Aram and Jaime were both grossly unprofessional and rude when I called to complain about our furnace not working (it's currently 30° outside and 36° inside our home) and to complain about them raising our rent RETROACTIVELY (for two months) and Aram told me they will proceed with eviction proceedings, claiming we were late on paying rent. We've lived here for over a year and have NEVER been late paying rent and the past few months have been no exception to this. I contacted the OWNER of the property and he assured me that we will NOT be evicted and he agreed that Aram and Jaime were very unprofessional. If you want threats of eviction for making a complaint, these might be the folks for you. If not, you might want to look elsewhere. We are absolutely going to be filing suit against this slumlord management company. Their ONE STAR rating on Yelp speaks for itself.

Fact: There was a small black spot in our closet when we moved in that had become increasingly larger over time. Result: It was a slow leak from the bathroom. Maintenance opened the ceiling to reveal black mold. He "cut it off" and sprayed bleach on it. Peep the photo on yelp. Fact: Our upstairs toilet is (and has been) faulty. Result: Maintenance used a bread twisty tie to make a repair for one of the many service orders. We had to flush it 3-4 times each time we used it and It was eventually replaced 6 months later. Fact: We had bees (in addition to all the other bugs) and Panzera's maintenance used home defense spray. I questioned their methods, but they insisted the spray would work. Result: After our family friend (a PROFESSIONAL maintenance tech) took a look at the dozens of bees that were dying, he confirmed it was a live bee hive. I wrote "I still have bees" on next months rent check and they reluctantly sent a professional. Fact: Our furnace was unusually loud and rattled a lot. Heat wasn't thorough. We had to turn it WAY up to get moderate warmth. Result: It needed to be replaced, it was 30 years old. It took 12 hours for the repair and we weren't offered that timeframe upfront. I have a small child and had to unexpectedly remove her from the home due to the below freezing temperatures that day. AND...the HVAC rep stayed it died out because we had the heat too high. Fact: We had mushrooms, growing out of the carpet in April of 2016. Yes, mushrooms. Result: Maintenance "plucked them" and sprayed bleach on the spot. Maintenance touched the drywall around them and it was mushy. He confirmed there was a leak/moisture and adjusted the dirt outside in hopes that the water wouldn't come in so much! (Yes, smh...) Note: MUSHROOMS HAVE GROWN BACK IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT FEBRUARY 2017. Understandably, I was frustrated and contacted Panzera. They nonchalantly created work orders! I advised David Panzera about how unreal my experience has been and expressed a perceived lack of ownership because of reoccurring issues, poor maintenance decisions and no empathy, compassion or compensation. I don't think they care, at all. His reply was everything I expected. He said if I disagree, move out...with notice of course.

Most of us know how dizzying and mind-boggling searching for a new rental can be…read more First you have to determine in what area you want to live. This decision is based on an array of factors including consequential information and mundane details. Next you have to envision your future home. Is it a studio apartment with great hardwood floors or a two-bedroom condo with an excellent view of the park? Is the rent in your price range? Does the landlord allow pets? Are the neighbors friendly? What is parking like? Where do tenants dispose of their trash? It's a lot to think about. I know; I just went through this experience myself. Fortunately, the Internet makes this information a little easier to gather. You can answer many of your own questions with a few simple left-clicks of your mouse button. Heck, you can even house-hunt in your pajamas if you like. But even Internet searches can be time consuming...unless, like me, you happen upon Metro-Rentals.com. Metro-Rentals.com is an ingenious website that acts as the perfect tool for apartment owners and managers to help lease their available units. Having a web-based site allows Metro-Rentals to keep content fresh, relevant, and accurate. Metro-Rentals.com provides all of the photos, descriptions and maps you need to help you make an informed decision about a potential new home. Available units are advertised in a clean, easy-to-read, information-rich format. Metro-Rentals.com is also neighborhood-centric meaning it stresses the importance of finding a home based on where you want to live, not because of price point or number of bedrooms. Clicking over to sister site Think-Urban.com was dizzying - in a good way. This site differentiates one Columbus neighborhood from another. As a newbie to the Columbus scene, I found it easy to tune in to what sets the Arena District apart from the Short North or Campus Gateway or Clintonville. I can easily see how residents of each area use the site as resource tool for urban living. The information listed ranges from where to put your rubbish, park your car, and curb Fido, to where to find the cheapest gas. Furthermore, special topics like urban parking, urban transportation, urban restaurant reviews, and Columbus outdoor venues and festivals make the site visitor-friendly. One more positive: each site has a look that both distinguishes it as its own entity and shows the connection to sites within its family (also check out Suburban-Rentals.com). One negative: the editorial could be rotated more often to maintain user interest. The kicker? Metro-Rentals stays in business by making landlords pay to put their information on the site. This keeps the content unbiased and means no ads and no subscription fee for you. Life is good.

Looking for an apartment for an incoming OSU student. We traveled to Columbus twice…read more Tour #1: Did not realize there would be parking issues, so ended up paying to park in an OSU lot and walking. First unit was empty. Flushed the toilet to see if the plumbing was working, and it continued to run during the remainder of the visit. My child was uncomfortable with the entry being on an alley, and the $1000+ monthly rental was a turn-off for me, so we passed on the unit. The second unit was an efficiency, and the resident was in the unit, so we did not feel comfortable looking too closely. Tour #2: We'd requested tours of four units. They offered a "video tour" of the units, but instead of a tour, they sent us still photographs. I know that photos don't give the full feel of a unit, so I said we would tour before renting. When we arrived, we found out we'd only been signed up to tour two units, and they weren't the ones in which we were interested. The first unit was in a building that looked ill-maintained. The metal stairs to the unit were rusting and the roof looked like it needed replaced. The unit itself was so crammed with the tenant's stuff that we couldn't get a good look at it. The second unit was empty, but there was clear evidence of an ongoing water damage problem, the thermostat was visibly broken, the door to the utility room was broken, and there was a noticeable odor of a gas leak. The mailboxes were rusting, and the locks on the mailboxes were clearly broken. While I did not ask if these units were Section 8 housing, I did ask if the renters were exclusively students ("We rent to anyone") and what the security was like ("We *are* in a major city").

My daughter started having maggots and flies coming out of her bedroom baseboards this summer, multiple patchwork later, putting blame on the resident for keeping doors closed (meanwhile there are no doors nearby or ever kept open), saying over and over "there are no dead animals in the walls" and here we are 6 mos later cutting out dry wall to find dead animals! She has been displaced from her bed at least 4 weeks over the last 6 mos due to chemicals and them asking her not to sleep in there- but somehow there is no compensation since they "responded quickly" We have also caught Hometeam in multiple lies - the date they said a work order was submitted when there were ring camera proof of the workers there days before It's all sad, disappointing and disgusting Do Better!

In the most recent example, I was forced to schedule and be home for a city water meter update on the building because my unit is closest to the meter, even though the work being done applied to the entire building. Myers says it's my responsibility as the homeowner even though I do not own the area where the update occurred. It's the property's. They are the property management. If they are not actually managing the property, what are we paying them for? This review says "service requested" but they will not respond as they say that it's not their fault the city needs to update. Since I said they were obtuse in thinking my problem is with the city water, they said I am name-calling and they will not reply further. If you feel like being ignored, purposely being misunderstood, doing the work of the property manager for free, and throwing away your money, by all means go with Myers.
