Zero Accountability, Endless Problems
August 4, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I genuinely do not understand how this property continues to operate in its current condition. In my experience, The Forum of Tallahassee markets one experience to prospective tenants and delivers something entirely different once the lease is signed.
If you are considering renting here, do not base your decision on the model unit near the leasing office. Insist on seeing an actual occupied building. The difference between what is shown during tours and the conditions many residents actually live ...
in is significant.
Since moving in, we have dealt with dirty living conditions, malfunctioning appliances, inconsistent valet trash service, filthy stairwells, and a maintenance department that routinely fails to resolve issues. Maintenance requests are regularly marked as "completed" despite no repairs being made, creating the appearance of resolution while residents continue dealing with the same problems.
The property has ongoing issues with roaches, poor upkeep, and a complete lack of urgency when addressing resident concerns. It took more than two months to repair or replace an air conditioning unit that was not functioning properly at move-in, leaving us to endure unacceptable living conditions while paying increased electric costs. More than six months later, a dryer that has been the subject of repeated maintenance requests still requires three full cycles just to dry a standard set of sheets.
Equally concerning is the apparent disregard for resident privacy and security. Maintenance personnel have entered apartments without proper notice and have left units unsecured afterward. Front door locks have been changed without notifying residents. These are not minor inconveniences—they are serious issues that no tenant should have to accept.
Management frequently claims to be engaged and attentive to the property, yet many of these problems remain unresolved month after month. The leasing office is often difficult to reach, communication is poor, and obtaining accountability is nearly impossible. Residents are expected to continue paying rent while basic maintenance, safety, and customer service standards go unmet.
Students/parents looking for housing in Tallahassee should think carefully before signing a lease here. College housing should provide a safe, clean, and professionally managed living environment. Based on our experience, The Forum of Tallahassee has failed to deliver on those expectations in virtually every area. If I could give zero stars, I would.
