The Mica

I rented at The Mica and experienced repeated maintenance and sanitation issues that ultimately resulted in financial loss and ongoing disruption during my tenancy.

To note, the location was convenient and the community was generally quiet, which I appreciated. The overall setting had potential and provided a calm atmosphere when there were no active maintenance concerns.

At move-in, the unit was not in what I would consider move-in-ready condition. There were paint droppings on the floor,... painting materials left behind, and several functional issues that required repair shortly after occupancy.

During my tenancy, I encountered multiple concerns, including rodent droppings in kitchen cabinetry, a recurring water leak, and a window that remained inoperable for approximately two months after being reported. In response to the initial leak, maintenance cut an opening in the ceiling/roof area to release trapped water; however, that opening was never repaired and remained unpatched until my move-out. The recurring leak resulted in water damage to my sofa.

Due to the rodent issue affecting kitchen areas, I discarded several small kitchen appliances out of concern for sanitation. I did not receive reimbursement for the damaged sofa or the discarded appliances. Replacing personal property during an active lease was a significant and unexpected expense.

A closet was unusable for approximately two months while parts were ordered, and kitchen drawers continued to malfunction despite a work order being submitted. There was also a leak under the bathroom sink, which was repaired.

Although maintenance responded to requests and staff were personally courteous, there were communication delays and limited follow-up. In many instances, follow-up only occurred after I reached out again for updates. Extended repair timelines and reliance on temporary fixes created ongoing disruption. As someone with underlying health conditions, maintaining a sanitary and properly repaired home environment was critical to my physical well-being.

Ultimately, due to the cumulative impact of these concerns, the financial burden involved, and the importance of maintaining a stable environment for my health, I chose to not renew my lease. Read More

Living at The Mica has been a wonderful experience. Stacie and Andrea in the office are always so welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. The maintenance team is outstanding, they respond quickly, work hard to resolve any issues, and always make sure things are done right. We feel very well taken care of here and are so grateful for the whole team.

My experience has been great so far. Especially my experience with Stacy in the front office. She has been so kind and made moving in and the whole process to easy and comfortable.

Stacie has been such a pleasure to work with. Everything was completed quickly and efficiently, and she even called to check on the status of a small sink.link discovered after I moved in.

This is one of the worst moves of my life. Firstly, we were shown an apartment that was in much better condition that then one that was rented to us. Additionally, the apartment that was rented to us was different from their marketing pictures (especially the design of the fireplace). We moved in and there was an almost hand-sized tear in the plaster in the wall and the toilet handle was broken. I reported this to management, it took over a month and an additional work order to get addressed.... Even now the toilet handle is still broken and they only painted the wall, did not patch the plaster. In our 4 months at The Mica it has come to our attention that the lanai's are not properly secured to the building, and emergency repairs had to be made to some for safety, leaving the rest of us to worry about the soundness of ours. The laundry room has been closed without notice, barring us from accessing our stored belongings. Additionally the washer leaks and floods the floor, and the water heater is wired in what appears to be a very unsafe manner. The property is very dirty and unkept, and the pool and/or hot tub are constantly out of service. This doesn't even address my 2 month long issue with getting our a/c repaired, that still isn't resolved. When trying to get necessary repairs that have been requested by their outside service company, I have been treated with anger and hostility to the point that I no longer feel comfortable being home alone when repairs are needed. At this point serving a 7 day notice might be my only recourse. Read More
