Mayton Transfer Lofts

This place is by far the worst apartment complex I've ever lived in. The grounds are filthy, the office staff is completely unhelpful, and the walls are paper thin. You will hear literally everything going on around you from people talking outside, to your next door neighbors crying baby, to the person above you stomping around. They have no kind of signage for delivery service to know where they should go to find your apartment, I've had food delivered to the wrong apartment multiple times… because of this. Just don't bother with this place. It's a hassle & you won't get any peace while living here. Read More

My complaint has many dynamics to it. It's my overall experience from move -in to move-out. The leasing staff lies about security deposit issues, early moveout options aren't given correctly, maintenance issues took to much time to repair and I truely believe that due to the limited rent options in the area (due too crime), they feel they can get away with all these things. Fort Lee is not closing and the demand for hosing is great. It's just a shame the way military, (active duty, reservist and… veteran's as well as there families) are treated. Read More

For anyone wanting to move into the Mayton Lofts; on 250 E Bank St, Petersburg, VA 23803. There are a lot of negatives about this complex.


-Walls are thin as paper, you could hear people walking in the hallway,you could have a two way conversation through the wall, it sounds like they’re walking in your apartment. When I say thinnest walls ever, you're probably not going to get good sleep.



-Parking is horrible.


- Water doesn’t stay hot for more than 10 minutes.



-ROACHES, ROACHES,… ROACHES; tried getting rid of it myself, with fumigating the whole apartment, but they just kept coming.



-Trash is always overloaded.


-Smells like MARIJUANA some of the time.


-It may be convenient for military, but its not worth it. Trust me, coming from someone in the Armed Forces.


-Dogs barking all the time.


-Shower pressure is really low. Read More

This complex offers good starter lofts to the younger crowd. As far as the credit entry you can have no credit, good credit, however you just cannot have bad credit. Which is a huge perk if your fresh out of mom and dads house. Unfortunately they do not offer very many amenities. No pool, or gym. But the location is conveniently within walking distance of many mom and pop restaurants, bars, coffee and bake shops, and right next to the YMCA. But I will say they do have their ups and downs… .

Pros:
Easy to get approved
Maintenance is friendly and timely
Pet Friendly
Interior well kept (Weekly hall cleanings)
Can pay rent online
Has sister complexes in other cities.
Deposits (including pet) are transferable

Cons:
Walls are paper thin
No leniency even if you pay rent a day late and have been with them of 4 Years ($100 late fee)
No on site pool or gym
Has a overflow/guest low because the main lot cannot accommodate all of the residence.
Will auto renew your lease without telling you 2 months prior to it ending.
Will nickel and dime your deposit for silly things (Door stops) or things that they cannot prove or cannot show you. ("Odor in the bathroom?" After I had my Apartment professional cleaned and looked over every inch of it) Even after a leasing agent reviewed the cleaned apartment with me.
