The Benjamin at Landover Hills

Worst apartment I have ever lived in! I had MULITPLE leaks in my bathroom and bedroom that was like pulling teeth to get fixed. They never ONCE offered to move me to another unit or get a hotel while they were doing this work, so I was stuck sleeping on my couch and holding a bowl over my head to go to the bathroom. The neighbors are the LOUDEST people I have ever lived next to, with neighbors BLARING music for hours (sometimes until 1am) and if you have neighbors above you, especially with… children, they will be up making the MOST noise possible until the early morning, even on weekdays. The grounds around the apartments are INFESTED with cockroaches, that will happily wonder into your apartment because none of the doors are properly sealed. I will never again rent from here or any property owned by GatesHudson. Read More

If I could give -10 I would. I lived there for 1 year between 2 units because the first one ceiling caved in and the second one had more mice than natural lighting. Last 6 months of my lease they lost the pest control contract so I had to do it myself. Thousands of cats are on the property and they do nothing about it. I got to the point where I left and owe a balance and did not care because the experience was horrible.

Do not move here. The office staff is rude and defensive and unhelpful. They are more concerned with letting you know it is not their fault rather than being helpful. My NEWLY RENOVATED apartment flooded from the ground up due to shoddy plumbing work. They had me living in an apartment with mold for over 2 weeks before even coming to see exactly how terrible it was. Floods/leaks are considered an emergency but they surely didn't treat it like it. They had to move me to a new unit and that one… has since been infested with roaches. They just got bought by Kettler and rebranded to "The Benjamin" but nothing has changed but the rent prices (they went up with no reason!!). Don't move here. Read More

I rented a 1 bed/1bath apt with Verona and I have been living here since Jan 2021. I would say, the first few months were good. The major downsides are the area isn’t really that great and the neighbors can get very very noisy. I didn’t know if this was a smoke free environment or not but clearly it isn’t. People here like to smoke like there’s no tomorrow and even if they do it outside I can still smell HORRIBLE smoke. Even being inside doesn’t help cuz I can smell it through my walls/vents.… Walls are super thin. This unit showed me I’ll never get a 1st floor/ground floor apt cuz I can hear everything that goes on from ppl above me! It can get quite loud after work hours. Or even in the middle of the night when I hear a dog or child running around like crazy and stomping ??. My neighbor even snores like a PIG so I have no choice but to blast my music to tune them out. They also have a dog that likes to howl randomly during the day/night and I’m pretty sure that dog breed isn’t allowed in these apts anyway…

Overall, these apartments are good but have a lot of downsides. However the rent here is resonante, office staff is friendly, and maintenance def needs some work (they’ll show up to ur unit unannounced about a problem you put in weeks or months ago). Read More
