Our latest adventure; my wife and I traveled from the West coast to apartment sit for our daughter and her pets while she does an externship. Sunday morning we notice water on the floor of the 2nd story apartment. A call to the after hours number was answered by Daisy(Joiner Management) and in less than two hours Miguel(Joiner Maintenance) was at our door to isolate the problem and start damage mitigation(this included downstairs mitigation as well). Miguel was here for most of Sunday. By 10am Monday a plumber was at our door and assessed what repairs were necessary. By 2pm the same day we had two plumbers and a new hot water tank being installed. The attitude the entire time from all involved was "we got you". We can't thank them enough. The way we were treated shows me our daughter is in good hands while living so far away from us. Thank you Joiner & Associates.

YOU DONT DESERVE EVEN ONE STAR…read more Ive moved 30 times in athens over the years, and Collegetown is THE WORST ive ever experienced. Here's a list of the ways they fucked me over. First, you give me only one day notice that someone's moving in, after living in the house by myself for 5 months. Second you send a cleaning crew at 11pm on a Friday night. It scared me, I was home alone. And you tell them the house is empty. Even tho I've been living here for FIVE MONTHS. You probably don't remember but the day I moved in you wouldn't let me into the house for over and hour because you neglected to tell me that no one else singed for the house, so I had to take my cat to a friends house and drive downtown to set up utilities before you'd let me in. You also had promised me free rent for a two months because you wanted a sign a tenant with a dog. And you never communicated to me that that tenant decided not to sign. Until I moved in AND ASKED ABOUT UT. You take forever to respond to maintenance requests. I wasn't able to get into my mailbox for nearly a month after moving in! The cleaners come back UNANNOUNCED, and touched stuff in my room - folded all my bed sheets and blankets. Why did they need to do that? This isn't housekeeping. It's strangers touching my stuff. They didn't even vacuum. Third new tenant moved in without you telling me. Everytime I've been I. The office, everyone is sitting around doing nothing. Won't even greet me u til I walk up to them and say something My housemates don't have mail keys because you couldn't keep track of them. We, as tenants, should not be punished for your incompetency. It's your responsibility to have keys for us. I had to set up all utilities in my name because Collegetown did not do it even though I specifically asked and they said they would take care of utilities. One of my roommates isn't able to pay any of the bills for FOUR MONTHS , and now I have to cover it even thought I can't afford to. It's more than $500. I don't have the money and will be broke and won't be able to pay my new rent. I can't sleep cuz I'm so stressed and have been this entire past year with them. Collegetown has caused me SOOOOOO much stress, even after moving out, and I can't get away from the stress.

To start with there was a huge hole in the steps leading to her second story apartment which made it unsafe to move in. Also 2 other areas of wood rot. When we went back to rent Athens they acted like it was no big deal but we were there with all of her belongings in a U-Haul and unable to move in until those repairs were made. Upon move in we literally had to clean the entire apartment ourselves. There was dust on the ceiling stains in the fridge and cobwebs in the air vent and the carpet was dirty and smelled. One of the windows didn't close all the way and you could see outside with the door closed because there was a huge gap. Also the blinds were replaced in the front window with blinds that didn't fit. So anyone could see in on either side. The deck outside was full of garbage and what appeared to be pet feces and/or dried up vomit. There was numerous requests to have this cleaned,RentAthens just deleted the request. There is no way that someone professionally cleaned this apartment before move in. The bifold doors in the laundry room did not close because they were not correctly installed. I repaired that. She moved out early and paid her remaining two months. The apartment was far cleaner when she moved out than then when she moved in. Rent Athens kept over half of her security deposit citing things like scuffs on the wall, dirty range hood, and said that there were anchor holes in the walls. We even commented on move in that there was already holes so we could hang curtains so I know that they were already there when she moved in. I can almost guarantee based on the condition of the rest of the apartment that the range hood was dirty when we moved in as well. ( we just checked to see if the fan came on) everything was pretty much dirty so we didn't note that. I had to clean all the cabinets as well in the kitchen because they were covered with old grease and grime. There was no filter in the air vent and it was full of cobwebs and dust. My advice is to get a professional inspector to come out if you expect to get any of your deposit back and make videos and save receipts of all the money you have to put in to make it livable. The carpet was vacuumed at best. It still smelled of dog. I can understand paying a standard fee to shampoo the carpets IF it was actually being done. This company is taking advantage of these college kids. All I can say is make sure you take extra paper and take lots of notes because they will try to charge you for things that were already there and cleaning things that obviously they don't clean.Try to avoid this company! Some photos from our move in: I spent a week cleaning and repairing some of the small things. And they charged her $50 for a scuff on the wall that I don't even see on our move out photos. I also cleaned the stain out of the fridge and the deck was clean when she moved out. (My daughter and her boyfriend did it with a scrub brush). So I don't know what charge that would be if a "scuff" is $50. The place was in far better condition than when they moved in. Beware of this company!!

Riner Gay was our property manager, and he frequently swept major issues under the rug with zero urgency, constantly stating it'll "get done when we can get it done" and "there's only so much I can do". He promoted an extremely negligent and unsafe atmosphere as the property manager, rarely showing any sort of remorse for the immense amount of issues with our home. We had our water cut off for over a week in the middle of December due to them not properly labeling where the water meter and lines were, as some workers cut it. He showed ZERO care, urgency, or apologies, and advised to find somewhere else to shower and clean my clothes in the middle of winter. We had our dilapidated home quite literally fall apart, as the moldy attic and roof caved in in our kitchen, resulting in weeks (probably a month or so) of an open ceiling in our kitchen. Again, they frequently called our work orders towards it "not mold" even though mold was found after the water damage became so severe our ceiling caved in. We had been placing water damage requests for over a year. Not to mention multiple studio apartments had zero ac for weeks to almost 2 months in the summer, with no coordination or response from maintenance on when that it would be fixed Maintenance requests for any reason were frequently ignored and not addressed in any sort of timely manner. During a storm a rotten tree next to our home collapsed, resulting in a dangerous hanging tree on a power line for months until a resolution (did not even take it all off the line). They never even actively cared to fix it, Riner just said they were "aware of the situation" and "vendors have been notified". Not to mention the home was NOT clean when we moved in, doors were off hinges (replaced multiple times in 2 years), literal holes in the wooden floor, loose caulk and paint everywhere, etc. They charged us for these holes in the terrible finished and placed wooden floor after we left too. We even made multiple attempts to respectfully go in and talk to both Riner and other managers at Carriage House, where they made every attempt to shoo us away and show no care in the slightest. We made multiple reports to the GA Dept of Community Affairs about Carriage House and their shady business practices to no avail. They very rarely answer the phone, and you have to spam them with voicemails and calls before they even attempt to respond, frequently patronizing you and gaslighting you into thinking you are the issue. We as students were exploited and taken advantage of in any way possible imaginable, viewed with irritancy as pests, not as paying tenants. I cannot stress enough, Riner Gay and Carriage House Realty do NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! I genuinely believe they paid some people to give positive reviews, as these practices are company wide, and I have heard many horror stories from others about CHR. They will exploit you in every way possible to make money, and I would advise you to read this and think long and hard before ever entering any sort of lease or contract with them. I'd give negative stars if it was possible.

I've lived here for two years and had a bad experience from day one. Decent apartments with a very…read morerude and unprofessional leasing office. The apartments will NOT look like the pictures. The pictures show black upgraded appliances with nice hardwood floors. My hardwood floors are patchy and almost green. The appliances are all white and clearly from the 1900s. The ceilings all have water stains. I wasn't allowed to walk through the unit until move in day and was very disappointed. There are three women in the leasing office. None of them will have the same answer for you on anything. They rarely respond to emails and are rude and abrasive when they do (specifically Ivy and Deanna). I once waited over 11 days for a response to an email even after 3 follow up phone calls. As soon as they have your money they could care less about you. The apartments WILL smell of weed. Many tenants smoke outside and it will come through your AC and stink up your rooms. The leasing office can't really help with this either since smoking is allowed outside. One pro is Maintance response time. They'll come quickly! But con: lots of cheap fixes and no communication. I once requested maintenance for rust in the dishwasher and they simply sanded the rust off. I asked for caulk to be replaced in the shower and they simply didn't come or respond. Instead they told my roommate it was a cleaning issue. Emergency maintenance is a joke. It'll take 2-4 hours for them to come and they'll complain TO YOU that they have to come. It once reached 95 degrees due to broken AC in my apartment and they refused to come for 2+ hours. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
