We only rented from Steven's Realty as a last resort. We already knew they had a bad reputation,…read morebut we didn't know it was going to be this bad. And now that we've lived it, we feel like it's our responsibility to warn others: rent from them only if you have absolutely NO other choice. Here's what we experienced: * We were given only one working key at move in. The others left for us (that they left in our mailbox and didnt bother to tell us about btw) didn't even work, which is both a security risk and a basic failure of preparation. * Our front door DOESNT EVEN SHUT, weve been trying to get it fixed for the month and 2 weeks weve been here, the fix they DID do was half assed, and on the 4th the door stopped closing AGAIN and that night one of our kitties escaped and we havent seenn her since. You can literally see chunks of light through the gaps and when it rains, water pools inside the duplex. * The apartment reeked of wet dog due to uncleaned carpets, something we raised concern about multiple times before signing the lease and signed only under terms of the carpett being odor free. We were promised it would be addressed. It wasn't. Even after move in, we followed up again and they did nothing. The office ghosted us, ignored work orders, and took zero accountability. We have full documentation and photos of everything. This wasn't just miscommunication,this was neglect. I didnt even MENTION the roaches!!! If you're even thinking about renting from Steven's Realty, please know: You'd be better off doing week to week at a motel than signing a lease with these people. We do not recommend them under any circumstance. Unless you're absolutely out of options. We're sharing this to save someone else the stress, the health risks, and the total lack of support we are going through. You deserve better than this.

I selected a one star rating because Yelp does not offer a minus 50 star rating. Stevens is the…read moremost unprofessional, unethical, uncaring, hypocritical company I have ever dealt with in my entire life. They refused to address issues of mold in 3 rooms, leaking a/c unit that caved in the wall beneath it, but wanted to charge me $75 twice a year to do inspections. Had tocall the fire department to report the a/c unit as it was leaking into a wall outlet which presented a fire hazard. The mold was a bad health hazard which resulted in several health conditions on my part. They want over $1400 for cleaning costs to an apartment they are gutting to remodel. They have even stated repeatedly they had no knowledge of the problems even though it was their inspectors who reported them twice a year. All Stevens is interested in is how much money they can extort from their tenants. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE LYING CHEATING HYPOCRITES ! The apartment is listing as $ 850 a month to rent plus ** Mandatory Charges on top of Base Rent *** Electric = $65/month Water = $35/month Internet = $45/month Renters Insurance = $14.99/month Smart Home Automation = $14.95/month Community Perks Benefit Package = $2.99/month Total charges = $ 177.93/month See below for more details Plus nonrefundable application fee and $200 nonrefundable smoking fee and a nonrefundable pet fee of $300 per pet.

I don't have a clue why they are even in business because they sure don't manage anything! We have…read morebeen leasing a private property through them for almost five years now and anytime we have a major issue requiring them to repair or replace something on the property it takes several days just to get them on the phone. It should be a law in the state of Tennessee if a tenant isn't allowed to contact a repairman for service in an emergency then the management office should have an emergency contact number. Once you do get someone on the phone pray that its not Bill Shreckengost the owner because he is so incapable of handling anything that you are likely to have a stroke just trying to get him to understand what you are saying! They run this office only part time and at one point I overheard one of the office staff say they were managing close to 1000 properties in the area. Well with there hands off, phones off style of property management I guess they might be able to mishandle that many! We are very satisfied with our property, just extremely dissatisfied with what we have to go thru and the conditions we have to deal with trying to get this lame excuse for a company to do what its getting paid to do.
