Hi Emily-

Please contact Richard Waters, 937-245-2264, or richardatexit(at)gmail.com, as he is much more familiar with rentals than I am. Good Luck!

Terri,
I am actually relocating to the Dayton, OH area and I’m interested in renting a 2-3 bedroom rental home. Can you help me find some rental properties? I’m hoping to rent for a couple years and during that time improve my & my boyfriend’s credit, so we can hopefully buy a house in the future. Thank you so much.
-Emily

Hi Nikki-

>we’re trying to save up to buy

That’s a smart decision.

>Overall though, living here isn’t bad. I love the neighborhood, the house is nice

Absolutely agree with you. Huber Heights is a pleasant, quite city with affordable homes- many with wonderful floor plans and low maintanaince construction. Best of luck to you in the future!

Kari - I’m stuck in a Huber Home right now…wish I would have gone with you instead!

Most of what you hear is true. I’ve lived in HH almost all my life. My parents rented from HHR when I was young and advised me against it but like all kids, I didn’t listen. Sadly, 20 years later, they are still running things the same. Too bad we’re a 1 income family now and we can’t afford to leave. (I’m afraid what they will charge us for so we’re trying to save up to buy so they can’t scare off the next landlord!) We have had similar issues with maintenance. We usually try to repair small things ourselves or, if it’s something we can’t fix and they won’t, we’ve called 2-3 times until they finally get tired of complaining and just fix the thing! It’s amazing in this day and age they can’t afford to get cell phones for the maintenance department. Just poor management as we already knew I guess. I’m surprised they haven’t improved because they definitely do not have the business they used to. You can really tell this time of year. Drive around HH and look at all the driveways covered in snow with no tire tracks…those are more than likely empty huber rentals. And they’re everywhere!

Overall though, living here isn’t bad. I love the neighborhood, the house is nice (a little small), not too overpriced, and I can’t complain too much about the rental office. We pay rent early so they leave us alone I suppose. I just know the leaving is the worst part so we dread that!

I agree that Huber Rentals should have a website to offer more information.
I rented a duplex home north of I-70 for almost 2 years and it was a nice home and nice neighborhood.
I never had any problems with the home itself. I left it cleaner than I found it and received little of my deposit back. My advice to those who rent , follow their simple rules and DO NOT make a big ordeal like did cleaning when you vacate because you WILL NOT get back what you think on your deposit!

I completely understand your situation. In a way, home sellers compete with Huber Homes as well. They are the builder and can sometimes sell, or let go, homes for rates that private sellers are sometimes unable to match.

I think people bother with them because it’s very difficult to find information about rentals in the area other than through HHR. It’s a matter of convenience while you are looking, but time spent with a realtor will often give people a better deal in the long run- because they will be dealing with owners who might have more interest in one individual property.

We are a military family trying to rent out our home after we had to move…..sob sob sob. We loved our neighborhood, neighbors and most of all our quiet house. We are now competing with Huber Home Rentals. It is maddening because they have dirty run down houses the same model as ours and theirs rent for MORE plus they are an awful business. Why do people even bother with them? I guess they think bigger is better but trust me, after living in Huber Heights for four years in this case, run the other direction.

Hi Kelly-

Truly sorry to hear about your experience.

This is typically the point where people do what they can to repair their credit, save for a down payment, and buy a home. Renting often simply isn’t worth it.

Best of luck to you.

:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Do not be fooled!!!! These people are ABSOLUTE theives!!!!!! I am like so many WARNING YOU about renteing here!!!! If you really do search it is not really hard to find info about them but any info you find will be negative and I should have been wise enough to listen!!! (I was just too cheap I guess) It is funny because after signing the papers an employee even told me to take pics and mark everything because Huber Home Rentals are jerks!!! AN EMPLOYEE!!!!!! I was so excited to move in, I had found a place with almost enough space and for CHEAP. I moved in and was greeted by an open condom wrapper! I should have turned away then but had already signed the lease! There where MANY times that someone would dump unwanted furniture and carpet on the side of the road and Huber Home Rentals did nothing about it and would not pick it up leaving it for weeks even a month 1 time! The empty bottles of alcohol that litter the streets and even ending up in our bushes! Aside from that it was a semi decent place to live. CONSIDERING you must have insurance to live there which I don’t mind but THANK GOD for the insurance!! There were cars speeding through the neighborhood, vandalizing things EVEN had a can thrown at my car in the middle of the night! Turned in my notice to vacate and this place became HELL! They were very rude and now want to charge for EVERYTHING under the sun! It is ridiculous!!!!! Not to mention that 3 days after that, someone apparently drove a truck right through the back yard and stole my daughter’s 14′ trampoline with enclosure! I had read the horrible reviews and law suits and just wanted to believe it was better than that but have been proven wrong! BELIEVE me the cheap rent is not worth it! Pay the extra $50-$100 for a safe and nice place to live! Do some investigating and BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ!!! MY BIGGEST MISTAKE!!!!!!!!
The next time I will see them is in court…..I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SUE!!! PLEASE do not rent from them!!! I am telling you it is all true, everything you read!!! Eventually it will get out and decent landlords and even companies will be renting these out!!!! CHECK OUT apartmentreviews.net…….here are just a few of the reviews I have found RECENTLY!!!!…………………………….Crooks, Read other reviews and do another search. security deposit thieves. Document everything. ………………………………………………………I live on the bottom floor here. I have 2 kids and it was the middle of summer my air condition went out and it took them 2 months to fix it..! Umm everything leaks no matter how many times they get called out. Appliances suck and are older than my grandmother. Toilets are disgusting not matter how much you clean this place still looks like a dump! Ants all over the place! Called them 3 times to fix my furnace and it still aint fixed right.. I am surprised the dump didnt catch on fire because every wire in the damn thing was burnt to hell and back! Washer leaked through the wall into my childs bedroom and they wouldn’t even replace the carpet. The walls move.. I am just waiting for the wall in my childs bedroom to fall in even after I have called them out to fix the damn thing and still to this day it is not fixed(going on 3 months). They charged $45 for a leak in the bathroom.. Pretty funny I was in there the day before they came out to check for leaks and it was not leaking and even if it was it don’t cost $45 rip offs.. We tried to get out of the apartment into a bungalow and do you know they said it would take 60 days to get one even though they have all of our info but if you came in from the street it takes 1 week? and not only that they were trying to charge us like $150 fee for credit checks and shyt! This place is not kid friendly.. More for older folks.. Animals outback racoons, apossums, cats, ground hogs and whatever else back there..Recently the window in my childs bedroom was coming out.. We had a crack in the bath tub and now my child refuses to take a bath because they put the sloppiest patch job on there.. it looks like a big black glob of What the f in the tub now my child is too scared to get a bath no matter what we use to cover it up.. I hate this place and I am sure you will too!!! ……………………………..The rental office charges a fee for everything and they take advantage of military people. One day late and they charged $50 and then would only accept cash, they will keep your deposit and turn you over to a collection agency for charges that they make up. Don’t rent from these crooks. …………………………..Upon moving in ,I had taken a day off from work to meet the inspector to go over what was broken in the townhome.. he never showed up! All of the appliances are antiquated (harvest gold or avocado green from the 70’s) and when they break, they patch them and repatch then. The servicemen are surly and never repair things properly. I still have a hole in the bathroom from a leak they repaired from 5 years ago. The only reason I am stillhere is that it is the only townhome large enough to accomodate my furniture. My roof caved in on top of my mattress in the upstairs bedroom……. When first hree the area was kept clean now it is looking like the city dump with oldappliances and furniture on the sides of the street…. Time to move.
Don’t rent from these people!!! ……………………………..I would have never rented from Huber Home Rentals had I known how bad there “policies” were. My roof had a masive leak and part of my ceiling came down. I took them over 2 months to fix the problem. I had to threaten to put my rent payment into in escrow account before they came to fix it.

No matter how well you keep the place up you will not get any part of your deposit back………………………………It is a good apartment. However, the rental offices never stay away. They have a fee for everything. And I mean everything. Once you’re committed you see the lease agreement and it is a BEAR but you’re stuck! You cannot inspect the property with electricity or water so you don’t know if something is broken. They then tell you- well you didn’t write it down on the inspection. You broke it. Have a service charge please. If you disagree they will evict you. They have sent notices over 5 bucks………………..There are PLENTY more and these are WORD FOR WORD I COPIED AND PASTED THE REVIEWS!!! BEWARE!!!! Why do you thing they ask your name when you call…..of course (as stated) to control info!!! So they know to tell you the manager or accounting is busy!! Or if you are not a resident to be friendly and nice!! What a joke!! Marge and Wendy have been “busy” for FOUR months and to this day wait on a return call calling every month!!!! Don’t be upset you can’t find contact info…..YOU DON’T WANT IT!!!!!!:mad::evil::mad::evil::mad::evil:

Hi April-

Thanks for stopping by.

I have to admit that your experience does not appear to be unusual. And for the record, I’m not promoting them. People come here looking for them, so I’m trying to help those people out. The folks who have had experience w/ Huber Rentals- you and Bruce for example- are free to leave comments, as long as they are within the blog guidelines.

> the house and neighborhood were pretty good

THAT’s the good news! And that is also a common experience for Huber residents.

At any rate, I’m glad you found my site, hope you will return, and all the best to you!
