Before you consider moving to Hollywood ...
Before you consider moving to Hollywood Square, please read this review for awareness. I lived at Hollywood Square for three years and it was not a place I could call home. The landlord, Charle, was disrespectful and threatened eviction over misunderstandings. My unit was infested with roaches, and pest control visits didn't resolve the issue. They even charged $50 for a copy of my lease.
Management changed frequently, with three different managers in three years. Emma and Carolina, the latter two, were kind but hampered by corporate policies. Maintenance was slow; a bathroom leak took weeks to fix, and a roach-infested stove was replaced with a used one after a week.
Security was poor. My car was towed from my assigned spot due to lack of a weekend parking decal, and there were frequent car break-ins and vandalism. Guest parking was limited to once every seven days.
When I lost my job and applied for rental assistance, Hollywood Square refused it and filed for eviction, even though I was only 10 days behind on rent. They sent me text messages like “Good morning. It’s eviction day” and threatened eviction over being short 50 cents on rent.
Living there was stressful and affected my mental health. Management cared only about collecting rent, not addressing maintenance or security concerns. The pool has been closed for over a year with no reopening in sight.
I strongly advise against moving here. The rent may be affordable, but the living conditions and impact on your mental well-being are not worth it. If you want to know more, feel free to email me. I will post pictures of text messages, screenshots of issues, and conversations weekly for awareness. Ask any tenant and you'll likely hear similar complaints.
They also own properties on Washington Street (Nautica) and Sheridan Street (Key West). Be cautious of anything with "Rent Hollywood" branding.
This review is not malicious, just an honest account. Tenants deserve better treatment and maintenance. Hollywood Square is a revolving door, and this is the truth about living there.
You can ask anyone there you will hear the same thing or even worse. Run and don’t look back
