Fridge stopped working on a Friday
Reviewed on 2021-03-27T20:47:00
Fridge stopped working on a Friday. I put in work order and called Saturday morning to see if anyone was coming by.Was told they only work on emergencies on the weekends and this does not qualify as one. Screw the fact that all the food I need for my kids will go bad but the meds that need to be kept refrigerated will go bad as well. How is this NOT an emergency? Rent is due this week and now I’ll have to find a way to buy more groceries and meds to top it off. Horrible horrible place.

BEWARE --- FLOODED WITH FRAUD PROPERTIES
Reviewed on 2021-03-13T19:23:39
BEWARE --- Very poor website for eliminating FRAUD postings. Listings are outdated.They also get listing feeds from RentLinx, but when a FRAUD posting is removed from RentLinx, it remains on ForRent. ALSO-- I have reported 8 different FRAUD properties via their online reporting mechanism...and 2 weeks later the FRAUD properties are still not deleted.
As a result, the website is flooded with FRAUD listings.

Reviewed on 2020-09-27T12:12:53
This website is very unreliable with regard to active house listings. Most listing are significantly outdated.That is, many of the listings are for properties that were already rented out or sold (and removed from MLS listings) weeks ago. So, when you contact the listed agents they either do not respond or tell you the house is not available anymore. One agent told me the listing I reached out about was taken off the market 1 month prior. She also told me that this website does not update its data as it should so she often gets contacted about properties that were taken off the market weeks prior.

New owners that aren't responsive to tenants and multiple have left. Construction noise and blocking of alley daily by building under construction behind us and Key Arena 2 blocks away.Homeless shelter leaves people crashing around the area when can't get into shelter across the street and security cameras don't appear to be working under new owners.

So Glad I made the right choice to live at Lakeside V!
Reviewed on 2019-08-21T14:16:13
I have been residing at Lakeside V via Tonti New Orleans for a little over a year but have been a Tonti New Orleans (Golden Key)resident for four now and love the excellent staff, their professionalism and their inviting manner. The community I live in is clean, spacious, and safe to live in. If ever there is an issue in my apartment, their maintenance staff is there in an instant to resolve! I am always seeing a Security staff near by too, which secure my will to continue to reside and would recommend to others.
