From one month to the other, monthly “services fees” (on top of rent, water, gas, electricity, garbage) went from $99 to $175, without any announcements (my bad I signed a contract that specified they could do that, but learn from my mistake please). We are four roommates, thus they now get $700 in “services fees” for our apartment only. They cover the TV, WiFi, monthly cleaning service (cleaners only clean common spaces), and maintenance services (I’ve been waiting to get a maintenance service since I moved in last August - it’s February). This is not inflation; it’s a scam. Please don’t fall for it; if there aren’t any apartments elsewhere, do wait that extra weeks in an AirBnb, it’s still wort it.

Unethical and shady

If you had asked me my experience with bungalow a month ago, it would’ve been mainly positive. I’ve had a fairly good experience with them so far, maintenance has been lovely and they are pretty responsive. They’ve recently done something that is super taboo in my opinion and that is raising my rent (indirectly through their service fees which is part of one of the shady clauses they make you sign when you lease with them) by almost 10% in the middle of my lease. I’ve reached out to try and work something out and they simply point back to the small print clause that I legally signed and am obligated to. I want to get the word out, their rents are already slightly more than market rate, but please take into consideration that they can add whatever amount of service fees they feel like at any point in your lease which is extremely shady and disgusting behavior. I will not be re-leasing to say the least.

Bungalow has the worst maintenance management. If you put a work order, they ask some third party to handle that, and never verify using their own team whether the work is legit or has been done. This is so bad because in my case, I'd put 3 or 4 work orders since I'd moved in, and none of them were completed. But the thrid party management would tell the bungalow that it's completed, etc, etc. They take 35+ days to show up. P.S THEY DON'T CARE AT ALL. They only want you to pay rent, and when the time comes to fix it, it's an infinite loophole for the tenant.

I've rented with Bungalow for a year. I have nothing good to say. Frequent rent increases, atrocious follow-through on maintenance requests, lack of charge visibility, poor payment interface, zero customer service. Cheap price, cheap service, horrible experience.

On February 3rd 2023 Bungalow allowed contractors to enter into my bedroom and residence where they were instructed to throw away my personal items and start doing work on my room before my lease end date was up on February 5th. Not only did they jeopardize my safety, but they illegally entered the home. The contractors also threw out some of my items. I called the police thankfully and I will be taking bungalow to landlord tenant court. I am now also not sure if I will get my deposit back because the contractors began working on my room and painting up the walls during the last two days of my lease agreement.

Scam company. Moved into a bedbug infested house, they didn't lift a finger to help, finally the landlady ended up paying for it. Didn't get compensated for the month I had to live elsewhere. Ever since we have been overcharged: they have lied to me about my lease, lied to me about informational emails they didn't send me about constant price increase, and boosted my rent by over 500 in the space of 6 months. It is impossible to reach a human being that cares within a reasonable timeframe, so if your issue concerns billing, don't you worry that they'll add on late fees even though they took weeks to respond! From the bottom of my hard, Bungalow is a middleman company that should not exist. they steal value from renters and homeowners alike while providing absolutely no service beyond a $150 pp per month "cleaning fee" that is not optional. Even the group of young men I lived with cleaned better than them. By the way Bungalow, if you see this, fix my rent balance and make sure it doesn't become a problem again and I'll delete. But I doubt you care

DO NOT MOVE TO ANY BUNGALOW!!! I repeat do not move to any of their apartments!! Biggest scam I've seen. If you care about your mental health, and quality of life do yourself a favor and take my comment very very seriously.
