Lanier Management - Savannah, Georgia

Lauren E.

My boyfriend and I are planning a move from Texas to the Savannah, GA area. We have been calling Lanier Management for over an hour regarding a home they have listed on Zillow. We simply wanted to see if the home was still available for rent. We have called multiple times, left detailed voicemails, emailed, and even sent messages on Zillow. We cannot get ahold of anybody with this company for a simple yes or no answer. This is the kind of place you do not want to rent from as they will not be responsive to any needs or issues you may have as a renter. Steer clear if you’re a tenant looking to rent from this company!

Hurricane Helene's winds caused a 80 foot heavy pine tree to fall from our backyard of the house we rent on Isle of Hope onto the front driveway, lying across the house. The tree crushed the roof, electrical box, it downed wires and caused ceiling damage in two rooms plus exterior brick and front porch damage. The tree also destroyed our two cars which were parked in the front driveway. We reported the damage ASAP, first via the emergency phone number. Being a weekend we could not directly contact the office until Monday morning, and we did as soon as it opened. We expected repairs would take weeks, if not a month or more to be completed. Lanier responded in such a way that was beyond our expectations, and work began almost immediately to remove the fallen tree and begin extensive repairs. The tree was removed in sections, over 30 rafters were replaced, the electrical work was done in tandem with Ga Power and ceilings repaired & painted to where the look new. The crew, roofers and all worked from 0700 until dark for days under the leadership of Chris, a professional gentleman who was pleasant to have on site. The interior crew took pains to protect our furniture and when their job was finished they cleaned and left the house in immaculate condition. The roofers did a fine job, too, working briskly every day for a week. A construction dumpster was parked in the driveway, filled to the brim and it was removed shortly after the "big job" was over. To look at our house now after the excellent work that Lanier's dedicated crew completed one would never know it was nearly destroyed by the falling pine. All of our maintenance requests have been answered and handled in a timely manner in the three years we've rented this house, from minor to hurricane. We do our best on our end to maintain and keep the house and property clean and landscaped twice a month and we appreciate Lanier's swift response to Helene's damage. This is a 5 star review.

Lanier management is terrible, Teri Kennedy is the worst manager I’ve ever met. I followed the procedure of moving out afterwards She sent me an email of the charges and I called her for two weeks leaving voicemails and she finally picked up after 3 weeks. I moved out & I’m hit with such Fraudulent move-out charges: $50 to replace a 9volt battery in a smoke detector, $25 to remove “bulk trash” when the trash that was left can fit in a grocery store plastic bag(closet air freshener, oven mitten, airpod case. Please see pictures. I tried to explain to Teri Kennedy what bulk means but she don’t comprehend well at all. $25 to remove a sticker from the door that you can just peel off & to clean the front door from natural dirt and debris( really not paint or anything like that just natural dirt from the wind and landscaping). $45 to replace a light fixture that wasn’t broken, it was just removed, a light fixture that you can just screw back on in less than five mins.. we live in 2022 and ppl dont have it like that & this apt complex is very far from upsclae just look at the cheap stove that don’t even have an oven light and for them to charge what they’re charging is ridiculous and wrong. AVOID LANIER MANAGEMENT & TERI KENNEDY AT ALL COSTS!!!

Like others, I spoke evil of Lanier. I was wrong and apologized to Mrs. Lanier, because she was very flexible in allowing me extra time to leave. What was my home is dilapidated and will be demolished.

I have been renting a lovely home from Lanier for almost 9 months. They were INCREDIBLY easy to work with on the front end. And, they’ve been super-attentive to my needs as a tenant.

I would recommend ANYBODY looking for a rental in their service area to start with Lanier.

Lanier is the worst management company to rent from. They honestly don’t care about you. They retain properties just to have them and in turn kicking out people just the leave the place empty after they gain ownership of the property. They will also never actually fix anything you need them to while also continuously raising the rent higher and higher while ignoring repair and maintenance requests. These people are slum lords.

EDIT: since I can not reply to Lanier via this review I’ll let them know I lived at a property they bought and evicted me from just because. They didn’t renovate it or anything right away. They didn’t move anyone into the property after evicting me. That property sat empty and with all of the items I had to leave behind due to the nature of the urgency for me to leave, sat empty for an entire year or more.

By the way I was never formerly served an eviction before the warrant to evict was taped to my door. I don’t care what *anyone* says I never signed a certified letter. All the while I’m paying rent to someone!

AND the comments I made about them rising rent without fixing anything.. this was what was told to me by people living in their properties. After doing some investigating on this company I met both people knew and didn’t know that have all said that these people will almost double your rent without fixing anything that needs attention. I started digging to educate myself about this history of the practices about this company to better understand why they would just eject someone from a house who is actively paying rent without taking the time to explain to them exactly what was going on. The things uncovered about them are all your basic landlord horror stories, these people don’t care about their tenants. Period.

They are evil and down right shady.

Oh, but I did contact you. You tried to say I owed thousands, I informed you about the applicable state law we agreed to in our contract and you threatened to sue me and I told you I looked forward to seeing you in court.... that was the end of it. Never heard from you again. I'm sure your "legal team" corrected your ignorance and ineptness because you couldn't sue me if you tried. You would've owed me. Ha!! That was years ago. According to all these NEW terrible reviews you have done nothing but get worse. It's pathetic and trashy. Mr. Marion was a good man and you have ruined his name. Shame!

Rude receptionist that could not care less about whether you rent from them or not. She constantly talked down to us and made us feel like a huge inconvenience just to pick up keys and tour places ON OUR OWN. Thank God we found Pam T Property Management because not only did Brittany actually care if we went through them to find our home, she was FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE, had a great PERSONALITY. These are all traits you will not find in the rude receptionist who made looking at properties through Lanier Management a miserable experience. Absolutely disgusted by her attitude and the way she talked to us. Really sad thing is, her boss probably has no idea how awful she is.
