Verified ReviewerAnybody that is try move bickerstaff crossing you might as well live in public housing
No one should ever move to Bickerstaff Crossing. You might as well live in public housing because that's what it's like.
The county of Henrico had to cut our grass; they have bed bugs and no maintenance man. When I reported the bedbugs, they didn't even have a contract for a year and six months with any pest control. So, when I had the issue with the bedbugs, they told me that it was debris. They never treated my apartment.
When people moved out, I had to call the fire department because it was cluttered from an eviction that had occurred. They aren't clean; trash is left in the hallways. There are rats, roaches, and horrible management. If you have a house choice voucher or you're in that program, I suggest that you go somewhere else because you're going to be unhappy.
The management is unprofessional and racist. It's just a horrible place to live. It's new, but it looks like it's been there for 100 years. The carpet, which is an indoor/outdoor type, is glued to the floor.
I just don't want anyone to go through what I went through living there. Washers and dryers have been left in the hallway. I had to call the county for trash pickup several times due to the cats living in the hallways. The elevator is not working and people are smoking in the hallways, including smoking weed.
There have even been shootings there. It's truly a horrible place to live.
Preferred solution: I just want other people to be aware of the stamp crossing and I don’t want anybody to have to go through the information that I went through while I live there
User's recommendation: Not to move to bickerstaff crossing

Verified ReviewerDesign & functionality are an abomination
I have no idea how this site is used by any apartments, much less most. It is impossible to correct any information or add information where needed when applying for an apartment.
It lacks so many basic functions needed when filling out paperwork that is legally binding. I have no idea whether I am able to even apply to an apartment due to the basic information listed & changed by this software, like my lease term & move in date that I have tried to edit. It lacks the ability to enter in data on paperwork you are supposed to fill out. Beyond unacceptable.
I'd rather go back to filling it out by hand, so there is no error & choices made for you that you cannot fix and hand it in to an agent. How is there not a class action lawsuit against this company given the number of complaints I've seen, as well as theft & fraud committed?
Preferred solution: A functional website that is user friendly, as I may be homeless with the 14 hours I've spent just trying to put in an application so I'm not homeless.

Verified Reviewer |AutoPay fails. No advanced payment confirmation.
My apartment complex moved to Rent Cafe from a system that worked 100% of the time. My auto pay did not come out and I was told it may be because the 1st fell on a weekend.
How dumb. It's never been an issue before. We got notified a week early of pending rent payments and the full amount was always deducted. I made a manual payment and it did not deduct the full amount as in the past.
I'm really concerned about late fees. It's not showing the full breakdown as the old system did. I hate the new system and do not trust it. I wish they had considered the bad reviews Rent Cafe has before making a switch to this system.
I would have rather they raised the rent a little rather than forcing us into a system that's outdated and does not work. There is no customer service. Very disappointing.
Makes me wonder if maintenance requests will go through properly. Extremely disappointed.

Verified ReviewerRentcafe account issues
I'm having account issues regarding bank accounts and my property management is absolutely no help! I've done all the necessary steps to resolve issues and am still unable to use accounts.
When my property (Revo, Anaheim, Ca) was managed by Greystar, I had no issues.
Now that Gables property management has taken over, I'm having one issue after another. I need this resolved ASAP.
Preferred solution: The ability to use bank accounts to pay my rent and all returned check fees credited!!

Verified ReviewerNo Recourse for Online Payment Grievance
I have called their support number 4-5 times, I guess the line is no longer active? So where do I go?
The online form on the support page doesn't work, or if it does there is no way to know my form is submitted or received. I paid my rent outside of my usual auto pay, and yet I was deducted rent a second time without any charges active on the account. As with many people, I would guess this may be an enormous problem. Secondly, the pain of figuring out how to get my money back has been unbelievably trying.
My property owner can't help. Rentcafe seems intentionally designed to spurn you if you have an account problem.
- No way to access customer service
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerUnable to complete the rent payment
When I entered my detailed information, such as the amount due, and went through the full process, it gave me an 'unable to process your transaction at this time' message. When I checked with my management, they indicated that they had no error on their end. I'm not understanding why I'm getting this error message.
