This company is a scam plain and simple
This company is a scam plain and simple. I had to move in sight unseen due to moving across the country. Upon moving in, the smoke detector was beeping, the garage door remotes didn't work, there were dead cockroaches in the kitchen, the switch for the garage door was hanging out of the wall, and towel racks were hanging out of the wall. Upon reaching out to the person I dealt with for moving in, I was told that I needed to file a service report for everything and that it was my responsibility to take care of and they would not file the report for me. I got the towel hangers fixed but that was about it. Later on I filed a report to have the AC filter changed as I was not aware that it was my responsibility to replace the AC filter every month. When the service technician came out, he informed me that I was technically supposed to replace it and Progress Residential would charge me for this, but decided he wasn't going to report it. If your rental is part of the HOA, prepare for Progress Residential to fine you if you get a notice. Progress Residential does not take care of the landscaping of its rentals at all (even when they "threaten" to take care of the HOA violation). I got two HOA notices at the beginning of 2020 to which I then hired a landscaping company to take care of it. I informed Progress Residential that I had taken care of these violations. I don't know if they didn't relay this to the HOA, but 4 months later I got another notice for dead grass in the middle of Arizona summer and was being told I was getting a $50 fine because this was the 3rd violation for grass. I spoke with the HOA that this was due to dead grass and not long grass and they waived the fine. However, Progress Residential still assessed a $45 fine to me. Fast forward, my lease is ending and I am buying a house. My house was to be completed by the end of 2020 so I needed to extend my lease from the end of September to mid-January . Progress Residential informed me that my rent would increase from $1690/month (without utilities) to $1730 (without utilities) PLUS a short term rental fee. In 2020 of all years I would have expected them to have some empathy, but alas they did not. My rent was $2100/month for a 3 bedroom 2.5 baths, 1451 sqft house in Mesa, AZ. As my new short-term lease was coming to an end, they reached out to me asking if I wanted to do month to month until my house was ready in March. The month to month cost would have been $2412 WITHOUT UTILITIES. I of course told them no. I noticed on my last FULL month there my rent was almost $2500 WITH utilities. I called and asked them why this was and apparently when you first start renting, you aren't charged utilities for the first 2-3 months, so they add it to the end. To add insult to that injury, I am only staying 11 days in January and they are charging me the entire month's rent! Also... Good luck getting ahold of anyone from this company. They either are "out of office", "away from their desk", or just don't respond to emails or voicemails.
I would live in my car before renting from Progress again
I would live in my car before renting from Progress again.First, it is impossible to get ahold of anyone. Everything is routed through their customer service where you will wait an average of one hour EVERY TIME YOU CALL. The customer service cannot help you with anything, all they do is log your request and ask some basic questions from a form they are filling out. The questions almost never make sense for the problem you are reporting.They never fixed a single item identified in the walk through. I had to file my own tickets later for everything, and often had to call back for a second ticket when they didn't finish the job. They sent someone out to fix a roof leak but forgot to send someone to fix all the drywall. Etc. I had continuous AC issues with the house which had an upstairs unit and a downstairs unit. The upstairs would exceed 80 degrees on warm summer days. I fought Progress for three years to get it fixed and they never resolved the issue. I had to spend $1000 buying window units to make the bedrooms and my office livable during the summer. Which also increased my electric *** significantly. I spent most of the July/August with only my window units when the downstairs AC broke.Never sign up for their credit reporting services. At one point they mistakenly added some charges to my account. After hours on the phone, the local account manager finally returned my call and said it was an internal system error and to not pay the charges. It took them 3 months to remove the charges. Anyone who had reporting to the credit services was reported as missing payments during that time.The sewer system in the house had trouble from day one. Upstairs toilets plugged continuously and it was rare that you could flush them without plunging. It eventually blocked entirely and started to backup from the main line. I called their emergency line repeatedly attempting to get a response to an active water leak in the house. They ignored me the entire day and had an after hours technician call me to tell me it was my problem to fix according to the lease. Which is impossible, because no plumber will work on a rental house without landlord agreement. I spent over 8 hours on their phone line over two days attempting to get this emergency resolved. And they charged me $300 for the repair. Every charge is marked up. Any repair that goes through their service department is marked up significantly. They use a third party billing service to handle water, sewer and trash which doubles service prices and charges you an additional $7.95 as a "convenience" fee. They are using COVID as an excuse to charge you extra on move out. They would not do a walk through so I was unable to dispute any of their assessments of damage. I was charged for numerous pre-existing conditions to the house like incorrectly installed wire shelving, fixing a door handle that was backwards when I moved in and more. I would love to fight it, but it just isn't enough money to make me ever call their customer service line again. Avoid at all costs.
This company is unethical. They only give a s*** about your money. They don't even care about their employees. Wait times on the phone can be astonishing. I live in the *** area and I know it's expensive but I had to give them almost $9,000 on day one just to get the keys. when rent plus security deposit is only $4,000. They have so many fees. Not to mention getting a hold of anyone who works there property manager or maintenance worker is *** near impossible. I am a military member and I sent my wife and kids before my arrival. They were standing outside of the home in the heat for half the day until I finally got a hold of our property manager who was supposed to meet us there in the morning. Not to mention the state of the home when they got in. Trash is still in the trash cans, and dog toys are all over the yard from the previous owners. the screen door falling off of the hinges. I had to put in about a dozen work orders on day one. I really hope anyone looking to rent from this company looks at this website first and realizes what a scam progress residential is. If you don't believe me go on *** and look for a group called victims of progress residential. It has 10K + members. Literally, thousands of people have had terrible experiences enough to put in Complaintsboard.com and *** review complaints. There is a special place in h*** for the people who work at Progress Residential.
Run away! They will charge you various fees for errors they make in their system and if you call, expect to be on hold for HOURS.
I am getting double charge for my utility bill I am getting charged 10 dollars a month for smart service I don't use I am talking with a lawyer now I was told I would get money off my rent as a realtor the law in *** says you have *** time but they did not fix the leak and electricity they also promised a rebate I still have not seen it I am going to save this this bill of the double charge bills I will keep paying as normal and at the end of the year I will *** you and I see more people are being charged double for utilities on here with complaints I will contact them and we will have a even bigger case there is a lot of people you can mess with on here but as a realtor who have to protect my investors I am the wrong person to mess with I am giving you 48 hours to fix these billing is***s before I lawfully *** you for the claims and more. Renters have rights too and clearly your customer service reps need managing and guidance this has to be the worst experience of my life as a renter I make well over the amount though an I know great real estate attorneys who will love to see these charges and the proof that my ac went out the proof my electric went out and the leak in the bathroom were all well over *** to over see the is*** and know the law to take you out for breaking *** renter laws multiple times I am not even three months in I may ask to leave and not be charge also I have mold in my shower that was not sealed correctly I need a mold inspection asap this is a far warning this is my first time noticing you about mold but you have a to send someone out with in 7 days and then to a mold cleaning and inspection if its large of enough the *** law. I am requesting this as well today dually noted here in Complaintsboard.com
I have never rented from this company, but I am a property owner nearly one of their properties in the Spring area. Last week I returned home to find an abandoned car literally in the middle of the road outside of a Progress Residential house. The car had been in the back yard of that home, left by a previous renter. Progress Residential had evidently decided the best way to get rid of it was to simply pay someone to drag it out of the back yard and leave it in the road. Hard to believe this, but its true. I had to call the police to get it towed as it was a traffic hazard. This is not a good company if they think they can act like this in a deed restricted subdivision in such a manner. I feel sorry for you if you rent a property from them and would advise you to avoid them at all costs. 1 star only here because the system makes you select at least 1.
My son's terrible experience with this company's representatives
My son's interaction with this company's representatives was dreadful. Initially, I noticed warning signs during his rental process but let him manage his first home rental at age 24. A branch representative insisted he sign the lease unseen due to a key box battery issue, which took a week to resolve. Post-signing, he discovered dead roaches and had to personally pay for pest control, contrary to his previous apartment's maintenance. Additionally, he encountered non-functional heating and hot water, unresponsive representatives, and delayed maintenance service. After researching, I found many tenants with similar issues. We are determined to hold this company accountable for their unacceptable service.
They changed you for glitches in there system a *** hit with no remorse, and no resolution to the problem. I will never rent from this company again, Also changed me another fee of *** for putting a paper On the door
My family have been scammed. We had to move out our apartment because my children were getting sick from us discovering mold in the *** system. Current Case! We wanted to find a house. Rent is high and we wanted something cheaper, more space, and back yard for our dogs and two boys. We saw the house Nov. 7 via Rently. We received a texts and calls from a supposed landlord/owner of the home regarding the house and when could we go see it. We said now. My fianc didnt have his ID at the time but the landlord said that it was okay just tell me when your 10 minutes out. We arrived at the home and it had a tiny piece of paper taped to the doorknob that had a code on it. (The actual Progress Residential code thats on yall box above the stove) no scammer should have that, we know that now! He explained he told one of his agents to put it their. We stayed on the phone with him the entire time of walking the home. We fell in love. We paid the application fee ($150). We got approved and then paid the deposit ($800). We moved in Nov. 10. As we unlocked door, we found a note behind the door that said if you found this house online its a scam. We called the number and the landlord and it was his agent as they both told us. Paid a total of $1975. On Nov. 14 a Progress Residential truck pulled up and said we had to leave. He said were unauthorized occupants and handed us a piece of paper. He didnt care nor was he trying to help (he said that verbatim). He took our info but didnt give any of his and we asked. He made a police report NO HELP. We file a report through Progress Residential after explaining the situation no response no help. A person personating yall corporate security team text and told me stop talking to the scammer. How would they know, they also knew what time I called and my case number. All of this is in text. I cant make this up. I WANT A RESPONSE, CALL, or SOMETHING! Were homeless because of this reason. Theres so much more! Reach out to me!
This company has took me threw so many problems *** to pay my rent. They have locked out of me from paying online, add a $200 eviction fee AND TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY I CAN PAY IS BY mailing in my payment overnight to them. They have no locate offices in the *** so i can go in to talk to an agent or manager about the property that i live in. Please dont rent from this company because they are not a good company to rent from.
WORST WORST COMPANY TO RENT FROM I AM STILL HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE ASIDE FROM THE FIRST GAS LEAK I ENDURED FOR MONTHS. NOW I HAVENT HAD HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING AND ON TOP OF THAT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO SERVICE ME. *** AND *** ARE THE TWO AT THE TOP LAUGHING AT PEOPLE ALL WHILE LYING TO THE COMPANY TO PLACE A *** ON MY ACCOUNT. JUST SO I WILL NOT RECIEVE ANY ASSITIANCE OR CALL BACKS. THEY ARE THE TRUE EVIL IN THIS WORLD TO LAUGH AND MOCK ANOTHER HUMANS LIVING SITUATION WHILE THEY REST PLEASANTLY IN THEIR BEDS. SERIOUSLY THINK TWICE BEFORE RENTING FROM THIS COMPANY. IF ANY ONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM LET ME KNOW BECAUSE *** ALREADY TRIED EVERYTHING. AND NOTHING WORKS. THIS IS MY THIRD TIME REPORTING THEM HERE. THEYRE ON EVERYONES WATCH LIST THIS COMPANY HAS GOT TO BE SHUT DOWN AND STOPPED FOR TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHTS AS HUMANS AND CITIZENS.
This company has been bad from the very beginning
This company has been bad from the very beginning. I can't even begin to recount all the trouble that we've had moving in and maintaining any sense of peace in the home. I'll make the effort to recount everything. Before we even moved in, I went in take a look at the house. It looked quite nice upon first glance, but closer inspection proved the many faults and living here has only made it abundantly clear that this is the absolute worst company you could ever have the displeasure of renting from. First, the sliding glass door wouldn't open. It was jammed shut. This would prove to be a recurring issue for the next 2 1/2 years. The door either jammed itself shut, would fall of the railing consistently, or the lock would break. We had the lock break so many times (once it was like 3 times in 6 months, and we barely go out there) And before you ask, not being able to lock a door that leads into the home isn't considered an emergency and they initially told us that it was our job to get that replaced. Next, I noticed that all the windows had gaps where the screen was, effectively letting all the little critters into the space. This prevented any of the windows being opened. Anything from ants, lizards, and large frogs made their way in. When we did finally get someone out there to try and fix that, this is what happened - Someone came out and took a look. He confirmed that all the frames where the screen was should be replaced as they were all bent out of shape and looked awful. When they came back, we expected just that. Instead, they have a new guy come out, and he places this sponge like tape along the edges of 1 window. When I asked how that's supposed to help, he says that it'll keep everything out so long as it doesn't get wet. Mind you, this is the bathroom window that we're talking about, the one that's right next to the shower that's getting sloshed in water every time someone takes a shower. He then runs out of the tape, and gives us a little more and says something to the effect of "Sorry, I ran out and I have another service request to complete, so you'll have to go buy more and fix the rest." End result, they never got done, and we have never once opened the windows in this house out of fear that something might get in. Then there was the any trail. When we finally did get outside to the patio, it was truly an ant graveyard. There were thousands of bodies of ants everywhere. On the floor, on the screen, on the wall, on the glass, it was disgusting. What we failed to realize is that the house was infested with ants of all kinds. Sugar ants mostly, but we had black ants, red ants, and several others. We have been battling these ants with every year that we've been living here, our only relief being during the winter when it's too cold for them to really be there. When we contacted them about the infestation, we were told that it was now our responsibility to handle them since we moved in. I tried numerous times to explain to them that an infestation doesn't happen over night, nor does it happen in the first couple of weeks and that it had to have been taking place well before we moved in. And we still got told that it was our job. I will update with another review down the line when I have more time, but for now, please take this as a warning to never move in with this company. If you see a house with their logo on it, please turn the other way.
am emotionally depressed due to this company who took over the lease from another residential property who is running neck and neck with each other. I am currently still under the first property management company and legally I'm under Progress at all. But they are nothing but money greedy grabbers, who puts fraudulent fees on my account. I recently had to fight and fight about fraudulent fees they had added to my account back in August and when they did that they put me on an eviction status through them and the courts. Once I had to go through he'll and back to show I didn't owe that large balance including The legal fees, the had to credit my account of $1800.00. So I paid them what I knew I owed and the point I should have been at zero balance. Not mentioning the house I'm not livable at all,far as electrical issues. In October, I paid the rent the entire balance of $1426.00 mailed my rent certified mail to their office in . I gets a call 2 weeks later from the collection department stating that I owe $3689.00 and my account is on eviction status. At that point I furious because they received my payment, but haven't posted to my account. They told me they couldn't locate my payments, but was quick to add legal fees in the amount of $700. So I spoke with another *** who submitted a complaint, they closed without a resolution. I emailed them back for an update and if I didn't get resolution I will be seeking further action, few days after that I received a letter stating that located my payment but they couldn't accept my payment unless it was the entire balance,. They are trying so hard to destroy peoples credit with these fraudulent evictions and fees. Please the victims with progress residential needs some legal guidance to take this company down. They're scamming are thousands
Fraudulent company and unethical practices. Please don't ever sign a lease agreement. I am currently going back and forth (via email) with their dispute department regarding unsubstantiated and egregious charges. I followed all move-out instructions upon vacating the property. However, the company added charges to my account (NO NOTICE) for interior paint (walls only) damages totaling $1170.40. The property was spotless and there was only "ordinary wear and tear" from a few picture frames and one television. Per their move-out instructions, any walls with nail holes could be spackled. They even provided the brand that is needed to spackle the holes. Yet, this crooked company decided to arbitrarily charge my account for $1170.40. As I outlined this information to their dispute department (via email), the response I received was to call a *** number and submit my dispute in writing. However, there were no instructions provided on where to send a formal complaint in writing. Also, I requested several times to be contacted directly (via phone) to discuss the matter. Nothing except for a *** number. I also spoke to a representative on 11/16/2022 and they couldn't even tell me who my contact person is. The whole ordeal has been unethical and unprofessional. I am fed up...I want these charges removed immediately!I have paid so much in rent to this company that it's ridiculous. Their maintenance department is a joke. You have to submit multiple requests and then they'll say that your case is closed when a technician never came to perform service. I have several examples of this documented. The property itself was in poor conditions even though it was new. I can't even count how many times a doorknob fell completely off. The doors of the laundry room or guest room would not close properly. The toilet paper handles kept falling off. Clearly, there was poor workmanship from the builders, and they just approved it to get people into the homes prematurely.
This company are crooks. We have a lease with them and still they continue charging us month to month fees which we will not pay. We have talked with them over and over and over again and nothing is done. They are claiming we have a balance of $2000 when we have paid them every single month that we have lived here for the last 3 years. There is no reason for this, they are crooks and have the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. This issue still has no resolution other then many harassing phone calls my husband receives. I am in no way shocked by how BAD this rating is. They need to get it together
This Really Has To Be *** Ever, why because here we are AGAIN. Over the summer I went without AIR for a month and several days until that was finally resolved after I made several complaints... Now its the HEAT in the home that is not working and this has been going on for about a week and a half. No one from progress nor the outside source has contacted me about the issue or even came back to the house to correct the issue. So again im having to write nasty complaints why, because nothing can ever be resolved in a timely manner with this company. Like seriously I honestly just don't understand as to why everyone has to drag their feet when emergency issues arises and there are small children in the home BUT let that rent be a day late and they have no problem with reaching out to you 5 times day to see when you making a payment... I swear if it wasn't for me not being able to find somewhere else decent to reside I would have been moved from here!
I WOULD GIVE NO STARS!
I WOULD GIVE NO STARS! THIS COMPANY IS AWFUL. RUDE. UN-PROFESSIONAL. THIEVES. LIARS. THE LIST COULD GO ON & ON. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF LEASING WITH THEM, ITS BEEN NON STOP ISSUES. WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, THE GAS WASNT ON, TEMPS IN THE HOME WERE FREEZING, WE DIDNT HAVE HOT WATER EITHER. WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO CALL GAS COMPANY AND PAY FOR THEM TO COME OUT, WHICH ALL UTILITIES WERE ALREADY SUPPOSED TO BE ON. THE METER WAS LOCKED AND HAD TO HAVE GAS COMPANY UNLOCK IT. THEN THE GAS FURNANCE WOULDNT LIGHT AND WE WERE TOLD WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO CALL SOMEONE PROFESSIONAL TO COME LIGHT IT, AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO COVER THAT EXPENSE AS WELL. AFTER ALL SAID AND DONE, 3 DAYS LATER WE FINALLY HAD HEAT AND HOT WATER. COUPLE MONTHS IN THE HOME, THE FLOORING STARTED COMING UP, WE CALLED AND REPORTED IT. THEY TOLD US IT WOULD BE AWHILE BECAUSE OF COVID THAT THESE WOULD PROBABLY GET FIXED. MONTHS LATER FLOORS ARE WORSE (TRIP HAZARD TO SAY THE LEAST), FINALLY WERE TOLD TO SEND IN PICTURES. AWHILE LATER MAINTENANCE CAME TO REVIEW THE FLOORS. HE HAD NO CLUE THAT PICTURES WERE ALREADY SENT IN AND REVIEWED BY OFFICE. WAS TOLD THEY WOULD GET SOMEONE OVER TO FIX. THEY SENT OVER A (JANKY) COMPANY THEY HIRED TO DO THE JOB, THE JOB THEY HAD DONE WAS AWFUL. GLUE LEFT EVERYWHERE, WRONG COLOR CAULKING, THEY COMPLETLY SCUFFED ALL THE WALLS UP, LEAVING CHIPS,SCUFFS,BLACK MARKS THROUGHOUT. BASE BOARDS LOOKED AWFUL. NEXT ISSUE WE'VE HAD, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE TOILETS LEAKING! NOT JUST A LITTLE LEAK, AND LEAK LEAVING FILTHY WATER RUNNING DOWN THE BASEBOARDS, ALL THROUGH THE TILE GROUT, HORRIBLE SMELL. WE REPORTED THIS ISSUE MANY TIMES, FINALLY SENT SOMEONE OUT TO FIX, IT LOOKED LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD FIXED THE TOILET. CAULKING WAS SMEARED ALL AROUND BASE, TOILET ROCKED BACKED AND FORTH, MIND YOU THE TOILET WAS NOT FIXED. NEXT ISSUE, OUR TREE OUT FRONT, APPARENTLY WASNT AT ALL HEALTHY, THE STORM BROKE ONE OF THE BIG LIMBS OF THE TREE OFF, WE PAID SOMEONE TO HAUL OFF THE LIMB. WASNT RE-IMBURSED THAT EXPENSE. SECOND STORM, TREE CRACKED MORE, ANOTHER LIMB DOWN, SAME ISSUE. WE REPORTED THIS TREE SEVERAL TIMES AND SENT IN PICTURES THE ENTIRE TIME OF WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT. AT THIS POINT THE TREE WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM FALLING ON THE HOUSE OR FALLING ON SOMEONE. THEY FINALLY SENT A CREW OUT TO REMOVE THE TREE. WHEN THE CREW CUT THE TREE DOWN, IT LITERALLY FELL RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HUGE OUTSIDE WINDOW, ONTO THE SHRUBS IN THE FLOWERBED, WHICH WE WATCHED THE WHOLE THING HAPPEN ON CAMERA. ANY PROFESSIONAL CREW WOULD HAVE HAD THE TREE FALL AWAY FROM THE HOME. BUT NOT THE CASE HERE AT ALL... WE HAD A MANAGER COME OUT AND LOOK AT THE HOME AND ALL THE ISSUES WE ADDRESSED SEVERAL TIMES. MANAGER COMES OUT, TELLS US THE ISSUES WE HAVE HAD ARE UN-ACCEPTABLE, AND PROMISES TO GET SOME OF THEM TAKEN CARE OF. NOT ONE TIME DID WE EVER HEAR BACK FROM THIS MAN! AND HE WAS A "SUPERVISOR" FOR THIS COMPANY! THOSE ISSUES ASIDE. WE'VE BEEN CHARGED SEVERAL TIMES FEE'S THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CHARGED, HAVE SPENT HOURS ON HOLD OR ON THE PHONE OVER THE 1 YEAR OF LEASING FROM THIS COMPANY. EVERYTIME YOU GET SOMEONE ON THE PHONE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY ARE COMPLETLY RUDE AND UN-HELPFUL! WONT EVER LET YOU SPEAK TO UPPER MANAGMENT. WONT REMOVE THE FEE'S, WHEN PROVEN THEY SHOULDNT BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. LOCKED OUT OF OUR PAYMENT PORTAL, AND NOONE WILL HELP GET IT UNLOCKED SO A PAYMENT CAN BE MADE. FOUND OUT THEY'VE BEEN CHARGING US FOR RENTAL INSURANCE, WHEN WE PAY FOR THAT SEPERATELY ON OUR OWN POLICY. WHICH WAS A HUGE MESS IN THE BEGINNING TO GET SET UP AND ON FILE WITH PROGRESS. PROGRESS KNOWS WE PAY FOR RENTAL INSURANCE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL DOCUMENTATION AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR LEASE. TOLD US WE NEED TO CALL A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT TO GET THEM TO STOP CHARGING US AND GET REIMBURSED FOR THE CHARGES THEY HAVE ALREADY CHARGED. BASICALLY STEALING MONEY! IM SURE THERE ARE THINGS IM LEAVING OFF TO WRITE ABOUT. BUT FROM WHAT I DID WRITE, YOU GET THE GIST ON HOW TERRIBLE LEASING FROM THIS COMPANY IS! A COMPANY WITH THIS MANY BAD REVIEWS, DEFINITELY IS A SIGN TO STAY AWAY!
I would rate this company 0 stars if it was possible
I would rate this company 0 stars if it was possible. Probably the worst customer service I have ever encountered on multiple occasions. I set up my auto pay through their rent cafe program with a Progress Residential rep on the phone. After months of checking the website and showing that I am enrolled in auto pay, I received a notice of demand to vacate premises. I could not figure out how I had a remaining balance with both my utilities and rent on auto pay. I called their customer service to figure out what was going on. On the first call, I was told that I would receive a call back in 1-3 business days. You could imagine my shock with such a sensitive matter. I called back and asked for another rep because surely I could find someone to help me right? An employee walked me through statements on the next call and long story short- I was enrolled in auto pay for rent and utilities, but there was not an end year on the end date of the utilities. Instead it had auto populated to 0/0/00. I don't even understand how this is an option when setting up. The way their system is set up is that the most outstanding balance is paid first up to current, regardless of if it is rent or utilities. Extremely confusing since you set it up separately. So it was paying my utilities (which was not correctly set up), but not the total of rent and then adding $125 in a late fee each month because of the shortage. This went on for 4+ months without my knowledge. I assumed it was coming out since I was receiving emails with statements and I was showing that I was enrolled in auto pay. A huge misunderstanding and miscommunication on both ends. I asked if there was a way to omit the late fees and I would pay up to current at the moment. The rep said they are not waiving late fees at this time regardless of the confusion and "that yeah there has been a lot of complaints for the same issue". If it's a continual problem then why not address it? And why bring this up in such a casual manner to a frustrated customer trying to resolve the issue at hand. So I was totaled to pay $625 in late fees on top of the amount that was due. I paid over 70% of the $1450+ to keep from any kind of eviction. I was told to set up a payment plan for the remaining and transferred to a long wait. I prompted the option to call me back and went on with my day. No one ever reached out, no voicemail, email..nothing. I called back and spoke with "collections" on a payment plan- they said they have no record of a request to call back by the way too. Their payment plan is only on current payments. Meaning they will give you a couple extra days to pay but still charge you a late fee. Why even call to hold for 20 mins to get the same late fee with a plan as without? To my understanding, they can't waive the past late fees or future ones on a misunderstanding on their rent cafe. This isn't the only problem I have run into with Progress Residential either. It took them over a month to come and fix my unreachable garage- structural damage which is immediate according to their policy. I was locked out of my home due to the garage spring not opening and was told to call and pay for a locksmith out of my own pocket because their emergency response team couldn't help me. Again, what's the point of having a service you cannot offer? I was initially told I would be reimbursed for the charge...and then told that they would not reimburse because I should have left my top lock unlocked on my front door. Guess I should have anticipated that the garage door would break? Whatever. Another time our pipe burst in the front yard and raw sewage was coming up the shower. I called with no answer and created online service tickets without a response until the following week. (this was during the insane freeze of 2021) I get that it was a very chaotic time, but to not respond that long was negligible. I had to call the city to help and was lucky enough that they did since it was the homeowner's responsibility and not the city's. It has been a complete nightmare renting from Progress Residential. I cannot wait for our lease to be up. I will NEVER return or refer such an unprofessional, greedy company to anyone.
WORST COMPANY TO RENT FROM!
WORST COMPANY TO RENT FROM! This is an complaint in response to the reply on our review of Progress that Rich M. told us to email him. Go figure no response to this either. Rich likes to make people feel the company cares by saying how sorry he is and to please email him. HaHa HaHa The company's Instagram account saw this same message yet not a soul felt the need to reach out to us. Only once did anyone reply to the messages, saying someone would contact us immediately. As usual not a soul tried to contact us. Here is a list of concern/issues that were never fixed or never even acknowledged. 1958 Carpathian Drive Apopka, FL 32712 The very first service request we put in was the handle on the bathroom shower. It was loose when we first moved in and then it slowly started to break off. It broke off and I put the work order in. Took at least 4 months for them to contact me even after I called twice to check up on the job order. We ended up fixing ourselves. Which is ridiculous as we shouldn't pay out of pocket for a place we rent. Master bath: Chipped sink, as in the enamel was gone and when we moved in it was painted over. The paint has gone away quickly. 1x broken soap holder in shower Master bedroom: 1x window unable to lock Bedroom 2: 1x nonfunctional light switch Bedroom 3: 2x nonfunctional light switches Livingroom: 2x nonfunctional wall switches Many outlets nonfunctional 1x window unable to lock 1x window seal falling out Multiple loss tiles Cracked/missing grout around tiles 1x broke tile -this specific tile is sticking up unevenly. The tile broke off in the corner sticking furthest up it is rather sharp for the little toes running around. All because the floor was never leveled. probably another shortcut of the company. Front door: Has to be locked with deadbolt or it does not latch well and will randomly open Outside: Electrical box needs repair - service gent said he had to get it authorized but never heard from again.

WORST COMPANY TO RENT FROM!
WORST COMPANY TO RENT FROM! Property: 1958 Carpathian Drive Apopka, FL 32712 Rented: March2020 to March This is an complaint in response to the reply on our review of Progress that Rich M. told us to email him. Go figure no response to this either. Rich likes to make people feel the company cares by saying how sorry he is and to please email him. HaHa HaHa The company's Instagram account saw this same message yet not a soul felt the need to reach out to us. Only once did anyone reply to the messages, saying someone would contact us immediately. As usual not a soul tried to contact us. Here is a list of concern/issues that were never fixed or never even acknowledged The very first service request we put in was the handle on the bathroom shower. It was loose when we first moved in and then it slowly started to break off. It broke off and I put the work order in. Took at least 4 months for them to contact me even after I called twice to check up on the job order. We ended up fixing ourselves. Which is ridiculous as we shouldn't pay out of pocket for a place we rent. Master bath: Chipped sink, as in the enamel was gone and when we moved in it was painted over. The paint has gone away quickly. 1x broken soap holder in shower 1x window unable to lock Bedroom 2: 1x nonfunctional light switch Bedroom 3: 2x nonfunctional light switches Livingroom: 2x nonfunctional wall switches Many outlets nonfunctional 1x window unable to lock 1x window seal falling out Multiple loss tiles Cracked/missing grout around tiles 1x broke tile -this specific tile is sticking up unevenly. The tile broke off in the corner sticking furthest up it is rather sharp for the little toes running around. All because the floor was never leveled. probably another shortcut of the company. Front door: Has to be locked with deadbolt or it does not latch well and will randomly open Outside: Electrical box needs repair - service gent said he had to get it authorized but never heard from again. Had the A/C fixed recently and the service gent was baffled how the company would allow this to be without concern to fix. One electrician came out and fixed a couple of switches/outlets.

There will never be any solid resolutions as the accounting department refuses to give you a supervisor. You are only able to email them. If you give any push back they just hang up on you (3 times back to back for me). We are now renting with American Homes 4 Rent. Their customer service is by far amazing and could not be happier!

I am a current tenant with Progress Residential for 3 years now and was living a peaceful life until I requested to paint the fence due to its curb appeal. The fence was fixed by one of their contracted companies, that did a subpar job. Progress stated that I would need to get approval from HOA. I waited to receive correspondence from a Progress Representative. On September 1 an email was sent to HOA regarding my request. That request was approved on September 8 at 11:07 am to paint the fence. I was to preface this by stating, I have NEVER received so much as a warning in the 2 years prior to this date and I care for my yard, better then 95% of the community. It is my belief that this request to HOA sparked a notification to them that my home was now occupied by a renter, as I was the first tenant after they purchased and renovated the home. This has now placed me under the renters scope. Ironically, I received an HOA violation on September 15 stating that my grass was a nuisance. A picture was sent to me in Black and White and you could clearly see that it was no violation or was it a nuisance. I verbally disputed this matter immediately after I received notice on it and was charged $45 for what Progress calls an admin fee. A fee that I should have never been charged in the first place. After numerous calls and complaints regarding the matter, Progress calls themselves approving a "one time courtesy" credit of the $45 to my account. One week after thinking that the issue was resolved, a lawn company knocks on my door regarding my grass and was supposedly there to service my lawn. He and his associate were taking pictures of my lawn and stated that "there was nothing to do here". I asked "who sent you here?" and the gentlemen stated that "progress created a work order to resolve the lawn issue". With the images that the company took it was clear that nothing needed to be done and it was documented within their system. A new charge of $60 was assessed to my account with a Job# that I had no knowledge was created. Progress stated this charge was assessed to resolve a matter where one didn't exist. Proof was submitted on October 1st of such to Progress HOA department and nothing was done about it. With the submitted proof, progress has yet to be able to explain to me why a job was created or why I was charged for said job. Progress still has the case opened and has yet to resolve the matter, but guess what? A subtle threat was made regarding that charge and she stated " If I don't pay the full balance regarding the $60 charge that I will have to pay a late fee of $150 even though there is a case opened on the matter. So of course, I pay my rent as usual. despite the money they now owe me. I now have another HOA violation for my sons car being parked on the street momentarily before he left for school at 9:07:52 am on October 15 which is a Wednesday. This of course again was disputed and it took them 1 month and 2 weeks to deny the dispute and assessed $45 charge to my account. The violation alleged the car was parked overnight, yet they could not provide proof of such. The car was not parked there over night nor is it a violation of any HOA that I have on file. I spoke to who was listed as the Progress HOA head, asking how I was assessed a violation for something that states a car was parked over night, yet the one picture they submitted showed 9:07am only. I asked him to show me where this shows a violation on any HOA rule, he has yet to provide such proof. His exact response was that my county has a law for it. I asked him to send that to me also, he has yet to do that. However there is no such law that exist in my county. I patiently awaited him to send me something I knew did not exist. This HOA manager is aiding in the extortion process of tenants money and it will not be tolerated. I am filing against Progress with the state.I requested open records of all said violations within my community and I have yet to receive them. This is a clear example of Renters rights being violated and Progress has since charged me more money for fraudulent violations and no one will respond to my request. My lease is due for renewal and I was advised that I will get a return call regarding such matters and no one has called me back for weeks. Progress has very poor communication. Despite the fact that I have proof of every situation and stated that I am being harassed, Progress continues to not care and continues to charge tenants for nothing. Its theft and extortion! No matter how little the amount is. It's theft. My plan is to submit violations to the state, to ensure they send me the public record request I submitted multiple times and ensure they are following all renter related laws in full.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
I have lived in my house that I rent from progress residential for almost two years
I have lived in my house that I rent from progress residential for almost two years. I did not call to file a work order for over a year and a half. On June 16th we had a pipe leak in the wall. Progress residential was very quick to send someone to fix it. after it was fixed it was still leaking. I called the vendor who was amazing and they were back within the hour. Our water was shut off for most of the day. The next day the water was still leaking. The water to the house was shut off. And for 12 days we could not live in our house. There was no water whatsoever. Five of those days we couldn't even come into the house because it was pending the results of an asbestos test. Once the test results came in we had to stay out while the areas of the home where the walls were cut in were treated for the asbestos poisoning. Because this is the time of COVID-19 my job relocated everyone to work from home. While we were homeless I had to find a place that I could set up my home office that had secure Wi-Fi internet access. So my children and I couldn't stay at a hotel. So my renter's insurance had nothing to pay on the claim I filed so it was closed right away. I got a call from Patrick at Progress residential. He let me know that he was assigned to assist through the process. I asked him about credit on my rent since we couldn't be in my house. He advised me that I would get credit for the days that we couldn't live in our home. Once we were able to come back in our house we were living with one bathroom. The master bathroom. In that bathroom it only had a toilet and a stand up shower. For the next 2 months we had to wash our hands in the kitchen. So, we had to walk from the master bathroom through the house to the kitchen to wash our hands after using the toilet. (hey friends, thanks for coming over and hanging out. Oh, you need to go to the bathroom? Please ignore my bedroom. When you're done in there please be sure to open the door with your elbows since I don't want your toilet hands touching the doorknob. Or maybe after you go in the kitchen and wash your hands you can go back with a Clorox wipe and clean the doorknob that you touched with your toilet touching hands. Fun times. One can imagine the effect this had on my social life.) Obviously with no bathroom think we were also brushing our teeth in the kitchen, fixing our hair in the kitchen (Yum. Just what I want hair where I cook and eat my food!,) Washing our hands after sneezing or anything. Just in the kitchen. When my July rent came due I spoke with Patrick, my liaison for this issue for the last time. I had lost his phone number, if he had ever even given it to me. Despite multiple calls, conversations with other areas and departments of progress residential, emails, voicemails to phone numbers and people that I had contact with previously, and requests through their websites no one would provide me with Patrick's phone number again. And no one else could tell me about the credit. When I spoke with him at the end of June I asked him why my July rent was not credited. I was told that I would not get the credit until all of the work was done. Another representative from progress residential called me a few weeks later. I asked her again about the credit to our rent. She was very nice and kind. She told me she was the representative that worked with the vendor. I asked her about credit for the time we were back in our house and it was still being worked on. I was told as long as the house had running water, electricity, air conditioning and a fully functioning bathroom they do not credit even if your rent you pay covers you having two bathrooms. I let her know we did not have a full functioning bathroom. And she told me that we would get partial credit for all of the days that we did not have a full functioning bathroom. She advise me to keep track of the days. she could not tell me what the credit would be. She told me that I had to speak with Patrick. I asked her for Patrick's phone number and she said she would have him call me. He never did. At the end of July I received my lease renewal papers that did not include the amount of the rent for the new lease. I got another email the beginning of August. This one was from a person, and not a bot. I emailed him back and asked him to please show me the amount of the new rent. My rent was being raised (is) by over $130 a month. I asked this progress residential employee about the credit to my current rent. He said he didn't know anything about it. I told him my point of contact was Patrick. He didn't know Patrick because Patrick is in the local market. And he could not provide me his phone number. He did tell me he would look into it and get back to me. This was on August 7th. I have not heard back from him about this credit. Despite multiple additional emails. I asked the leasing agent why the rent was going up so much. Was it to cover all of the work that had to be done? He said the rent is not being raised because of the money it cost to fix the house. I was told it is because there aren't any houses available in the market right now. I researched and it is true they are not many houses available in my general area. During the last week of repairs there were two days where the new toilet and sinks were being installed where we were unable to use the bathroom. My boys were able to relieve themselves outside. I had to drive across the street to Target. Which ended up costing me $120. The bathrooms were finally put back together and all of the work was completed on August 13th. After the work was complete I got a phone call from a progress residential call center employee who was calling to check on us after the work was completed and to find out if I was satisfied with the job that was done. 'Yes thank you. The new bathroom floors, and the new bathtub shower and the main bathroom are very nice. Can you please tell me when I am going to get the credit on the rent for the days that I did not have a full functioning bathroom and the days that I could not live in my house?" He could not tell me. He was going to email the local market and they would get back to me. It is now August 25th. I have not heard back from anyone about crediting my lease. But I have heard two more times from the company about raising my rent. And that if I didn't want it raised I would need to find comparable houses in the area and send them to them and have the owner review to approve to not raise the rent that much. The company owns the house. I was told that the owner is considered the local market. I called customer service yesterday. I held for 20 minutes. Then I was transferred to the payment department. It was not the payment department. It was the collection department. they take money there they don't give money there. They told me that I needed to speak with the local office and they would email Patrick because he was in the local office. but she could not provide me his phone number she did not have authorization to give that out. Now I have missed the 60-day window to provide my notice and intent to move out. So it looks like I'll be signing a lease. And for the next year I will be paying over $1650 more in rent.
As a 16 year U
As a 16 year U.S.A.F. veteran, I have been to a few different countries and lived in another. Let me be start by saying that I have never been treated with such a lack of professionalism, respect, and empathy as I have since being a resident with Progress Residential. This treatment been an ongoing from day one, but considering the current state of our country with the COVID-19 epidemic, you'd think you'd find a little more empathy from a landlord, especially having been a four year resident thus far, but it's been quite the opposite. I have been a tenant of Progress Residential for four years; I signed a 12 month lease on my current home in March for $1,440/month. I now pay $1,575.00/month, which is ridiculous for my area (I'm am hour outside of Atlanta); they don't offer any discounts or lower rent for tenants willing to sign longer leases (I was initially willing to sign a 48 month or longer lease) and the rent increases nearly $100/year. I had intentions of purchasing a home and didn't want to move to another rental in between moving here, so that's the only reason I stayed this long and renewed the lease. Within months, issues began and have continued without fail. Their customer service is horrible, I have - on more than one occasion - been told one thing by a representative when I called, only to be told something entirely different by someone else at a later date. They take an insane length of time to return calls or e-mails. And their service technicians (with the exception of Robert, he's been amazing every time he's been out) are unsurpassably unprofessional and rude. I'm highlighting a few of the biggest issues I've had since moving in, though there are certainly many others. The A/C has went out EVERY single year, without fail, since I moved in, starting just a few months after moving into this home and continuing as recently as a couple weeks ago. The HVAC company that came out in 2018 advised me the unit needs to be replaced, but Progress Residential refused to replace it. Instead, they do the bare minimum repairs each year to get by, even though it leaves me without A/C (in GA in a two story home where the upstairs is nearly 100 degrees and the downstairs unit then has to work overtime to help cool, causing a soaring electric bill) for days to a week at a time. The stove and microwave both had to be replaced within the first 12 months; the technician who came out to finally install the microwave was beyond rude to my girlfriend, who called out of work to be present for the service technician (this is after they tried to get out of coming to replace it as scheduled and wanted to come another day). I was without a stove for nearly a week and the representative I initially spoke with assured me I would be credited for the groceries that had gone to waste (I do meal delivery kits and they all require a stove; they. of course, arrived a day or so before the stove went out and because of how long it took to get the stove replaced, they had to be thrown out), but when I called back after seeing no credit on my next month's rent, I was told the opposite. More than once, their technicians have not shown up as scheduled (and did not bother to call to inform me), so my girlfriend not only lost work for the scheduled days they were supposed to arrive, but then had to miss work the rescheduled days for them to arrive. Also more than once technicians showed up an hour past the window I was given - also, with no communication from them to let me know they were running late. Two have now shown up to my home with attitudes and were rude (the most recent was just a couple weeks ago and he was asked to leave my home because of how rude he was to my girlfriend the moment she opened the door; he didn't even introduce himself/say he was here on behalf of Progress Residential, he was immediately rude and confrontational to her so I asked him to leave and I called Progress Residential to complain and request a different technician - they sent Robert, who has been to my home numerous time and is very pleasant to work with). I have just recently discovered that Progress Residential is trying to charge me a $75 service fee for asking this rude man to leave my home, instead of apologizing for the deplorable behavior of the technicians who represent them; they don't seem to care that one of their technicians made us uncomfortable in our home due to his rudeness and confrontational attitude, we're expected to allow that into our homes, apparently. I am disputing this charge as there is absolutely no excuse for tolerating behavior like that, or expecting tenants to allow someone so blatantly rude into their home, especially when they didn't bother to introduce themselves when coming to the door before turning their back on the tenant and walking away. In the course of about a year, I made numerous service calls to address a leaking back door (anytime there was rain, the breakfast area/living room area by the kitchen flooded). Each technician that came out failed to correct the problem so I called in 7 or so service calls about this flooding. I also expressed to them that the constant flooding was causing water damage to the door frame and the floors in that area. My concern is they are going to try to scam me out of my deposit for damage to the floors when it was their fault for not fixing the problem - taking nearly a year to finally diagnose and properly fix the issue (the last technician who came out said the prior technicians didn't even appear to have done anything to remedy the water entering my home) means a lot of water damage from standing water on wood floors (when I'm at work and unable to put towels down, water would be standing on the floors for 12 hours/day). I asked each of the technicians to take photos and document the damage, to cover me as a tenant, but at this point, I have no faith that the damage was properly documented - so it's being explained and documented in my review for when I do move out. The carpeting in the upstairs of my home is cheap and has been separating from the doorways in two rooms exposing the tacks that get stepped on frequently; this has also been expressed to technicians for documentation but nothing has been done. The edges of the stairs are bare in places from the carpeting threads coming loose just from regular walking up/down the stair ways (showing the carpeting is cheap). Again, my concern is being charged for "damages" even though the carpeting isn't damaged, it's just cheap and needs to be stretched/re-tacked at a minimum. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets had clearly been painted before I moved in, but the doors and drawers weren't left open to properly dry (nor were the inner shelves removed before painting) so they stuck badly at first and have since chipped due to not being painted properly. The knobs are cheap and the kitchen knobs have started to almost decompose from steam from the stove. The countertop in the kitchen isn't level and it sinks down in several areas. There's an open area underneath the kitchen sink that should have a baseboard. There's also a piece of linoleum in the kitchen that was ripped before I moved in - no walk through was done with me prior to moving in, so I'm certainly concerned they'll try to put that on me. The refrigerator is old and small - especially small for the space in the kitchen; there's no water dispenser and it has a very small storage capacity with gaping areas on each side due to not having a large enough fridge to fill the designated area. Aside from the recent rude technician that Progress is trying to charge me for after asking him to leave, there is one other recent issue that has b infuriated. In January, I had to request a service call for a constantly flowing toilet in the master bath. It took nearly a week for it to be repaired, so a week of constantly running water. Toilet was fixed (stopper, a minor issue) and I thought that was it until I saw the water and sewage bill in February for January. I called and explained that the toilet had been running constantly, and that, since it was Progress' issue for not getting it replaced sooner, they should credit the difference in my water/sewage bill (they have four years to compare the use to in order to see m water/sewage bill has never been that high). The lady I spoke with told me she couldn't issue a credit but that she would send it on to a supervisor to review; my rent was due, so I was advised to just pay the normal rate and wait for the supervisor to contact me back to adjusted my bill accordingly. I did just that; my rent and normal utilities were paid as usual, on time laving only the $200 or so balance for the water/sewer overage caused by the toilet repair taking a week to get to. Now, I have my rent for April coming up due and on top of the $75 charge for the rude technician, they are also trying to charge me a $125 late fee for the unpaid water/sewage bill (which, I might add, no supervisor ever bothered to reach back out to me to let me know what was going on; they decided to credit all of $10 back to my account despite having doubled during the toilet fiasco). So, $75 rude technician service fee + $125 late fee for rent I paid on time = $200, + $200 in additional water/sewage caused from a running toilet that took a week to fix and Progress is putting that on me. Topping it off, we're in the midst of a COVID-19 epidemic where many people, myself included, have no income. Hands down, Progress Residential is absolutely the worst rental company. This is how Progress treats their tenants regularly, and as made clear in the past few days, they take extra advantage of their tenants during a crisis. Someone out of work due to the epidemic and you're charging them an additional $400 on top of their normal bills as if they can afford to be scammed? Deplorable, inexcusable, and heartless. I've tried addressing my issues directly with Progress Residential, but their customer service is horrible, they don't respond to tenants to address and resolve issues, and given the current economical state, I can't continue to sit around hopeful that just once, they will make things right and do the right thing, so I've chosen to pursue the Complaintsboard.com and leaving reviews everywhere I can with hopes of saving someone else from going through a similar nightmare with this company and maybe, just maybe, Progress will finally realize how badly they have messed up and reach out to me to rectify this situation, which never should have occurred to begin with.
Progress Residential Property Manager Complaints 17
No show means no disclosure $400 charge
My family and I wanted to lease a home close to our previous home. I paid the $35 application fee and the $400 deposit. After receiving third-party links from Payscore and Persona to invade my personal life, it began to make me sick to my stomach. The cherry on top was all of this scrutiny: "But I was denied permission (outside of photos) to actually look...

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have emailed several requests to Progress Residential in regard to my lease coming to an end and my final move out expenses being incorrect. I have duplicate line items on my final move out invoice that I have tried to have corrected or explained. I have emailed all provided email addresses from Progress Residential and the only communication I ever receive is confirmation for the customer service department via email that my case has been received and that a member would reach out soon. Its been over 4 weeks now and I have issues stacking up that more than likely could have been resolved in less than 5 minutes if I could speak with my Property Manager. There is no direct way of communicating with Progress Residential and it appears that the company policies are not accommodating to providing the needed service to their tenants. I am a victim of this company and I have several hours wasted in emailing them and writing Complaintsboard.com complaints. What is Complaintsboard.com doing about this company having over 600 complaints in our community in the last 12 months? My issues are not a one off with this company it is ongoing as over 600 other complaints have been filed with Complaintsboard.com. Someone needs to look into management as they are clearly not doing their job and should have never been in the customer service industry.
i co-signed as a guarantor on a rental property for through 2021. as of 9/20/22, they were able to renew their lease and RELEASE me as guarantor...i keep seeing this on my credit report and i have sent multiple emails to multiple addresses for this company and NO ONE responds. i want this removed from my credit report immediately as it affects my debt to income ratio. even tho im not even responsible for this lease anymore. see attached for release info.10946
I started renting with progress residential in October 2022. Since moving in we have had multiple concerns. Prior to moving in after viewing the home and filling out the application, we notified progress of issues with smoke detectors, back door lock and cleanliness of the home. They did not send someone out to clean the home until after we had already signed the lease and moved in. They sent someone out to fix the back door lock and detectors but after a few hours we had the repeat issue. I had to spend money out of my own pocket to fix the back door properly. The carbon monoxide detectors we tried to schedule an appointment for but they just schedule without telling us and I cant afford to take off work. We then had the water main break which thankfully they did send someone out to fix. But that night we also had a leak in our ceiling. The first time I called they said they filed a ticket but when I didnt hear back I called again and they said it was never filed. They sent someone out to repair who I had to kick out of my home due to not even fixing it and spray painting over the leak marks. I have also filed multiple complaints about a *** violation that I have been trying to fight due to being invalid. Every time I call progress, they say the *** department will call me back and I have yet to receive a single call. Now the icing on the cake is they charged me $125 late fee when I prepay my rent before it is even due. We have a credit balance on our account so I dont know how I get a late fee when I always carry a credit.
There was a previous complaint regarding begin charged for a deck the organization demolished because its wasnt safe, and doing so they did refund $100.00/12mths=1,200 I accept because that would be the price without a home with a deck. Furthermore, its time to renew the lease where I felt since the deck isnt present it would be adjusted according(adjusted price, not increase price, and new legal contract showing deck was removed). They wanted to increase the right $40 and dont rewrite the lease indicating deck was removed, now they would keep the lease the same and promised to update the lease which is a bonded legal document. That defiantly leaving price as is illegally, would be to prices to move at this time when I pleaded to be removed last year was ignored. I need the lease to be adjusted accordingly based on the law with legal contacts. I feel forced to pay for the price without the deck but I need indicated on the lease no deck and price removes the same until I move next year. Horrible they was going to increase by *** to gain more and still gaining renting home with what was promised.

I have been residing at my current address for almost 5 years.
I have been residing at my current address for almost 5 years now, under the ownership of Progress Residential. The policy changes they've implemented are unreasonable, including a triple rent increase, even for Section 8 Housing tenants. As I'm currently unemployed and addressing mental health issues, I've discussed with them the impossibility of affording a rent hike. Despite this, they sent a lease agreement with a consistent rate of $915, which I mistakenly signed on the last page without realizing. They refuse to acknowledge this error, despite our prior verbal agreement. Their customer service has been appalling; they've mocked my situation and threatened to send my account to collections, even though the new rate isn't effective until June. I've overheard employees laughing at me, which is humiliating. Despite being a reliable tenant for years, they won't allow me to speak with managers or provide contact details. My search revealed they might be associated with Pretium, but my calls are dismissed. With the current economy, I can't afford the exorbitant rents in the metro area, and I'm at risk of homelessness and credit damage. I urgently need assistance to address this rent increase as a HUD Section Housing Applicant and prevent my impending eviction.

I am getting collection calls from this business once a week. My rent is paid on time every month, my balance is zero on my account and shows that on my payment portal. I have asked these calls to stop and they assure me every time that they will and I am still receiving them. I just received a call from a recording this afternoon stating I owe over $4700. I need someone to make these calls stop. I want a call from this company guaranteeing me that these calls will stop. This is absurd. This company is harassing me on a weekly basis. My next step will be to contact an attorney.
Progress Residential has charged my resident account for $200.00 for damages that were in our home upon move-in. We have mold all through our master bedroom shower, cracks in the floor and the foundation of the home, windows that do not work properly and roofing issues that have not been addressed, I have escalated my complaint several times with no solution.
I recently moved out of *** effective Dec 31, 2022. Progress Residential refuses to issue security deposit check in my name even though I was the sole person that paid first month rent and $1785 security deposit. They said it is their policy to issue refunds to whomever appears on the lease. Since I had 2 roommates they will only issue a 3-party check. I told them that I could provide bank statements and notarized affidavit to establish who paid those fees but their financial department still refused to budge. My bank told me that they would not cash 3-party check and said it would be considered worthless. My relationship with former roommates has diminished and they have already relocated out of state. I'm extremely upset and disappointed that I may be out of any refund of my security deposit since their check would be deemed worthless.
Our family was without heat from December 18- January 4 due to Progress Residentials carelessness. Their maintenance every team contracted a third party that they worked in conjunction with and failed to deliver quality work. Their neglience resulted in ducts not being properly connected so no heat was able to flow through the unit. They then refused to fix the error despite *** their emergency maintenance line and sending in work orders via email. The temperature in house was 40. The manager from Progress Residental told me that this a timely response. That manager should be fired and the company fined for failing to provide heat in the middle of a winter storm.
Progress Residential (PR) is a highly unethical company devoid of integrity, ethics and accountability involving their residents
Progress Residential (PR) is a highly unethical company devoid of integrity, ethics and accountability involving their residents. The matters below is a high-level overview of 2 of the many concerns:We moved into PR property on 3/3/2022. 7 days after moving in, we received a HOA violation for failure to maintain the lawn. We immediately reached out to PR to ask if they had intentions on sodding the damaged lawn, removing the overgrown weeds and trimming the *** left unattended for months. In fact, the neighbors mentioned complaining to *** about PR for nearly 8 months. After a complete months of me constantly calling, emailing and complaining, PR finally sent someone out on April 25, 2022 to have them Sod the lawn, trim over grown weeds and fix the severely damaged water sprinklers that still have problems in the front and back of the yard. This issue was caused by PR willful neglect and failure to maintain this property.Fast Forward to June 20, 2022, we receive another notice from *** with Ashton *** HOA that we were in violation of Ashton *** HOA for failure to maintain our lawn. I immediately called *** and emailed her regrading the incorrect faulty charges as we mow our lawn bi-weekly or weekly depending on how frequent it rains during rainy season. We sent pictures with proof. She acknowledged this was an error and sent communication to PR to remove any charges from our acct. We also proactively engage PR to ensure charges would not be applied to our July ***. Despite our proactive efforts to address this a month in advance, Progress Residential still charged us $45 on a faulty HOA violation.We also received trash charges for $16.44 on our July Invoice that should have never been applied since we NEVER used the trash service through this company. We've used *** since moving into this property and were advised by PR CSR, *** that we would be refund and no further charges added to our acct.

In December we were charged with double rent, a month to month fee and threatened *** with an eviction notice. We called numerous times and were put on hold for over 30 minutes each time. Once we were able to speak to someone, a case was opened but the only thing taken off was the double rent fee. The month to month fee, late fee and demand letter fee were still there. It has now been a month and still nothing has been changed. For *** we were charged a double rent fee again and another month to month fee even though we are moving out on the 10th of ***. We have never missed or been late on a payment. We have also asked multiple times to speak to a supervisor and they said theyd call in two days never called back. We spoke to several departments and are currently waiting to see if any of these charges will be dropped.
On October 6, 2022, an *** violation was placed on my account in the amount of $210. I called Progress Residential to inquire about this charge because we had already provided proof (that was accepted) to the *** that the problem had been resolved. On October 11, 2022, a case was opened regarding my complaint (Case number ***). On October 19, 2022 I received an email from *** stating "Unfortunately, lawn violation fees tend too be valid, however as a curtsey you are eligible for a one time concession of $210 to be credited back to your ledger." On October 25, 2022 I responded to the email that I would like to proceed with the concession. On November 1, 2022 I payed all charges on my account except the $210 that I was told would be credited back to my ledger. The fees due on November 1, 2022 totaled $2490.69, which I paid. However, Progress Residential put the payment towards the $210 fee leaving a balance of $193 in rent and a $17 smart home fee totaling $210. Since then I have called and several cases have been opened and closed all stating that I need to appeal the violation first. This was not mentioned in the original email on October 19th from ***. Also I gave notice that I would be vacating at the end of my lease December 26, 2022 and payed the prorated rent on December 1, 2022 in the amount of $1924.84 for 26 days. Progress Residential also added a month to month fee of $74.77 and rent for 5 days in the amount of $373.87 on my ledger. I contacted Progress Residential and they ensured me that I did not need to pay the 5 day rent or month to month fee and it would fall off my account. On December 1, 2022 I payed all fees except those and yet I was charged a late fee of $125 which is still on my account as of December 31, 2022.
No response from company ever charges on account that not explained, many many attempts to get work orders in home done .. electrical problems.. something in attic moving and crawling ...so many things need repaired no response dnt like company at all.
This is absolutely one of the worst experiences I've ever had renting a home. The house I rented starting in May 2022 had tons of damage and things wrong with it when I had moved in. On top of that this company also expects you to pay for any maintenance issues even if they were preexisting issues before you move in! How is it the responsibility of the tenant to pay for repairs on a home that were already there to begin with! There was so much water trapped in the walls there was mold growth all over the inside of the kitchen wall. I had no idea where the water was coming from and got total radio silence from this company. Come to find out for whatever reason there is a vent opening above the window that had been left open! Furthermore, the bathroom infrastructure had a preexisting issue with leaking. The bottom floor bathroom would occasionally overflow and leak waste onto the floor! How does a house in a completely unlivable condition get rented out? Something tells me there exists an extreme lack of care with this company. I have thankfully moved on from the property and have nothing to do with it anymore, except this company never gave me my deposit or conducted a check of the property before I moved out. They have ignored my emails, and also ignored my lawyers requests on updates. If you didn't check the property before the move, how can you deduct any damage from the property at all because you have no idea if there is damage at all? When they did decide to get back to my lawyer they informed her that they "may give deposit back but haven't decided yet". How is this even legal or even rational. This company needs to be investigated!
Relocating early October 2022, my spouse and I encountered rental challenges
Relocating in the beginning of October 2022, my husband and I went through Progress Residential to find a rental home. We put in an application for a property, and were accepted after paying the fees and a $250 holding fee. We signed the official residential lease on October 9, and due to a holiday and weekend, had to send an overnight cashier's check of $3,523 for my move-in fees. I was told everything was good on my end from Progress and to immediately change my mailing address and to turn on electricity and other utilities, which I did. On our official move-in date, October 13th, we received a call later in the day by Progress stating that they had closed my account entirely due to an ID check failing, unbeknownst to us. We provided all new ID verification and were told that my account would be back up the next day, as well as the house would be back in our name. After days of constant communication and being told it would be fixed the next day, we were informed that visiting the physical office would be the only way to resolve the issue and that it would be guaranteed fixed. We drove cross country and arrived at the office on October 17. We did the in-person ID check and everything cleared. After being homeless for about 2 weeks and in constant communication about the house, we were suddenly told we could not get the property anymore and that we would get a refund in 30 days, despite having signed the lease, set up utilities, and had mail going to the home. Surviving in hotels and unable to do anything, we still fought for it, but ultimately settled for just the refund. As of now, December 5, 2022, we have still not received any refund of my money. They will also not return calls or emails regarding my situation.

On 11/12 i was granted an early termination of my lease for home *** due to it being inhabitable. This home was acquired by Progress and then after some months i learned that Havenbrook Homes and Progress merged together. I applied *** with Progress on 12/27/22 and was denied on 12/28/22. After calling various reps, I was advised my application was denied due to an outstanding balance of ***. I explained to onboarding and customer care that i do not owe anything and was told the balance looks to be written off and they have no way of confirming that i don't owe funds. So i was told to send an email to dispute and hopefully that will rectify the situation. I would like to note that i never received any notice saying i owed any monies and i never received my $2774.00 security deposit. Since not receiving the security deposit i assumed it was used clear any fees that *** have incurred. I'm praying that someone will be able to assist me and get to the bottom of this and approve my application or at least use my security deposit to credit this "outstanding" balance.
Issued multiple work orders through the designated channels The dishwasher is broken for 2 mths now Outlets are not working since move in Master bedroom floor is sinking and has been that way since move in.A *** came out and said the diswasher needed to be replaced, the floor would be contracted out and someone else would have to come for the outlets. A month and a half later still no communication until we called. We were told no work orders ha e been placed and they are sending out yet another technician to evaluate.
I was charged for utilities until the end of my lease. No where in my lease agreement does it say that I will have to pay for the final utilities that I haven't; even used yet. They are putting a late fee on my account if I do not pay for the utilities that I haven't used yet. I will not pay for the utilities until I have used them and the correct amount is on my account. I am wanting them to change the due date on my account so I do not have a late fee.
My family just moved from *** to *** within the past month. Our home is rented through Progress Residential. Upon arrival there were many severe issues found not noted in the pre inspection which was completed before our arrival. The primary and most concerning os the kitchen was flooded from a refrigerator water line that was not hooked up and had been leaking into the sub floors. There was mold in lower cabinets, walls and trim and sub floor in the home. Over eight calls and 12 hours on the phone and no call from a manager in over thirty days. I physically went to their office asking for help only to be told I'd be contacted and still have not been. They have done the least amount of effort to get the issue resolved only replacing a few boards in the cabinets and painting over mold. There is still mold in the cabinets and walls, trim. My entire family, husband age 30, daughters age 11 and 2, cat age 18 and myself age 34 have been sick since December 10 and getting sicker everyday with wheezing, coughing, closed throats and difficulty swallowing, water eyes, itchy skin, blood in mucus in lungs and nose, headaches and brain fog. I was so sick with severe chest pain I went to the emergency room. I have a doctors note I have Pnemonitis, mold exposure and suspected mold exposure and have been given many medications and orders to rest. The do tor also wrote a note saying I need to leave the Property since the issues are not being resolved. I am still unable to get any management on the line from progress residential. We are unable to find an attorney after 12 phone calls to attorneys for twnent laws and mold. Please help.
We moved into a new home in August with Progress Residential, facing continuous issues
We moved into a new home in August under Progress Residential and have had non-stop problems since day one. The first day we moved in, the air conditioning was not functioning at all. The house had not been cleaned. There was dried dog urine on the tile. It was absolutely filthy. They later confirmed our suspicion and said they did not have time to clean after the prior resident because of the quick move in date. We would have been happy to wait a few days for them to clean it if they would have given us the option. We have also had a rodent issue and found dead bats in the attic. This alone is a huge health risk to my family. We have contacted them about this issue but nothing has been done. Secondly, the air conditioning has not worked properly even after having them out at least 6 times in less than a year. Some days it gets up to 81 degrees. We have picture proof of this and provided them to Progress. The electric bill is ridiculously high because the unit runs non-stop trying to cool the house. We have two young children and my wife has cancer. They cannot be in such extreme heat like that. Lastly, we enrolled in the autopay system offered by Progress. We checked the first of the month and no payment had come out. We contacted them immediately and was told by Progress agents to not make any manual payments just in case there was a delay in the auto pay system. This resulted in them adding late fees which we were promised a refund on. This went on for three months. We finally cancelled the autopay but have not received the late fee money back as promised. They opened two cases for the refund. My wife and I have spent hours on the phone trying to get ahold of them (screenshots available). We have waited 2 hours at a time just to speak with someone that has no idea how to help us and half the time they hang up on you and do not call back. We have tried our best to resolve the issues but it has gone too far.

My son, his girlfriend and I rented a house from Progress Residential *** December 17
My son, his girlfriend and I rented a house from Progress Residential *** December 17,2021 paid the required fess a long with December prorated rent for the 15 days of $715.49 security deposit of $1720.00 plus smart home fee of $17.00 etc. We paid our monthly rent of $1720.00 smart home fee $17.00, and any utilities (Such as Gas, Water, Sewer, Storm and service fees) charged for the months on time every month. On October 1,2022 we gave our written notice to vacate the premises via email per agreement which was a 2.5 months' notice which we only needed to give a 60-day notice. On October 20,2022 we were charged for the remaining utilities Gas $173.86, Water $142.62, Sewer $185.71, Storm $29.63 and service fees $15.90 from statement June to December 19,2022 totaling $564.72 which was paid in full along with Novembers rent $1720.00. We also have paid for professional cleaning of the house $475.00 after moving out per our lease agreement which the house was not clean for our move in. We are now being charged our prorated rent for December for 19 days of $1054.19 which is correct to our belief and that has been paid on November 29,2022 along with the $17.00 smart home fee that was not prorated. Now we are being charged for the remaining 12 days of December $708.39 a month-to-month fee of $141.68 and now have been charged a $125.00 late fee for those charges that are not our responsibility, which these remaining balances was not ever discussed with us prior to this and is not in our lease agreement that we would be charged for, We have called and not received any call backs to resolve this matter. We DO NOT want this to reflect on our credit or rental history for we have not created this mess. We just want it resolved and not be charged for days we are not living in the residence and not damage our history. You can look on their web site and the house is listed for available December 30,2022.Thank You

I rent a home owned by Progress Residential with issues
I rent a home owned by Progress Residential. We pay $1999.00 monthly. Since the start, the home had major electrical, gas, water, landscaping, and pest issues. A gas leak was detected when we first used the heat. A service was called, and they marked parts of the heating system as unsafe, shutting off the gas due to the leak and improper installation. We had no heat from Oct 23rd, 2021 to Nov 3rd. During the initial 4-5 days, Progress Residential ignored my communication attempts. I sent emails and made calls without response. I contacted local authorities and city inspectors, who then got involved, threatening to condemn the property unless Progress Residential addressed the issues. Only after the city's warning did they communicate with me. Three employees promised rent proration for days without heat and credit for maintenance days, yet we've received no credits. I've sent emails, but they're ignored. Progress has failed to provide a safe, heated home, and I demand credit for the inconvenience as promised by their staff.

My move-out date from the rental property was June 7th, 2022
My move-out date from the rental property was June 7th, 2022. On several occasions prior to June 1st, I contacted the Collections and Services representatives because my account had, in addition to a 7-day rent cost, insurance exemption fee, and air filter fee, a 23-day rent cost for time that I would not be in the home and a month-to-month fee. All of the representatives I spoke with assured me that those charges would be dropped from the account after my move-out date prior to my final payment date on 06/01, prior to my move out-date of 06/07, and up to today 07/13. I was advised that a late fee would be incurred and subsequently removed from the account after accounting had processed my move-out as well, and that no late rent payments would be reported to credit bureaus since the charges were assessed erroneously. I followed-up multiple times from prior to 06/01 through the present and was advised of the same information each time by different agents. I attempted to log into my online portal recently to confirm that my account had been cleared, and was met with an "invalid account" error, which prompted me to call in. I was advised that I had "additional charges on the account that I was liable for." I asked for the ledger to be sent, which is partially copied below and attached to the email. The additional "charges" on the account amount to a net credit from the payments I made in April for the Final Sewer and Water and after those are applied to the account, the amount "owed" on the account is the 23-day rent cost and $90 of the late fee that I was told would be dropped from the account. I was transferred from the Collections to Services, where I was promptly disconnected. I'm seeking for my account to be cleared with Progress Residential and for my security deposit to be returned, as I have received not written notice regarding any deductions and I am yet to receive the deposit in full.

Myself, my boyfriend, and our roommate were tenants of a property from 03.2021-03.2022
Myself along with my boyfriend and our room mate, were tenants of a property from 03.2021-03.2022. On Jan 20, 2022, I submitted a 60-day move-out notice via the Progress Residential website as instructed. On Feb 2nd, I sent an email to Amber at the leasing office explaining the situation and was told it would be passed on to the move-out team. On Feb 25th, we received an email from corporate stating our move-out date and that we would not be responsible for extra fees. On March 30th, I received a check for a portion of our deposit refund. Our original deposit was a higher amount. I called account services and requested an itemized list of the deductions. After receiving the Move Out Statement via email and reviewing the document, I found errors, including 3 damage charges. On April 9th, I emailed the leasing office requesting proof for the damage charges. I received confirmation of the issue being addressed on April 11th. On April 14th, I sent another email with pictures and a description of the condition of the house when we left as proof on our end. On April 18th, I received an email from the leasing office stating the damage charges would be reversed. In addition, we received an E-document contract stating by signing the document we would receive the refund for the damage charge reversals, and agree that we are completely satisfied and would not be able to contest the account further. We decided this contract was not fair to us since Progress Residential never provided us with proof to substantiate the damage charges on our account and therefore was an error on their end. Aside from the wrongful damage charges, we had another monetary issue with Progress Residential. After the damage charges, there would still be a difference. I emailed about it and was told it was an insufficient notice fee. On the final statement, it shows the charge as reversed. PR refuses to give us our full refund.

Progress Residential, a foreign LLC, manages properties for various clients.
Progress Residential (PR), a foreign LLC, is the management company for a property rented by a client from 2/1 until 2/1/22. The home was vacated and keys were returned on 1/31/22. A final walk-through was done at 8 a.m. on 2/1/22. The client's representatives, each holding power of attorney, were present. Only a broken blind was noted, covered by a $300 nonrefundable pet deposit. On 1/31/22, the client requested the return of her deposit and provided a forwarding address. According to Arizona law, ARS 33-1321, the client was entitled to have her deposit returned within 14 business days. PR failed to meet this deadline. The move-out date was 2/1, and by law, the refund should have been issued by 2/22. On 2/23, a day late, the client's representative received a letter stating a refund would be sent the following day, along with an invoice with 15 disputed charges. A partial refund check was written on 2/24 and mailed on 2/25. PR offered to reverse the charges if the client signed a settlement releasing PR from further liabilities, which was refused due to unresolved disputes. Certified letters demanding the full deposit of $1840 plus double the amount as penalty were sent on 4/4 & 4/25, with no response. On 7/22, another certified letter was sent, and on 8/9, PR responded without addressing the issue. PR's practices have been criticized on social media, with groups sharing experiences of the company's alleged predatory and fraudulent tactics.

I moved into a progress residential home in September
I moved into a progress residential home in September . In order for me to move in I need to put down a security deposit of around $3800 +1st months rent. Upon the date that I was supposed to move in which was 12 September I was told that we could not move in on that date and I need to move in on the 13th. They need to send a whole new contract forward, in which they asked me if I had a preferred name, I told them I preferred to go by ***. At this point my family after traveling 12 hours had to sleep in our vehicle because we could not afford a hotel with all of the money that needed to be forwarded to progress residential on the next day. When the new contract came on 13 September it has a *** listed along with two other residents. I exhaustingly signed the contract under ***. I understand my mistake in signing a contract with the wrong name, which by the way, is the name that I go by in all of my occupational organizations. I do not have any legal documentation with my name on it of ***Progress residential claims to have done a background check, however the documentation that I sent in had my legal name on it, I E, ***. Fast forward to our move out, September 13, 2022, progress residential sent the check of $3800 and some change with *** and the two other residence listed. I am the only person that has been making payments on this account and the payments come from an account under ***. I cannot cash this check under *** and the company is refusing to take accountability or acknowledge their own mistakes in this process. I have asked them to re-issue a check with my legal name and they are refusing. Now they will hold onto $3800 of my cash For eternity unless I change my name legally to ***. This is unacceptable to me. I am Not understanding how they did a background check on the wrong person. They also input an extra false name, ***.

Good Day, I am a military service member along with my wife who just moved out of a Progress residential home.
Good Day, I am a military service member along with my wife who just moved out of a Progress residential home. On 22Dec21, I received a follow-up email about a notice to vacate the property on 30Jan21, requesting an email with my orders. I responded the same day by submitting a copy of my orders, and my wife sent hers as well. My wife has been in contact with our point of contact for the move-out, emailing her twice and calling four times, receiving no response. This is unsatisfactory! On 30Dec21, we received an email detailing our move-out responsibilities, which my wife followed. During the house inspection, it was claimed that there were no receipts for cleaning, despite my wife leaving a copy and emailing the documentation. We were told we shouldn't have paid for cleaning as Progress Residential would charge us regardless. My wife tried to call vendors recommended by the company, but they all canceled, so she found a third-party cleaning service. We were provided a document to reverse charges for bathroom hardware and garbage disposal, as well as a system glitch for storm water and trash charges. Additionally, light damage and early termination fees were removed due to our active duty status, as well as the claim of insufficient cleaning. Throughout this process, we have experienced poor customer service and misinformation.

My name is [Redacted] with a 4-year tenancy at Progress Residential
My name is [Redacted] and I have been a tenant of Progress Residential for over four years. I am currently residing at [Redacted Address], which is the basis for my claim against the property. My tenancy began in 2018, and during the pandemic, I needed a larger home, leading to a lease transfer within Progress Residential's available properties. The issue arose when I moved to [Redacted Address]. The move-in process was different due to pandemic protocols, and I was not informed that the new address was part of an HOA community, a fact that should have been disclosed. Unlike my previous residence, this one had HOA fees, which I only learned about after receiving a violation notice for trash disposal three months in. I reached out to the HOA directly to understand the community rules and stay compliant. Upon noticing additional fees on my rent, I contacted [Redacted Contact] at [Redacted Location], who informed me of several violations amounting to $225.00 and advised me to deduct this from my rent. She opened a case [Redacted Case Number] and acknowledged my reasons for fee removal. Despite my efforts, including multiple emails and conversations with representatives who were surprised by the oversight, the issue remains unresolved. New cases have been opened, but even with a person assigned, I have not been contacted. The lack of timely resolution has led to unnecessary late fees. I have only just received the handbook.

Yes, your agent MatthewWilliams and myself did discuss pricing of renters policies while searching he recommended the renters insurance policy
Yes, your agent MatthewWilliams and myself did discuss pricing of renters policies while searching he recommended the renters insurance policy in question as adequate coverage, nevertheless there were no exclusions discussed during the entire process and I chose the one he proposed as an efficient requirement of coverage by your company and at a good price. I am now requesting the phone records of this discussion to reiterate. Nor did the agent from Effective, Bankers nor any other agencies involved discuss this matter of exclusions nor offer the coverage to include. Although pet coverage was proposed and I accepted. I have yet to receive the signed policy in question that myself and my attorney requested with my signature agreeing or disagreeing to any exclusion months ago.Nor did Progressive forward the policy they hold for the structure of the unit. Being that I'm new to Florida and never have been required to obtain renters insurance to avoid the monthly no insurance fee that Progressive mandates, so It was assumed that rain, flood, storm and hurricane to be one of the requirements being that this is the basic coverage anyone would definitely need living in "Florida" on any policy. Also I am a renter and I don't own the property, so it's the responsibility of the owner to insure the structure of the property as I insured my personal property inside the unit. With the task of moving in progress and discussing this requirement during that process, I believed the agent to have the creditianals to recommend and submit an efficient policy for coverage that was required. So if the roof is already covered by the owner, that would be the only reason I suspect this specific coverage was not brought to my attention. So I conclude that two claims from two separate entities would not be allowed for the structure default of the same property. I did my part in protecting my belongings, only to lose everything and not be compensated to no avail. NEVER was I offered other living arrangements in any shape, form or fashion and indeed have a record of all communication between myself and all companies involved. There was total loss of use, and my pet was rushed to the emergency room. And actually had to request a refund of monies I allocated a mere week after the fact, as it was not even offered as well, then for Wendy to propose as if I was being done a favor of the amount of my monies returned to me due to it being 11 days into the month it was decided to withhold sum in the area of $400 for company troubles is utterly inhuman. I paid everything to move in and move out within a 30 day period including movers, rental trucks and storage of ruined items for appraisal purposes, that never even got acknowledged. I will never let this matter lie until I'm completely satisfied with adequate compensation from my loss, by Progessive and its 4000 properties, Effective coverage who claims to have no responsibility in the matter but was whom I initially was informed that i was obtaining any coverage from, what's the point of the company name being involved period if it holds no responsibility of the coverage, Bankers nor whomever else has any part of the complete policy I paid for, as I'm sure any officer of the courts would agree. It's also quite odd that the presented policy which wasn't disclosed till after the disaster has only the specifics of the day and disaster in question in BIG BOLD PRINT, with no signatures truly entels a whole other questionable doubt of the integrity of the companies, there's no way it could have been unnoticed nor misrepresented prior to the claim without being given the option to include or exclude. I've been basically homeless since that day and have incurred expenses that have left me with financial hardship during the COVID-19 epidemic. And yes I did submit another claim with the concerns of the true nature of the incident, being that the policy forwarded does cover sleet, which to my knowledge is another form of WATER that could cause damage to a defaulted rooftop once enough is piled up on it. So whether it be rain, sleet or snow, water is water. And no hurricane was declared that day, but a rain storm, in Florida, imagine that. And still have not gotten any response from Bankers.

A Company of liars. We recently moved into a home and have had a horrible experience. Our local agent has been either unwilling or unable to be of any help. All requests must be sent to corporate which takes at least 2 weeks to respond. This company demands that you provide receipts for a professional cleaning on move out, however, the home was filthy on move in. They will lie and tell you it has been professionally cleaned with pet urine stains and debris in the carpet. They will also leave old appliances in the yard on move in should they even decide to replace the broken ones. The excuse that we received for all of this was that the home was legally livable and we signed their move in inspection. These pictures were filtered and edited to make the issues appear nonexistent and we were threatened with loss of our $2k security deposit if we did not sign.
I live next door to a Progress Residential renter who is not abiding by the legally binding Reservation of Easements, Covenants, and Restrictions for our shared driveway. This renter is parking on the shared driveway which is a violation of the above legal Reservation and blocks ingress and egress to mine and my other neighbors property. If there was an emergency, responders would be inhibited. Ive tried to speak with Progress Residential several times about the gravity of this situation, but nothing has changed and this renter still continues to park on the shared driveway blocking ingress and egress to my driveway.
It took all of 2 weeks to be fed up with these folks. We paid the required deposit & moved in mid October 2022. *** November 1st - saw an extra $350 due. Needless to say I called and emailed a bunch of times about it. *** November 3rd - I finally spoke to someone who understood where the error was in the system (they failed to allocate the $250 holding fee and $100 application fee to our correct ledger) and they advised it would be fixed. They also emailed confirming they'd fix the $350 error to zero out our balance & that we wouldn't be responsible for any November late fee. *** November 4th - BOOM - $125 late fee but no big deal because they said we're not responsible. *** November 8th - noticed our ledger no longer had the $350 erroneous charge, but it still had the $125 late fee. I spoke to someone who said to give it until November 15th.*** November 16th to December 6th - I've opened 2 cases regarding the late fee - both of which they have closed stating I owe it because all balances have to be paid - completely disregarding the fact the balance that caused the late fee was due to their accounting error.All agents I've spoken to have been fairly pleasant with the exception of one guy who was rude, interrupting and over-talking me while I tried to explain the situation so he could understand the situation, and told me nobody would EVER tell me not to pay any fees - basically calling me a liar when I have the email to prove him wrong. SMH.But you can distinguish the agents that want to help from the ones that don't or are too overwhelmed to help. For example, one agent put me on hold to "look into it for me", but instead I heard her helping her kid doing homework, then she came back apologizing asking what my issue was again. SMH.I just hope someone reads these reviews and does something about the caliber of people they hire or the training they provide. Perhaps Big Brother needs to look over their employees shoulders a little more. DO BETTER PEOPLE!
If I could give a zero I would. First, our home was not clean when we moved in. There was building materials etc scattered throughout the home. The master shower had peeling caulk and mold and mildew. The master bathroom shower window was not properly working and when my husband opened it it came down on his finger and nearly cut it off. Maintenance came out and put a quick fix on it but would not replace the window, so be careful. Maintenance was constantly at our home for one thing or another because they do not actually make these homes move in ready so be prepared for days and days of wasted time. It took me 5 weeks of persistence to get them to fix the *** even after the vendor made their requests. Progress would not approve the fix until I persistently called. This resulted in very high electric bills for three months. At move out they didn't adhere to *** statute requiring written notification via certified mail of intent to charge damages against a security deposit. Nor did they refund my prepaid prorated utilities. An attorney should be filing a class action against them. Theres way too many people having similar issues.
