“I have had repeated issues with this landlord over maintenance requests. When I moved in I opened the fridge and it smelled like a rotting corpse had been in there for months. I had to leave the apartment the smell got so bad. I went straight down to the front office and they sent some of the cleaning staff down to take a look. They sprayed some stuff and wiped it down and left. The smell was NOT gone at all and now I had bugs that started coming out of my ice maker. My landlord's solution was that it would dissipate over time. They said the previous tenant left some fish in the freezer and they turned the electric off to that unit. They didn't realize there was still fish in the freezer until they came to clean for my arrival. The smell was unbearable for months. I couldn't get them to do anything about it. About a month into my lease my security alarm's backup battery went dead which causes it to beep very loudly every few minutes. I put in a maintenance request and a few weeks later someone came to look at it. He said the battery probably needed to be replaced but he would have to check to see what type it needed. I said ok and thought he would be back soon. A month went by and I heard nothing. I decided to put in another request. He came back and said the same thing. That the battery probably needed to be replaced and he needed to check to see what kind it needed and he would get back to me. This went on about 3 or 4 more times until I just gave up and unplugged the alarm system because I got tired of the beeping and I'm sure my neighbors were too. I had a light bulb that had smoke coming out of it. They just put the exact same completely black bulb back in the socket. Which is so unbelievably dangerous. I have also had so much trouble with the front office with the pandemic. They refuse to take partial payments. They refuse to work with you to help get the balance paid on your account and keep adding and adding late fee upon late fee upon late fee. I have applied for rental assistance and the only thing that is preventing them from getting the money is they have to do their part of the application. But for an entire month they have done nothing. During this pandemic I have been threatened by corporate I am repeatedly given notices threatening eviction even though I am protected under the CDC moratorium and have signed the documentation necessary to receive such protection. This property has been the worst rental experience I have ever experienced!”

Review of M2 Property Group by Renter

“No pest problems. Over the course of 5 years property kept getting worse. Multiple property managers and revolving office staff, rent went up every year, the last year we were charged extra money per month for the washer and dryer that had been in the unit. Gutters were cleaned maybe once every two years. Tennis court was in disrepair, office staff claimed maintenance would replace tennis net in the beginning of summer when pool is opened. Same tennis net remained for years, dog park near tennis court but still dog feces was on tennis court. In October 2017 a random stray bullet struck my apartment, we called the police to inform, police officer asked if we wanted to submit a police report. We said we did, but after the police left the rental office called and said they did not want to submit a police report. Bullet hole was never fixed outside my apartment, moved out in June 2020. Water leaked from upstairs apartment into our unit, maintenance waited a few hours until we discovered the mess and called in about it. Motorcycle's battery was stolen in apartment parking lot, apparently used to steal another tenant's motorcycle. The real problems began in January 2020 when our electricity bill went from the typical $80-120 a month to $400. We could not get any help from the office staff. Electricity bills stayed high, covid hit and in March maintenance wasn't going into any apartments unless it was an emergency. Whatever was causing the high electricity bills was never resolved, it didn't seem to be a real priority to the office staff.”

“Was under the impression (for ~6 months) that my rent was $750+$25 pet fee, totaling $775. This is what I paid each month from Feb-Aug. In August I was informed by the office manager that my rent was actually $775+$25 per fee, totaling $800. And informed me I was accumulating a tab due to paying $25 less each month (again, for 6 months, without any correction from office management). The lease was mis-worded, essentially. So my rent “went up”, and I had to back pay my “debt”. While unemployed in a pandemic. Half of the outlets don’t work, some light switches don’t have covers, the towel racks and toilet paper holders aren’t securely attached and regular come off the wall. Roaches. Just… Roaches. The walls are so thin that I’ve heard every conversation my neighbors have had in 12 months. The dumpsters are regularly overflowing with trash on the sidewalks. I could go on but I have to literally go meet the moving truck right now. Don’t live here. (However, much respect to the seemingly-only maintenance man on the property. He works extremely hard and was always very helpful with issues).”

Review of Bob Waller by sagg1991

“Bob Waller is the worst landlord I have ever had to date. He sent out evictions to four people in my neighborhood and the day before the court date he had his maintenance man go around and tell the tenants that the court date was pushed back a week. This was a lie in hopes that they wouldn’t show up for the original court date. The entire two years that I’ve been here he has never lifted a finger to find anything, and threatened me with eviction when I tried to politely and professionally push the issue. This is only the surface of the problems I have had with this slumlord. If you ever take any advice in life, please, please, do not rent from Bob Waller.”

"Constant changing of office personnel, upping rent without notice or adding charges out of no where. Apartment rules constantly changing, maintenance refuses to fix anything unless they can come when you aren't home (I am home constantly). During COVID, tons of threats and illegally evicting half of the apartment complex."

"Lived here for 2 years, from 2015-2017. It was fine. The office always had rotating staff, so I don't think I spoke to the same assistant twice, but I can't recall a time when they upset me or stepped on our toes. On the flip side, they also were pretty hands off and never did anything that made them exceptional or made us feel valued or appreciated. Pretty average all around."
