    Don't go near these clowns. After forgetting about my unit and telling me it "slipped through the…read morecracks", let it sit vacant for six months without telling me. A small student housing unit was occupied by students who left it in terrible condition yet they returned security deposit's without even checking it. To put icing on the cake, Jamie, the manager sent pejorative emails because I was unhappy. Threatened to sue me for the utilities that they inadvertently left on. They put the A in amateur.

    This company is a sorry excuse for property management. Avoid at all costs. Run. It isnt worth the…read moreheadache or long term costs for a renter and for anyone thinking of having them manage your property... they will cheap out every time there is a serious repair needed and not repair damage until the last minute. Oh and they apparently don't document the state of properties with photos or itemized receipts. They do a abysmal job of maintaining properties and try to keep every penny of the deposit plus charge you if they can. Even for things they should have fixed prior to your move in. Donna is condescending and rude to renters. She doesn't give you all the information and will lie to your face. They gave us an "as-is" lease but kept not what the standards were and would never give us a straight answer. Not sure how the previous occupant didn't have to pay for the damage to the yard or carpet before we moved in.

    DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE. The worst real estate company I have ever been in contact with…read more First of all when my mother moved into her house from this company, it had bugs (roaches which we had to get rid of). The tile on the floor was cracked. The place needed painting (which we had to do). The dishwasher was broken and for the entire year my mother lived there, maintenance never fixed it even after numerous request. The refrigerator malfunctioned. And instead of replacing it with a new one, they kept trying to repair the old one with no success. The air conditioning unit broke and it took them almost 2 weeks to come out to fix it. And finally last but not least. My mother's lease was signed on January 5, 2017 ( a one year lease). She was told they were not renewing her lease and she had to vacate the premises by December 31, 2017. Not on January 5, 2018 like her lease stated. Then they told her for everyday she was not out of the house after December 31st, she was going to be charged $37.50 per day, something that they told her and did not put down on paper. THESE ARE A BUNCH OF LYING CROOKS WHO TRY TO GET OVER ON THE EDLERLY AND ANYONE ELSE THEY THINK THAT IS VURNERABLE. I beg anyone who is thinking about renting from these individuals, please rethink your options and rent from someone else. On a grading scale they get an F-!!!

We painted over holes, had the carpets cleaned, replaced air filters, swept/cleaned the porches, scrubbed baseboards, windows, etc. This place was spotless when we vacated the premise. When we finally got our deposit, with almost all of it deducted. We were told we could dispute the charges. We did exactly as we were instructed, writing a letter and getting it to them within 15 days. We reached out 2 weeks later asking if there was a time frame in which we should expect a response, or just a rundown of their process. No response. We have sent, in total, FIVE emails simply asking for an update, with Malloree Boynton and Patrick Darden both included, and have received absolutely nothing back. It has now been 4 weeks since we turned in the letter and 12 weeks since the end of our lease. This has gotten to the point where we have now gotten legal help in order to move forward and end this three month long battle. They have been the biggest pain to work with. I am constantly shocked at their lack of customer service skills and blatant attitudes towards customers. All we want is an update. They take advantage of young students who do not know their legal rights. They skirt around laws to where "technically" what they are doing is legal, but not completely. They have no integrity as a company. They are dishonest. They don't care about their tenants in the least. The number of bad reviews is shocking and to be honest, I'm surprised they are still in business. Home owners really need to take a deeper look into how their properties are being maintained (or NOT being maintained) and how many properties are still vacant because people just really don't want to work with Darden.

    If you want to live in an overpriced and poorly run property, move in to the Oasis at 1800…read more Management doesn't care anymore because she's is in bed with the maintenance foreman. Work orders don't get done because she clears them. The pool is closed because they can't be bothered with upkeep. Overall, the property looks bad, the apartments for new move ins look bad, and the overall maintenance staff is very very subpar.

    If i could put 0 stars... I would. I just moved into the Oasis at 1800 August 30th, and it has…read morenothing but problems since. I have put in countless maintenance requests, and the maintenance team has only fixed a couple, been a no-show for most, and given me the run-around for the major requests. The apartment was NOT move in ready at all. The floors were filled with black dirt (that i had to mop 7x to get clean.) The air filter was not even changed, and the AC compartment was filled with black scum and dust. The kitchen sink was leaking, the front door lock was broken, the washer machine turns off mid-cycle, the bathroom shower drain was clogged, and even down to the toilet paper holder not being attached to the wall. I could not even buy groceries for the first couple weeks due to the fridge seal not being in tact and the door not closing- letting the cold air out. That request took 2.5 weeks, several office visits, and a call to the manager, and it still has not properly been replaced (just temporarily put together). The most recent problem has been a flood in the bathroom on Sept 17th. During a rainstorm the bathroom vent was POURING out water. We made a call to the emergency maintenance which was ignored. With persistent calls, they finally answered and completely blew off the leak/bathroom flood. Since then, the vent has almost caught on fire. I left it on during a shower, and it smoked up the bathroom and smelled like burning plastic. Overall, I have been severely disappointed with this place. I have only been here for 3 weeks, and it has been more problematic than anything. Hardly anything has been addressed, and this place was guaranteed to be MOVE IN READY. Maintenance only gives excuses, and the office girls, while very polite, do not escalate issues properly. Management is never in the office either. If you are willing to have to drop your job/school/daily life to fix your apartments problems or fight to have ANYTHING done, then this is the place for you! Otherwise do not move here :) I am not normally a Karen at all, so leaving this review is proof that living here for these 3 weeks has been a struggle.

    Lauer Real Estate Group - A petty response from the business itself "has plenty of them"

    The staff at Lauer Real Estate got me locked out of my apartment twice--the first day of my lease,…read morewhen I called a locksmith they never reimbursed me for (I had to take it out of last month's rent), then when the keypad for the building died (stranding my cat without food for multiple days). Today, when I tried to track down my missing deposit (classic for them to never pay tenants back and delete maintenence requests without service), they responded by calling me a curse word. Not hyperbole: these people run a bizarrely rude, health hazardous, and potentially fraudulent business at the expense of their tenants. If you don't want constant disputes with your landlord about failing to meet their legal obligations, sprinkled with invective as seen below, I encourage you never to rent one of their properties.

    I rented from Lauer for 3 years, so this review is of their property management, not their real…read moreestate business. The bad: 1. Lease renewals. Every November I would get an email telling me I had 2 weeks to renew my lease or they would start showing the property to prospective tenants. My lease started in August, so I was surprised that renewal was required 3 months in. And this is not an empty threat: one year I did not renew in November and sure enough they started walking people through my place. 2. Maintenance. Almost all maintenance no matter how specialized is handled by general contractors. For instance, a raccoon family moved into the attic. A contractor came by and boarded up the hole they got in through, trapping them inside. When I pointed this out, he came back and chased the mother out and boarded up the hole again. Now the mother was trapped outside and her babies were trapped inside. This whole scenario played out again the next year. The good: 1. Hailee is great. She responded to emails and maintenance requests quickly and was always professional. 2. They use an app for maintenance requests and rent payments, which makes life easier. Lease renewals are handled via docusign, so no need to go to their office. 3. My rent was very reasonable even as most other property managers were jacking up rents post-pandemic. 4. Lauer left me alone. There were no regular inspections or anything like that. Also there were never any hidden fees. In sum: Would I rent from Lauer again? Yes. Would I be excited about it? No.
