DO NOT RENT FROM WRIGHT PROPERTIES.
The apartment we were shown and told was exactly the same layout as the one we were getting, was NOT the same. We signed the lease thinking we were getting one thing and ended up getting something different.
We were told that their properties are cleaned by a "professional cleaning lady"... absolutely untrue. The tenants before us smoked heavily in the apartment...so bad that the walls, cabinets, countertops, doors, and light switch covers were covered in thick yellow gunk. The one good thing Wright's did was paint the walls and replace the carpet like they promised before we moved in, but the smoke smell did not leave and now all of our belongings smell of stale smoke. Not only this, but the kitchen was filthy, sink, stove, and refrigerator were not cleaned at all.
While renting from Wright Properties, you will never be lonely, as you will have a new bug infestation every season to keep you company. In the fall, we had brown recluse spiders, during the winter, we killed hundreds of crickets (glue traps will be your best friend!), and in the spring once again we had brown recluse spiders. Not to mention the smaller, less harmful spiders and roly-poly bugs which live there all year long. I noticed several times there were dead rodents outside on the patio near our apartment, and I am concerned about what killed them and the fact that the cats from next door wanted nothing to do with them.
Wright's does not take care of loud, unruly neighbors, so there were many times that I came home to them parked in my only parking space directly in front of the door to my apartment, they let their pets run rampant and their dog walked into my apartment several times, and they play such loud music/tv all night long that it is impossible to sleep. Unfortunately, Wright's does not care and will do nothing if you complain.
There were several spots on the ceiling that had clearly leaked, and a few times our carpet came up wet after a heavy rain. Wright's brilliant way of fixing this was to turn fans on to dry the carpet. Our back door had a gap in it, where you could see clear outside, which is where many of the bugs came in. Our bathroom did not have an electrical outlet and had a heater that was clearly a fire hazard, so we never turned it on. The walls were covered in wallpaper and they tried to cover a hole with moulding but it was still noticeable... I don't even want to know what the wallpaper was covering. None of the bedroom or bathroom doors had locks on them, which is unfortunate when you're living with roommates. When asked, they claim they spray for pests once a month, but no one has ever seen this happen.
One evening we called the emergency maintenance line 15 times and they never answered or called back. However, one night I called twice, left a voicemail, and didn't hear back, but the maintenance man showed up 15 minutes later. This is great service except that he showed up unannounced and it was midnight. Typically when you don't receive a reply to your call you assume they're not coming. We didn't have running water in our kitchen for two weeks because Wright's did not believe this was an emergency and took their sweet time coming out to fix it. They let the grass get about a foot high before they will come mow, and the dumpster area is always disgusting and littered with garbage because we only have 3 trash cans and that is not enough for 2 duplexes full of people. You will spend extra on your heating and cooling bills because the properties are not kept up with. Our hot water heater never worked properly and there were times that we could only take about 5 minute showers.
Their office hours are 12-4:30pm throughout the week, but most times we tried calling no one ever answered. When they do answer, 9 times out of 10 they are rude. I have also gone there during office hours and they have been closed early.
Unless you enjoy renting from horrible landlords, do not rent from Wright Properties!!! read more
