I wish I would have read Core 3's terrible reviews before renting from them…read more Upon many other upsets while renting from Core 3, the issue that has me most furious is how they have dealt with the black mold issue I found in my main bedroom. I put in a request to have this black mold inspected and cleaned on Tuesday, April 11 2023 at 10:20AM. I waited all throughout the day for maintenance to arrive. At 4PM when maintenance still did not arrive, I called Core 3 to ask why my request had still not been addressed by maintenance. I spoke with Mark, who told me that "not all black mold is the toxic black mold that it may seem." He then proceeded to speak to me rudely and loudly after I told him that I put in a request at 10AM and should not have been waiting this long for it to be addressed. Regardless if it is the toxic black mold or not, ALL mold has very serious health effects. I have experienced bodily rashes, constant fatigue, constant sneezing, headaches, and watery eyes. The fact that this issue will not be addressed until the following day, April 12 2023 when I put in this request at 10AM of April 11 2023 is absurd and very unprofessional. The way I was spoken to by Mark is also very upsetting as he merely downplayed my worry of exposure to mold and spoke to me in a very unprofessional manner. Save your health, save your money, and do not rent from Core 3. Flor Bustos

Former tenant here from 2018-2021, oh where shall I start?…read more I suppose I should start at the beginning when I informed them before even moving in that I am disabled and at the time I had a service dog. I provided all legal and necessary proof that my service dog was indeed my service dog but they refused to take my paperwork to make copies of it, and yet they somehow found it necessary to charge me a $30 pet fee for 3 months. When I finally realized where the extra charge was coming from, I confronted them with picture proof of the original rental agreement, my paperwork proving my service dogs credibility, and what they were charging me. I also informed them how what they did was a direct violation of ADA laws. The response I got was essentially "that's nice, we're not giving you your money back". It took 11 months for most of my maintenance repairs to get taken care of and there was still plenty left for them to do that they never followed up on. One example is when one of the water pipes burst and I had water leak into my bedroom. Had I not been lucky enough to have a friend that's good with maintenance repairs I'd have lost everything in my bedroom from flooding because it took them 3 days to repair it. I'm a persistent man and I refused to take no for an answer when it came to the necessary repairs I needed as well as property maintenance. Can't tell you how many times I injured myself slipping on a sheet of of ice that covered a very crappy gravel driveway because they refused to salt the driveway or shovel snow, which caused my car to get suck in the driveway on multiple occasions. Two winters in and I'd had enough of their neglect so when a huge snowstorm came through I had to yell at them for 5 consecutive days just to get salt trucks and a snow plow. They also happily raised my rent during the height of the pandemic too, citing "under market value as the reason. I got sick and tired of CORE 3 being such a crappy middleman since Seth Coulliard is the property owner and the ultimate one making the decisions about necessary repairs and property maintenance. So I decided to message both the property owner and CORE 3 in a joint email to further discuss what I needed because using their maintenance portal was a joke and a waste of time. That pushed them over the edge because then they decided they'd had enough of me demanding my rightful repairs as a contracted tenant, so they directly retaliated against me and broke their own contract by trying to raise my rent and tried to refuse me my legally required 30 days notice as was stated in the contract. If you don't believe me about them directly retaliating against people just go to the Better Business Bureaus official website and type them in. Their convenient excuse for raising the rent was again how the property was allegedly "under market value". I'm gonna tell you right now that place was so neglected it wasn't worth more than $400/month and any "upgrades" they make are purely aesthetical. After I showed them proof of how wrong they were they reluctantly agreed so I took my legally required 30 days and got out. They're a straight up slum company because they're the middle men who stand in between tenant and property owner and they always side with slumlords. Avoid CORE 3 at all costs and especially SETH COULLIARD because most of my problems stemmed from Seth's COMPLETE lack of professionalism let alone his lack of knowledge about ADA laws. Oh, and one more thing. If you're reading through the reviews and you're looking at the responses given to tenants who have left negative reviews, just know that the owner is completely full of ****. If lying was a national sport these people would be the global champions. Quite frankly they shouldn't even be allowed to exist considering how many people they've screwed over and every single person that I've ever talked to who's rented from them has had almost the exact same experiences me. The people leaving negative reviews are NOT lying, it really IS that bad.
