They were so amazing and accommodating and truly helped us out from getting out of temporary housing finally and finally have a permanent place to call home. I truly appreciate everything they did for me and my handicapped husband who was having a hard time living with our temporary housing . They went above and beyond I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

If you would like to know really how this company operates look up past years county court dockets. they are full of petty claims going back years of suing clients. they don't make their real money by rent they do it by suing u after.
do research before you rent from them they give clients discounts for good reviews at signing, it PLAGUED me and my husband for years after renting house- in norfolk off tidewater dr.
BEWARE!!! Will Ruin ur credit!!!!

THIS COMPANY NEED NO STARS. I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW TO HELP OTHERS POTENTIAL APPLICANTS. THIS COMPANY TAKE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS FOR ONE APARTMENT WHICH IS INSANE. IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A POTENTIAL APPLICATE WHY KEEP TAKING APPLICATIONS FEE FROM OTHERS WHILE YOU ARE CONSIDERING OTHERS. YOU TRYING TO GET EXTRA MONEY BECAUSE YOU ARE LOSING MONEY BECAUSE NO ONE IS IN THE UNIT. THIS COMPANY SUPPOSED TO BE SECOND CHANCE BUT THATS A LIE. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOU TIME WITH THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY.

If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. I've rented through this company for almost 3 years (out of desperation) each of those years I've had 4 different property managers. My property was built in the 60s (maybe even sooner) & NO ONE has kept up with its routine building maintenance.
My neighbor & I have had to pay OUT OF OUR OWN POCKETS for things that have needed to be done BY GIFFORD or the landlord themselves YEARS PRIOR.
When I moved in initially ..
Washer dryer broke after 1 use, took Gifford WEEKS replace.
The windows were SCREWED, CAULKED shut & duct taped shut, I informed my property manager at the time (Mr. Steve Summerlin, who was later "let go") to which no one came to fix. I had to do it myself.
My AC unit (&bathroom) had BLACK MOLD COVERING it when I moved in. Mr. Summerlin & James from Nightingale Contractors BOTH gaslit me, telling me it was only mildew.
I am Immuno-compromised & severely allergic to mold (black mold the most DUH) I had to go to the doctors for them to tell me I was having a reaction.
They finally replaced my unit with a significantly smaller unit that DIDN'T properly cool the living space.
Roaches were covering the fridge, entire kitchen & to this day they've only had the exterminator come and spray ONCE. I've had roaches since then, even with buying my own traps, sprays, excessively cleaning etc. To no avail. They even tried to get me to pay OUT of pocket for an issue that had been here for over 14 years (roaches and pests) so I eventually BOUGHT AN RV & MOVED THE HELL OUT.
The windows (they have STILL NOT REPLACED AFTER 7 YEARS of being given the ok to replace them) are so old & falling apart from the lack of routine upkeep, dry rotting, water damage & sun damage that they are falling out, breaking from everyday usage; tenants NEED ventilation in this building ( especially given its history of BLACK MOLD, rodent/ pest problems) & no vent hood for the kitchen & making a tenant pay for a window that fell out because of THEIR lack of maintenence is not acceptable.
My ceiling had a leak since I moved in and I've had over 5 different contractors tell me that simply replacing the drywall isn't going to help the underlying structural problem of the issue which is WATER DAMAGE. One of the main wood struts is damaged,leaving a permanent bow in the ceiling. I lived with a MASSIVE hole in the ceiling of my living room for the majority of my lease last year & they took almost the entirety of last years lease to fix it, leaving me almost homeless that entire time as it was not a habitable environment.
Upon my 2nd year of living here the leak was still there after they "fixed" it. 1 contractor actually went ontop of the roof to put down a shield to block & slow it down. STILL LEAKS. I've left that for the next sorry sucker who rents through Gifford.
The power/breaker box is located outside underneath the ROTTING stairs behind a broken door for any passerby to access. Also an EXTREME Firehazard.
Last year I had 2 male electricians randomly show up at my apartment without ANY PRIOR NOTICE (unfortunately was an often occurrence with them); I had to answer the door in my towel (I had to rush to answer the door because I was in the middle of a shower & didn't want them to just let themselves in my apartment, which they have a history of doing.) I have PTSD & am a SA survivor, that situation alone should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED & they're lucky I haven't taken them to court over that alone.
I later called Mr. Summerlin to inform him of the situation & that that was not legal nor was it ok to do. I was met with aggression, gaslighting & yelling again.
Mr. Summerlin has verbally abused me to the point of a breakdown, making me cry hysterically whilst on the phone; yelling at me, arguing with me about how these things have needed to be fixed for so long yet they still haven't done anything to remediate any issues & that I needed to just "get over it."
I could list more. These were just the largest & most important issues.
If you can afford not to live here, DON'T.
