Legacy at Tech Center Apartments

They threatened to sue me for the cost of a window that was vandalized while I was living there, a $370 charge. I filed a police report the day it happened. Had they burned down the whole place would I be expected to pay for the cost of the entire unit? Their property insurance ought to be covering this for them.

By far the worst place I ever decided to live. Rent is too much for the quality of the home. Also, they take their time with following up on maintenance request but are quick to tell you what your doing wrong. They watch and report everything you do from the guest you allow in your home up to how long they stay! The walls are very thin and always ridicule tenants for being to “loud”. Constantly have water bugs but charge you monthly for a pest fee. By far the worst decision I ever made. If you... want a stress free living situation DO NOT STAY HERE! Read More

Do not spend your hard earned money here.One of the absolutely worst places to live in Newport News , they have HUGE water bugs , they charge a So called “pest fee “ to your rent yet there are plenty water bugs around , their “newly renovated units” has nothing new , floors lift causing you to hurt your feet. We had a leak in our unit that we made them aware of they continued to argue that it was residual and “not a active leak “ until we called state on them regarding the issue. We then had... water underneath the dry wall that burst open so then they finally moved us out , DID NOT REIMBURSE US we paid every moving expense to the new unit because our lease was still active , the new unit was not better , 1month after living there washer stopped working, sinks would not drain and garbage disposal gave out. I know it’s a long rant but it’s the truth of our experience living there the rent is DEFINITELY not worth living there , Everyone works hard for their money and should not be spent at such a awful place.

This place is terrible. They WAY overcharge you and try to nickel and dime for EVERYTHING. They want to provide a "aesthetically pleasing community" however they neglect basic amenities like plumbing. The first month we moved in we had sewage back up into our bathtubs upstairs. This occurred at least 6 more times in 2 years. Yes, POOP IN OUR TUB 6 TIMES. On one instance it leaked through our ceiling to our dining room while we had guests over for dinner. We tried to call emergency maintenance... many many times but no one responded. I have never had issues like that in any place I've lived. And guess what? They said we caused it and charged us to fix it. Um excuse me, it literally happened our first month, this was obviously a preexisting issue.

Also, THE BUGS. Our place was constantly having issues with roaches, big and small. Which I am terrified of. We paid for pest control every month, however in order to get it, we had to call the office and get them to send the person out, (again, why is this my responsibility? every other place I've lived they take care of this). Even when I called to schedule it, they only came about 50% of the time (we have a RING so I can see when people come in and out). It was awful. I started a new habit of wearing slippers because I was terrified of accidentally stepping on a roach barefoot.

It is the community's responsibility to provide a decent living environment, not the tenants. If we had any other option to get out sooner we would have. I've lived a lot of places but never had so many issues. Read More

I lived her for 30 years. Apartment never painted. After I moved they charged me 500 for paint treatment. They have big waterbugs, rusty pipes and busted vent pipes, enormous water and sewer bills, slow waterflow in sinks, cracked waters and gap opening in front door which causes air draft (causing high electric bills). No maintenance followup after ceiling leaks. Apartments are remodeled on the surface. However Rusty pipes and electrical not repaired. New tenant had ceiling fall down due to... water and other issues after living there only one month. Chandler Residental Corp is the new owners. Bad customer relations. Apartments are over50 yrs old.
