When I called to tell them I needed more time to find a suitable place to put my dog, they refused, acknowledging that the lease required them to provide at least 24 hours notice but saying that they were going to come in anyway. They did this on at least 2 more occasions. None of this maintenance was an emergency, so I am not sure why it was so difficult for them to send out the notices a little earlier. When I moved out, they again violated the law and the lease by failing to send my security deposit within 45 days. Other than these failings, the apartments are nice enough.

A couple of days ago, we went to see a house just outside of Charlottesville. The location was…read moregreat so we were very excited to tour it. The house itself, though was pretty dirty with a lot of spider webs around, broken drawers and shelves, and a whole on the floor in one of the bedrooms. Before we decide to move into a house, we lime to understand how things would be taken care of. We asked Linda, the real estate agent about it, but she knew nothing about it and was less than helpful. We asked her if the broken things would be fixed before we sign the lease, and she said, "I don't know". We saw there was a washer and dryer and asked Linda if they will be staying since the listing said washer and dryer hookups only, and she said "I don't know". We had other questions about the property in general and we were met with the same answers of "I don't know"! The whole time we tried to ask questions and learn more about the property, she kept turning around and leaving mid conversation! This is extremely unprofessional and rude to say the least! Linda kept saying over and over again that "this is a country living" and that she is not giving us, (and I quote) "a brand new house"! We have bought houses and we have rented house before and we understand how it is, but "Country living" Linda, is living in the country area, not living in a broken down house, and noone is asking you to build us a brand new house! We would be moving ours and our children's lives in this place and deserve to know what we will be getting into! I do not appreciate the sarcasm she had met all of our questions every time! We really like the area and the school district. We live in Charlottesville and wanted to look into living outside of town. This location was great, even though the house was way overpriced for the condition it was in, the location and its size, we thought about deep cleaning the whole house ourselves and even thinking about fixing everything that was broken. But we decided not to rent this property because Linda was extremely rude and unprofessional to say the least and we do not want to be associated with such people and the firm she works for!

I rented through Nest for two years. I found that they were responsive to service requests, but…read moregenerally speaking were a fan of "nickel-and-diming" on the security deposit. The property I rented was hastily constructed and serviceable, but on the whole...flimsy. Despite a thorough clean upon move-out, we were charged for items like "trash removal", "replacement of light bulbs", and for replacement of carpets that were, quite frankly, very-low quality to begin with, and something that would need to be replaced through "normal wear-and-tear" (there were no carpet pads under the carpet when installed, for instance). Normal wear and tear of low-quality items means you have to replace them faster than if they were of higher, more durable quality. We were also charged for things that were assessed as faulty prior to the beginning of the lease. Not to mention the fact that property was immediately rented out to new tenants, I consider the way that the security deposit was assessed to be overly punitive compared to other companies that I have rented with in the past. None of this is necessarily worth the fight with them over the nitty gritty (which I'm sure they recognize), but it's certainly enough to prevent me from renting a property managed by them in the future.
