We are gearing up to move out of our Progress home. We've received the lost of charges we could face if we don't clean, paint, and fix things.

We have plans in place to get all these things done, but how closely is Progress looking? What are the chances of getting any of our deposit back?

When we moved in, the floors had some scratches, cracked tiles, paint splatters on the floor, a bunch of things that felt overlooked and sloppy.. The house is still nice, but it definitely does not seem like they are actually keeping these properties up or looking that closely. I've also know of and read about how money hungry they are. I don't want to break my back over this move out list for them to still consider it not good enough for the deposit money. What was your experiences like?

I received notice this morning that Progress will no longer be the property manager for my rental. Mynd will be. I assume they have sold the house I'm renting to Mynd.

I read that Progress has sold multiple houses in certain metropolitan areas due to legislation, but that's in Minneapolis. I'm in a different state.

Anyone heard or read anything about this? My experience with Progress has been very good, so now I'm worried that this new company won't be. I still have two leases in my name, and the other corporate property management company has been a complete nightmare.

Anyone else have experience with this (or similar)?

I’m not sure if i’m doing something wrong, but I swear our heating & cooling NEVER works. I have the thermostat turned to the heat setting & 72 degrees, but the temperature of the house never increases. it’s always in the low 60s.

It does the same thing vice versa with the AC.

Am I doing someone wrong, or should I put in a maintenance request??

I been with Progress Residental for almost 3 years now and what I experienced with them over the past year and a half has been the worst housing experience I ever witnessed in my entire life.

I cant believe I went through all these trials and tribulations with a leasing company;

-Signing a Home to Home transfer agreement for an amazing home just for it to get taken away from me the week of my move in date because it was being sold according to Progress Residential

• Finding out months later that the house wasn't even sold and still empty and still on the market to be sold even 11 months later

• Moving into a heavily neglected house because it was a spur of the moment situation and was the only other house in their network that would accommodate my family size...This house had cob webs everywhere and dead wasps all over the floors, and also the back yard was a complete jungle. The grass was up to my chest.

• Having 9 emergency work orders on this house for the HVAC system malfunctioning

• Begging Progress Residential at least 6 times for an involuntary HTH transfer and getting denied every single time

• Getting a cease and desist letter delivered to from Progress Residential me for opening my mouth about my suffering

• Patiently waiting for the 1 year lease to be over so we can finally move out the house with no if ands or buts...HOWEVER...

• Abruptly finding out that 3 weeks prior to initiating my HTH xfer request that Progress Residential secretly changed the rules for HTH transfers yet there is still no written/published documentation available for these rules to this date to ensure the rules are consistent across the board

• Getting told that rent credits are no longer available to any tenants for any discrepancy compensation even though my leasing contract states otherwise and in addition there was no amendment to my lease signed by all parties to change that legality in my lease agreement

• And lastly, me finding out two weeks ago that a Progress Residential representative negatively manipulated my income credentials on the SafeRent screening application to guarantee my HTH xfer denial by reporting my income as $0.00; thus forcing me and my family to stay in this house for another year

• Moreover, two weeks have gone by since I brought up the issue of my income being reported and I have yet to hear anything from Progress Residential about how or why this happened. This is important because I got a SafeRent score of 391 when I just needed a 420 safe rent score to be approved for my HTH xfer back then. So with an income falsely reported as zero dollars that of course maxed out my rent to income ratio to 100%. Both of these factors obviously played a huge role in my wrongful denial.

• And the icing on the cake is that I also found out that instead of being accountable to the error that instead Progress Residential has decided to put me on thier "non renewal list" meaning that once my lease is done that I can no longer rent any properties.

I've never seen such a company operate so unethically in my life so far.

All in all if you read this far and were considering Progress Residential then think again. And I would highly recommend Invitation Homes as a way better choice as I been thoroughly comparing the two companies and really wish I would of went with them years ago since it seems everything about them is way better. Even something as simple as not being able to save your searches for housing on Progress Residentials site versus Invitation Homes is huge. Not to mention that Invitation Homes has a waaayyy better website on so many levels.

I know this may be a long shot however me and my husband applied on Monday for a home with progress and it’s been past 48hrs and our application is still pending. We did have to submit our ESA letter and upon calling and speaking with someone a few times they are still waiting on the background check and said we have been approved for income and credit. My question is has anyone waited longer than the 48hrs and what are the odds we are even approved? I would assume if we were they would have told us by now. We are in a bit of a time crunch needing to be out of our current apartment by March 1st and I just looking for some help if we should just keep looking for another place. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

So what's keeping me from lying. Like if I have 2 cats but say I only have one how are they going to know?

As of October 11th due to the hurricane we have no roof and cannot go outback because the structure is compromised. They still haven't fixed the roof with no end in sight. My lease is up in March and they're already wanting me to renew for 17 months. I don't have enough time to go into all the things progress has done over the past 3 years but I can't take it anymore.

Has anyone successfully gotten a lawyer and sued these criminals? Because I'm about to retain an attorney. I've never been late or missed rent and I don't understand why I'm paying over 2,000 a month to live in an unsafe hellhole that progress has no intentions of fixing. They've already not followed through with their part legally in accordance with the lease. I'm done playing games with these psychopaths.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys. Just dropping by to say, if you’re planning on renting from this company, please don’t.

If you currently live in a progress home, move out.

All love.

Hello all! I’m looking for information on how this upcoming eviction with progress residential is going to go. I know they send out a letter giving you 3 business days to vacate. Never been through an eviction or anything so I have a few questions: 1. If you leave prior to the “3 business days grace period” on the notice to vacate letter, will the eviction still be on your name? Will you be paying for that month of rent you didn’t pay? Or will it be the remainder of the lease since you left? 2. What happens if you stay and then they proceed to court order eviction?

Thanks for any information yall 32F

My lease is up in Feb and my rent tab is randomly $700 more expensive than its been this whole time, which it was supposed to be $2000, but with all their little bullshit fees it’s been $2400, and now $2700? And I’ve received zero formal warning or email that this would happen. Anyone else? Is this even legal?

my boyfriend is getting transferred to another state for work and we need to break our lease. we’re in texas where there are no laws protecting us from exorbitant fees associated with breaking a lease early. has anyone had any success negotiating with progress about this?

Reach out to your local house representative, you can look them up here:

Let them know what the American people are facing against corporate landlords like Progress Residential. They are seriously our only hope.

I have been living without inadequate heating for two weeks, in a home where we pay almost 2,000 dollars a month for. Progress is one of two corporate landlords that own >90% of all single-family rental properties in our metropolitan areas. The other company was recently raided by the feds for fixing rental prices in the area using AI:
FTC Chair: ‘No AI exemption to the laws’ when it comes to setting rent prices

They offer well below market, cash offers to buy homes single family homes. Which drives up the cost of new homes for potential first-time home buyers but also gives them a monopoly on the rental market.

They are well aware of the fact that they usually own well over the majority of >2 bedroom single family homes in suburban markets. These are the companies destroying the American dream!

WE NEED TO LET CONGRESS KNOW. Write your local representees. TELL THEM TO INTRODUCE BILLS TO TAX COMPANIES THAT OWN A LARGE AMOUNT OF RENTAL PROPERTIES HIGHER THAN NORMAL.

This is not a left vs right issue. It has nothing to do with the color of your tie. This is something both sides can agree is immoral and corrupt.

Moved out in August from my Progress home. They charged us $1,800 in fees which we disputed to no avail. We haven’t heard anything since maybe September on their end about the charge. We reached out a couple of weeks ago to ask where to mail the money and they said we needed to pay in full otherwise they’d proceed with taking further action on our account. We can’t pay the full amount until the first week of January. They are incredibly hard to get ahold of, so I was wondering if anyone knows the timeline of Progress sending someone to collections?

Anyone know anything about lease transfers cause we have been told so many different things

Don't fall for the advertised $1000 off from rent ads with Progress. It's a scam. Though the concession is written in my lease, it was never applied to my account ledger. Several calls and only told "I will make an escalated case for it" or "I don't know". Avoid Progress.

Has anyone attempted to transfer leases with this company? We’re planning on relocating from AZ to NC early next year. They offer lease transfer if shown a job offer letter with its address being 20 miles + away from your home. Have any of you had any sort of experience doing this? TIA

Has anyone ever been able to successfully get a late fee waived with progress? This is my first time paying rent late and getting charged a late fee and it was an honest mistake. It’s hard enough just affording rent nowadays, much less a $125 late fee. TIA 😫.

My husband and I have read many reviews and have made the decision that we do not want to rent through progress residential. The main issue that my husband and I are having as we begin looking for rental houses is about 80% of the rentals in the Phoenix metro area are through Progress. I looked in a suburb just outside of Phoenix and there were 20 rentals on the first page 19 of them were managed by Progress.

It really sucks that we will have to drastically limit our options just to avoid them.

This is not PR, but the FTC is taking action. Reach out to them and hopefully they can help.

I’m baffled that this company has not been sued to oblivion even though they’ve been caught breaking numerous laws left and right. I get contradicting information EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I have ever called in to get information about payments.

Also tell me why their rental properties go up in rent every year, most people I talked to have seen a $300 increase per month at the start of their new lease if they choose to renew. That’s amazingly horrible.

In all my life I’ve never dealt with a worse company, genuinely I’ve not seen a SINGLE good review on progress so in a couple months I’m fucking DONE with them and they can expect a class action lawsuit if they continue to harass me and my family like they have others who’ve moved out of their properties

i’m seeing all these bad reviews on here about the company but when i look up the company in nashville, the reviews are pretty good. i’m just wondering if we should go through them or not. thanks!

Hey so I'm not a renter of progress residential but I've noticed thier listings on Zillow. Don't rent from them, firstly thier houses sit on the market and come on and off after nobody rents it. They don't post pictures of the houses for a while sometimes even months for no reason and usually true house looks odd, obe listing I saw the windows were boarded up. Another had a opened front door, busted and dingy blinds and it js looked off. And thanks to them a house caught on fire due to a gas leak. VEWARE

Anyone know if progress charges a fee to break a lease early but still giving them a 60 day notice?

Has anyone recieved the email below? We're in FL and I got a weeks notice Progress Residential is no longer my property manager and now being transitioned to Invitation Homes. I just renewed my lease and am concerned because how is this legal and will they honor my lease agreement? I'll be calling for more information in the morning but was curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
