If you like ANY of following: (1) huge roaches (2) paper-like thin wall (3) unreasonable landlord and her family (all the staff are her relatives) who constantly disturb you & falsely accuse you of things you did not do without any evidence (4) cannot open windows (5) lengthy meeting with landlord to listen to her family issues that were none of your business, congratulations!! Mi Casa (Garrett Properties) have ALL OF THEM. (1) HUGE ROACHES: Although they claim to have pest control, the building is very old, and the door cannot be completed closed. What’s worse, the landlord and staff would NOT ALLOW you to attach anything to door or wall, so you will keep having huge roaches coming inside your house. Even if you complain to Garrett Properties, they will say it is normal when the weather gets cold and do NOTHING. It is not normal at all!! I had experiences living in other places in Athens and never had this problem. (2) PAPER-LIKE THIN WALL: The wall is as thin as a paper, so you can hear the noises from THE WHOLE BUILDING. My neighbors did not party, so I didn’t blame them. The problem was caused by the thin wall that makes you hear neighbors’ TV sounds, chatting, and even the sounds they made when taking showers. (3) UNREASONABLE LANDLORD WHO CONSTANTLY DISTURBS YOU: Please! Please! Please! Please search for “landlord” in other reviews!!! I did not, and I was paying for that. I once thought it doesn’t matter since I am a quiet person who does not party and always obey rules. However, what I did not expect was that the landlord would falsely accuse you of things you did not do without any evidence and literally YELL AT YOU. After viewing others’ reviews, I realized that I was not the only victim. Maybe they just tried to take advantage of UGA students, especially international students, who will not complain. (4) CANNOT OPEN WINDOWS: Mi Casa (Garrett Properties) does not allow you to open your windows. If the landlord or the staff found you open your window (even when you are cooking, not allowed), you will immediately get an email from the office accusing you of violating the policies of Garrett Properties, which is ridiculous. (5) LENGTHY MEETING WITH LANDLORD: Even if you are a quiet and clean person who behaves, you will still have a high chance of being falsely accused of random things from opening the windows to events that you did not even participate in. What’s worse, the landlord would call your personal phone and request to meet as if you were a criminal. The meeting will take at least 0.5 to 1 hour and will not get to the point at all. Since the landlord always makes false accusations and never has evidence, the only thing she can do is yell at you. If you have lots of time and the time doesn’t matter to you, living here will give you plenty of chances to meet with the landlord and listen to her family issues that are totally none of your business. If you only want a short summary of my comment, I would say DO NOT live here unless you have no place to stay. Look elsewhere, you will have happier housing experience in Athens.

A sewage pipe burst this winter and it took weeks to fix. The area by the unit by East Cloverhurst Avenue was a smelly, muddy mess - so was the sidewalk students use to walk to UGA. Not good - especially for such a nice historical neighborhood. And who is the creepy blonde lady who works there and walks around the parking lot peeking into windows?! While the location is great, there are probably cleaner and safer places to rent in Athens near the university.
