Reviews and Complaints

Fake reviews-I was scammed, lost my money.

The point is that I fell for the positive reviews I saw on this site. There are only positive reviews on Apartmentratings because they are deleting all the negative feedback. I left a review there and several minutes later it disappeared! I went online and found many complaints that negative reviews get erased! So please, do not believe anything you see on Apartmentratings.

Don't trust this website

Not sure you can trust this website. I don't and I have some reasons.

In a nutshell. I went through a negative experience and decided to share it with their readers. So I wrote a review. I saw it was published. But several days later they deleted it. I used no bad words, everything was correctly written, in general, it was a negative review written in a polite manner. I wrote a similar one again and it was deleted too.

What can I say? It's absolutely obvious that this website is full of positive but fake reviews. So I would never trust anything they publish there...

This organization has an F rating from the national Better Business site. Even in their information about themselves on the website, they "state' things like"they are the most visited" website for apt reviews. If you do a little research on them, as of Spring 2023-they are the 6th.

The organizations (or apt communicates) must be paying something to add positive reviews or remove negative ones. I tried to leave a review, and the website just took me in circles. One particular apt community had like a 100 5 star reviews. They were all from like one year. Where are the reviews from other years? The place has been in business for 40 years.

If you look at more trusted websites like yelp, facebook, google, and other apt sites, the highest rating for the apts was a 3 out of 5.

Other reviews here say the same thing-Something is fishy here.

I used to rent an apartment via www.apartmentratings.com and had a terrible experience. That was a long story, I was scammed, lost my money.

The place I used to live in used to have a rating of 18%. But in the last couple years many of the negative reviews - particularly the ones mentioning the bad insect problems - have mysteriously disappeared! Having lived there myself I know the insect problems were bad and the reviews were legit. Now the place has a 34% rating.

Don't trust this site at all - the ratings of apartments listed are completely fraudulent!

Also it's my belief that positive reviews are more likely to be the fraudulent ones than negative reviews. Management has a vested interest to keep their rating up and create fake reviews (especially if they have a crappy place). The average person who has bad experience will post one review - they're not going to recruit 10 friends to write negative reviews about the place. Management also is free to respond to reviews in the comments section to present their side of things.

DON'T MOVE HERE, THIS IS THE WORST OF THE WORST! RUN AWAY!

Run...Run... do not come close to this horrible place...

Management is NASTY! Specially the receptionist! They have a very bad attitude and do not hold up their end of the bargain, they are very rude and extremely unhelpful.
They charged all the security deposit for all sort of cleaning and more ... for no reason. A light bulb replacement is $10. Never heard when you were moving, need pay $55 for carpet cleaning because before you move out they want you to clean the carpet proffessionally, if not they will charge you. They just expect you flying instead of living in the apartment. Even the bathroom mirror charged $5 for cleaning. Even the windows they charged $45. because you supposed to clean the windows, bathroom floor, tub, toilet bowl-$45 but their aim is to never give your deposit back. So check your inspection sheet when you get it and check every little stain in the floor, in the drawers, everywhere!
I am a clean person, and I was cleaning after moving out. Still they put "Dirty" on all sorts of things, In fact, it much cleaner then when I first moved in!
So you can never expect to get security deposit back! Never live here!
I must say that out of my years of rental history Royal Crest was the WORST! PLEASE if you are reading this do NOT rent here if you can help it because it s not worth it!

Terrible! - I can't believe this website is legal! Anyone can lie and say anything and say it anomously and nothing is verifed. At least with the better business bureau if someone complains a business can tell their side of the story. With this website anyone can say anything and not have to defend their position. This site should be taken down.

I went to this site simply to review some tentant ratings regarding a couple of apartment complexes that I am considering. In order to read the full review, it was required that I create an account. A telephone number was required in order to complete the account, so I provided them with [protected] in order to avoid calls from locator services (phone number should be optional, not required). I then received an e-mail asking for a phone number, and responded as to why I did not wish to provide one at this time. The next thing I know, some guy named "Ty" with the apartment locator service has traced my location via my e-mail, and is calling me at work just to let me know that he found me. This behavior was unprofessional in the extreme and more than a little threatening. In what reality is this acceptable business etiquette?
