Mr Jackson
My God where do I begin First Key is a disgrace on how they denied me and said my Document's were false. From My ID to My Passport to both of my Bank statements which I gave them 6mos of consistent deposits and all my business info from the sectary of state docs. and my PO BOX info and address of residents. I did respond to email and did reach out to a lawyer. NO one calls back so beware of this company.

How did you pay your deposit and rent.Im trying to see if I'm actually working with first key or a scammer

My experience with first key
I love this company! I have been living in my 2 car garage,4 bedroom, pool home now for over 2 years. I love my home, no matter what goes wrong from my pool pump leaking, my water heater exploding, the garbage disposal breaking/leaking...every issue was resolved timely and professionally. From placing the call directly or from the portal it is handled promptly and followed up immediately. I feel like a member of this family, and I am sure if you join in and rent a property you will feel the family warmth and heartfelt caring immediately. My name is Larr T. and I live in Clermont Florida, and I am looking forward to renewing my lease again this coming April 2022.

Total incompetency, uncaring
I've lived in a 1st key home since Aug. 2021. When I got here, the AC didn't work, and it was a whopping 100 degrees and 100 % humidity. Didn't get any help for about a week to fix/repair AC. I was homeless. It's been a nightmare ever since. I have no heat today, no one responded, and no heating company showed up and temps are going into the 30's tonight. For your own safety, peace of mind…never, ever, ever rent from First Key homes. If I could give a -10 stars, I would.

My son and daughter-in-law have been trying to get broken garage doors fixed for a month. They have called everyday and are promised someone would call back later in the day. Never happens. There are numerous BBB complaints on this company. My daughter-in-law is going to file a complaint with them as well. Maybe that will help.

I should NOT have moved to a FirstKey house....
I moved from Miami to central Florida with my husband and oldest son, my rent, at the signing of the lease was $1300, we were not in the house not even a year and we were told that we need to sign a new lease or leave the premises, not only that, we had to agree to a now $1555 new lease, and it was established to them that we are on a fixed income as I am on disability, they did not care, their reasoning for the high increase of the rent from $1300 to $1555 was due to the market value of the area, and that they had to compete with the prices for the other houses in the area. We also was not told that the house that we rent was an HOA (Home owners Association), which we didn't know of until we started receiving fines for things that we had no idea that were issues for the HOA. And now we have a bigger issue, our light bill is at over $1000, yes one thousand dollars, and we are trying to get some answers and we can not get anyone on the phone, the property manager George (Alex) Gordon will not and have not returned any of my calls that myself and my husband has made to him, we even took an hour drive to their offices to be met with a letter on the door saying that as of march 2020 they are no longer in the office facility and the numbers that were left on the door are the same numbers that they are not answering from. So me and my family is at a lost, because we don't know what else to do. Me and my family wants to leave, we don't like it here anymore, so we are between a rock and a hard place. And we had to commit ourselves to a 2 yr lease, or else we are going to have major increases every year. We need answers!

Inconsiderate neighbors
I own my property, the house next door is a rental with large trees. Their trees have done damage to my house roof, garage and vehicles several times over the years and everytime the cost to replace has come out of my pocket. FirstKey refused to do anything. I can't even get them to answer my emails. I am about ready to go to the States Attorney General. If they treat their neighbors this bac, I can only imagine how bac they treat their clients.

I live next to a home rented out by first key. I see a lot of ppl were denied but they approved the WORST neighbors possible. In my suburban neighborhood these neighbors party on weekdays, have motorcycle gang ride up and down the street revving, cars parked all the way down the street when they have one of their many parties and drive through my grass. Im pretty sure any one of you would have been better.

The Fall of FirstKey Homes
Very unprofessional staff from top to bottom. Doesn't work well with clients and/or anyone in the industry. No matter how desperate your living situation do not make matters worse by doing any kind of business with FirstKey.

Application fee when the property was already rented
First key, let me submit and pay the application fees, although the property was already rented

Still no oven
It's been over 2 months and we still have no oven. As bad as this issue is, it is NOT the only we've had since our almost 5 months of being in this home. Ineffective communication, horrible experience and poor customer service. No one keeps their word, unless you contact them everyday. I'm just going to review and review and talk to anyone who will listen about this experience. Rent is still paid on time...THEY DO NOT CARE. They want to charge over $5000 to get out of lease due to them not honoring their part of the lease. All I know is I am publicly stating that I want know issues getting my security deposit back for this overpriced, unkept house.

Hey we're going to sued this company if u interested I see there's a lot of bad reviews and complaints let me know I'll give u my information

DO NOT RENT FROM THESE SLUMLORDS
I have been living in a FirstKey owned home in Central Florida for the last 5 years with my brother and my 80 year old mother. I have not had a pleasant exchange with these people yet. They raise the rent every year when the lease is up. It was $900/month when we moved in and now, 5 years later it's $1125/month. They have done absolutely nothing to deserve increased rent. They will flatly refuse to make any repair that costs them more than a few dollars and try to blame us for everything they can. For the last 2 months, in the dead of Florida summer, the air conditioning hasn't worked and they have done nothing to fix it. The A/C guys that came to look at the problem said that everyone says the same thing about them, "They suck." When we moved in here at $900 it had a fireplace(which 3 years ago we were told not to use because it might set the roof on fire), a privacy fence around the back yard(falling down now rotten in several places), working A/C(not so much right now because the system is 20 years old and uses outdated refrigerant you cannot get anymore), a sliding glass door that you could use(now it's fogged up between the double panes so you can't see through it and the wheel is broken so it doesn't roll), the house was visibly clean and fairly fresh looking due to a recent coat of pain inside(little did we know the walls were infested with German cockroaches which are now in ALL of my TVs, appliances, computers and furniture). They refuse to do anything about any of these things. Yet they still want to increase the rent again this year. Do not give these s[censored] your money. I only gave them a one-star rating because there is no negative rating option on this review site.

First Key Homes doesn't pay the water bill
First Key Homes is the account holder for the water and sewer bill. This is required in the lease agreement.

In 2019 the water was shut off due to non payment.

This morning our water was again shut off due to nonpayment.

In 2019 we were able to get the issue resolved in a day. Today no one is answering the phones at any of the numbers we have called. Some numbers state that the offices are closed, while one number said there were 112 callers on the line before me.

I actually got a call back from someone regarding another issue and they transferred me to resident services who put in a ticket with the utilities coordinator. I am told they have 24 hours to look into the issue.

In the meantime, our house has no water with two adults working from home and children in remote learning.

The reason why the water bill is not being paid is because there's still in your money and doing god-knows-what with the money and also leaving you in debt you need to create an account with resident portal not first key homes where you look for the homes and have the houses saved on your profile or the mobile app you won't be able to see anything I just went through this with this s[censored] company I am planning to get an attorney to litigate with firstkey homes. They are stealing money they've been stealing money on the card that I had stored on the mobile app they've been stealing for 10 months I caught them so money that I will be paying towards water sewer and trash and utilities they don't barely pay anything didn't leave me with this fictitious and discrepancies on my accounts as if I was not making any payments and they were taking my money all this time I made a police report I am going to finish them off

The reason they're not paying the waters because you're taking your money the account coordinator is stealing money you guys need to look into your accounts that says resident portal not first Keys homes or the mobile app you're not going to see anything at all on there. Because I'm going to the same thing and I'm going to get like an attorney for litigation they've been stealing money out of my account for 10 months not making payments towards nothing they got this fake third party vendor which is Yes Energy billing you and they're literally taking the money because the money is not going to Yes Energy no money is going to them I would highly advise you track any card that you have on file with these people they are big deal if they are still in the money not making any payments and leave you with the debt on your back

Rick Maintenance First Key Kearney Mo
Rick went above and beyond for me. We give him a five star rating. Thank you Rick. He was very helpful and knowledgeable . Very professional. He knows his stuff. again thank you Rick

Impossible
I called a rep because I was unable to schedule a tour online. He told me to the property I am interested in is available and to schedule a tour through Rently. I got to add myself to a waitlist. Every single property on the site is "available soon." Unable to schedule anything for weeks. Very disappointing and waste of time. Don't get your hopes up on this site.

You don't want to rent from FirstKey anyway. They suck. They are slumlords and will do nothing but increase your rent every time the lease is up for renewal. They give you notice 60 days before the end of the lease and require 60 days notice of non-renewal or you lose your deposit. Everything they do is a manipulation of every rental law in the book. They will refuse to fix anything that costs money. I have been living in a Florida home owned by these s[censored] for the last 5 years and the AC went out 2 months ago and they still haven't fixed it. Incidentally, it's the middle of summer and my 80 year old mother lives with me, they don't care. I reiterate, DO NOT RENT FROM FirstKey Homes.

Disappointed / lawyering up
I’ve moved into the property a month ago since then our septic tank has backed up on the first week, no one has came to pick up the poop and dirty toilet paper out of our yard. Our water heater has been leaking. We have contacted our property manager and no one has reached back to us. This is our 2nd day without having hot water. The Plumber is saying he has to wait for a approval to replace our water heater and it could take 2 days. We have black mold and a bucket that was hidden under the hot water tank. We our in Covid times this needs to be handled immediately.

Renter Beware!!!
I viewed several homes online, and the one I chose, I begin the application process, but for some reason was not able to upload all requested documents. I called, and emailed them. I finally got a response a few days later, but by that time I decided to stop payment on my deposit. Well, an agent called me and said I was approved. I am not sure how I was approved when I did not upload all requested documents. Anyway, I was sent a lease to sign, and was told to may the deposit within 24 hours. I had never seen the inside of the home. I told the agent I wanted to see the home before I signed the lease and paid a security deposit. Well that did not happen. I called the agent, she had no idea what was going on. I went to the property, there was no lock box, the door lock had been taken off, appeared to be broken and tapped up. Apparently the house was not ready for viewing. I kept calling, but no response. I still see some of the same homes on the market, which makes me wonder are they scamming people. My experience was horrible and First Keys don't ever have to worry about me. They are unprofessional and very unorganized. They deserve a zero rating.

I have dealt with Evan Baker twice now and have to say he is not only extremely personable, he is also very helpful and down to earth. He is professional and honest, the type of guy you can truly trust.

Would not recommend this company
My experience with first key rentals. I moved in on July 2018. I wish I had read the company reviews. Nevertheless, the house was in a convenient location. I took photos upon moving in and everything seemed fine. It was not until I started have maintenance issues that the trouble began. First was damage to the outside fence that took several calls to get taken care of. Next, water leaking through the roof. This never got fixed. They would send someone out to paint over the damage, of course it would leak again, and again.
Finally, sent someone out to check the roof and attic. Lord, let me tell you what they found. How about rodent infestation, wet wood beams that the guy says could be mold. Again, instead of fixing they told him to only paint over it, which never happen and the rodents, I guess are still there because it was not addressed either.
Because of these things, covid and change in income status I chose to terminate my lease early. I gave a 60 day notice and thought that would be acceptable. My mistake. To think humanity would prevail. I asked about the move out inspection and was told no one could meet me due to covid. How ironic, right? Again, I took photos. I left the house in better condition than when I found it minus the rodents.
On January 6th I received a move out statement of charges 3690. The withheld my security deposit which left a balance of 1915. They then charged me 30.98 for damages, some of which were from the water damage they only painted over, that continues to come back.
I spoke with Chis from corporate, who is an a[censored] by the way. He informed me that there is no normal were and tear. So even though the water damage is from there unfixed issue the charge is what it is and only their photos matter.
I would not recommend firskey nor the house located at 2411 quaker landing rd. Although, they did fix the roof. They did not repaint (Chris stated they only have to paint every five years) nor did they fix the attic, mold or rodents.

Waste of time so far
Completely unhappy with this company not even a resident yet and its been almost impossible to view and apply for homes from day one! Couldn't apply for anything for two weeks due to site maintenance and now everything I would have applied for is gone and of course I can never get anybody on the phone!

At this point I refuse to give my money to this company if it is this hard now I can only imagine being locked into a lease. You guys are really trash and Ш wouldn't encourage anyone to rent or purchase from you

Very unhappy with First Key Homes
I will never rent from a rental company again. I never had problems with a single landlord. I have had issues with my hot water heater since I moved in. The pilot light will not stay lit and I have not had hot water for over 5 days. I tried calling and no answer until Tuesday and I have called again after waiting and waiting to check on my work order, no one has been her to fix the issue. I cant do dishes, or bathe it id cold outside and I have no hot water! I am ready to move out.

Very dissatified
I am counting days until I move out I had had floods in the basement bedroom lost everything there, after 4 flooding's they sent someone out to repair, Place was dirty, poorly kept home, toilet continuous running inside of toilet tank had not been changed since house was built they refused to change towel and toilet holders had to complain continuously they fail off the wall before they repaired down stairs shower head took one year to repair. They try not to call you back and they take a long time to make repairs. Would have moved out the pandemic came in and they raised my rent by 100 dollars as I was furloughed and had no work. The hot water tank burst during the night and there was no shut off for the cold water so all the water in the house had to be turned off. The person they finally sent out to repair the tank was not sure what to do took 10 hours repair it and rigged the system up Gas company had to be called out and the gas had to be shut off due to leaks. That's not all the stove in the house was leaking gas again had to be shut off 2-3 days until repair. I will move pandemic or not once this lease is up.

All of them. Anything that says FirstKey Homes on it is to be avoided. They are the absolute worst.

What is the address of the property to avoid?
