Since day of moving in my friend and I have been complaint of a cockroach infestation. It doesnt matter to them. I asked to transfer apartments but they tried to charge me 200+$ for their own fault. They allow people to move into trashed, infested apartments. The next thing is my windows have been leaking rust for months. The maintenance man said himself that my window was broken. They keep saying they will fix it but never have. Im not going to pay them for rust leaking and staining their carpets and window sill. Some staff are friendly but others are real young and talk bad about the

They say their employees come first and that they are taken as a high priority but I can say firsthand that is blatantly untrue. They treat employees like complete garbage disregarding their needs. I worked for them personally and was promised a 1500 dollar sign on bonus that never came. Along with an extra 100 for getting "vaccinated". I still have yet to see either payment. Do not give this company the time of day

I lived at Collier Companies for 3 years, at three different apartments. The first two were okay, but the last one was quite awful. Which is why I did not resign with a Collier company after the third year. 95% of the issues revolved around management, as most of the other reviews here also explain, so I won't go into detail because it's quite a long list. I know they have my number, so Collier Companies, if you're reading this, please feel free to call me and we can discuss the countless issues your apartments have.

My husband and I are current residents of Highlands at Heathbrook in Ocala. It is a lovely complex and we absolutely love it here. The office staff at Highlands is great. The amenities are wonderful. It is a comfortable and safe place to live. However, our rent for a 1BR is going up by nearly $350. We were only given a week to decide if we would accept the price and renew the lease, or else the amount would increase by even more. Not only is the cost ridiculous, but it is CRIMINAL how they did not give us a fair amount of time to decide. We had no choice but to accept the offer, as we were not

I pay rent the third of each month. Physically delivering the payment. This company is messing with my credit reporting NSF fees that are erroneous and late payment fees. I have bank statements to prove the payments and there are no NSF charges on my account but nothing has been done to rectify it. They sent me a third 2 day vacate notice. Is it time for me to contact an attorney?
