I am writing in the hopes that his review will help someone looking for an apartment in the Greater Porland Area. I started looking for an apartment through Avesta in October 2019. I was looking for a 2-3 bedrooms apartment to share with my sister. They called us end of January and informed us thay they had an apartment in Munjoy hill (Munjoy Commons) available for February move in. We visited the apartment, did all the routine process, we even went as far as calling to ask who and where to send the secure deposit. We were then told that the apartment was given to someone else, mind you my sister had a newborn then. We went to complain in person and they told us that the lady in charge of our case was fired therefore we were given someone else to work with our case. This person calls us a couple months later to inform us that there is an available apartment near Whole foods, we send an application only for the person to disappear on us again. By disappear I mean he does not pick up the phone nor answer emails. We call the office again only to be told that he is on a PTO from which he never came back from. Forward to October 2020, they assign us someone else who basically tell us that we are #2 on the company s priority list but we don t get the apartment that was available because apparently the people that were #1 on the list took it. It s a company that tells lies unbothered. Very lazy with multiple excuses to not do their job.
Also did I mention the VERY RUDE receptionist. She answers calls like she s not in the mood to do her job. She is only nice when you mention that you ll complain to her boss.
I gave them a 1 star because there was no 0 star option. After a year of trying at Avesta we applied elsewhere a got an apartment in 2 weeks. Don t waste your time with them.
