Republic at Sam Houston Apartments

Staff sent an email apartment was ready for move in, to our surprise the bathroom had several live roaches running around in it, water damage around sinks, black mold around window, mold around the inlet vent of the AC. completely trashed stove/ oven/ microwave. Manager did not have a different apartment or simply did want to provide another. She stated they could fix that in 2 hrs which is a true lie infestations can take several weeks to get ride of properly not just killing the ones that are... there. the Black mold requires for an air test, testing of the air ducts as wells as the vents and also can take several days to complete.

They do not take care of stuff even though they said they did. They charge for items when you move out BIG TIME DON'T RENT from them

I've lived here for years, and they truly don't care about the residents. The first apartment I had here had an oven that cooked far too hot (I'm talking cut the time you need to cook something in half, subtract a hundred degrees, and it still burns). Despite multiple requests, it was never fixed.
The second apartment I was in had a huge ant problem. We couldn't leave even sealed bags out because ants would swarm them. They even swarmed my glass of water I kept on the bedstand. We've sent in... eight service requests in the last two months, but nothing productive is ever done. They've closed requests with no actions taken.

You will NOT feel at home, you will NOT feel welcome. Avoid at all costs. Read More

These are the absolute worse apartments in Huntsville if you haven't signed your life away for a year don't! Run as fast as you can to Encore heck even Forum, save yourself the stress of living in an unkept filthy apartment complex. So many things went wrong while I was there that I don't even know where to start.Special shout out to Kyle for acting concerned and never taking care of anything . 1) There were large animal feces all over the apartment stairs and hallways for weeks (now you can... imagine how disgusting the walks to my apartment were not to mention there was always food everywhere as well!) 2)They claim to provide all these services for students in their common area for example: computers and printers available for students 24/7 that however, was not the case they spent over half of the year renovating after they had specified in emails it would only take about a month or so. They also claimed to have a 24-hour gym, which yes they do however, they forget to mention the part about their machines being broken down and never repaired. The machines were NEVER repaired so they basically just have a room with a mirror, broken machines, and medicine balls. So don't count on their "gym" (So much for renovating)
3) They claim they match you with people of similar interest as you which maybe is true and they just stick all the people they couldn't match in building 9! I had the worst roommates, and now I know random roommates can be a hit or miss, however when things escalate such as falsifying my signature and the apartment complex does nothing after you notify them that is what gives them a negative review. I had an incident occur with my roommates, now before you move into an apartment you fill out a questionnaire and you check off yes or no if you are ok with living with pets and if you are a smoker. Both of which I checked off with NO because, I'm allergic to both cats and dogs, and 2nd because I don't smoke. Now this is something the republic did not understand because they placed me with people who were both ok with living with pets and smokers. When I first arrived at the apartment it was fine no one had any pets, however, after a month 2 of my roommates decided to move in a small dog and what appears to be a great dane, a freaking great dane! Those dogs are the size of a cow Read More

I think these apartments are overpriced for the size. I lived here my last semester in college on a six month lease. Initially they agreed to let me do a lease takeover for the last semester, and called after the lease was signed saying that I would have to pay MORE for a short lease which didn't make sense because I was taking over someone else's lease. They finally agreed to let me keep it at the price I signed for and THEN called back and said I didn't pay the application fee. On my lease the... fee said WAIVED. They finally accepted fault and my time there was easy. I was charged extra for what? I don't remember But they worked with me to pay it off once I moved back home from school. Read More
