Milo Bayside

As of writing this I have 5 open maintenance tickets. 3 of which are over 3 months old. I have sent half a dozen un-answered emails. You can't call because no one ever picks up and they disabled the voicemail box. I once managed to locate one of the office staff and forced them to walk to my apartment and acknowledge the issues and 2 months has gone by with nothing.

There are piles of trash in the hallways, homeless people living in the back lot, and the "renovations" were abandoned (I've been... told its because they failed to pay the renovation company).

The windows are falling out, debris from the hurricanes is still everywhere, the last 1/4 of the complex is partially panted because the painters left, and there's been a 2nd story balcony with the guardrail just leaning against the wall for at least 6 months now. Last summer both pools were closed all summer and the grass around the complex was waist-high. This is truly the worst place I have ever lived. Lee mas

I have had an awful experience living at Milo Bayside. The "newly renovated" unit that I lived in for 2 months had a serious mold problem which affected my health and damaged my personal property. The apartments are being renovated very fast and have some serious structural issues as a result. When I realized the extent of the problem, I immediately contacted the office. Milo Bayside took 2 weeks to even respond to the problem and when they did, I was told that they had no units to transfer me... too and I would have to move out. I had to stay at a hotel for over a week while trying to quickly search for a new apartment. The whole situation was extremely stressful, made even more stressful by poor management that does not respond to emails or phone calls.

Now, Milo Bayside owes me over $3,000 in expenses incurred due to this mold issue, including my deposit, hotel fees, and movers fees and it has been over 40 days since I've moved out. I was told that I would receive these reimbursements within 30 days of move out. Now, I cannot even get a response from anyone at Milo Bayside or the corporate office as to when I can expect to see my money. On top of that, they refuse to refund the $1,000s I've lost in clothing, furniture, and other items, all of which had to be discarded due to the mold. Save yourself the headache and protect you and your family's health and personal belongings and stay far away from these apartments. Management is incompetent and unhelpful and I highly recommend you look elsewhere. Lee mas

Milo Bayside does not care that they have multiple units that have flooding issues, I said it multiple. It's not from tropical storms or hurricanes, but whenever the Sunshine city decides she wants it to rain. Lurin should bulldoze the place to the ground. DO NOT MOVE HERE. Tour while it's raining and see how bad the walk ways flood with water to get a real scope of how bad it is here. Everyone in the office is kind but this place is trash and everyone knows it.

Property management is unhelpful, rude, non-communicative pretty much doesn't care, they never do property inspections you constantly have to put in requests about everything. Major renovations to entire property for 3 years has started, if you want to live in that mess good luck. Everything here is dirty old disgusting not kept up and the model they showed us was not the model we moved into, it was only partially renovated. The only good think I can say is not about the property but the... location - great for Tampa, downtown St Pete and the Beaches. Lee mas

The apartment is okay for the price. Milo Bayside is doing a lot to change the “appearance” of the complex but is doing nothing to fix the issues people actually complain about. It is all just to increase prices and attract more people. However, everyone here continues to complain that their own issues don’t get resolved. When I moved in, my place apartment was absolutely filthy. There was dirt and hair all over the place and it looked like whoever painted just rolled on top of everything (door... knobs, the thermostat, parts of windows, the shower tub, etc.). I gave up trying to scrape paint off everything. The vents are all dusty and haven’t been cleaned probably ever.

The community however is very welcoming and friendly. I just wish they put more care into the apartments themselves. It gives me the impression that once someone signs a lease, they no longer care about whether the place is in good condition or not. Lee mas
