This is my worst experience ever renting a place in my life. They have individuals working under them who are absolute thieves, and who try to exploit people for their own gain. Their service charges are baseless and they fraudulently increase the utility fees, including the water consumption with no clarification on their end. Then, when you move out, without following up with you or without your knowledge they send your charges to the collections department. This is totally ridiculous. Will not refer them to any other person. They want you to be their Sugar daddy.

One of my friends, Saurabh Tipre, has faced significant challenges with Bungalow. He initially signed a lease with Homeroom, which was later acquired by Bungalow. During his time with Homeroom, he experienced numerous issues, including alleged fraudulent practices such as inflated utility costs and unjustified charges. Additionally, the property manager, Sandra Gomez Alvarez, and the Head of Customer Service, Pedro Coss y Leon Mares, reportedly failed to honor their commitments and disregarded the lease terms. Following Bungalow’s acquisition of Homeroom, Saurabh encountered further issues during his move-out process, including excessive billing. Such practices are unacceptable, and prospective tenants are advised to carefully evaluate their options before committing. Alternatively, Common is an excellent co-living option that comes highly recommended.

SCAM. This company is pure EVIL. You wake up and see a 20% rent increase. They also charge 200$ monthly fee that is not mentioned in ads and they bill for utilities 4 times more then the actual cost, they add 80% margin to the original utility bills and charge you 40-60$ “overage fee” for with same 80% margin on top for almost every month. Maintenance requires are ignored for WEEKS, no matter how critical they are, WORST experience ever. Sales from India and other cheap countries VERY PUSHY, will try to scam you into signing the lease. In the lease you give away all your freedom, they can increase the rent, fees, utilities anytime they want, effective immediately and can impose additional fees. Basically they charge 85-90% of the cost of studio apartments for a tiny kid room in small house packed with 6 roommates. What a SCAM. There was a class action lawsuit from tenants and homeowners, they scamming everybody. STAY AWAY, 10-15% savings compared to studio ARE NOT WORTH IT, the experience is a nightmare.

Great, professional, to the point, clear.

My friend, Saurabh Tipre, faced a distressing ordeal during his move-out process. He was charged an exorbitant amount and his security deposit was never refunded. Furthermore, the customer support representative, Mario E., has been treating him poorly and refuses to acknowledge their errors.

The worst property management company I have ever seen. They have no direct line of communication and will ignore and gaslight everyone, especially after they overcharge you. They charge frivolous service fees that are inconsistent even within households. Their platform is only available on iPhone (because Google Play says their security is sub-par). And they just evicted our house-including someone who just moved in last month-so they could renovate and 2.5x the rent. RUN if you see them on a listing. (They also broke city code by putting 7 people in a house listed as a single-family residence.)

What a hack of place you call bungalow. I have not seen any disgusting place then that which you call place to live. Very unhealthy and unhygienic place to live. Bathrooms are dirty, carpet is full of stains and dirty, doors are dirty and refrigerator is full of fingerprints…most disgusting place to be called bungalow.

The quick turnaround was great. I still think I should get 3-4 days to make decisions because 48 hours is too rushed to make such big decisions.
