this company is the biggest scam I've encountered. I have been living with mold for a month & they have yet to get someone to come fix my property. the rent increases every year over a $120. They don't have managers or anyone with authority to help with anything inside of the home. I don't recommend anyone to move to this company !

Charges added back from November

My experience with Progress Residential has been overwhelmingly negative due to persistent miscommunication, poor management, and processes that make tenants pay for the company's own errors. My lease start date was set for November 12, and I paid my deposit in October. By policy, I was required to have renter's insurance and all utilities in my name by November 12. Despite this, Progress did not send the actual lease for signature until 8:10 PM on November 11--after multiple phone calls from me asking for it. Along with the lease, they finally provided the move-in cost sheet, which I had not been given until that moment. They require certified funds for any move-in payments made within three days of the move-in date. There is no way to obtain certified funds at 8:10 PM the night before move-in, yet by the next morning (November 12), they were already sending automated emails demanding immediate payment. To make matters worse, their "orientation" representative said she could "make an appointment" for me to drop off the certified check at their office (an hour drive from me) with no consideration for my work schedule or my time. To avoid further delays, I overnighted the check. Access to the home would be granted until they "received" the certified funds. I was finally granted access to the home at 5pm on November 14, 2025. Regardless, I paid utilities, insurance, and rent on a property I had yet to access and I had to reschedule movers, incurring more costs due to their negligence. Furthermore, the move-in costs were calculated incorrectly and based on the November 12th date, resulting in an over charge of $140.00. I have always been a homeowner, haven't leased since I was young. I am single and decided I no longer wanted the headaches associated with owning a home so I sold and decided to lease...needless to say, a huge regret now. Overall, Progress Residential demonstrated poor communication, disorganization, and an unwillingness to take responsibility for their mistakes, while expecting tenants to jump through hoops to compensate for their inefficiency. I cannot recommend them based on this experience. Update: The level of incompetence is appalling. The "advocates" they assign to complaints do nothing. After repeated phone calls from me throughout November, Progress credited my account in December. However, they lived up to my review and ongoing dissatisfaction by adding the charges back to my account in January WITHOUT any notice. As anyone can see, my review is spot on. Do not rent from this company. There are too many nice homes for lease to waste your time with this company.

Dirty under sized air filter. Called about this as to which filter to obtain never heard back.

@rich, do not make it seem as if you and your corporation care about its tenants. Neighbor with one of your homes had a cracked sewer line leaking raw sewage in its master closet and yet you all sat on your hands, changed the carpet and failed to deal with the issue at hand. There is a common denominator here... plenty of people on social media dislike for the typical and common reasons.

I've rented with this company for a long time, and this WILL be my last year. If you can...avoid them. They were "ok" (on the low side) until this year. Slow responses to straight no shows. I take care of my 81 year old mom, she's on hospice. Our heat went out in the middle of the night. I placed an emergency call as soon as they opened to get someone out to fix the heat. I was assured that someone would be out...no one showed up!!! Not only that, but when you call them, you can leave your # to call you back so that you don't have to wait in their queue. Well when they call back, you pick up....and THEY HANG UP!Now we have to sleep with the oven on which is not safe. I cannot get a hotel, I cannot move my mom. I am sooo frustrated. There are numerous other things that I can complain about with this company but this is the last straw....avoid them at all costs. If anything happens to us overnight this is proof that Progress Residential was the cause!

I'm not sure who they have working in these offices or what they are told, but they are assessing fraudulent charges and unfounded fees on resident accounts and forcing people to pay them. Please keep good records, record conversations of people you speak with in their offices, take notes, write names, dates, times and who you spoke with. Lastly, write down every word they tell you. They are stealing hard earned money from their residents!!! Fight back! Pay your rent on time. Follow the mandates of the lease and lastly, don't be afraid to take them to court. Research your tenant rights. You will win against them. I have won on several occasions because I keep good records and they usually end up dropping the fees from my account to avoid court. You can go online and file in whatever county you live in. For the most part I don't have any issues with Progress with regard to maintenance. When I put in a request, they usually come within a week. They just need to stop trying to rip people off with these fraudulent claims.

Pool service that I've been charged for $175.00 every month

If I could give em -5 I will do it. Sherica Smith has really bit** actitud, she answering with so much sarcasm. I was I really don't understand how a company like progress residential could hire someone like her After all she didn't solved the issue that we're going through 1- Pool service has been collected every single month and it has been 2 months all ready with out service I'll attach picture of it 2- my water bill increased from 50's-60,s as a regular month to over 2k 3- I find out that they moving number to make it match. At first when I make the call I stated that we're out of state for medical matters, and she was questioning who's at the property. That's the most nonsense question I ever heard. It is impossible to have a water bill that high with no one using it. She did nothing but caused more stress than a solution to this matter. After all Ana called me and I was thinking that someone wit ethics would be able to help me I did send an email to her and she never replied back to me. I decided to make a call again and yes Sherica did answered my call with the same bullshit and bit** actitud Pool still in poor conditions And water bill keeps increasing

Don't rent from these people. It's a nightmare waiting to happen. Bottom line--they are ridiculous and all the reviews about them are true.

Is anyone in the Alpharetta office?

They don’t answer their phones. Call the Scottsdale, Arizona corporate office they always answer but still not helpful. Progress Residential Management needs to be shut down and fined or imprisoned for all the shady shit they pull!

During that time, he was my reliable and honest real estate agent for about 15 homes.
