I am a college student that was looking for an apartment that I could immediately move in within a week. I made the mistake of choosing the Bellamy due to the time constraint. By the time my list of issues started to stack, it was too late, and I had no other options. That’s why I’m writing this review, to prevent you from buying into the facade the Bellamy leasing agents paint.
- ONBOARDING: When I came at 10am Monday morning to get my keys and was signing paperwork, I noticed they tacked on
...$40 on top of my base rent. The line item for this was “guaranteer waiver” because I didn’t need to enlist my parents to co-sign. Despite pushing back and explaining I met the 3x income requirement, the leasing agent claimed it was mandatory without a cosigner. Did they ever care to check my paystubs to verify I met the income requirement to live here? No. Did they ever check my student ID? No. In fact I’ve met multiple people at the apartment complex who are not students.
- ROOM: I took the pictures attached to the review right when I walked in, shocked that I had been the victim of false advertising. The floor was dirty, I was missing a mattress in my “fully furnished” apartment, and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting, it even had blood on the toilet seat. Despite this I had to start my WFH job in a few hours after receiving the keys - I didn’t even have time to go back to the leasing office and get the mattress sorted, as I could barely set up my desk for work on time. I had to spend my first night as a Bellamy tenant at the Super 8.
- TRASH: Immediately my first impressions of the apartment buildings were they were dirty, there was crud on the floors, walls, staircases. Lining the staircases are an array of spare cups, forks, Chick-fil-a, you name it, you could probably find it in one of the Bellamy hallways. In addition to crud and miscellaneous pieces of garbage, trash bags lining the halls are a staple of the Bellamy. In fact it’s on of the advertised features, “valet trash.” Despite that, not matter what day it garbage constantly lines the halls.
