DBD Homes manages several of my properties and they do great job overall, despite how difficult the job must be. Brett and his team are good at communicating and they have solid procedures in place for each home they rent out so they can make sure they’re being fair to both the landlord and the renter. Thank you!
I rented from this property management for approximately 8 yrs ..I never had any problems with them ..none whatsoever..I rate them high on a scale of 10..I highly recommend dbd management ..Thank you for being good to me ...Thank you👍🏿
This rental company is completely trash!! My son rented 2 apartments from them and was a very good tenant. When he moved the apartment looked better than when he first moved in! Now they are suing him for trash left in the garage that he never used or had access to. They will make up lies just to keep your deposit and make you pay for stuff so they don’t have to pay! All they care about is their money and not how their properties are! I feel sorry for anyone that rents from them
Rented through them for 3 years. They were always decent with me. I just don’t like how they tried charging me things wrong with the apartment that had nothing to do with me!
These people only look to nickel and dime around every corner and do not know what professionalism even is! Let alone courtesy! They will take advantage of anyone in a hard situation and they are the sole definition of slumlords. You will clean up after previous tenants when moving in and will get denied maintenance requests on things that can deem the property uninhabitable. And good luck talking w anyone on the phone they are all super rude and disrespectful and as far as maintenance goes nobody speaks any English...
Son estrictos en su contratos, es súper bien vivir en los apartamentos
We have not been able to shower and the water has been super icy. Please understand from our point of view. The temperature was been set to super low. I have called a contractor and got to look at it as well. Its hard to survive with no hot water. The heat has been super low as well. We can manage with no heat as i bought a heater but no hot water is just crazy that too during the winter. My sister is unwell and i have to boil the water for her from my stove and give her.. I have paid for every single maintenance fees, I have walked in and paid my rent everything. Still I have to go through th…
We had water bubbling in the paint, when it rained really hard for a few days straight, and they just bandage it and it happen again, and the rats and mouse where so bad, probably still is, They dont accept trustee help or any kind of help of any kind. It turned into a crap show and force us out, just so they could move in within the week. Do not I repeat do not rent from these people ever,
If you rent from this company be prepared to.... 1. Be over charged 2. Ignored when you have issues 3. The lady in the office to only say " I can look your account up, and threaten you 4. And maintenance to come fix something that wasn't even broke and ignore what needed fixed. Just be prepared to have issues with the office everytime you try to talk to them.
Move me in and door frame was rotting I only discovered this a year afterwards I have seen fully grown inch and a half cockroaches mice run around like they own the kingdom my cat can't even keep up with it enough there is no air conditioning at all I suffer everyday in trifling Heat to the point of near exhaustion and one point each day and that's just the start of it someone needs stop this crap they need to close down the whole business or be legally forced to
Me and my husband rented from DBD Homes for nearly 2 years. While I haven't had the same horrible experience as some others did, they're still the worst property management company I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. My biggest gripe was that we had loose siding that was allowing bugs and animals into our attic. I reported it in August, I followed up weekly for the first month (with my calls going unanswered and my messages not returned), and the repairs weren't completed until the morning of December 7th. We also asked them to notify us when they were going to patch it so we could ensur…
100% I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEY DONT FIX ANYTHING THEY DONT WORK WITH YOU ON ANYTHING AND THEY MIX UP YOUR RENT WITH OTHER RESIDENTS THEY ARE NOT HONEST THEY TRY TO MAKE YOU SPEND MORE MONEY THAN YOU NEED TO THEY SAY THEY FIX SOMETHING BUT IN REALITY THEY DO NOT THEY ARE THE WORSET LANDLORDS I HAVE EVER HAD
I had found evidence of cockroach in my apartment after them saying everything was set okay. This disgusting and dangerous for anyone’s health especially with someone who has a chronic heart condition and extreme asthma. Also had requested for a bigger place put the application in and never heard anything back and had requested to have my stove worked on and again nothing got done. Nothing but slum lords and money grabbers.
I rented from DBD for about a year and a half and had no issues. The property wasn't the nicest, but at the time that is all I could get. I did have a small water leak that was addressed. That was my only interaction with the maintenance crew, and it was fine. The only thing I disliked was not knowing when they will show up until about an hour before. Having an actual maintenance scheduling system would be nice especially for those working 3rd shift. Before leaving, I did have the carpet professionally cleaned as requested in the lease agreement and cleaned up after myself, which yielded in me…
Fridge broke and it took them almost a week to get me a new one, apartment flooded 2 days in a row ruining a lot of my belongings, water never stays running in the shower, it’s been below 60° for the last 3 weeks and still have no heat….
I’ve been very frustrated trying to get some closure from the management and has gotten nowhere. 2 bedrooms of the home vents does NOT work. The whole house vents does not blow heat. Is starts to blow for 3-4 min then turns like a cool fan blow idk what’s going on with furnace and maintenance doesn’t either. (As they say) I’ve put work orders in called code and maintenance has came out numerous times. Their maintenance is not being transparent with me nor them. Everytime I speak with office they get smart or rude or say “this is my first time hearing this” I’m just overall frustrated and defea…
Terrible rental company. I rented from them for 2 years and it was terrible maintenance assistance late all the time. The person who owned the house would come over and come in unnoticed. My basement always flooded and would always take them forever to get it fixed NEVER RENT FROM THEM
We’ve been renting a home with DBD for three years and have just renewed our lease for another year. We have been very satisfied with them. If we need something addressed as far as maintenance they are quick to respond and whoever comes to comes are very professional and solve the problem quickly. I think the reviews on here are old and the current management is excellent at taking good care of their tenants.
Very bad bed bugs cold houses with no furnace
My Disabled Adult Son and another Disabled gentleman, receiving services through Easter seals: have been renting a home on Preston Drive that is supposed to be maintained by this company, the house has been nothing but a nightmare! The toilet needed replaced over a year ago. The toilet has been running non-stop for months. The Hot waterheater leaked and flooded the carpets: mold!!! It continued to leak for days. The half bath toilet ran non-stop for months! The shower is beyond disgusting along with the 1960 vanity that is crumbling. This company should be a shame. It’s obvious, that the maint…
I like everyone else on here would give them 0 stars if possible. They ripped me off on my deposit also but this is something else. My husband passed away in July of 2023. He had a 75-70 pound shepherd/Husky mix. He went on hospice 2 weeks prior. We were separated at the time and the dog had to leave. So I took her to my apartment that I was renting. It just so happened that there was an inspection at that same time. So o messaged DBD and told them about her and asked if it was ok to keep her there while I was trying to find a new home for her. They said no she could not stay and said well I t…
STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!! We lived in our house for two years. We have never ever ever EVER had an instance of bedbugs in our lives. When we moved out, they charged us $800 for bedbugs!!! ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?!?! I would like to see the official exterminator report saying that there was bedbugs present. They also refused to help us get rental assistance while we lived there because they have to pay taxes on it and they wouldn’t.
DO NOT GO TO DBD HOMES … Just Run Far Away; Extremely Horrible People Run This Company. They are Criminals. Update today is 11/7/25: Now they are raising Rent Every year instead of Every 2 years as promised. Then blame it on the owners when they never spoke to the owners in the first place. They Don’t fix Nothing. This Company is going Broke & are Slumlords. They are so horrible to the point they will manipulate the Best tenants. They also have people write fake reviews who are giving them five stars when in reality the deserve a Negative 5 Star. The property I’m renting was robbed & vandalize…
Please don't do this to yourself they are the worst rental company that exists they prey on people that are low income and barely keep up on their properties. We had the sewage back up into our apartment they came into the apartment and handed me a bucket a mop and some 409!!! And said here ya go... They let people that had roach infested living quarters stay We had a bedbug scare from them that we had to pay to have taken care of and just before we moved out the kitchen sink started backing up into our apartment and flooding the kitchen. And then they tried to come after us in court! We lawye…
I didn't expect much from slumlords, but I at least expected the shoddily maintained house to not be condemned for structural issues in less than a year. But hey, they at least pretended to be doing me a favor when doing the legally required bare minimum by ending the lease. Instead of putting even the smallest amount of effort into finding my family a comparable property from their inventory. **edit update: After posting this review, and likely because of this review, they reached out, found a property, and expidited the process to transfer over/start a new lease.
Slum lords. None of our windows locked. Two didnt close properly. We had a homeless man come in on the regular. Our doors didnt lock. We put in multiple maintenance requests. They never fixed anything then charged us for breaking it all. The basement flooded and the heat was out for over a month in -30 degrees a few winters ago.
It’s only gotten worse as time has gone on. Plumbing issues. Issues in the structure and foundation. Issues in the roof and ceiling. Cracks all throughout the ceiling and wall as as if the house is shifting. Water hasn’t worked since November (they never came to fix it) they’re charging me every month for a dog I don’t have. I don’t see how this company is up and running. I’m in the process of getting a lawyer because none of this is ethical.
I originally wrote a review 3 years ago when I moved into an apartment with DBD. I wish I could give them zero! I loved the style of my apartment, and how helpful everyone was at first. ALTHOUGH, that DRASTICALLY changed by the end. I'm a solar energy consultant, mother, and CASA/YMCA volunteer, I'm not the usual riffraff that is normally associated with DBD. Maintenance wasn't horrible. Sometimes they came out to fix things, but it was usually never timely, to be honest, I was just grateful they made the effort... Until, a pipe had burst under my apartment, and whole apartment flooded with SE…
Terrible people to rent from.
They don't fix anything I would never rent for them I spent more money and time at motels then I spent at home due ti busted sewer pipe that they refused to fix so after months of dealing with them I just moved out and they had the nerves to sue me they are trash!
I moved in with DBD a few weeks ago when I moved in I could tell the home was older (which I wanted) within a day or two they have come out and repaired or replaced anything wrong. They have been very good to me and my father so far! Thank you DBD for everything !
