Took my security deposit to replace carpet they said I had damaged when in reality, it was damaged when I moved in, but of course they don't have any record of that. They raise the rent every year with no updates to their units and are well aware that they're overcharging because when I decided not to renew my lease, they texted me and asked if I'd stay if they kept the rent the same. I asked them to let me know in advance before they entered my unit. They'd mostly send out a text that day an hour before or even during the time frame they're to be there. One day someone entered my apartment for no reason, moved things around, and they stated that they had no record of maintenance being there. I bought cameras after that. My AC broke the two summers I lived there, and they told me to open my window to keep cool. They sent maintenance out for the same issue multiple times and they'd just briefly look at it and tell me it was fine. PREDATORY company that does mediocre touch ups on apartments before someone else moves in so they can illegally withhold your security deposit for things they should be paying for. Please know your rights as a tenant before renting with them, although not renting from them would be better. Be prepared to take Legal action against them. They're awful.

Awful experience. My parents applied for an apartment and the company required proof of four times…read morethe rent in salary. Since they are retired, they showed documentation of savings that would have easily covered rent for many years, not just a one year lease, but the management still refused their application. We then asked if my sister or I could co-sign and they would not allow it. This is not common practice for landlords and makes no sense. On top of that, they refused to refund the application fee even though they had told us before applying that supplemental proof of funds would be acceptable. The process was unprofessional, inconsistent, and handled in a rude manner. I do not recommend this company to anyone.

So if want to lose $40 dollars and no security deposit refund , Go right ahead they will love people like you and I will be reading your reviews.

There was no answer so I left him a VM, requesting a call me back...I never heard from him. After reaching out to him on his personal FB page this past weekend, which I would normally never do, he called right back on Sunday and offered to set up an appointment to meet at the business on Tuesday (tonight). I hurried to get off work early and rushed from Downs to the west side of Bloomington to meet him, but he was a no call/no show. My mom/business partner :) also drove from north Normal to meet us there. When I called he informed me that seller called him THIS MORNING and no longer wants to sell. While the news was a huge disappointment for me and my mom, Mr. Sheehan's lack of professionalism and care for our time was even more so. I will definitely be sticking with my Crowne Reality agent!

I am a new resident, and so far I have had a terrible time with Sami. For starters, I agreed to do…read moreearly move in. I moved in and the first thing I noticed in my apartment was that there was black mold on a wall in the living room, then I found more spots throughout the apartment. So ofcourse I call the office, to get immediate help for them to clean the mold off the walls. They told me that maintenance will be doing further inspections later in the week and that they will "try" to get someone out today. However, I can't just up and leave and go stay with a family member or a friend while I wait on Sami maintenance to take care of it. I tell them this, and they are like "well you have two options, either wait for maintenance to come out and clean it or return your keys and move back in, on the official move in date." Which would've been in June. I'm sorry but not everyone has the luxury to go and stay with a family member or a friend. It's extremely shitty to disregard a residents living situation and not take care of the problem immediately and not argue with the resident and be shitty towards them about it. So I kept telling them this; that I need someone here today to clean it, because I have asthma and chronic bronchitis, and I am going to get terribly sick because of the mold. To fast forward a little bit, they ended up sending maintenance out eventually, however the manager for maintenance, was telling me that if health inspection came into the apartment, they would say it's "livable". Which that's completely crazy, I had to call the health department for normal township and the health inspector said otherwise and plus they found water damage in one of the bedrooms. Also to note throughout the entire interactions I had with Sami employees in the office, they were rude, non sympathetic and just overall disgusting towards me. Secondly, I have two cats with me at this time, one of them: I am pet sitting for and the other is my service animal. Maintenance, told them that I have two cats, Sami office employees said "Hey, when maintenance was in the unit--they noticed their was a cat. The building is actually pet friendly, but you have to properly register it and pay for it before the animal is supposed to be in the apartment. Do you just have one cat or 2? We can send the pet form to your email. It is $300/pet." $300 per pet!!!??? What the hell is $300 covering and why that much for a cat? Like I have no problem filling out a form for my service pet, and the second cat is gonna be on its way back home next week but why charge residents $300 for a cat?? Like wth, plus when I was just in the office, I was telling Natalie that I didn't know pet sitting wasn't allowed and I just can't get rid of the cat, like I was paid to pet sit and the pet will not have a place to go. She just kept shrugging her shoulders and being disgusting towards me about it. Natalie has an unprofessional attitude in general, if you have been working your job for this long you should know how to have proper customer service skills and not act rudely. Customer service is about growing rapport, being respectful and have a good attitude and a good smile on your face! Overall there is just complete unprofessionalism happening in that office, and something needs to be done about it. How can you be okay with yourself and talk to people the way I have been spoken to!!!
