Portland, OR, August 16, 2026 —
Students and families leasing apartments at The Radley, an off-campus housing complex serving the University of South Carolina, are reporting severe living condition issues. Multiple residents have described the state of the apartments upon move-in as “unlivable,” citing the presence of feces, cockroaches, and mold.
The reported problems include, but are not limited to, unsanitary conditions and pest infestations. These issues were discovered by students and their families as they began moving into the property, which is intended to house students attending the nearby university.
In response to the complaints, the property management for The Radley acknowledged that there had been significant issues with the vendors hired to prepare the apartments. According to the management, these vendors failed to complete the expected cleaning and painting tasks to the required standard. The exact timeline for when these vendor issues began or were identified was not provided.
The extent of the affected units and the total number of students impacted by these conditions have not been detailed. The property management’s statement confirmed that the problems were related to the failure of contracted vendors to fulfill their duties. Further details regarding remediation plans or compensation for affected residents were not immediately available.
