Reviews of Colony American Homes
"Say Goodbye to your ENTIRE security deposit... AND was charged to repaint the walls after 1 yr of rent! Two professionals, renting a 3000sq ft home, didn't so much as touch the walls, spent DAYS cleaning this place spotlessly before we moved, touched up any possible scratches with the ORIGINAL inside paint. Not only did they say they "needed to rent a cleaner" but they charged us $1100 to "repaint the inside of house!!" They tried to raise our rent from $1950 to over $2500 after the first year because they knew most people are not likely to want to move... This is baiting with a lower rent rate and then "Switching' the rent $$ on you. They even started to charge for repairs for malfunctions of their own appliances! I can't give a worse rating...and I have rented from over a dozen places in my military career. I know what is fair and what is a flat out ripoff. Worst...place...ever."
"They merged with Waypoint Homes recently and no matter if they are Colony American or Waypoint.. do yourself a favor and read reviews of both companies before you decide to rent from them. You may think (like I made the mistake of thinking) it doesn't really matter who the leasing company is. I thought so, as I'm pretty low maintenance and I wouldn't need much from them anyway, I've never had to deal with any of my other rental companies. I was wrong, in 7 months we've had major issues with the pool (leaking- fixed according to them, but really still leaking), water heater breaking (they wanted to fix it, repair guy said you need to replace), and the AC going down (after 6 hours of no help in over 90 degree weather, we called a service center and they helped us get it running again). The quality of the housing is shoddy, our house for example had a partially glued in plastic window, that when we asked them to come and fix, they refused to because it was a glued in plastic window when we moved in, so if the glue comes off, not their fault apparently. Also if you are going to rent from them, make sure that any pest control, cleaning, changes, or maintenance is done before you move in, it will not get done after you are in, even if it's on the walkthrough, if it is dirty when you move in, you also accept that as is apparently. Don't expect pest control, which also means that it is hit or miss if the people before you had pest control, think about that. Make sure to ask and look before you sign anything, there are extra fees for your property and they make no mention of these when you are looking at and talking about the home, but you will find them added to your lease when you go to do your paperwork. Be careful if you have a pool, there is an extra fee (never mentioned before the lease paperwork was drawn up), for pool maintenance. However, if there are any repairs done, don't expect them to clean up after themselves. As much as I liked the location and the house, after 7 months I can say it wasn't worth it, I'm now just glad it's only a 12 mo lease. Overall, do your own research, trust your instincts, and don't kid yourself that a crappy rental company won't matter much- in this case it really does."
"I am in the Real Estate Industry. I managed rental properties, this company is arrogant and untrustworthy. They will raise rent every year above market price and regardless of the tenant payment history. They WILL NOT return your security deposit. My deposit was $1900. We left the home in good to excellent condition. Professionally Cleaned the carpets (truck mounted), repaired and touch up painted small holes where pictures were hung on walls, pressure washed the driveway, repaired a sprinkler head, cleaned appliances, dusted blinds. Walls were cleaned, floors and carpets in good shape. All appliances cleaned and functional. Final walk through inspection the representative of this company stated "we were good to go noted NO repairs!! or concerns!! ONE WEEK LATER - I get a bill for $2092.50. Here are some items: $1327 refresh paint,( remember walls were not damaged or dirty, this is fair wear and tear- not the tenants responsibility if owner wants to repaint) $200 Carpet cleaning, $100 replace light bulbs (all were working when we departed) $150 to buy new blinds ( old blinds were still there in perfect working condition). I refuted the claim and they simply said too bad. This company will make repairs up to keep the security deposit and make you go it through legal actions in which 90% or renters will not take on that additional expense. I am pursuing legal action,currently. I wish i could give negative stars or green tomatoes because they do not deserve a single star!"
"WORSE company EVER! Charges fees/penalties when it's their fault when online payment portal does not work. The staff tells you to pay it then dispute the charges otherwise eviction process will begin. When you dispute the charges (as told to do), they NEVER call or respond emails. Love my home but can't wait to get out of from lease due to the lack of competency of their employees! My experience has been with the Tampa office They have now merged with another company and effective today, they are Waypoint Homes. Wonder why the merge occurred... perhaps they needed a new name to hide the crappy customer service!"
"Colony American Homes - Worst rental experience I ever had. Bait and switch tactics on the lease. House was in Orlando airport flight lane. (Keisha King worst rental agent) Called office 10+ times no response. Maintenance issue - no water 3 days - No AC in FL Summer 95+ temps 2 + days - No maintenance follow up. Ignored out clause request. Tried to work with office want another $2000 in fees to early terminate plus rent owed. Stay away from this company - Michaela Gave (Local Orlando Property Manager) and Andrea Morales (Renewal Coordinator) are the 2 worst rental employees I have ever dealt with. Worst communicators. Michaela said to me today - "I know you had a bad experience on the initial lease, maintenance issues, airport problem, slow follow up and we didn't tell you about the early termination fees but I'm not seeing your problem." (Most clueless conversation I have ever heard - also had to educate me on the fact that people communicate via electronic mail these days. (Sorry I am an old guy Michaela - from now on I will record all conversations with companies like yours and send directly to my lawyer for storage.) Stay away worst company ever - Worst experience ever - No Stars .............................Site made me give 1."
