If I could leave no stars I would, I have called about 20 times to get my septic tank emptied, but long story short I came home to my septic system being so backed up after a rain that it flooded the whole back of the house with god knows what coming out of the septic system, ruining cloths, dressers, all bathroom stuff that we had and countless other things, on top of all this we had 2 broken windows when we moved in, and after 7 months of living here and calls frequently and nothing has ever happened and our storage building has been slam full of trash from previous owner and we have called and complained about that and now it is invested with rats and god knows what, will be calling health department tomorrow and taking this issue to court

I was interested in a vacant rental property of theirs. I called to inquire and was told the previous tenants had just moved out the prior week and that applications were not gong to be accepted until the property was doctored up and posted on their site. I am now being told that the property is rented and no longer available. MIGHT I ADD --- The house IS NOT done being worked on nor has it been listed.

I would not be upset at all had I been told the house was already spoken for the first time I called. or the 2nd time. or the 3rd, 4th, or 5th time. They obviously play favorites and place tenants according to favor. Who knows who type of company. However, I am glad I missed out on the house after seeing these reviews! Absolutely horrible. Love the house but the company itself is obviously CRAAAAP! PS. No issues with their assistant. Very nice and impressionable. Its moreso their ways as a company that I have an issue with. MY ADVICE - SEARCH ELSEWHERE IF POSSIBLE!

We had a house fire on February 2nd and we own our home of 28 years. We called this realtor about a rental home. They had homes for rent but turned us down due to having two dogs. These dogs are registered service dogs. I will be filing a complaint with the fair housing.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE place to rent from. They used to take care of work orders when something was wrong. Now they do nothing, say u never called then are rude about everything. Take no blame for their mistakes and belittle you when u call their bs. Definately getting in touch with the BBB. No people skills, just rude receptionists who think their sh*t dont stink. Also was hung up on repeatedly when trying to explain something, then picked up receiver and hung up 4 times when i called back immediately. Literally picked up and hung up. What a joke

Their rules do not make sense. You have to make three times the rent and be the only one on the lease BUUUTTTT if someone is living with you that owes money you get denied. That doesn't make sense if the person living with me wages cannot get added. If you deny someone it would also be nice to let them know instead of just denying and taking their money.

One of the worst rental companies I have dealt with. They honestly play around. My roommates and I had mold/mildew in our home. We left letters, called, left voicemails. 4 months until anything was somewhat done and they still dragged their feet. I finally went back and documented all the calls I made, the letter which I had a picture of and began searching for a lawyer. In a last ditch attempt to be nice I tracked down the owner of the home I rent and bissette manages.

Only then, with the threat of losing their clients business did they do anything. I work for the state and I tried everything, EVERYTHING! Even now they have not finished the job of cleaning up the mold and mildew. The people will definitely pretend like you did not call or leave a message. And if you do manage to get someone out to your house they will tell you what they think the problem is but not give any solutions or time frames of when it will be fixed, and you will never get a call back. If you decide to rent from them, just already have the deposit for a lawyer ready, because chances are if you have any problems at your residence you will need one.

I lived in one of their apartments for over 3 years and anytime my roommate and I had a problem, they were there to help. Mr. Bissette personally talked to us many times and was always very understanding and he worked hard to make sure we were happy. Easily 5 stars :
