Withheld part of our security deposit to polish a portion of the floor even though they demanded that we hire whole-house cleaners (including floors) and carpet cleaners on our own dime. There was no inspection done by Re831 between tenants whatsoever, and there was no cleaning hired by the previous tenants before we moved in. We got to live in a house with dirty carpets for a year and then pay to have them cleaned for the next tenants. And on top of all of this we had to pay a $200 "Roommate Change Fee" just to move in, because one of our housemates lived there the year prior. Overall it's just

Had a great experience signing a new lease and renting through RE831! While our tenant application was taking a while to run, RE831 reached out to us to keep us updated, and right away let us know once it was completed and accepted. Their online tenant portal makes it great for paying rent and keeping track of house repairs and such. Much simpler than the hassle of collecting housemates rent money and then depositing a check in a landlords personal bank account, as has been my most common experience previously renting in SC. If you are considering following up on a rental listing through RE831

Report
I shared my experiences privately with Suzy and I will not disclose here, but my experience as a tenant was the worst. Being that I'm a property owner and seeing the behind the scenes practices, I would not use RE831 to represent my properties - overall lacks professionalism and follow through.
