This review reflects my experience with City Vibes Developments, a rental company earning a zero-star rating from me.

For a year and five months, we leased their property in Skyview. Regrettably, it was far from a pleasant experience; dealing with this company proved to be more trouble than it was worth. Much of their effort seemed focused on presenting an appealing exterior to lure potential renters rather than ensuring a satisfactory living experience.

Here are some of the issues we encountered during our stay:

We weren't given a tour of the apartment until the day we were set to move in, coinciding with the commencement of our lease.

The kitchen walls and ceilings were dirty upon our arrival.

The room's carpets were in a terrible state, marred by cigarette burns.

Paint patches were evident in the closet, one of the bathrooms, and one of the rooms.

The refrigerator remained non-functional for the initial five days of our stay.

The laundry machine was bad, It took five months before a replacement for the malfunctioning laundry machine was provided. The refurbished replacement was even worse than the initially reported faulty unit.
Despite leaving the apartment better than what was given to us, we were unjustly charged $350 for repainting. City Vibes Developments seems to want you to rent and pay them, but you don't live in the apartment, so it could be rented out immediately without them doing anything on it before passing it to the next renter. It's disappointing that our security deposit was the sole target of their scrutiny.
Before renting from City Vibes, I had heard mixed reviews, but I always give every situation a fair chance. However, my experience confirms the negative reports about this company. I strongly advise steering clear of both the company and their properties. It's disheartening to witness a company take advantage of tenants, and I believe such practices shouldn't persist unchecked in the market.
