Colony American Homes scammers, deceptive, Stockbridge Georgia

Colony American Homes has made my life a living hell since the day I rented property from them one year ago.

I signed a lease with WRI and found out after I moved in that Colony American Homes owned and managed the property.

After fourteen days of moving in I received a 3 day notice to vacate.  The letter stated that I owed them $300.  I sent them the receipts that I received from WRI and explained that there was no way I could have gotten the keys if all monies was not paid.  I throught the situation was taken care of.  On March 1, 2014 I went to pay my rent online but could not because the $300.00 was added to my rent total, which I was not liable for, and the would not accept the monthly rent without the $300.

They filed for eviction for nonpayment of rent. On April 15, 2014 When we arrived at court I was then told that an error was made and $300 of my money was put in the wrong yardi, but still wanted to evict me for non payment.  We signed a consent stating that I will pay March and April's rent the next day or move off the property.  I went the next day to the office to pay March and April's rent only to find out that they wanted me to pay late fees, court cost and attorney fees totaling an additional $390.00.  I had to pay these fees because I had signed a consent stating that I would pay or move in 7 days.  This was a scam to get hundred's of dollars from me.

If a class action suit is brought against Colony homes would surely be a claimant.

Donot trust this company they are very dishonest and use the court system to back-up their dishonesty.

Colony American homes also do not fix repairs as they should.  Everytime I need a repair, they came in and downgraded.  Smaller water heater, smaller kichen faucet, removed the garbage disposal instead of fixing it, left holes in wall after fixing a shelf.

I am so glad this lease is up.  I am out of here.
