Can't say enough how disappointed I am after seeing a gorgeous place online and contacting James Bristol. Mid day, I called the number listed and was sent to voicemail (understandable) the voicemail said to send him a text, plus I received a text saying "in a meeting please text" So I sent a text requesting to look at a property with times I would be available. He sends me a very long message that seems automated or like and ad for the company so I figured I would call again, same thing, "in a meeting please text" so I text him again thinking maybe if I set the time aside to view the place, he would see it and respond or call back, he did not. Naturally though, I didn't want to risk not showing up and missing an opportunity to view the place and perhaps move in because I am aggressively looking to move. I show up and call him (8:30 am) and he send stage same message "in a meeting text me" after I start asking questions he FINALLY responds saying "you have to apply to view" and he told me that yesterday (that was not communicated) and "feel free to attend an open house or apply" after reading so many good reviews about this company I was happy to run across a property managed by them seeing as there are lots of impersonal people and bad companies here. It's unfortunate that I had to come across the one person who doesn't understand something as basic as "communication" if you don't have time to check and respond to a text message, that YOU asked for, you don't deserve me money. Maybe if I'd have spoken to the Sonia person everyone else posts about I'd be in the middle of a rental application and paying versus writing an honest review

Edit - I said he was there to fix the fridge in my review. I meant stove but we also had fridge problems that required maintenance.

FRAUD! As college students, we were pretty desperate to find an apartment close to campus. Our rental was located in the Fan and during the first year, there were minimal problems. However, the second year was a disaster. The summer after we renewed our lease the air conditioning stopped working. During the whole summer, the house was sweltering and maintenance said they couldn't do anything to fix it. By the fall the weather began to cool down but we also developed a MICE INFESTATION. Maintenance claimed they were coming from the residence next door that was attached to ours but couldn't do anything to remedy the problem. After several complaints to patch up some of the holes where the mice were coming in from, maintenance just began to ignore us. Next, our refrigerator began to stop working, maintenance was able to fix the issue but after they left our building THE MAINTENANCE MAN ASKED ME OUT TO DRINKS. I was so uncomfortable with the situation. When we finally were ready to discontinue our lease it was a nightmare. We gave notice of non-renewal months before the contract was to end and turned in our keys in July (the lease ended in July). We waited a month to receive our safe deposit but instead got a notice that they were SUEING US FOR AUGUST RENT. Again, our LEASE ENDED IN JULY. Not only did we have proof we turned in the keys we also had proof that the new tenants at the property had not only paid their security deposit but paid the rent for August. After countless phone calls, we got nowhere. The main office claimed they were looking for paperwork from their Richmond Office and the Richmond Office claimed they never had access to the papers. I adamantly inquired as to why suing me and my former roommates were justified by their office misplacing paperwork. After sending screenshots to the main office messages from the Richmond Office denying responsibility and threatening to sue for fraudulent business practices they finally dropped their case. We received our safe deposit another month after with an unknown deduction of $150.

Hope you're good at ice skating

Three Chopt, Near West End

Two months into my partnership with KeyRenter, and I couldn't be happier…read more From day one, the team set clear expectations and followed through every step of the way. Communication has been consistent and proactive--especially during the transition from my previous property manager, which could have been complicated but felt seamless. My tenant can now easily pay rent online, I have full visibility into payments and disbursements through the owner portal, and--most importantly--her account is now current, which has been a long time coming. After 23 years of working with property management companies, this has been my best experience by far. Highly recommend.

Update in photos. To…read morethose in RVA who own a property with tenants OR to who are currently looking for rental housing: I retract every positive statement that I've ever made about my property "management" company, Keyrenter Property Management Richmond. TLDR version of what's below: they are unorganized, have very questionable business practices, do not communicate well internally, will relay mixed messages to both owners and tenants, and will 100% drop you as a client like a hot sack of potatoes when it's inconvenient for them to do their job. What started out as a seemingly great arrangement has turned into an absolute nightmare. On July 6th, I received notice that my tenant of three years was not renewing her lease again. That same day, I sent a very casual reply email to KeyRenter saying that I was contacting my realtor to discuss the POSSIBILITY of selling vs continuing to rent. On July 13th, without speaking with me or confirming anything AT ALL, I was contacted by the general manager, Jeanine, with the tenant CCed in the email stating that they had sent her deposit to me and that I was taking over property management effective immediately. This was just as I was going to Alaska for ten days, so the timing was terrible and created a massive amount of stress as I struggled to get in touch with them to resolve it. They had "assumed" that I was listing the property right away, so simply dropping the last month and a half of their contract was apparently protocol. They apologized when they realized their blatant error, but they left the tenant's deposit in my possession and just told me I'd be responsible for disbursing it with 45 days of the tenant moving out. Then, while I was busy trying to sell my Palmyra house and buy another in less than a month, my tenant contacted me to tell me she got a $600 water bill. I immediately contacted KeyRenter and filed an emergency maintenance request on the tenant's behalf. My tenant works long shifts and doesn't have a lot of down time to sit on hold with Richmond Utilities, so I called them, and after an hour and a half on hold, I was told that only my tenant could speak to them about the bill or schedule a time for them to come out to the property. Almost a week passed, and KeyRenter did nothing. I then asked them to send a plumber to the property preemptively in case there was a problem that could worsen over time. Three days later, KeyRenter replied and brushed me off, saying that Richmond Utilities would handle it. After a second week passed, I asked again, and they finally sent out a plumber. Fortunately the source of the problem was that the toilet was continuously running, which was an easy fix. However, that still left my tenant on the hook for both her $600 bill and also the second (likely) large water bill she'll receive for the two weeks that elapsed prior to the toilet getting fixed, since KeyRenter neglected to send someone out sooner as I requested. After that situation, they told me that I would need to conduct my tenant's move-out walkthrough and collect the keys. I do not live nearby, and these kinds of things are what I hired a property management company to handle (move-out walkthroughs are listed as an included service on their site). I reviewed the entirety of my contract, and I emailed back pointing out that these things were specified nowhere in it, again asking them nicely to do their jobs and let me know when they had it scheduled. One person, Mary, provided me with the date that KeyRenter would be conducting this; Jeanine then replied saying that KeyRenter would not be conducting one at all and that I must have misunderstood an automated email. I forwarded her coworker's (not at all automated) email to her. After that time, everyone else stopped responding, and I was unfortunately left to deal only with her. She has since been disrespectful, dismissive, and not at all concerned with the predicament she's left me to handle or the awkwardness and inconvenience she's created for my tenant. I'm filing complaints both with the franchisor and with DPOR, and I cannot wait for them to experience the levels of panic and stress that they forced me to endure since the beginning of July. Per their website and what the owner claimed when I hired them, "You want to work with a company whose corporate values are an extension of their personal values. This principle is what has led KeyRenter Richmond to become an industry leader in our area. Our success stems from treating you the way we'd like to be treated. We focus on values, ethics, customer service, client satisfaction, innovation, quality, and personal service that gets results. When you work with us, you get access to a team whose foundation is built on integrity, honesty, and accountability. We genuinely care for our clients and the community they represent, and that is reflected in our care and service." This is all nothing but a bold-faced lie; do NOT fall for it like I did, and steer clear.

Instead of receiving a timely, professional response, I was met with delays and evasions. On the last legal day for compliance, around 4:30 PM, I received an email from a person named Charles Small -- not our community manager -- telling me that Chad (our actual HOA manager) was "out of the office" and that I could come in to view the documents. This was sent barely an hour before their office closed, leaving no reasonable opportunity to comply with the law's intent. To make matters worse, Charles used a personal Yahoo email account to communicate with me. At no point had he been introduced to homeowners as a representative of ACS West. For all I knew, I was corresponding with a complete stranger. Using personal, unsecured email for official HOA matters is completely unprofessional and undermines trust. When I pressed for answers, instead of transparency, things escalated. Charles replied in place of Chad without explanation, and then the HOA president, Tye Marsh, stepped in with dismissive and antagonistic language -- even telling me "Don't play with me" and that I "don't have the authority to dictate" employees to use their official work email when communicating with homeowners. That's not leadership; that's hostility toward the very people ACS West is supposed to serve. On top of this, ACS West directs homeowners to a Vantaca portal to view financials and service contracts. Yet those folders are completely empty. I even have a recording from a prior board meeting where Tye himself told residents this portal is where the information could be found. It simply isn't there. What makes this worse is that I work in AI and technology -- and I know exactly what Vantaca is. It is a modern, AI-driven HOA management platform designed specifically for recordkeeping, financial transparency, and digital document distribution. The software has built-in tools for electronic storage, secure homeowner access, and easy navigation. In other words, the technology is fully capable of making financials and contracts accessible to residents in real time. The fact that ACS West continues to use Vantaca in a way that is outdated, empty, and nonfunctional suggests this is not a technical issue -- it's a deliberate choice to limit transparency. Homeowners fund ACS West and deserve accountability, professionalism, and transparency. Instead, what we are getting is stonewalling, unprofessional conduct, and excuses. **If you are a homeowner in a community managed by ACS West, I encourage you to log into your own Vantaca portal and see what's actually available. If your financial and contract folders are empty like ours, start asking questions. These companies and the boards they partner with only get away with this when residents stay quiet.

Her professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail set the standard for what a property manager should be. If you're looking for someone to manage your property, you won't find a better choice. Lisa ensures that properties are well-maintained and that tenants are both comfortable and responsible in keeping the home in excellent, move-in-ready condition. The entire Cityscape Realty team is personable, responsive, and genuinely cares about both owners and tenants. Whenever maintenance was needed, the process was handled quickly and efficiently. During our time as tenants, our HVAC unit failed during a hot period. Lisa immediately stepped in to make sure we were taken care of, providing temporary cooling units until repairs were completed. That level of care made a huge difference for my family. What truly sets Cityscape Realty apart is their commitment beyond just property management. Lisa and her team went above and beyond by helping prepare my family and me for homeownership. Thanks to their guidance and support, we were ultimately able to purchase the home we had been renting. My family and I are incredibly grateful for the years of excellent service we received. Cityscape Realty is truly one of a kind, and we highly recommend them to anyone in need of real estate or property management services.

I have lived in one of their properties for almost two years. The maintenance team is wonderful and…read moreI enjoy them. The rest of the org? Garbage. They are impossible to get in contact with and only respond when you point out they're in violation of the law, probably to save their own behinds. They change the rules from tenant to tenant, cant keep a consistent staff, do not follow up on mold issues in adjacent apartments that they have been told to look in to. Deplorable. Now they have this dumb AI that answers the phone when you call because theyre either too lazy to do their jobs themselves or too understaffed and can't keep anyone around to do the job. Absolutely ridiculous. I have tried to be patient and understanding but I'm beyond tired of this BS. I wouldn't be surprised if they responded on here to defend themselves before they actually give me a call back today on a new issue that has come up (showing off open apartments and telling new prospects that private areas are now communal without EVER communicating this change - now I'm supposed to have people hanging out on the porch 1 foot from my bed, setting up outdoor furniture and stuff. GTFO of here, that's so creepy). Also, notice how the only good reviews on here are from employees - I bet they gave them some sort of incentive to post good reviews to counter the bad AND I doubt they live at the properties at all!!

I received an email from my Realtor (who manages the townhouse in Glenside Woods I rent from the…read moreowner), sent to me on behalf of Nicole at Landmark who is the Community Account Manager for Glenside Woods HOA. Nicole does not like that I choose to mow my own lawn (I don't need to go into all the reasons why I choose to take on this responsibility). The email below in quotes is from Nicole to me. I highly doubt this unreasonable demand was put before the property owner who pays Landmark $205 a month and Landmark is now threatening to provide NO LANDSCAPING SERVICES for my address should I continue to mow my own lawn. The HOA is trying their best to bully me. There's not a judge in VA who would rule in their favor if litigation were to be pursued. Now if my yard were not kept within community guidelines Landmark certainly could insist that Davey perform full landscaping services for my unit to enforce compliance. Email: "I wanted to reach out regarding a note I received from the association. They commented that you mentioned your desire to take care of both the front and the rear yard. They are glad to allow you to take care of both the front and the rear yard, but noted that would mean that you would be responsible for all maintenance of the yard. This would include mowing, trimming, chemical treatments, aerating, seeding, etc. Basically with 100 units in the community we can't pick and choose what services we want and which we do not want. There are just too many homes for individual units to each have a separate plan. That being said, they are offering a couple of options... (1) Allow the tenant to maintain the front and back yards entirely (meaning Davey will not service and ALL the yard maintenance will be the sole responsibility of the resident/owner). (2) Have Davey service her yard, giving the tenant the option to keep the back gate locked, so she will be able to maintain the back yard herself if and when she desires. (3) Have Davey Service the front and back yard. Tenant will not maintain." First of all, no "special landscaping plan" for my townhouse was asked for. No additional work or consideration would be required of Davey, the landscape crew. You would think the 15 minutes of time saved not having to mow my front & backyard would give them more time to spend on other yards. Many of the other 99 units in this community either maintain their own shrubs, do their own weeding, or request that no mulch even be put down on their beds, among other things. Consider the context. If the HOA isn't uniformly enforcing covenants around landscaping, that can lead to allegations of discrimination. You don't want to be selective or punitive in enforcement, especially if there may be extenuating circumstances. Photo attached shows my yard I mowed myself (top photo) compared to two others (lower left & right photos) in the community this week after they were mowed by Davey who they want to mow my lawn. Note there is also a sign that fell off the pole and sat there for days.
