Firstly, for this to be a veteran owned business, they treat other veterans like shit.
A WEEK Before I moved into this place, the water meter was still running and there was an orange tag on the doorknob stating that. I reported it to the office and after being assured the problem would be solved before I moved in, no one did anything about it. This resulted in me paying a high water bill for 3 months until I refused to stop calling about it. Turns out, not only was the water meter running, but there were leaks coming from the front and backyard spouts also increasing the charge. They took a month to fix that while wasting my money.
Around the summer time, my A/C stopped working. I went without air conditioning for another 3 weeks after putting in the work order. When someone finally came and looked at it they told me to leave it above 75 degrees until they can fix it. Summer heat in Texas is not reasonable for that solution so here I was yet again traveling to this office almost every day until someone put in for a coil clean. Imagine living in a place this hot with NO AC because these people don't care about you. Luckily, I don't have children so I just avoided being home.
The women in this office are unprofessional and absurdly rude. If you want to speak to someone understanding, ask for Jessica. However, there is Moreina Hodges who blatantly disrespected me while I was trying to speak with her- triggering my PTSD. She walked off mid-conversation after interrupting and rolling her eyes at me. Also, the office is very open for them all to chime in on a conversation at once, and the bookkeeper at the time snuck in a sly remark at me while I was speaking to someone else and when I turned to ask her what she had to say, she replied nothing and shut her door because she didn't think I heard her. Lashonda is who does the tours. She's always late and that was my first impression. I was told because my notice to vacate was sent on the 5th instead of the 1st, I would have to pay the next month's rent AFTER I move out. When I went up to the leasing office to get an understanding of this matter, Lashonda couldn't show me where in my lease it contained such nonsense. (I understand a late fee, but a whole month's rent, is greedy and desperate.) Teach these leasing agents their own lease so they don't look as stupid as she did when I left this pointless conversation.
I'm a Disabled Veteran with a service animal. They tried to decline my psychologist's letter to say he wasn't an authorized breed. BOXERS are not unauthorized breeds. (This was the discussion with Moreina) His paperwork says he is a Boxer mix and that is the paperwork I submitted from both the clinic and his adoption paperwork. These people drove to my house while I was gone to "examine" him and tell me that he wasn't what the paperwork said and they couldn't approve him to be here with me. I had to pull up service animal regulations and go BACK down there stating that they cannot refuse his being here with me with no valid reason/proof and they had no choice but to leave that situation be. However, the upkeep on these rental properties is nonexistent so I could not leave him outside alone else he would push up the backyard fence and leave. For the 3 years I've lived here, they have not fixed that issue, so I dealt with animal control numerous times.
Note in your lease, they have the authority to show up whenever they want and if you refuse to let them in, they can charge you a $45 TRAVEL fee. When I started moving out, Lashonda started touring my place with me still living in it. (I have her on camera breaking my backdoor lock so now I'm waiting for them to fix that so I can let my dog in and out without walking around the entire house.) On top of this, they would not send over rental verification to prospective units for me to move into making the process much slower to be approved anywhere. I emailed them every day until it was done.
Please listen to me when I tell you not to lease with these people. Please. read more
