Druid City Properties

Initially, my experience with Druid City Properties was positive. I live in a house they rent out. Upon arrival, there were massive problems with the property from broken appliances to major sewer problems requiring the front yard to be dug up. I am about 4 months from the end of my lease and have many outstanding problems with the property that I have been very patient about being resolved. Current Problems: Sink that was halfway repaired months ago then turned off and never repaired. Rusty water coming out of upstairs bathtub whenever used. Sewer still remains partially inoperable and whenever laundry is done the house smells strongly of sewage. A month ago I had an entire florescent light fixture about 4 feet in length fall from the ceiling and crush some belongings. To this day it still lies on the floor with exposed wires coming from the ceiling. There is a water leak in the front yard that has turned the entire yard into a swap. This is about a week old and still not repaired. All of the landscaping is in extremely poor condition and there was never grass put back down when the front yard was dug up completely for the initial sewer repair. AC unit that has needed repair multiple times and in the heat the upstairs frequently reaches 80 + I received a phone call today that the homeowner is no longer paying for any repairs to the house and nothing will be fixed. I am told that I cannot hold rent and it is expected in full. Even though my lease was renewed they are planning to cancel it 30 days after my current ones runs out. When initially signing the lease I stated that I wouldn't sign unless the clause stating that if the house was sold I would be terminated within 30 days. Which they happily removed and I then signed. When renewing my lease (without my concession) they put said clause back in. Nowhere in the initial lease does it say changes can be made to the renewal other than the mention of price changes. I believe this company is predatory in their approach to college students and tenants alike and I am very disappointed with how this incident is being handled. I am now put in the position of looking for new residence late in mid may when almost all houses for lease are either taken, or have noticeable problems. Not to mention the cost of having to move again in less than 12 months. I am a college student who works very hard for every dollar and have tried my very best to give them more than ample time to bring the residence to the expected condition. Regardless of the situation with the owner. In the end the responsibility of maintaining a leased property and the welfare of their tenants lies on Landlord. Other than the problems above. The staff is incredibly nice and responsive. I have had absolutely no problems with communication.

My family and I have had nothing but good experiences with Druid City Properties. Everyone there is super friendly and they really helped to make our move from another state a lot less stressful. I highly recommend them.
