Absolutely horrible! They helped me get into an apartment development and when I began having issues with management, repeatedly called police about being harassed by a psychotic druggie tenant, THEY THREW ME UNDER THE BUS!!! Said that they can no longer "support" me, yet claimed to be "supportive"??? I am in the process of filing a grievance complaint with the state regarding this horrible situation they "put" me in. The supervisor is a disgusting, lying, petty....she said "you signed the lease" "we have no control over the circumstances'. Steer clear and far of this organization!!!
