Our leasing experience with this management company was frustrating due to poor communication and…read morelack of follow-through. The process took about a full month. During that time we were told three separate times that the property had been cleaned and was move-in ready. Each walkthrough showed otherwise -- no professional cleaning had been completed. We later learned there had been a water leak, which may have caused delays, but this was not clearly communicated upfront. When we first viewed the home, there were spider webs throughout and both dead and live roaches present. We raised these concerns and were repeatedly assured everything would be addressed before move-in. By the final walkthrough, the condition still had not been resolved, and an additional issue had come up. During that final walkthrough (yesterday), we were told that if we did not immediately pay the deposit, the owner wanted to move on to the "next applicants," even though the property issues had not been fixed. We were also told the owner had already "bent" by approving us, so it was essentially now or never. Once we confirmed we would not move forward under those conditions, we were then offered money off and the option to inspect the property after completion. At that point, it felt less like a proactive solution and more like pressure followed by a last-minute change in approach. There were also inconsistencies during the application process. When I initially called to ask about our application status, I was told there were other applicants ahead of us and we would be processed if they fell through. After I provided the address, the associate confirmed we were actually the only applicant. That kind of misinformation made the process feel disorganized. I understand that maintenance issues can happen and that properties owned by LLCs can sometimes add extra layers to communication. However, clear, accurate updates and accountability are essential when people are planning a move on a tight timeline. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future tenants considering this property in Richmond, TX.

After reading the reviews, I noticed most of the high ratings come from owners. That might explain…read morethe difference in experience, because as a tenant this company was difficult to deal with. Email communication often felt passive aggressive and any time I asked a simple question, I got long policy explanations instead of a real answer. I had to follow up several times just to try to renew my lease and kept getting the runaround. I eventually moved because paying rent on time should not come with that much hassle or uncertainty. I rarely needed maintenance since I handled most things myself. Getting my security deposit back took far too long and every time I asked about it, I got more excuses. They charged a 250 application fee, a 25 per person monthly service fee on top of rent, and even offered a 95 option to fast track the return of my own security deposit. On top of that, they offered to charge 495 for move out cleaning. No thanks I can do that myself. I've never ever not gotten back a security deposit. I'm not that person. Everything felt transactional and unnecessary, which honestly pushed me toward leaving. Right before my lease ended, I sent notice that I was moving. Even then, I got what felt like an automated message telling me my renters insurance needed to be confirmed for the next year. I replied saying I was moving out in a few days and still had insurance, and the response I got back basically told me to send proof or be charged 10 dollars. I am not letting anyone nickel and dime me over things like that. 10 dollars. Please quit the shit. Owners may have a smoother experience, but tenants deal with a very different side of things. Best of luck if you decide to rent from them. I will not be using them again. As a property owner and a renter, this definitely isn't the way people should be treated ever. I only have 2 stars because after 30 plus days I got my deposit back. Minus a f*+^€n 5.00 e-check fee. Yall needed that I guess.

I'm so happy I had Kevin Collier help me find a brilliant apartment in Houston. He made the process…read morefun and effortless! Kevin has a ton of knowledge and answered every question I had!! He even asked an old client about his experience at a property I was considering. Kevin called every property I was interested to get information before I toured them with him about rent and square footage on their units in my price range. He took notes on all the properties he called and gave them to me so I would not feel overwhelmed with details. This allowed me to fully concentrate on what I thought about each property in order to decide if it was a right fit for me. You will be so glad you got Kevin's help!!! I would happily enlist his help again anytime I am considering moving or recommend him to anyone else!!!

ULR seems to come highly praised however my personal experience has been quite annoying. I asked an…read moreagent over two years ago to help me look for an apartment within a specific price range. Once I no longer needed his service (I found my own place), he continued to spam my E-mail account with invitations to rental/homebuying events to promote his business. I had to ask him a few times with a call to the office to request this to stop. It started with LinkedIn, and then through other similar social media mediums, then E-mail. Finally the office took care of it and I had to take the extra step to block him. Then, two years later, another agent who connected with me through LinkedIn as well began to do the same practice. In no way did I ever ask to opt-in to any of these invitations. That means I'm on another distribution list that I never agreed to. She is sending Evites--without any opt-out buttons. I had to contact ULR again, and another agent profusely apologized to me. I'm not into this spamming marketing practice because quite honestly, it cheapens a business and creates a desperate image. Do some of these agents like getting cold calls from random numbers themselves and pressured into something they don't need? I don't think any of us do! So it would imply that with common sense, you shouldn't do what you don't enjoy yourself, to people who aren't clearly requesting your service. The agent who helped me get myself removed from a distribution list (again) says that she doesn't practice those methods herself and aren't exemplary of ULR as a whole, but no one seems to be encouraging or reminding other agents to stop the SPAM method. I never experience this when I contact an agent through HAR. Bottom line: I get it, it works once on a blue moon, but if you're about branding yourself as a high quality agent, this spam stuff is not a lot of people's cup of tea. Try this instead, reach out to a potential client directly and ask if they're currently interested in renting/buying or would like to remain in touch in the future if neither are currently an option. Don't force me into your impersonal mass distribution list against my will. Here's the Federal Trade Commmissin FAQ on SPAM stating you must include information on how to opt-out of receiving future E-mail and honor opt-out requests immediately: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2015/08/candid-answers-can-spam-questions

Horrible lacking of consistent enforcement of property maintenance guidelines within our…read moreneighborhood. During the Christmas holiday season, a neighboring property placed more than ten loose plastic trash bags in the public view area of the neighborhood. According to city trash collection guidelines, these bags would not even qualify for pickup in that condition. Despite numerous complaints and requests submitted over the course of more than 30 days, the trash remained in place, creating an unsanitary condition and negatively impacting the appearance of the community throughout the holidays. It ultimately required contacting the City of Houston Health Department before the situation was finally addressed. In addition, RISE recently distributed warning letters regarding exterior lighting requirements and the possibility of fines for noncompliance. However, at least three homes in the neighborhood -- including the same property referenced above -- currently have nonfunctioning exterior lighting with no apparent enforcement action taken. Similarly, warning letters were also distributed regarding trash cans being left visible outside of collection days in order to "maintain property appearance." Yet there are currently multiple homes, including the same property, that have continuously left large trash cans visible on a daily basis since we purchased our home, again without enforcement. As homeowners who make every effort to follow community standards, it is frustrating to see selective or inconsistent enforcement of these rules. We value maintaining a clean, safe, and attractive neighborhood and simply request that all homeowners be held to the same standards equally and consistently.

They gave me a fair price and worked with me on scheduling the time for the cleaner to come. I booked the appointment roughly 2 weeks in advance. The cleaner did a pretty decent job, although she did NOT clean out the cabinets... And refused to do so. I was in the apartment the entire time the cleaner was there (as was my husband) because we were finishing loading up our moving truck while the cleaner did the cleaning. I had previously messaged the company asking about how it works when the cleaner leaves because she disappeared for a while without saying anything and I was concerned that she left. I was told that she would do a walkthrough with me before leaving to ensure that I was satisfied with her work. I wish I would've known this ahead of time, and I also wish the cleaner would've communicated with me when she was leaving to go get more supplies from her car instead of just disappearing. At the time of the walkthrough, I mentioned the fact that she didn't touch the cabinets. She told me "had she come earlier, she would've done them but she's not going to do them today". I scheduled a MOVE OUT clean, so I assumed that I was also paying to have the cabinets cleaned out as this is part of what has to be cleaned when moving out... This was super frustrating and disappointing, but we were leaving that day at noon to start our cross-country move, so I didn't have time to argue. When booking this service, I wish that the company would've given me a list of what all will be cleaned during my move-out clean. Had I known that the cabinets weren't part of it, I would've booked elsewhere. Additionally, they did not reach out to confirm my appointment the day before... I ended up contacting them to ensure that someone was still planning to show up the next day for the appointment. I didn't like that I had to be the one to reach out to confirm my appointment as it's not professional for them to not communicate with me. It seems as if they're a new business, but there are some things that need to be addressed and fixed moving forward in order to give paying customers a better understanding of what to expect.
