    WATCH OUT!! I have never lived in lake butler apartments, however have friends and family that have. Always thought of a decent affordable family apartments. Until the current manager, Michelle Thurman took over. Right away it was clear she didnt care about doing things right. She invades privacy, and will slander your name and you never even have to be a resident. I would spent time with family for no more than a weekend at a time, she took pictures of my tags, went on social media sites took personal photos and even went as far as calling my landlord. All for personal vendettas. Her "inspections" are not looking for normal wear and tear of the property, she wants to come in and tell you about the dust in top of your closet or the dishes in the sink to try to humiliate human beings. I wouldnt recommend ANYONE to move there while still be controlled by Michelle Thurman. I personally think she uses her manager role as power throne. She will literally stop at nothing to try to control and degrade the tenants. I pray for her, as well as anyone who lives there.

    I have always thought Lake Butler apartments to be one of the best to live in among all the apartments within our little community however I'm sad to say this is absolutely no longer the truth!!! This sad truth rest upon the current manager/landlord Michelle Thurman. She seems to take pride in hurting and taking advantage of the poor, sick and elderly that have no way to truly defend themselves against her spiteful ways. However her malicious acts do not discriminate only to the elderly, she will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of anyone that she has the "upper hand" with. She clearly uses and abuses her position to those living in this public housing authority she supervises. She will makes up lies and gossip about one tenant to other tenants in the apartment complex. She bullies her tenants with threats of eviction when 99% of the tenants that make up the population in this complex have absolutely no where else to turn. She has no problem sleeping at night knowing she has put sick, elderly, disabled adults and poor innocent children out on the curb homeless simply because she doesn't like you, or because you've stood up for yourself when she has tried to bully or threaten you. She harasses, bullies and threatens her tenants on a regular basis. I have proof she went to a previous tenants son in laws Facebook page and printed pictures of him from his personal social media site (the son in law did not even reside on the premises) and printed them out making false claims and accusations against the tenant. She will make up false documents/noncompliance paperwork, never have a signature from the tenant proving the tenant was aware of such paperwork then claim the tenant never complied with stated course of action. She is very unprofessional to say the least and nothing short of a negative reflection of this particular housing authority. I will go even further to say she reflects negatively not only to the apartment complex but to our entire community that I have always cherished and loved. Are the leaders in our small town what she is made of? Are we willing to let this woman hurt and destroy so many lives in our community? Who would want to move into or continue residing in a community that allows one of our leaders to treat our elderly so poorly, she truly is a black hole in our tight knit, loving community who stops at nothing to help a neighbor in need. While we try to help those who are down, poor or hurting she stops at nothing to not only put them on the street but tries to limit/destroy their future possibilities of housing with other public housing authorities with lies and deceit. I assume living in this apartment complex would be better than being homeless but be ready for all of her drama, deceit, harassment and threatening behavior because like I stated earlier her malicious acts know no bounds and don't plan on staying long term or making this home because I PROMISE she will come for you too, it's only a matter of time before you too will "rub her the wrong way" She even goes as far as to dictate what you're "allowed" to wear to your mailbox to check your mail. She will tell you to go home and put on day clothes before checking your mail or coming into the office 🧐 I mean really, who does that?! She is seriously on a "power trip" and just an awful person to deal with. PLEASE for your sake, if you have other housing options do yourself a favor and skip right over this one!

    If there was any way possible I wouldn’t give this POS apartment complex any stars! Michelle Thurman, the “manager” of this place is an evil human being for what she does to innocent, loyal, long time tenants and she will gets what’s coming to her. All she cares about is making innocent people’s lives miserable, probably because she has a miserable life herself! If I were you I would never consider moving here because she won’t care about anything but herself, she will even stoop as low as letting you live with infestation of bugs! My mother in law has lived here for years and for some unknown awful reason Michelle had my mother in law removed from the place she has called home for so many years because...why?!?! Who the heck knows!! She makes up false documents, takes photos from peoples personal social media pages (photos/memories of spending time with family) just to use against an innocent woman to kick her out, leaving her with no place to call her own! It’s like family and friends can’t even come there to visit, you'd think this place would welcome family and friends openly, instead of treating it as a "do not enter" dwelling. Well jokes on you Michelle Thurman, she’s got family that loves her and she is gonna thrive through this and you will wish you had kept a loyal tenant like her!!

    Michelle Thurman, the current manager is a very unstable person! My mother in law lived here for 20 years and was wrongly giving 5 days to be out of her home! My mother in law is a disabled older woman who would help anyone! Because of my mom's health i went and stayed 2 nights with her due to being ill, my mother was served a write up with a picture of my car and tag!!! Michelle then walked around the complex asking whos car this was! Even trying to be respectful saying good morning she will just look at you and keep walking! Michelle stated out of her own mouth"she only wants Correctional officers living there! Also when she kicked another person out the other tentents was trying to help the old disabled woman out michelle stated" if they did help her move her stuff they would be kicked out too! Many calls have been made to her bosses and nothing has been done! Very evil lady ! Not a good place to live or visit as long as Michelle is running it!

    They have removed the bad manager, about time! Now you can live in peace here!The current manager, well she is over balanced and controlling. Your best friend, when you first meet. She has talked about all the residents and their personal problems. She will not let you live in peace! Sooner or later it will happen. The corporate office will not do anything with her. And they will let her listen to your complaints!. Best just pass this one by, you'll be glad. There are 48 unit's here, she has been here for 3 year's. Evicted over 60 families, often for no good reason. Let's her favorite people break all the rule's with nothing said. Even letting people live on property with out being on the lease's as they make too much to even live here! That's the way ms. Thurman role's. Might be on the good list but tell her she's wrong about something or do something she does not like, like dressing in short's. Very unprofessional person!!!! She even enlisted several tenants to write good reviews to off set the truth. Until she is gone not a good place to live. If you do move in you will see what I am trying to warn you about!!!!!

    I have lived here for going on 6 years! In the beginning my friends and family were scared to come to my apartment because of all the "activity" here. Then came Michelle and even having ups and downs throughout my stay she has been more then understanding and helpful! That woman would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. The grounds are well maintained and there are constant improvements happening to make this a better community. I am very grateful to be able to stay here with my 3 children and not be worried about our safety. Our apartment is so much nicer than it was when I first moved in with new carpet, flooring, paint, and appliances. The laundry room used to be a dump that no one wanted to use and now it looks amazing, and I love doing my laundry here! Michelle even leaves laundry soap for tenants that may not be able to afford it at the time. This place has really turned around and even though it is hard to follow the rules sometimes they are set in place out of concern and respect of all the tenants. Now if only a new park would be put in, I think that would top the cake lol

    I have had nothing short of a great experience here. The staff is very helpful and very pleasant. The property manager mrs Michelle has been nothing but extremely helpful and extremely nice to me and my family. She helped us get into an apartment when we had nowhere else to go and we love it here. Michelle has been the best property manager I've ever dealt with. Her and these apartments have done nothing but help us and provide us with a wonderful place to live. I would recommend these apartments to anybody.

    This is a very good place to live it's cheap and nice other people rate 1 star for almost no reason. I get that the manager is trying to keep the place clean and doesnt want the place destroyed and that's why most rate 1 star. If you do something wrong you get a warning but your not kicked out straight away. Their are a few bad rules but mostly good ones to make sure the neighborhood is nice. One of the rules is that you cant be too loud so others aren't annoyed. But you cant go out in your pajamas which is a little demanding for no reason.
