Don't Make The Mistake I did!!!1
by Takemywordforit
I lived here for almost two years because my job was literally a block up the street.
The landlord "Tom" Sekhani is a racist man. He was sued by the U.S. Justice department for discriminating against women and children. Don't believe me? Go to any of the local TV station websites and search "Pecan Terrace". Tom had to pay a six-figure settlement because of his ILLEGAL practices. Tom also ripped me off by requiring me to pay for damage to the front door and he NEVER fixed it!!! One month left in my lease I was offered job out of state, Tom would not allow me to move. After I took pictures of the unfinished work & spoke to other tenants, I discovered he was discriminating against me by forcing me to pay for the damage, while allowing others (men) to not pay rent.
I left and moved out of state, Tom called my old job, had the city marshall's office call me out of state, to no avail because they couldn't legally do anything to me and because I didn't break the law.
I had to file my own discrimination/harrassment case with the state of Louisiana and I won!!! The case was settled in a matter of two weeks. Tom agreed, in writing, to not harass me, and to say I left in good standing because I was never late on rent, paid for work that was incomplete and harassed!!!!
He gets in everyone's business, he goes into apartments w/out announcing.
With that said, the grounds are well kept and because of his hatred for children, hardly any live there and it is very quiet. I'm sure that has changed since he had to pay the government and the people who he discriminated against!!
If you want a racist and hateful landlord, by all means, move there, but if you want piece of mind...stay away!!!!

WORST APT EVER
by Ragin Cajun 17
I would put negative stars if possible. THE ABSOLUTE WORST PLACE TO LIVE. The landlord is COMPLETELY CRAZY!! He wears a pin camera in his shirt to record all conversations. He HATES women. I lived here for a year with a roommate and it was the MOST HORRIBLE experience I have had. The landlord would go into your apartment when you left during the day. I know this because he broke some of our belongings when we weren't home. My roommate and I took the time to take down the hideous wallpaper in the bathrooms, and then painted the entire apartment, we didn't receive any compensation for that. He made us pay 2 separate pet fees a total of $600 on top of our original deposit even though it was not stated in the lease. And to top it off he didn't give us our entire deposit back!! I would strongly suggest that anyone considering these apartments RUN NOT WALK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!!!

Don't Waste Your Time!
by SweetAmyM
I would give this place no stars if possible!
I was looking for a cheap apartment and tried out this place. The landlord is so rude and its obvious he hates women. After seeing an apartment that was dark and stinky I just wanted to leave. But he wanted me to take an application. I thought that was funny because he was so rude to me. He told me that they do a check for criminal records and then he showed me someones criminal record! He actually held it up and showed me. I rented an apartment at a different place that cost much more but its worth it to me. I told them about the landlord and they knew all the bad stuff. And they told me its not legal for him to show someone elses record. I hope he gets sued!

Great Place for a Great Price
by RaginCajun2010
I have lived in this apartment complex now for 2 1/2 years and I am very happy with this place! It is a quiet place to stay, especially for a sutdent like myself who is serious about school! It is also a safe place to live! It is most defitnitley not a "high crime area" as stated in earlier reviews! The landlord is great and cares about his tenants! He checks up on them and makes sure that everything is going good! Those who have written bad reviews most likely did not comply to the lease! Everyone I know that lives in this complex has been here for a long period time (usually years) and that speaks for itself! And on top of all of the positive things to be said, it is an extremely affordable price!

nice place for a good price
by TDUP10
I have been living here for about 4 months. It is a very quiet place, great place to get some studying done. Everything is keep up pretty well. It is a great location and a good place for college students to stay. Its a place you can feel safe at.
