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!!!!
