Warning: Be Cautious Before Renting Here and I highly recommend avoiding this property.

May 18, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com

I strongly advise others to be very careful with this property. There have been serious safety concerns, unfair charges, and questionable policies. For example, one day my door was locked automatically without any reason. When I called them, they remotely unlocked it—but still charged me $50. Even worse, three days later, I was hit with a $175 late fee, which made no sense. The apartment itself was in terrible condition when I moved in—dirty and clearly not properly prepared. I filed a ...

complaint, but nothing was done to fix the issues. Due to the poor condition and constant problems, I decided to move out early. After I checked out, I received a final statement full of unexpected and unjustified charges. It felt like they were trying to take advantage of me. Based on my experience, I believe this property is poorly managed and potentially operating in bad faith. I highly recommend avoiding this property.

May 21, 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We always strive to provide a positive and fair living environment for all residents. We take concerns regarding charges and unit conditions seriously. Prior to move-in, each apartment is thoroughly inspected, and any issues reported to our team are addressed as quickly as possible. Additionally, our leasing structure and policies—including those related to lockouts and late fees—are clearly outlined in the lease agreement and reviewed with each resident at the time they sign for a lock out. While we understand that shared living and individual leasing can sometimes present unique challenges, we work hard to support all residents throughout their stay. If you believe any charges on your final statement were incorrect, we encourage you to reach out to our management team directly at info@liveatarlington.com so we can review them with you in detail. We appreciate you taking the time to ...

share your thoughts and wish you the best moving forward.

Super chill living environment

September 25, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com

Arlington Apartments

September 25, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com

I have lived here for over a month now and I have no complaints so far. Everything was very clean when I moved in and if there was maintenance needed, they have came every time in under 2 days. I am very impressed so far since living here and it is so convenient to get to campus, it only takes about 5-10 minutes depending on traffic!

THE WORST

September 11, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

Air conditioning didn't work the day I moved in they never fixed it. can't even find the lease to check if its okay maintenance is horrible. DO NOT MOVE IN HERE

Property Manager Responded

November 6, 2023

Hello, Can you please reach out to use at info@liveatarlington.com to discuss any issues with your air conditioning? We work very diligently to ensure all work orders are handled in a timely manner. In the event an AC is out, we do have window units available while repairs take place or parts are on order. We can also send you a copy of your lease agreement!

Maintenance Issues

April 26, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

My daughter lives at Arlington with several roommates. They have been without AC for A WEEK. The manager will not call me back after leaving messages and emailing. They keep promising to repair or replace the AC but again it has been a week. The units themselves and the amenities are great but management does not care at all about the residents. While all this is going on, the management office is closed for FOUR days for training. Hopefully that training includes how to properly respond to ...

maintenance and contact requests.

Property Manager Responded

May 9, 2023

Hello, We apologize that the office closing did not fall at a convenient time. Our team has since replied to all communications received while we were closed. If you are still having issues with your AC, please have your daughter, reach out to us and submit a portal request!

Please do not lease here

August 13, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

While every apartment at LSU seems to have their challenges, this place takes the cake. The property management is non-responsive, unwilling to recognize the needs of their tenants, property is run down and in needs of serious mold checks throughout. Since Arlington claims they rent to LSU students only (not true), I wish LSU would monitor how these properties manage their students and the community. Agreeing with the previous post/review - they claim my daughter didn't turn in her keys until ...

12:09 (which is not true) and charged us $75 holdover fee for being late to turn in keys. PLEASE Read all the reviews before signing a contract to lease here and check Facebook pages on this property.

We appreciate all reviews, and appreciate you giving us the chance to improve by providing us with this feedback. We have reviewed your dispute email & sorry that we could not come to an agreement with your final charges. We have replied to all your messages within hours, so if there are any we are missing, can you please resend them?

Terrible! Horrible! Do not lease here!

July 22, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

Absolutely terrible! The units are dirty and not well-kept, but when you try to move out they invent a bunch of fake charges for your student. We just got an email for $500 worth of charges that has been absolutely fabricated!

Property Manager Responded

July 27, 2022

Jennifer, I am sorry we weren’t able to discuss charges with you as you were not listed on your daughter’s account; however, we did send her an explanation of charges and related photos. We send move out instructions to all our residents via email and a paper notice on their door explaining how to a void this.

Beware of Lease

August 14, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com

This place was great our first year but they must have come under new management that is extremely keen on using its powers in the lease to make your stay here abysmal. Be warned of signing this lease as everything in this review they are allowed to do. In the past week 2 maintenance groups have barged into our apartment not peacefully( as is stated in lease) and we were given no heads-up of there arrival, and no mask were worn by any of them potentially exposing us to the corona virus. We were ...

charged a full month of rent for using a vacant room to hold cleaning items when management failed to lock the door and refuses to take fault on there part, even though we were told that other people do the same thing. This place has upset us extremely given that we have been here for a year with no problems and even resigned early when they lied about how full there occupancy is. The staff in the office is lazy and no one seems to know how to run things. One of our roommates received a package in march and just got it yesterday in august, no email sent. They now refuse to give packages to our roommates because they are supposedly busy, but we notice they all sit around inside chatting and not doing there job, and you will be greeted with an attitude that does not reflect what this place tries to stand for from eye rolls to sighs.We feel as we can not take action as the property manager would evict us with out-hesitation if we tried to make any rational claims and therefore would not recommend this apartment complex to any new students coming to LSU. This virus is not an excuse for poor treatment of your tenants, hold up your end of the agreement.
