As a tenant at Archer apartments for 2.6 years, I feel my review is more than accurate…read more Short story: If you absolutely cannot find anything cheaper and do not want roommates, it is ok. All of the five stars reviews are from broke college kids trying to win $250 (attached screenshot below of the bribery). Be prepared for homeless people dumpster diving daily (around 4pm to be exact), unreliable community washer and dryers, a pool which is rarely useable, and your car being broken into. Additionally, when your lease does end, remember it is a "term" lease so despite being asked to move out by noon on July 21st, you will still have to pay the whole rent for July and end up having two rents for July like me. Also do not expect your security deposit back and plan to owe Rent Athens additional money despite the condition of your apartment. Summary All of this to say, archer apartments are at best two stars. It is cheaply made and Rent Athens could not care less about the property or any of their tenants. There is no reward or thank you for paying your rent early or on top every single month for nearly three years; in fact, you will be punished for simply living in the apartment at your move out. If you can afford anything more, I would recommend going with anyone other than Rent Athens.

The worst possible experience I could ever imagine with a realtor. They have absolutely ZERO care…read morefor the health and safety of their tenants. 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.

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.

Signed a lease with this group last month. Stephanie was very helpful as we signed our lease- she…read morewas friendly and patient as I had a lot of questions with the lease and asked for receipts and a few things in writing even though it was approaching 5pm on a Friday. The master bedroom of our house had an original paint color that was eccentric but well maintained. We requested it be repainted to something neutral, and Stephanie made sure it was repainted. Not that big of a deal, but they technically did not have to repaint it so we appreciated the extra effort and the bedroom is much more comfortable now. I submitted a work order and it was fixed the next day, which is surprising given that it is approaching turn season. I appreciated the fast turn around time. Only time will tell how our overall experience goes, but so far things have been good. On just a final note, one review says something rather nasty about Stephanie and I haven't found that to be true in any capacity. I don't know her personally but she was easy and generally pleasant to work with. I'd recommend to anyone that if you attempt to be kind and easy going, you generally get the same response in turn. If you approach a situation flaring angry you likely won't get anywhere. Rating 4 stars due to a problem during the move in process with the removal of construction materials- but this isn't even worth getting into. The problem was handled after a few weeks and through a few firm emails on my part. I look forward to remaining a tenant with this group.

While they were there, they shattered a lamp in my room and broke several other things. I reached out afterward and was told they would reimburse me for the replacement. I bought a new lamp, sent them the receipt like they asked, and then never received the reimbursement. It was incredibly frustrating to have people enter our house without warning, damage my belongings, and then not follow through after saying they would make it right. I would not rent from this company again.

Towards the end of my lease I was locked out of my room, where my 6 month old dog was in her crate. I called Fred's to receive a master key to get back into my room. Long story short, their master key did not open my door, the FHP employee left shortly after that and provided no help or answers. I hired a locksmith to get into the room. The locksmith then told me that the door knob and lock was broken and not functioning correctly. Fred's did not reimburse me for the locksmith even though their handle and lock was broken. Shortly after my roommates and I moved out, we received $1500 back of our security deposit which was $11,250. Fred's charged us for broken appliances a lot. The most frustrating part was that every time an appliance stopped working, we filed a work order to get the appliance repaired. FHP neglected our requests and ended up charging us for these things instead. There are countless other instances where I have been dissatisfied with FHP. They've been running the Athens downtown living community for many years now and know how to squeeze every dollar out of their residents as possible. Please be aware of how frustrating and disappointing FHP will be if you do sign a lease agreement with them.
