I live in one of the Callahan apartments. It's 3 buildings, last week they removed one of the large dumpster for no reason at all. So there is a total of one dumpster for about 100 people. Naturally the one dumpster overflowed in one weeks time and trash bags were left on the side and top of dumpster. Callahan's solution to this problem is to charge each unit an extra 50$ due to trash being left on the ground by dumpster two days after I paid my rent. During a pandemic, with no notice. Definitely think twice because this is not the first issue like this that has occurred. Trash was emptied

Family? Paying employees extra as an incentive? Until I read through some of these reviews, I thought I was on the receiving end of Rob Callahan's vile and obnoxious eviction text messages bc I had somehow made the list of "special" tenants. Not so, says a 2.9 rating. I laugh when I read their claim to fame is through building trust with relationship support and PROMPT service. I have saved his nasty messages and logged all maintenance requests that were never completed and may end up posting all of it so potential clients will know what to expect before signing up. People who hate their jobs should

My man has lived here for six years. He got behind when he lost his job from the pandemic. We are paying an additional$50 over the $450 rent trying to catch up. My man was in the hospital with congestive heart failure so I could not come up with the whole $500. I paid $400 plus $9.99 because I used my debit card. Now he is going to evict us.
DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE! This is a hump in our floor they said we had to pay to repair. The water under the apartment made the floor buckle. Under the piece of wood is where my foot went thru the floor.

I wanted to give them the benefit of a doubt but now im convinced this company is scamming people. They "approve" you and then say someone else has paid the deposit so you'll need to apply for another house. Then it takes them 2 weeks to get back to you about anything. My advice is stay away from this company
