MAA Brandon Apartments

When we moved in the tenants around us were all decent neighbors. Once MAA took over it definitely went downhill. They never once pressure washed our hallway for years. Police constantly called for domestic disturbances on the same people and nothing done about it, despite management’s knowledge.
Lots of flooding from the hurricane. Our unit and cars flooded. Then they try and bill you for the damage after the only repairs they made afterwards was painting a few spots on the wall and ceiling.

Absolutely love these apartments! They’re clean. The neighbors are nice. It’s quiet. Food trucks basically all week. I feel extremely safe here too

I have lived in many apartments over the past 10 years. This is by far the absolute worst one i have ever lived in. First, When i moved into my apartment the entire place smelled of nothing but marijuana and cigarettes. There were paint spots all over the carpets. I have never lived in an apartment where they don’t replace the carpet after each tenant. Then, i would get amazon notifications of my packages being delivered (they show pictures, clearly my door mat, clearly the right apartment) then... when I would get home they would be gone- PEOPLE STEAL YOUR PACKAGES. Also My car was smashed in the parking lot of my apartment, with no note left of who did it. When I talked to the office they were completely useless and said they didn’t have cameras and to “keep an eye out” for other smashed cars and try to find out who did it and deal with it on my own (Which there’s no way to prove). This cost me an insurance claim and my premium to go up. I was constantly harassed with emails and signs about my dog with claims of not cleaning up after him to the point they would show up banging on my door. It got to the point where I would record every walk I took my dog on as proof. The neighbors are constantly smoking marijuana and it soaks through the walls- I was pregnant my time here and then had an infant, it is disgusting. The trash and cardboard area is always over flowing and homeless people SLEEP IN THERE. I was throwing cardboard away and a man eventually stood up and walked out with his backpack. For the money you pay to live here it’s absolutely not worth what you get. Then to top it off I just got my move out statement of almost $1000 to replace carpet that was already trash when I moved in. Don’t walk, RUN from the paddock club Brandon. It’ll be the best decision you’ll ever make.

Since we’ve moved in 3 months ago it’s always been something. We first dealt with the AC going out multiple times and having to put about 5 work orders in before we finally got someone to fix it. Along with other things like broken shelves and towel racks that weren’t fixed when we first moved it. All have been fixed now but it was like pulling teeth(staff and maintenance was very nice however). The most difficult thing here is the constant weed smoke. I have seen multiple people in the complex... just smoking a joint walking around like it’s allowed, not trying to hide it. I smell weed in my apartment throughout the day from the fumes and other apartments connected. It’s ridiculous and it seems as though management might not want to deal with those people so they ignore it. Read More

Since I’ve moved in approximately three months ago it has truly been a struggle to get settled here. The apartment was not move-in ready and we received the keys later than expected. My apartment still isn’t completely move-in ready. I had cabinet hanging off of the wall in the kitchen, I’ve had light fixtures fall straight out of the ceiling, the wiring in the apartment is wrong to the point of where half of the outlets don’t work. And my porch was completely trashed. The screens weren’t even... successfully installed and when I stated that I would like to have the porch painted because there are crayon an animal stains on the porch They informed me that the porch is not part of what they renovate. So they don’t paint or redo patios. I definitely will not be resigning my lease here. Read More
