairly large) balcony, the walk-in closets, having two bathrooms, etc. There were some issues with a small section of baseboard falling off of the wall, and a couple other minor issues that were repaired (the drywall where the baseboard had detached was actually rotted and they glued the trim back onto the rotten area instead of patching the wall and fixing it properly). However, after a month or so, things started to deteriorate. We began to notice roaches; a lot of them and their feces in every room of the apartment. When we spoke to the exterminator, he said that it had nothing to do with us and our cleanliness, but that they were coming up through the walls from downstairs. Later into our tenancy, we began to notice mold and mildew along the ceilings and tops of the walls in the kitchen and living room. In one bedroom, it was located along the exterior wall at the top and bottom, the ceiling, and extending down onto the carpet. In the other bedroom, it was mainly in one corner along the exterior wall and around the window frame. It was also in both bathrooms, on the ceilings, walls, and baseboards. When we brought the problem to the landlord's attention, we were told they could not fix the problem and that we had to "deal with it." We have family members who lived in another unit in another building who had similar roach and mold/mildew problems, with no solutions provided. There was not much noise when we first moved in, but over time, more and more noisy neighbors moved in. People ran back and front on the balcony outside the apartment, which actually shook the entire building. There were many noisy parties and a lot of banging on walls and floors. People did not watch their children, who played in the parking lots and on the walkways in front of the apartments, which led to more disruption. There was no dumpster located within a decent distance of our apartment, which meant that every time the trash needed to be taken out, we had to load it into the car and drive to another section of the complex (parking lots are not connected and there were no trash receptacles in our lot). There were no adequate areas to walk our dog near the apartment, so we had to take him down the sidewalk, around a fence, and into a lot owned by Cedar Cove in order for him to relieve himself. Parking was horrible: people frequently had company and there were no guest parking areas, which led to my husband (who works evenings) having to park in another lot of the complex and having to walk back to our apartment. Parking was not enforced. At one point, a large tree limb actually fell on my husband's and a neighbor's car. There was no offer to find us after the fact and no offer to pay for the damage caused. After we moved out (as soon as the lease was up) we didn't hear anything from Cedar Cove until 46 days after the lease had officially expired. We then received a letter with itemized charges that totaled over $2,100. The items we have been charged for included replacement of carpet for $1,800, painting for $400, cleaning for over $200, etc, with our deposits deducted from the charges. All of these are completely bogus and we plan on taking the issue to court if we cannot resolve it any other way. Base rent was $530, plus a $30 fee per month for washer/dryer rental, and $25 per month for "pet rent" on top of our $150 pet deposit. Our security deposit was $200 and based on credit. read more

RUN AWAY from these apartments. If you like not being cheated or stolen from stay away from this place. I lived from 09-12. Things took a turn for the worst in 012. The apartments are infested with roaches and mold. The apartments are damp and there will be mold in your closets and on your clothes. And the management says its the fault of the tenant the apartment is damp. The apartment management is rude and unprofessional. Although the exterminator reports that the roaches are in the walls and the tenants cannot do anything about them the management charges an exterminators fee when you check out. Also they will include whatever other charges they could pile up to rob you off your security deposit and some more and send you collection notices. Since they know that most tenants are students and will not pursue this in court, they continue to steal. All my friends who were living in these apartments moved out. They say park-side, north hill or rose hill apartments are much better. read more
