Worst Rental Experience Ever

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Dishonest. Will overcharge for move in fees. Impounded car while we were out of town that we rent a space for and have a permit for. Rude employees. Hidden fees

Unfit management

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
A false allegation was made against me and my service dog. I've never had so many problems in my life. Past 90 days *** I've had to isolate in my apartment because of this false allegation. Each day is continued trauma I don't know this individuals history? I'm not sure what he's capable of doing. Except he was able to fabricate a story that my dog bit him? style="background-color: Interesting especially since my dog is muzzled, at all times. I've had to quarantine my dog for 10 days specifically because of this individual . style="background-color: style="background-color: Animal control was called five times by this individual. Property manager assisted in fabricating this lie, and I live in fear. style="background-color: My granddaughter couldn't even attend school and had to be placed with family member until this is resolved. Now I can't move because apparently I have an unfavorable rental history? I have family and I'll get relocated. I'm fortunate. But what about the next person? Trust me if your given any type of eviction? You won't come out on top. Management won't rescind there allegation against you. Now apparently I've committed a criminal act? It's a nightmare and Greystar is a bigger nightmare. My advice don't walk RUN! style="background-color: style="background-color:

What reasons was animal control called five times? Also, how is a service dog muzzled at all times? Aren’t they trained to perform certain tasks related to your disability?

Guest

I'm not sure how disabled and slow service is part of what I was referring to. However what I am referring to is that their most definitely is a management problem and on top of that management problem you have regional managers and Senior partners that are part of the problem too because why? They don't have a solution.

*Uregent* Balance Owed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I'm in the process of rent at an apartment complex and during the application review a manager said that a previous apartment I rent from (8500 Harwood) in June 2019, 12 month lease, when owned by greystar, states I owe them 480$, which I have no documentation of and never had a notice of these charges, and I don't have anything on my credit report. I need someone to please contact me back so I can figure this out, because I can't rent from the apartments unless this is fixed. Thank you. (817)-565-****. Shayla Herring

Not returning deposit as stated in contract/lease

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
All is great until you move out and expect them to follow the legally binding lease/contract that you signed stating that you will receive your deposit back in 30-45 days. Kelly, assistant manager, wont return calls or get on the phone when shes standing right there. Faith has no clue what is going on. Moved out on June 14. Told on June 26 that account was closed out and check would be sent within a week. TWO months later here we sit. Get it together! DO BETTER!!! Dont tell me you care. Actions..or lack there of.speak MUCH louder than words.

Resolved: Bounced check

Updated by user Oct 16, 2023

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They reissued another check but did not include the NSF fee/charges - hopefully won't be doing any other work with them

Original review Sep 15, 2023

Conserve Utility billing

When my old lease expired with Blanton Turner and the New property management company Greystar took over utilities increased drastically. I reviewed my billing from the last 18 months and it appears Greystar is pushing additional cost to the residents. This is unethical to the consumer.

Horrible

Current resident at Villages at West University in Houston, TX. Harrassed and threatened by assistant Manager, Monica, for writing a review on Google. I used the exact same verbiage that other residents were using to describe their dissatisfaction with the property. Monica woke me up the day after Thanksgiving telling me my review is ruining the business at the property. In other words, she was saying that my factual review was hurting her current performance metrics. I was floored. I could go on and on. This has been a horrible experience at this property.

Harassment by Greystar employees/ CEO

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Nov 15, 2023
This building is Section 8 housing and is riddled with crime, elderly people beaten up in the elevators, lawsuits, crime perpetrated by the leasing office employees (and releatives that reside there- Shels friends) and the Concierge desk that harasses residents. Cars spray painted, residents physically attacked all the time, employees stealing from storage units (and then NDA agreements to hide it all)...the reviews are all employees. The CEO of Greystar is well aware and looks the other way.what a great guy.

End of Lease Charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Moved in to apartment in Blacksburg for college. Apartment was not cleaned or ready. It took 6 of us, renters and parents, 4 hours to clean the apartment. At the end of the lease, Greystar billed me another $248 dollars for cleaning fee. I disputed this to them. They sent me right to collections. They WILL have extra charges at the end of your lease. What a disaster.

I'm going through that now. My daughter stayed at 1016 Strock St.

Filthy move in condition. Charging us $248 in cleaning fees and the same amount to her 2 roommates. We requested a detailed bill of the charges and they sent her right to collections with Genesis/Columbia Debt Recovery.

We just sent a dispute to the collection agency and will be sending a second demand letter to Greystar. Next, we will be taking them to court.

Need a copy of my previous rental payments, no one is answering my calls

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I'm in a building in Denver that used to be owned by Greystar. Another building bought the property and closed of all of our access to our previous resident portal. I'm now trying to buy a house, and the bank wants me to verify my rent payments. But I can't get anyone from Greystar to answer the phone, and I can't get a copy of my records! This is going to affect my loan with the bank, and it's a simple request. I just need someone to call me back!
