The Lex

Great place to live. Very nice and affordable for student housing. A new management group took over and it’s made a huge difference!

I lived at the lex for the 2014 – 2015 school year before my roommate and I both agreed we didn’t want to live there another year. A few months after we had moved out I received a phone call from a number in Georgia. Thankfully I actually answered it when I almost didn’t, because it was a collections agency telling me I owed the Lex over $ 300 for carpet cleaning and such (which I thought was the point of a month’s worth of deposit), and that if I didn’t pay it now it was about to ruin my credit. This was the first I had heard of this, even though the lex knew both my email and phone number, neither of which had changed. After confirming that the collections agency was legitimate I immediately paid the money, no argument, just to get it done with and not have it follow me.
Months have passed and I’m now moving out of my current house and looking for something different. After applying to a place I was entirely in love with, those property owners informed me that the Lex had told them I owed them $ 250. When I called the Lex, they said yes I owed them this $ 250 for the exact things I had paid over $ 300 for to their collections agency back in the fall. Over a week later they called me back and said they finally got in touch with their collections agency, and yes in fact I did owe them nothing. Because of them and their inefficiency in discovering this information I lost the place I desperately wanted, as well as 4 other properties. I’m in no way an angry person but I am unequivocally pissed off at the Lex right now. Unless you want to keep getting charged after you’ve moved out and have an unwarranted bad rep for future tenants, NEVER live here

My attorney sent a letter requesting a signed lease from us. They sent a letter explaining the mix up. SURE don’t consider this place

Inexperienced management, one leasing agent says something different than the other. Move you around to accomate their own fixed move in dates — not flexible and hard to coordinate with. Conned me out of my apartment!!! do not trust. They also need to clean the area more, dog poop everywhere.

Attention sorority girls!!! Unless you enjoy being ripped off the Lex is NOT for you. Early move in (this is what you will need for Rush week) will cost you EACH $ 300 a week!!! Also, communication will be poor at best and the property manager will probably find it necessary to insult you! I absolutely wish we would have forced our daughter to gather more information prior to signing the lease. Remember… things are not always as they appear!

Inexperienced staff. Inflexible– their error becomes your problem. Most recent issue involved walls vandalized in a common hallway/​stairwell. Management sent a notice demanding the guilty party come forward and pay for damages or the cost of repair would be divided and all residents of the building would forced to pay. Childish scare tactics? Yes, but believe it or not they followed through and say that their right to do so is in the lease. I’m checking on the legality of this, but clearly it is unethical.
This company markets itself to college students due to their excellent proximity to campus –sadly it also takes advantage of their youth and inexperience as well.

Biggest bunch of idiots I have ever had to deal with.
NEVER RENT AT THE LEX! It seems their sole mission is to screw you out of your money and make you never want to return, and they do an amazing job of it.
We’ve had so much trouble with the management and staff including them breaking our contract and cheating us out of money. The worst part is that we can’t legally abandon our contract without getting sued! It is written in the lease that we have no right to pursue legal action against them no matter what they try to pull.
The Lex is a bunch of tyrant vultures preying on naïve college kids. Take my advice and STAY AWAY FROM THE LEX.
