Royal Coast Apartments in Palmetto Bay, FL

I lived at Royal Coast apartments in 2009 and management was wonderful and I received my deposit back with no issues once my lease was up and decided to move. I know since then management has changed a few times. It was quiet and comfortable place to live and affordable rent at that time. Very clean and any issues inside apartments maintenance was there to resolve issues a few days later. They did have several inspections during the year. I can only speak on the time frame I live there. I’m sure a lot has changed since then and I was actually thinking of moving back even though rent prices have drastically increased. So first I decided to check out recent comments to get an idea of management experiences and the overall comments of living there again since I’ve moved.

Worst management ever. Tenant violations galore.nThey go in your apartment without permission all of the time. They have random inspections several times a year, which when I called the city to inquire, there is only one scheduled inspection a year by the city and it is usually between January and March. They start sending lease renewal letters 6 months before your lease is up and use that as an excuse to keep on going in for those 6 months. Many neighbors have reported jewelry missing, break ins after inspections, and personals misplaced. There is a horrible black mold infestation in most AC units. They randomly test your air, but refuse to share results. The manager (Danae is her name) is rude, and discriminates. She has attacked an elderly man because he reported the mold issue to her boss. She refused to renew a single mother's lease because she reported her to her boss. She refused to renew a mixed family's lease because they reported mold, warped floors and racial slurs to her boss. She picks on elderly tenants and refuses to properly do repairs in their apartments because she knows that their rent is under rent control and they have nowhere else to go. One elderly lady had her carpet soaped in water from the AC and mushrooms growing in the closet. Repairs can take months and even years to get fixed. She and her maintenance people keep files on tenants and what is in their apartments. They take pictures of your belongings and how your home is arranged when you are not home by the way. I was in the office once while she had boxes of files all around for renewal purposes, I peeked at a file which I thought was mine, and was horrified to see that they had detailed notes one tenant, her children, times that they are home, what cars they drove, what was in her closets, including pictures of her closets, and on and on. HUD and the city of Miami and the City of Palmetto Bay needs to investigate this property and reach out to all tenants, present and old. Some of the tenants got together and complained to The Related Group, the parent management company, and she denied everything and went after each tenant who complained one by one and refused to renew their lease. Some had been there for 7 to 10 years. I opted to not renew this year and happily moved out. I feel so much less stress as I no longer have to worry about people going through my things when i am not home. These people are criminals.nOh, try to have a respectful conversation about your issues in person with her. I suggest you record. She will first belittle you, then will deny conversations ever happened.

My wife and I have been living here at the Royal Coast condominium for more than 4 years. We are seniors and so far we are very happy with everything.nnThis is a very peaceful and nice neighborhood. The apartments are not expensive, are very good size and kept well maintained.nnThe workers are very friendly and courteous.nnThese apartments are very close to the Turnpike, just one block from U.S. 1 and a few miles from many restaurants and shopping centers.

the place is very good when you start to live but when you have to go they take away all the deposit and I do not recommend it even to my worst enemy. very bad

Stay away from this place! My mother has been living here and made the mistake to renew at beginning of the year and now they want to increase the rent every 3 months. She initially moved here for “low income” reasons and now they keep increasing the rent. Stay away!!
