I had a 2 bedroom house in Tampa with Home River Group for a year. Shortly after moving into the home the plumbing completely seized up. No functioning shower, nor toilet. After an inspector came out and dug up the septic tank, they discovered that the owner had previously done a makeshift patch on the tank (With roof shingles!), and it needed an actual permanent repair. (which the owner was not willing to pay for). The toilet and shower did not function for about an entire month. I demanded my money back for the month rent since my pregnant wife and I had no functioning bathroom (why would we pay full rent for an uninhabitable home). They fought with me and only ended up returning a measly $100 for the month. At the end of the lease, they took $200 out of my deposit for two blinds that were outdated and already in terrible shape when I moved into the place. They were extremely cheap, small roll down blinds that couldn't cost more than 15 to 20 dollars. Home River Group is just like most corporations, money hungry and indifferent to the needs of the customers. Unfortunately, as renters we have less and less power over our housing options. If you go with Home River, I hope your experience is better than ours!
