If I could give this property management group a zero I would. Awful staff, and horrible property. I lived in a unit with 2 other people, and when we would contact the property, nobody would get back to us. I moved in place of one the rooms and the agent never came to do a walk through or anything. My room was also extremely dirty and nothing had been cleaned. I had to call them multiple times and send multiple emails over weeks to get a reply. The property mangers would not give us a copy of a lease that we asked for months and when she finally got back to us she gave us a different property lease

If you are an adult professional stay away from this company, you will be beyond frustrated at the lack of communication and at times out right lies. When we first moved in to the property the leasing agent contacted us because she had "misplaced" our signed lease, with our personal information. Then we had well documented plumbing issues and at one point agent decided we should pay for plumber, fine provide an itemized bill, never happened. Then when it was time to renew our lease agent claimed she had sent lease via USPS months ago but never bothered to follow up to see if it was received

Never have I been met with such shocking unprofessionalism. After being late twice, and a third time with a no-call/no-show, I am surprised Nicole at Peach Properties even has a job (especially considering the other horrible reviews). Next, she lied and told us she agreed to a different time than that which she originally planned, and had previously made condescending comments doubting our ability to be there at that time. Furthermore, she left the apartment we were supposed to rent unlocked, with confidential documents inside. Even if everything went smoothly, we could not have moved in because
