Stay far away!

I wish this company could improve their management. In the past, I moved into an apartment, and before my lease was up, some properties switched to Greystar. It’s been my experience that things tend to go downhill when they take over. They often bring in their own staff who, in my experience, have not been as attentive because a lease is a contract! Not much you can do to break it without penalties.I’ve learned from firsthand experience that if it’s Greystar, I avoid renting there. Regardless of how great the exterior and interior may appear, it’s not worth it to me.

I have written a review of Avidor…

I have written a review of Avidor Graystar in Omaha. I want to add one more comment. Avidor offers special rates and incentives to get people to rent. People need to ask..just how much will their rent go up at the end of the first year. That's when they make up those incentives.....nothing is given to you by Avidor Graystar. NOTHING

Greystar will haunt you even years later

The apartment we lived in was very comfortable with beautiful surroundings. I really did enjoy living there. However, I will never rent from a Greystar owned apartment again. Two years after moving out they sent us a bill for $85. They have not replied to any of our attempts to contact them via email or phone regarding what this statement balance is for. It is the exact amount we received back as a security deposit refund over two years ago so something seems off. Even if it is just a clerical error and we do infact owe $85 that's fine. The part that has really ruined Greystar for me is their utter lack of customer service. The least they could do is call us back and explain the charges. If someone from Greystar is reading this please sit Kyle Hale down for job counseling. He never responded to any of our attempts to contact him regarding our case.

Run away from the greystar communities (park at canyon ridge)

I just got done dealing with a company called park at canyon ridge their manager Leslie illegally removed my renter's insurance and then tried to charge me for it and they locked me out of my portal for the all online accesses and I cannot access my lease and she claims that she is allowed to make any changes she wants to my account without my knowledge. And she claims that they don't have to do any work orders until I move I asked them if I could speak to their higher-ups or the people that run the greystar community she said you could call whoever you want they'll just rerout you back to me so I said okay I will see you in court and she said good luck I'll see you there so now I'm going to have to go to court with park at canyon ridge because they like to do illegal things anyone that is looking for an apartment please stay clear at Park at canyon ridge in Aurora. I also took a video of the whole altercation

RENTERS BEWARE!!!!!

RENTERS BEWARE!!!!!RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN! The Arbolada apartments a Greystar community~The management and staff are liars! Take a realtor with you who knows the business. They have NO customer service skills at all and they are very disrespectful.If the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you get a creepy feeling something is not right 10 out of 10 time you are right TRUST YOUR GUT FEELING and RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM THE Arbolada apartments and DO NOT LOOK BACK! If the lie about their leasing contract what else are the lying about? DO NOT take the chance to find out after you have signed a lease and are stuck in a shady contract. Take your money elsewhere San Antonio has other great communities that are truthful and hold true to their customer service commitments. RENTERS BEWARE!!!! DO NOT RENT FROM THE Arbolado apartments a Greystar community!

Care taking is not good…

Love our apartment and maintenance staff is very good. However the building and grounds are not kept clean. Our last building (not Greystar) he staff walked the building and gounds almost daily. Here months go by with the same trash and no one seems to notice. I admit we have a very young and un caring tenet population but that is no reason for management to ignore.

Signed "EXAMPLE" Lease, moved in, & STILL No Online Lease Signing

I've had my apartment for a week and half (signed lease/received keys), moved in this past Monday, and I still have NOT signed my online lease. The airhead people in the apartment office keep saying "try now" or "IT people are working on it"- nothing has been resolved I signed some paper lease with giant stamps on each page of something along the lines of "EXAMPLE"- I would assume my this isn't even a valid lease. Aside from not being able to sign on lease properly, the property where I live is ok. Apartments themselves are well sized but the stairwells are disgusting. Toilet paper strew everywhere, egg shells, dog poop around the property, very rude maintenance guy, and office staff that don't know how to communicate. (I had to contact them asking for an update about the lease a week-7 days- after I signed the printed EXAMPLE pages.) I wouldn't recommend renting anything from this company.

Greystar scams out college students

Greystar scams out college students! They respond to leasing inquiries within hours, but NEVER get back to you when you ask for a refund!Firstly, their leasing strategy is bit sketchy! They require you to pay one month rent even BEFORE sending you ANY AGREEMENT OR LEASE TERMS!Also, they deliberately made the payment process very smooth (credit card, etc.) but the refund extremely cumbersome (checks). They had never told me so before I paid! If that was the case, I wouldn't have paid so quickly.As a college student with little experience, I unsuspectedly paid the $2,005, because they promised full refund if I was not happy with the lease term. However, I have NEVER heard back from them after I asked for refund.Property: The M Seattle, WAPayment #156 619 8436Payment made on Jun 24Please REFUND in FULL ASAP via my ORIGINAL METHOD OF PAYMENT!

Issues I dealt with as a tenant at Avana at Happy Valley

Issues I dealt with as a tenant at Avana at Happy Valley (owned by Greystar)1. No helpful response to cockroaches which required I personally deal with them using Diatomaceous Earth2. Multiple fires including one used to conceal a homicide3. Lack of timely trash pickup even though there's a Valet trash fee4. Multiple squatters and people using/distributing meth and opiates on site, absolutely no response or safety regards from the company 5. And finally multiple fees upon move out even though the unit was spotless and I had fulfilled the 13 month lease. Never rent from these people if you pride safety, price or housing quality. I only rented there desperate for shelter.

Money hungry, bad management

Greystar have shown themselves to be a money hungry machine who tramples of its residents and I would highly recommend you do not reside in any of their properties. We have been here one year and we are now being forced into either signing for another year with 6 month break clause or having to pay £458 more in rent per month for the ‘privilege’ of having a rolling by month contract. I do not treat my own tenants this way and I’ve never heard of this before. We earned the right to roll by month by committing to a year. It’s very hard to find a rental at the moment so they are trapping us between two awful decisions. Our rent for a 2 bed flat in Croydon will now be £2,609 (they are advertising other 2 beds in the building for (£2,200) as we desperately want to move out and so we have to take this risk and absolutely must find another place to live ASAP. We have a baby about to go to nursery and CT is going up. This increase will leave us with to barely any money but we cannot commit to another 6 months as we really want a garden for our baby. We appealed to management and they would not negotiate, it was humiliating to be invited to a meeting and not heard. This situation has really caused me a lot of sadness and keeps me up at night. Do not fall into this company’s trap.

The company is a rip-off machine and it…

The company is a rip-off machine and it is too bad I can't give them less than one star. Besides forcing tenants to sign an agreement to pay two months rent in case of breaking a contract, they also charge an "Insufficient Notice Fee" if you inform them about that in less than 60 days. I lived in the apartment owned by Greystar for five months and after I lost my contract and had to move out I was charged almost three months' worth of rent. A semi-decent hotel room would cost me the same amount or less. In addition to the cost of rent, the company is also charging for everything else including the Pest Control which didn't help in my former FL apartment roaches owned the place throughout my whole entire stay. The most brazen charge was for a "valet trash" service, that no one was using anyway. The justification for that service from the rental place was "too much wildlife around the apartment complex." Like those people who suppose to collect your trash from your doorsteps wouldn't put it into the same trash container where tenants are dumping it anyway, stay away from this company and save your sanity and the frustration of dealing with the endless charges after moving out.

This company is the biggest scam ever

This company is the biggest scam ever! I applied for an apartment and there is no one helping me get my deposit money back. I wasn’t able to get approved for the apartment the company allegedly sent a refund via email. Never received they said it was used this entire process has just been horrible.

Worst Management Company

Any apartment building managed by them is falling apart. There is no customer orientation just profit making. You are not a human for them just a number. Most properties managed by them are totally outdated and broken down.

Theives, Liars, Criminals

This company tried to raise my rent in the early days of the pandemic. When I moved out with ample notice, I gave them a pristine apartment. They fabricated charges and refused to return my security deposit. Three years later, they have hired a collection firm to collect like 4 days of rent with three years of interest. The first notice I got was a ding to my credit report and score. These people are thieves, they are liars, and, raising rent during a pademic also makes them criminals. STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING THEY OWN IN ANY CITY!!! SPREAD THE WORD!!!! THIEVES... LIARS.... CRIMINALS.

Dealing with a corporate employee who is so disrespectful. She should not be allowed to discuss any matters with residents until she receives the proper coaching from a customer service stand point. So disappointed in Greystar. Would love an email back to discuss someone at a higher level in greystar to discuss.

Lived here a year, then Greystar

Lived at the same property for a year before Greystar took over. Employees are friendly, sure. They send smiley emoticons while telling you you're evicted. Fee's keep going up, service keeps going down, and they'll promptly reply to an email with a pseudo apologetic tone that "that's just how we do things"
