Please Read Every Review Before Signing a Lease
If you're considering renting from this company, I urge you to read every single review--especially those written by actual tenants. Most 5-star ratings come from property owners or contractors hired to perform repairs at minimal cost. Renters tell a very different story.
My husband and I moved into 131 Cypress Point Drive on February 1, 2025. By the end of that first week, we were already ready to leave. What followed was a deeply distressing experience filled with dishonesty, neglect, and emotional strain. We are not exaggerating. We are currently in court seeking accountability for what this company put us through.
What You Need to Know
- Security Deposits: The most consistent complaint from renters is that they never receive their security deposit back. We are among them.
- Dishonesty: We were repeatedly misled by staff, especially Laura and Tina. Promises were broken, and concerns were dismissed.
- Walkthrough Advice: Before signing anything, inspect every drawer, closet, wall, and floor. Take detailed photos during your move-in walkthrough. Document everything.
- Lease Review: Read every word of the lease. Ask questions. Don't assume anything will be handled fairly or transparently.
Rent Increases Without Justification
When we moved in, we were paying $2,550 per month. The family before us paid $1,900. The tenants before them paid $1,700. Now, the company is asking $3,075 for the same property.
This pattern of steep, unjustified rent hikes is alarming--especially given the condition of the home and the lack of responsiveness to tenant concerns. The house simply does not warrant this price. It's not an upgrade--it's exploitation.
Photo & Documented Evidence
We've attached a PDF titled "ALL PICTURES OF INSIDE HOUSE Move In Day 02012025" that includes:
- Basement flooding and mold due to a clogged sump pump--reported but ignored.
- Kitchen damage including broken drawers, rotting cabinets, and an uncleaned oven.
- Master bathroom mold and rot around the shower door and base.
- Bedroom walls in poor condition, unpainted and visibly dirty.
- Living room ceiling leaks and patchwork caused by unresolved plumbing issues.
- Clogged gutters leading to water pouring into the garage.
- Bugs on windowsills, dirty carpets, and makeshift tile repairs.
- Utility bills and maintenance cancellations that show neglect and lack of accountability.
These photos and notes were taken on move-in day and throughout our tenancy. They speak for themselves.
Emotional Impact
We've had doors slammed in our faces simply because of our association with this property and its representatives--especially Patrick Blood. The emotional toll has been immense. It feels like a blessing to be out of that environment, but the damage remains.
Final Words of Caution
Please be careful. We are not joking. We are trying to prevent others from going through what we did. If you're considering this property, do your homework. Protect yourself. And if you've experienced something similar, know that you're not alone.
