I recently left an R&E property after two miserable years. My apartment was water damaged, the pests are huge and abundant and the manager was a witch with a capital B. R&E cares about nothing but the rent which is regularly raised to its maximum. When service requests are put in they go ignored and when you try to follow up on anything the woman in the office is surly and rude. I lived in an apartment complex in Hollywood, the building had 24 tiny apartments but only 11 parking spaces. I was told that I'd be placed on the waiting list for my own space. After the first year I counted the number of tenants who'd moved out, 17, and wondered why my requests for a space had gone unheeded since I'd been there the longest without a spot and had seniority. The answer as usual was the run around. The same went for repairs. The person in charge of what ever I called in for was off that day. Now that I've moved out I'm still having problems with them: my deposit was finally returned after 90 days (the law says three week maximum) and I'm being charged for rediculous repairs. I'm being charged for having dirty screens! They have no grace period for late rent, 1 day late is $25 3 days is $50 and they curiously sent me tenant violations and eviction warnings for b.s. reasons every time I complained about a problem. They are shysters, do business some where else!
Cons: They'll do everything they can to screw you
