Honestly have had nothing but problems. From not being able to take off payment options after they expire. A new card wasn't accepted since it was already an option because it was close to other options. ect. I say if you don't need to use it then don't, and go somewhere else

★★★★ Painis Coming 5/1/2026 v26.4.0
I just made a rent payment and it still shows I owe the full amount so I tried to make it again and it said I already made one attempt so that's pretty messed up it better not go through if I go write a check

★★★★ Theresa Sanders 5/1/2026
The new update won't even let me sign in to my profile, even after using the one time called , they send you
★★★★ Mason Henderson 4/30/2026 v26.4.0
The apps UI is very dated and lacks useful features like being able to refer back to past months statements in a downloadable form. it's limited, clunky, ugly, and frustrating. NOT A FAN.
★★★★ Bucky Jungers 4/30/2026 v26.4.0
doesn't let you just use a password and insists on sending you a "one time code" because it's "safer and faster". it definitely isn't faster, and I don't really care if someone steals my account and pays my rent. oh no. how horrible.
★★★★ Satish Parthan 4/28/2026 v26.4.0
Not a user friendlty app
★★★★ Shirley Davis 4/28/2026
Still don’t understand
★★★★ Sharon Smith 4/27/2026 v26.4.0
horrible
★★★★ Julie carter 4/25/2026 v26.4.0
I don't like this app. I use this app to pay apartment rent and call for maintenance. I hardly used this app but when you use it again it breaks. keeps telling me my log in info is wrong (even though I have it written down) but my info is correct because I recently had to make a new password again from last month saying my log in info is wrong. Plus my email "is never on file" because I don't get the email for help and I end up having to go in person to the staff and the desk.
★★★★ Bruce 4/23/2026
Poorly designed App, Which raises concern on how poorly the security measures are set up protecting personal information, and location. Deleted it.
★★★★ sunny johns 4/23/2026 v26.2.2
app hasn't worked in 5 months, can't log in
★★★★ denise hall 4/23/2026 v26.2.2
can't request maintenance request
★★★★ Jackie Black 4/21/2026 v26.2.2
unable to log in.
★★★★ Susan Holiday 4/14/2026 v25.12.1
I don't know what it is, and don't use it on my phone.
★★★★★ Nita Tisdale 5/5/2026 v26.4.0
Needs to text instead of having to use email to pay bill. Very expensive fees since Metro Storage sold to Mini Mall.
★★★★★ Phil Deeds 5/1/2026 v26.4.0
I've had the same banking infor for years. The app told me today, "Your bank isn't supported". I got a payment through, but never got an email confirmation.
★★★★★ MatthewJay 4/26/2026 v26.4.0
Since making the app harder to log into with otp takes it down to two stars. Why can't I just log in with my fingerprint anymore? Change it back please. I'm tired of having to try 4 or 5 codes to get in now...
★★★★★ Arthur Barnette 4/21/2026 v26.2.2
A $3.95 service fee on an $11 payment is just ridiculous and greedy.
