Landing at Bayou Cane

I am incredibly disappointed about my current stay at Landing at Bayou Cane. I am a new resident, residing here for less than a month and I wouldn’t suggest anyone live here. When I moved into my apartment the A/C wasn’t working, it was fixed in about a week, but now it’s not working again. It took two weeks to get a dryer that they already had around. There are no screens on the windows. I was told that as long as it is “habitable” certain things wouldn’t be fixed that are considered cosmetic.… On the sides of the counters, there’s glue where the counter siding is supposed to be placed, I supposed that’s not going to be done. None of the doors close properly besides the front door. Rusted vents and sprinkler heads. I’ve called numerous times to the office, to be told okay, it’ll get done, as well as go into the office just to be told the same thing, that it’ll be fixed. It’s not being done, and majority of these things would take no time at all. Please carefully inspect the apartments before you move in, I couldn’t because I had to move relatively quickly. I highly do not recommend anyone living here, especially students. Read More

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! I wish we would have listened to all the reviews we read! We've had multiple incidents here, ranging from apartment issues to paying monthly rent to management and neighbor issues! In all cases, nothing was done! Our FIRST apartment here, on the first floor, constantly flooded when it rained! To the point we had to get sandbags WHICH, were removed by staff! Ceiling fan blades have flown off & hit us while lying in bed! We were told this was fixed & it happened yet… again! We've dealt with insect bites, which ultimately caused us to move to another unit. When moving, we had to basically start over as new tenants with fees. Two months into living in our second apartment here, and paying rent, management told us there was NO RECORD of our transfer and that the previous employee no longer worked here! In which case, we sat after hours to complete this process, which should've already been taken care of. There has been three shootings, all of which residents were NOT notified. Residents’ pets have been mauled by other resident’s animals being off the leash. During the summer, the pool was GREEN! Never sent a letter out to not swim in, or that the pool was closed. Turns out, it was unsafe after being told it was safe to swim in. EVERY MONTH, you receive a monthly statement from the corporate office and when you go to pay the billed amount, staff tells you your rent is more than billed! There was never a valid answer as to WHY but you were expected to pay or else they were charging you a late fee! EVERY MONTH you go to pay rent, there is a NEW STAFF! Never consistent! All instances within SIX MONTHS of living here. We decided to terminate our lease, gave SIXTY DAY WRITTEN NOTICE & agreed to other terms. Fast forward, we moved out and the staff contacted us for our rent, after we moved off the premises where we had to remind them we had moved out. They insisted they had not received our notice which THANKFULLY we had signed by the MANAGER who received it. So, we waited on our "bill" for termination, where we received a bill for THREE THOUSAND dollars! DO NOT BE FOOLED! It’ll be a smooth move in process and HELL TO BREAK THE LEASE! I could go on and on about this place, and it’ll NEVER be anything good! Read More

Unsafe: 2 shootings in the past year.. No dog park: Just animal waste stations and poop on your shoes if you stray off the sidewalks. Cheaply built: You can hear your upstair neighbors walk across the floor and if you are as unlucky as I am, you can hear the dogs howling and jumping like they are inside your own apartment..management pretry much tells you to deal with it. Fee increases: My rent has gone up the last 3 rental bills i have recieved. The biggest increase is 15 dollars for trash.… .Good luck taking your garbage out and fighting the nasty dumpsters overflowing with trash. Rental agreement changes: They will no longer have cable or internet included in the rent as stated in the amenities...didn't know a landlord could modify a lease agreement without my consent before the lease is up. Gym: The only thing that works inside the gym is the dumbells. Parking: Good luck finding a parking spot near your apartment or parking your car without getting damaged due to inconsiderate tenants that just park any which way they want. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE Read More

I highly recommend NOT renting an apartment at The Landing Apartments on Bayou Cane for many reasons.

They are extremely overpriced.
Unfortunately my job relocated me to Houma and I wasn't given any time to drive down and do any real apartment hunting. I wish I had the time to find someplace cheaper. (Side note: My current home is cheaper, twice the square footage, and has a fenced yard for my furry friend.) The Landing had a decent online presence. The repeated barrage of online advertising… caught my attention; however, from the time I made my initial inquiry to the time I decided to call to check on my application (a few days) the person I had been in contact with had been fired. And that should have been my first hint that things were not as they should be down in the adorable little cottages on Bayou Cane.

The staff is entirely incompetent and has an insanely high turnover rate.
I lived at the Landing for a few years. The staff in the office turned over several times before my departure. I run a business and have had to fix or rehab ailing locations. If my business had the same turnover as The Landing, I'd be out of work and broke in a heartbeat. The Landing is run by a much larger corporation with holdings countrywide. Thus, they're able to shore up their dilapidated, shoddy locations with money earned elsewhere.

The staff WILL lie to you.
Do not trust the folks in the office. Their entire reason for being is to scam you out of as much of your money as possible. They will be rude to you, they will condescend, they will make your life miserable... all so they can make their parent company as much money as possible.

I don't recommend moving to Houma at all, but if you absolutely must and if your only options are living at The Landing or turning tricks for Big Jerry so you can sleep on the couch underneath the big oak tree in his front yard... I'd choose Big Jerry's outdoor lounge every single time. Read More
