The Lodge on the Chattahoochee

My girlfriend and I lived at the Lodge for almost 4 years and at first it was fantastic. The manager was on point keeping a tight ship. Work orders were completed in a timely manner. Communication great. Then they replaced her with a new manager named Kerrie and its gone downhill and bad.

Takes forever for work orders. Kerrie is rude, snide, and dismissive. One unit had a sewage leak and nothing was done for weeks. Bugs GALORE. The gym was updated after 2.5 years of having an ancient 'gym' and... I use the term loosely. The update still has the gym incredibly lacking compared to other complexes that charge significantly less than the Lodge.

We chose to not renew and asked for an extension (another week) as our new apartment wasn't going to become available until a week after our lease ended. We were told they'd get back to us to let us know. NOPE. I had to reach out multiple times to learn that they wouldn't extend us for a few days as the new tenants wouldn't push back the date. That is fine. What wasn't acceptable is ONCE AGAIN the staff were HORRIBLE in communication and I'd wager they didn't even ask the new tenants but just told us no.

To top it off, when leaving I specifically asked to be notified when the end walk through was going to take place and was told I'd be given a time. NOPE. No communication. So now I don't have any idea about the security deposit or if I owe anything and if so, why. I shouldn't be surprised since it was par for the course.

If you are thinking of moving just know that all you are paying for is location. It's right along the river which is fantastic but the benefit ends there. Also, be prepared for a terrible manager. Lee mas
