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.

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.

I rented a single room in a shared apartment in Fort Worth, Texas. During my stay, I encountered fraudulent billing practices involving the water bill, which was under the name of Bells Locations LLC. The bill for one month amounted to an unusually high $373 for four occupants. I have evidence supporting this discrepancy. Despite reaching out to the management team for resolution, they refused to address the issue, prompting me to report the matter. Following my report, the management retaliated by initiating eviction proceedings without providing the legally required 30-day notice. After vacating the property, I just discovered that my account had been sent to collections without prior notification of any outstanding balance. This behavior is both unethical and a breach of their lease agreement. Their actions demonstrate a lack of professionalism and fairness. They are duping innocent people. Also, they have not returned my security deposit.

I am a homeowner who leased my property to Bungalow. What a nightmare. AVOID this company at all cost, if you are a tenant or a homeowner. I could go on forever about it. Please note: former tenants and homeowners are trying to file a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against Bungalow. Go on Red dit and do a search in landlords, tenant and property owner groups, and you will find the people involved if you want to get involved too. This company is doomed. The positive reviews on trustpilot are laughable. Hasn't anyone noticed how they come in small bunches all around the same date? They are obviously fake.

Buyer Beware. I invested in property and had it leased through Homeroom which eventually merged with Bunglow. Their actual performance is much worse than the numbers they will share. Their business model doesn't work.

Someone needs to google the bungalow leadership and CEO and file a case against them and force them to come to the court. Ivy and David are SCAMMERS. They will chat with you, and call you before you sign the lease, but good luck hearing back from them once you sign the lease. I rented a shared space from them, and my lease started on Feb 22, 2025. I flew here from Houston 5 days later on 27th Feb to move in. but i was shocked to see the rundown apartment. The room had someones stuff in it, the carpet was dirty with spots and dirt marks, the door lock was broken, and the laundry room door was missing(half was missing and half was there). So I LEFT AND NEVER CAME BACK, never spent more than an hour there. I tried to reach the same people who I was in contact with form bungalow via texts, but they never responded back. I wanted to transfer to new place or get a full refund. Man they see your messages and don't answer the phone, and on top of that they just resolve/close any tickets I create on portal. I still don’t have my place and today I sent them my millionth email telling them that I am leasing an apartment outside of bungalow. I am actually thinking about taking legal action. I have evidence of the apartment condition, the email threads and number of tickets that I have created asking for a transfer or early termination.
