Longtime Resident at Two Champion Communities(District at Tuttle & Duncan Park) -- Maintenance…read moreShines, but Corporate Management Fails Tenants!!! I've been a Champion Properties tenant for over six years -- first at Duncan Park and then The District at Tuttle. I stayed as long as I did mostly for my dogs, who were comfortable and settled. But looking back, I wish I hadn't given this company so many years of loyalty. The maintenance teams at both communities were consistently excellent. Quick, courteous, and thorough -- they're the reason I didn't leave sooner. They deserve five stars without question. But while the apartments themselves are decent and most neighbors respectful, Champion's management practices have been deeply disappointing -- both at the local level and, more troublingly, at the corporate level. I've experienced everything from ignored complaints about disrespectful neighbors to pressure tactics during lease renewal (like suddenly losing gym access when I asked for more time to decide). I've had to endure AC outages in peak summer without any portable unit or interim support, even with pets in the apartment. When I finally asked to break my lease due to a serious personal situation -- after six years of consistent rent payments and no history of lease breaks -- corporate flatly ignored my request. Not a single reply, despite my long-term loyalty. Yet when I discovered a false remark on my rental history via RentGrow, they responded within a few hours, trying to shift blame to "a system error." So, when it's about protecting themselves legally, they act fast. But when it's a tenant asking for a basic human courtesy after years of reliability? Silence. That speaks volumes. The same pattern showed up again when I requested a lease update to reflect my full legal name so I could renew my driver's license. They'd helped with this once before, but now I was told to "just use a power bill" -- not helpful, not cooperative, not professional. Bottom line: Champion invests in attractive properties and hires excellent maintenance crews -- but when it comes to how they treat tenants, especially those who've shown them years of consistency, they fail. If you value fairness, responsiveness, and human decency from management -- I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Champion Properties: champions in maintenance, but absolute amateurs in tenant care and accountability. Hard not to wonder if a tenant who looked different from me might've been treated with more urgency, empathy, or basic respect. Update - August 14 Moved out August 13. Corporate's reply? The timeless "Please reach out to us so we can discuss." Already been there, done that. This is just the corporate version of hitting snooze. I'll just keep this fresh here -- and on Google, where I had to trim my update because my original essay maxed out the space.

There were some fixes needed during our stay. The management and maintenance team responded to our requests in a very timely manner. For example, There were two ceiling fans that makes weird squeaking noises in the house. After we reported the issue they immediately contacted the property owner and brought two brand new fans for installation. No hassle, no extra charge, no back and forth arguments. We are very glad that we chose this company instead of renting from a private landlord. I think they are very professional and have a high quality of customer service.

The house was advertised to be noise-proof but I can hear the neighbor's conversations. Not to mention the sounds of their dog walking around the house. It's not the neighbor's fault-- they are just living their lives. But wow, I have lived under at least 5 different housing management teams before and it has never been this bad. Maintenance requests do not get done until couple months later, and even if they come over to fix the said problem, I can't tell that it was properly fixed. I honestly can not WAIT until I can move out of this house. EDIT: Bijan (the landlord) and I had a conversation. We came to the consensus that there was quite a bit of miscommunication on both sides of the party. Bijan definitely cares about the tenants' well-being. Once a distinct & straight-forward maintenance system is placed, I have no problems with this management company.

LEAK REPORTED. LEASE NOT RENEWED…read more Rented their property. Rainwater entered through our window. We sent videos and repeatedly asked for repairs. Steve Cochern, who manages the property, blamed the snow, then stopped responding for two months. Management knew we had a newborn and an older relative, as we properly disclosed and agreed to the additional water charge. After we kept pressing for action, our lease was not renewed. Only once it was clear we were leaving did management act to stop the immediate water entry. The visible rot, damage, and fallen blinds remained until move out day. The paperwork may have called it an "offer" or "non-renewal". From the tenant's side, the sequence was much simpler: We reported the damage. The problem was ignored. They would remove tenants instead of problems. To us, it felt retaliatory. Renters should decide whether reporting a serious problem here is worth risking their home.

Twice to a one bedroom when we applied to a two bedroom. After the second time they assigned us to a one bedroom, we went in to get this corrected as this was second time they made the same mistake. When we went in we were treated terrible about the whole situation and our leasing agent, Alexis, was combative and argued about the unit assigned being a two bedroom. She stated the unit that we toured was a one bedroom (it obviously wasn't as we were in the unit a week prior). Alexis, said she was just in the unit she assigned us and was certain it was a 2 bedroom. To clear things up, we suggested she go with us to look at the units and confirm. She refused and sent the other leasing agent there at the time to confirm (we were correct). As a prospective tenant/customer, I would never expect to be treated so poorly. She was rude, unprofessional and provided really terrible customer service all around. This should have been our sign to take our losses and find somewhere else. However, we were sold on the fact they were brand new, reasonably priced, and so close to our work. So we brushed this under the rug and moved on. While getting everything worked out, we mentioned several times through our communications that the unit we toured and eventually assigned was missing a vent fan cover in the spare bathroom. We were assured this would be handled and taken care of by the time we moved. That in fact never happened and I had to follow up multiple times after moving in to get it fixed. Once we moved in, we quickly discovered that the AC in our BRAND NEW apartment was not working. We put in the maintenance request right away and were contacted immediately stating they would get someone out right away. We made the request around 3:30 and no one showed up until after 9 o'clock. At one point our apartment was 85 degrees and no one seemed to care. Due to the heat, it resulted in us having to leave our doors and windows open, ultimately leading to mosquitoes and flys all over our apartment. When the maintenance man did finally made it, he made it clear he was not going to be able to fix it because he wasn't a HVAC technician and just left us with a portable AC. Before leaving he stated someone would be out the next day to get it fixed. The next day, we heard nothing the whole day and had to reach to out to see when they were coming. We were notified at that time that no one could come out because it was Labor Day. That was understandable and what we assumed. However, that was never communicated to us. We were then told it would Tuesday then. It took them until that Thursday to get it fixed. We were without AC for over four days. A week later after getting it fixed, we are back in the same position. The AC is again not working. We put in the request for the issue right away again. We were contacted and told that it will be Monday until someone would be out. Per the maintenance person, only the company who installed the AC can do the work because it would void the warranty to the whole building. He also stated they were closed the next day (which is a Friday) and it wouldn't be until Monday at the earliest. Frustrated and with the questionable timeline of repairs and explanation, I contacted the office to discuss the matter with our property manager, Sara. I tried to call the office several times and never got an answer. It took my partner calling to the main Ardent number and getting transferred to the leasing office to get someone on the phone. This seems to be the normal for them. We have a left voicemail that did get returned, it takes quite a bit of time for them to return text (often you have to follow up again to get a response). It would appear Sara is never there because every time we had an issue and asked to talk with Sara, it's aways she's out for the rest of the day or she out of the office. We've been into the office like 6 times since July dealing with everything and she has been there once. I have asked for calls back several times and she never returns them. It's definitely felt that they aren't too concerned and there is no sense of urgency. The only time that there's a sense of urgency is when money is due. A little bit of understanding and an adequate apology would go a long way. It has been a part time job dealing with everything. I feel like some kind of compensation should be given due to all the problems. I caution anyone considering this community or any of Ardent's Communities.

I hope he doesn't have to do this for another client, but I have to share this: When we found one really attractive house online and likely needed to rush to see it and put in an offer, he hobbled out to the showing on what turned out to be a broken ankle instead of moving the showing to a later date.
