“Horrible person, him and his wife. Do not rent unless you want constant harassment and banging on your door to make sure you didnt chip ANYTHING or to duct tape your entire fireplace. These people are crazy. Went to court and judge laughed at them and dismissed the eviction.”
“Stephen (Steve) Ross is the worst landlord I've ever had. He will make up his own rules despite the lease. Ultimately he evicted us because he 'never liked us' but really it was because we often didn't put up with his bullshit. Some of the biggest problems with him included: • He deposited our check 2 weeks late (despite the lease stating everything had to be squared away by the 5th). Due to this, it over drafted our account by $4. He then waited another week to notify us, but charged us a daily late fee for the full 3 weeks before notifying us. If he had deposited our check within those 5 days, the account would not have been over drafted. He was unwilling to acknowledge his own actions in this, and threatened it wouldn't be good for us if we didn't pay the fee. He said it was 'hard to get to the bank on time' despite him picking up rent a day before the 1st of the month. After we paid this additional fee, is when he evicted us. • Showing up unannounced • Insisting that he has to enter your apartment to pick up rent • Unwilling to fix things like a dishwasher that never worked, and a fence in the back that is falling apart. • The heat constantly went out in the winter • After we had been renting for well over 2 years, he went into our attic where we had storage, and tried to claim that we had to get a storage unit and that we couldn't store anything beyond luggage and a Christmas tree up there. (despite 1/3 of the stuff up there being his own lumber) • When we moved in he evicted someone in the neighboring building for racist suspicions that the tenant was dealing drugs. Despite not having any evidence other than 'people hanging around'. • I've heard multiple stories of him sexually propositioning tenants.”
“Has been the worst experience of my life. Michael Huber et al., enter my rental unit unannounced repeatedly. Other tenants have had the same unannounced entry issue. Tenants who resist Huber Real Estate entries are threatened with eviction. He has Boomer generational control problems micro-managing everyone within his purview. Sadly, Huber Real Estate property manages several University of Kentucky neighborhood properties. Properties on the surface are beautiful, but there are (deliberately hidden) code violations.”
“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!”
“Mr. Smith was rude and hateful. We did have an issue with getting the rent payment to go through to him, but we offered to bring him cash, money order, whatever he wanted.. he would not accept. He gave us 24 hours to vacate on 8 January 2020, when he hadn't accepted Dec & Jan rent. So we just moved out in one day rather than deal with this crazy man. He came into our home unannounced, he didn't respond to texts or voicemails. Not worth dealing with this hateful person.”
“Very unhelpful during pandemic, threatened eviction twice so far.”
"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."
