The Nine at Tallahassee

"The apartment itself is on the nicer side of decent . I realize this is a building full of college kids but it's dirty and knowing that it is full of college kids, it should be cared for more frequently when the rent for a 4 bedroom is going for $4800/mo, I am pretty sure the rent would cover keeping it clean and the trash picked up. This is the least of my concerns though. My main concern is we were charged $160 at the end of my son's lease (and we're not aware bc he left it in the condition in which he took ownership) for things that he had proof with move out pictures and videos to document the condition. Once he realized he owed this bc they sent him to collections(!!!), he contacted them and told them he was unaware he owed and he had pictures and videos to prove He left it the same way he got it, they said we don't care. I paid the collections agency right away and we didn't want to damage his credit. The collections affect assured me if we paid it that day it would not go on his credit report. Today, his credit dropped from 800 to 640. Be careful with this group. I would insist on a walk through at the end of your lease. They just ruined his credit in one erroneous transaction that he has worked so hard to build. They DO NOT care about your kid and barely have pride in the apartment building they are leasing at such exorbitant prices."

"Regarding Rent Plus - How dare “The Nine” take advantage of unexpecting students by opting them into a useless product that they can get for free. Clearly, this is a greedy money grab by a corporation seeking to suck nine dollars per month out of the pockets of thousands of poor college students nationwide. Where are the class action lawyers when we need them!"

"ALERT: The Nine FORCES kids to enroll in RentPlus for $8.95 A MONTH and the kid then has to jump through hoops to Opt out of this unwanted service. The Nine hides this charge on page 28 of a 44 page single space lease. The RentPlus product of reporting your rent payment to a credit agency is actually free. You do not need this service for over $100 a year. All credit agencies provide this service for free but the NINE forces kids to buy this service. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. OPT OUT IMMEDIATELY. Spread the word. Complain! It is not the role of the NINE to help kids build credit. The NINE is doing it ONLY to generate money for themselves by hiding nonsense expenses. Responding by saying "you can opt out" is not reasonable or appropriate. The NINE must stop forcing kids to buy product they can get for free."

"One word: ROACHES. It’s been an ongoing infestation since move-in day, and management has not been responsive at all. This is not “luxury,” it’s disgusting."

"Paying my third year of rent on time, get the new payment Aug 1 and it’s up almost 40%. My son signed the lease late but we had a family emergency. Not one person will get back to us or respond to fix the rent. Pay on time and you get it shoved you know where."
