I don't know how they get 4 stars on this site because they get an F from the Better Business Bureau. I don't recommend them to anyone because they don't return phone calls or take complaints seriously. I have never... (more)

With River City Real Estate you get: predatory leasing and towing practices; rent increases without signing a new lease; a $300 "refurbishment fee" taken out of your security deposit; charges for simple... (more)

I'm pretty sure the reviews that are positive on this board are fake, because here is my personal experience from them. They violated the VRLTA with me 4 times. The first time, was when I just moved in. I had no power,... (more)

So I moved into an apartment of theirs, great location, great price, great size. I move in and it isn't all that clean, but not all that dirty either, but whatever right? Yet, when I moved out, I left it in such better... (more)

I do not understand how what this company does is not illegal. I just got my "deposit" back, it was probably more expensive to mail me the check then the money that was in it. LIke previous posts they take out 300 dollars... (more)

River City Real Estate is a poorly run company that has no resident retention because they DO NOT CARE about their residents, in fact the company refers to them as 'tenants' not 'residents'. Yes there are rodents... (more)

I've rented from River City for almost 2 years. The first year I didn't have any problems and to be honest I couldn't see why everyone I talked to hated them. Yeah, the old apartment was a little run down, but I attributed... (more)

I appreciate your honest feedback on River City Rentals. I am moving out of my current place and actually considered living in a River City unit until I read this board. It is amazing that a real company would allow... (more)

I've lived in TWO river city apartments. The first one wasn't *that* bad. Until they painted all the window exteriors and painted it shut. Then came the crazy a** neighbors, the peeping toms, the mugging in the... (more)

River City Real Estate gives itself amazing reviews. They are fakes. Don't believe them. Don't rent from them. You WILL regret it. If you have a problem, they will not listen. (more)
