AH4R (correction)

Original review posted by user Nov 18, 2016

When considering renting from A4HR it's important to pay attention to most of the reviews and take the rest with a grain of salt. They buy houses, often sight unseen, and may do minimal "repairs". Paint can hide a multitude of flaws...for a little while. If you choose to apply for a home, application fees are nonrefundable. Thats not a scam but an industry standard. There are however fees that are beyond ridiculous. For example, paying a $75 fee for someone to come out and fix their property. They want you to be responsible for repairs under $100. Clearly maintenance or the lack thereof, is a HUGE problem with A4HR. Quality does not appear to be a priority either. These fees, and others, are not mentioned when you apply but they are in the lease so study it carefully. Make sure you know the landlord/tenant rights and responsibilities in your particular state.

They use a third party biller for utilities, Conservice. It's not a scam to get money, I have lived in other communities that have used them. They will provide you with a detailed bill, just ask. How do I know? I currently rent from A4HR . They bought the vacant homes in a subdivision and now serve as landlord to almost an entire community. It's far from perfect as there are homes that need some work but there are only a few vacancies in a community with more than 60 homes. I videotaped my walk through, tested the fireplace and dishwasher, etc, and had small repairs done on the spot. I transferred the utilities into my own name, but that may not be an option in every market.

Use caution when dealing with A4HR, throughly inspect any property you are considering. When in doubt....Don't!!!! Read the lease throughly before you sign!!!!

Reason of review: Bad quality.
