Florida Realty Investments 3451 Technological Avenue, Orlando, FL 32817

"I have been dealing with Florida Realty Investments for quite a while now, and my gripe with them is, they like to nickel-and-dime their tenants. I’ve been observing how they have gradually been charging petty fees for no apparent reason. First of all, they charge a $10.00 convenience fee when you are making a monthly payment on your rent using your checking account, regardless, if you are making a one time payment or an automatic monthly payment. I also noticed a $2.49 fee, which they labeled as a transaction fee. But just recently, I had an appointment with their partner company, All Stars Heating and Cooling of Central Florida, and they charged me a $75 fee for missing the appointment. I’ve been having issues with my AC ever since I moved into this unit, and never have they been able to permanently resolve this issue. Now, I missed an appointment, because I overslept, and they want to slap me with a $75 fee, stating that All Stars is the one, who charges the fee, and there is nothing they can do, although this only happened to me once. This is all nonsense, because companies work with each other, so this is just a facade. They are purposely charging people bogus fees. I've been dealing with this AC issue for a while now. Literally, every single time All-Stars goes out to my unit to repair the AC, it's always been for the same reasons. It's purposely being done in my opinion, so All-Stars and Florida Realty Investments can continue sucking the life out of the owner’s pockets."

"Eventually they will show their colors. They milk you for every penny they can. They raised our rent $400/month in just two years. Then they charged us $475 plumbing fee for flushing "flushable" wipes. Their lease agreement is 68 pages long so eventually they will charge you for something. They have no shame."

"From my experience of viewing a property thats on the market for rent was good, I was told by Nikita to only put myself on the application if I have good everything.... even though I have a partner. If the owner needed something else he'll have my partner do an application himself, so I went on to do my application for the 3/2 the same day I viewed the condo without my partner on my application because of what Nikita told me, but the next day she text me stating I have great credit and due to the difference of rent I paid at my old apartment that the owner declined, lso I texted her back my partner has his own income in was going to do the application also. She wrote back also my occupancy is over limits. From my understanding 6 people can live in a 3 bedroom apartment. 2 people per room. . I truly feel this owner didn't give me a chance , because they didn't even wait for my partner to submit an application just quickly declined mines.. but anyways may the good Lord be with these people. They got my $38 its all good."

"If you can go through another realty company please do they are VERY nasty people. The company had took my payment for rent and deposit a month before me moving in. Then when it was time for me to get out of my old place into the new place they made me wait talking about the company had to inspect the place before I moved into the home. They made me wait 4 days to move in so I had to pay for more days for my uhaul and find somewhere for me and my kids to go. NO ONE in that office cared even a little bit. When they did inspect the home I had to pay them $100. just to get my keys and lease for my unit. Times are hard and this company is ALL about the money. I moved into my unit in January but I'm just now writing a review to see if there would be anymore problems with them and there was. I had to pay my rent on the 1st and I got paid on the first so I called them ahead of time to let them know I would come to there office to pay my rent once I got off work I was 2 minutes late and got charged a late fee and I was calling them while in traffic. They also told me that they had to come out to inspect the unit after 6 months to make sure the property was not being damaged. No problem. What they never told me was that they would have to take a picture of every room in the home. No privacy.!! They are rude unprofessional and don't play about there money. I still have to see what's going to happen when it's time for them to give me my deposit back I will update. JUST RUN!!!!!"
