American Homes 4 Rent - Only rent from AH4R if it's your only choice!

Rent from AH4R if it's your only choice. We rented a home from them and stayed for a year and a half while our home was being built.

From the start, they made the process of making a deposit for the home Very difficult and kept giving all kinds of different answers as to how it was to be handled which made it very frustrating. The home was very tired and various shades of paint on the walls had been used over the years to cover holes or marks. For the most part everything worked okay. Over the length of our stay, we had a couple of issues, roof leak, water heater busted and a water heater element went bad.

To their credit, they had these issues resolved very quickly and we cannot complain about that at all. One thing that I'm very glad we did was take some detailed pictures of the condition of the rental when we moved in. Like ALL rental companies, they want to come up with Bogus claims that the property has been damaged or neglected and then charge you, so they can hang on to as much of your deposit money as possible. We left the home SPOTLESS!

And in far better condition than we received it. Even according to the Representative from AH4R doing the walk through after move out, he said it was in "Move in ready condition"! But they still wanted to charge me a $250 cleaning fee! Then they came up with several other bogus claims of damage, and when I disputed the claims with pictures, they relented and gave me back the money, but still charged me with a $125 cleaning fee.

So, make sure wherever you rent to detail the condition when you move in.

AH4R is just okay, I'm sure there are better and I know there are a lot worse. read less
