Fat Property

If I can give this place stars, I would. poor communication if I’d ever seen it.
On the application, like ALL rental applications, asked if there are any pets. I put my black lab and how much she weighed. Got approved for the apt. Asked about her deposit. One of the property managers said…‘Oh yeeeaaa, I forgot to add it. By the way, how much does your dog weigh?’ I said I put it on the application. Then she proceeds to say ‘she might be too big, I have to ask my boss, I will get back to you at the end of the day.‘
WHY WAS THIS INFORMATION NOT ON THE WEBSITE?
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME THIS?
WHY DID THEY NOT READ IT ON MY APPLICATION?
Needless to say, she didn’t get back to me at the end if the day, but the next day. Turns out my dog is too big so I can’t get the apt. All of this could’ve been avoided and I wouldve never applied and spent money on an application fee.
Also, I put on my application (before the dog situation) that I would move in on the 17^th. They insisted I move in on the 1^st. Wtf.
I was also told my rent would be $ 950. However, I got a notice saying it would be $ 1,100. Smh.
Finally, I received an statement from them saying my deposit was due on the 1^st. Less than 24 hrs after I got another notice saying it was due immediately or else they would put it back on the market. I told them that on the statement they sent me, it said the first. Needless to say, they didn’t care what the statement said.
So yea, I won’t be renting from them.

Lack of communication, what you get for what you pay for could be better and lets not forget if you ever need to come into the office to attempt to speak to an actual person do not even bother as no one is ever there. I feel for what I pay I could of just stayed at the Camden apartments and paid a little extra but had something a lot nicer and had the opportunity to deal with actual people who care about me being their tenant. The only thing I enjoy about my apartment is the location and the hard wood floors, everything else has been tampered together. My apartment had flooded due to them «fixing» the piping underneath I could not get of any one for about two to three hours just a huge disappointment I finally get a call back from one of the agents two hours later after I’ve already spoken to the maintenance she had no clue what was going on. I cannot wait to move

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!!!
I would personally give them zero stars. If you want to live in an apartment that doesn’t do a thing for you, lies to you and then keeps your deposit even when you leave the apartment in a much better condition than was given to you, then go for it. By all means move in and be miserable.
Fat Property blows my mind. They are the most idiotic group of people I have ever had to deal with and when you ask them to do something for you in regards to your apartment, they make excuses of why it isn’t an issue and then when you complain enough, they send over some guy that does a half-​a** job at fixing the problem.
They owe me my deposit which they said I would be getting. The deposit is $ 775. The way it has gone for me is I have called multiple times, went to their office to give them my new living information and have continually tried getting in contact with them with absolutely no success. These people are a SCAM!!! Do not rent from them. Do not give them your money. Just don’t waste your time on them! It isn’t worth it.
These people are seriously the absolute worst.
also, just to give you a little more information, they showed me an apartment that had been newly renovated and told me my apartment would look just the same. When I moved into the apartment, the thing was covered in so much dog hair I couldn’t breath, the window unit was being held up by ducktape, the blinds had been chewed up by a dog and my door nob didn’t even work when it would rain or get too humid (I lived in Houston. It’s always humid!)
JUST DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

I saw their listing for an apartment on a couple of websites. I set up an appointment to meet with their a leasing agent at 4 for the next day. He called me at 3:58 when I was pulling up the apartment to confirm our appointment for 4. I told him that I was pulling up, and he said that he would start walking down to meet me. I waited in my car for 15 minutes for him. The apartment he showed me was fine, just a little dirty/​older than it looks in the pictures, and the neighborhood was a bit sketchy, and I saw someone walk into the building without using a key while I was waiting for the leasing agent to arrive.
I decided not to sign for that apartment, and the leasing agent seemed kind of annoyed that I has wasted his time making him meet me.
On Thursday, I received a call from the same agent about a different property that Fat was leasing. He didn’t realize I was the same person he had seen two days ago. I called him back wanting to see the other apartment, and he seemed extremely hesitant; first he tried to make me fill out an application which doesn’t make sense if I have yet to see the property. Finally he agreed to meet me on Friday as long as it was before 4:30, which is crazy talk for people who work 9 – 5. However, I get off at 3, so I told him we could meet at 4. On Friday, I waited for him at the apartment site for 30 minutes. I called his cell, and the leasing office, both of which were turned off and the voicemail boxes were full. I ended up contacting the property manager who also didn’t answer, but she called me back on Monday.
On Monday at around 3:30, I received an email from the leasing agent who apologized for the delay in response to the email I sent on Thursday confirming our appointment for Friday. Not an apology for not meeting me at the apartment site, or for not contacting me sooner about not meeting me. Just an apology for not responding to my email.
If this is how Fat runs its business, I can’t imagine being a tenant at one of their properties. It must be a nightmare.

I moved to Houston for grad school. I didn’t have the money to fly down before hand to look at apartments so I had to go at it «site unseen».
I found what looked like a really cute studio in Montrose that Fat Property had listed. The photos showed an updated apartment that was very clean with updated appliances. I contacted them and was assured that this would be the apartment I’d be moving into. After 4 days on the road with a packed U-​haul I showed up to the apartments. First, the neighbors were a bit odd and unfriendly, but I didn’t mind so much because I was so excited about my cute new apartment. When the manager let me in I saw chaos. The apartment was not clean, had old broken appliances (the fridge was actively leaking water into the apartment), had holes in the walls, and cockroaches alive and dead throughout the apartment (the sink was full of them!).
I reluctantly moved my stuff in as I had no where else to go. Then that evening I was physically accosted by a friend of a tenant there. I took my cats and went to a hotel, then moved out the next day. The manager for Fat Property treated me very kindly, however the owner called me crazy for not wanting the infested disgusting apartment.
After some research, and seeing more Fat Property signs around town, I’ve come to realize that they buy up old run down apartment buildings (the one I moved into used to be a pay-​by-​the-​hour motel), slap up some paint, then raise the rent.
I would never ever suggest renting from these folks and if you are going to make sure to physically see the apartment first.
