Progress Residential
Charging More Than The Zillow Zestimate
Progress Residential has less than 2 stars for a reason. You really should listen to what others are saying.
Your rent will go up every year, and you do not get control of your utilities.
They make you go through a third party which involves no access or control of a savings plan, and there are always fees to pay the bill.
We have had over $500 in utilities for a month, but we cannot adjust for savings plans.
The local utility company has plans for doing most things like laundry and dishwasher after 9:00 or on the weekends, and we do not have that option.
You also do not get to see the breakdown. We have lived in our house for 3 years.
Each year they have raised the rent, and it has been annoying but manageable.
The first year it was raised $64 per month. The next year, it was $91. They wanted $150.To resign the fourth year would be a shame on us.
For the last three years, there has been no discount for paying your rent on time with astronomical utilities.
There have been no home improvements or remodeling in four years.
As far as maintenance goes, in 3 years we have had two problems.
They sent one drunk, cranky jerk over who butchered the ceiling. It is an eyesore.
It looks like when your kids punch a hole in the wall and try to patch it themselves with dad’s plaster kit in the garage.
Except it’s the ceiling, and it is huge. The dishwasher was broken when we moved in, and they sent this same guy.
He always reeks of liquor, and he’s vulgar. Then our sprinkler system in the front yard never worked.
They sent 3 guys over who dug up the yard but never found the busted sprinkler and just left it.
It looked like we had an angry family of prairie dogs destroy our yard.
So sure, they sent someone, but that is what they are sending.
They will continue to be around for a while, though, because they keep buying all the houses and ripping off renters.
They are really nice when you are viewing and make everything so easy.
They start with charging more than the Zillow Zestimate, and it creeps up every year.
Your rent will go up every year. I am sure they will try to take my deposit, too, but I will fight it even if the whole thing is lost to court costs.
We have been here almost a year and noting has started to fall apart.
My husband and I rented a home from progress residential that seemed to look nice at first but throughout the months things started falling apart terribly, mold started appearing plumbing was horrible. In April , we vacated the rental properties because of this situation.
In June we received a list of deductions over S6,000 that they claim we were held accountable for such as repainting the entire interior of the house due to dirt on the walls, mold, leaks, plumbing issues etc which affected the home. Also, normal wear and tear on the interior paint of a house is to be expected. The fading and soiling of the paint (which was already there) is due to normal wear and tear.
As such, the cost of repainting should be left to the rental company. The bathroom was falling apart, there was black mold building around the master and the other restroom, the toilets where leaking, the kitchen sink was leaking which caused mold in the cabinets and gave the home a terrible smell, it was just horrible.
I went to look at the home after we moved out and it was completely remodeled everything and we were left we their bill! The home looked nothing like it did when we first moved in it. Everything they did was new and updated, when we moved in it was not. We called the company serval times complaining about the problem when we occupied the property when they finally came they only repainted over the mold and put some paste down under the cabinets as they did when we moved in.
They advised would come back to fix the issue and never did. I have lived in a couple of rental properties and never have I ever experienced anything like this. Please be aware of this and take notice of everything that is wrong with their properties before committing to a lease agreement.
We were unfairly charged for damages that were not cause by us. Luckily, we are now renting from Main Street Renewal which seems to be a much better company. We have been here almost a year and noting has started to fall apart.
