I am so very disappointed to have to leave this review. It's really rare that I leave a 1 star as I usually have a partial good experience but there was none of that with my case. Please listen to the negative reviews for this place! I wish I had. I was trying to move from multiple states away so I had multiple questions on the process. The office provided shady vague answers at the start but I thought surely I'll get more answers after I apply. I should've listened to my gut and saved $50 tbh. Two days after applying, and not getting notified, I called and was told it'd be another week and a half to even have my application reviewed. Then after approval, I was never called about it despite having made multiple requests to receive a call. Worse, the office brushed me off like I was making it a big deal and just assumed I didn't want the property. That was not the issue!! I wouldn't have applied if I knew they were going to require a cashier's check be received within 24 hours - when have an online payment portal. This is why I asked about the process to begin with. When I did get the approval notification, it was late on a Friday afternoon, the banks were going to close soon. There was no way I was going to get that done. And 24 mailing is expensive. It's been 5 days and I still haven't received a call back... Seems like there's a reason the property I applied for was on the list for 60+ days despite it looking really nice. A shame.

Wanted us to pay 1.5x first months rent to hold the apartment. This was non-refundable and they wouldn't even show us the lease until we forked out the money. I don't want to pay thousands of dollars before I even know what I'm signing.

Glad I as able to get out of there. when you apply take a screen shot of the listing, they might change it on your lease. The listing told me WSG paid but a week after taking my security deposit and giving me the lease they put in..no utilities included and pulled the ad so I could question it! Gave me keys including a community mailbox key (but didn't know what box was mine and they suggested to go and try all 20+ boxes to find it). Couldn't tell me where ANY of the connections were or how anything was supposed to work. When I moved in I was stuck with the utility bill from the previous tenants stay (I moved in on the 10th of the month and at the time Bham charged 2 months at a time). They take NO responsibility for ANYTHING. When I moved out, they deducted from my security deposit for the utility bill which tells me that they KEEP the money for themselves and make the tenant pay the outstanding balance even if it's not theirs. Tried to get the SSC to come pick up my garbage as a single payer (all the other rentals are another mgmt company) what a nightmare! Their solution - throw it in the community dumpster. I had the washer (machine part broken) flood the second floor with water pouring from the light fixtures to the bottom floor. It took 10 days to get the washer repair guy to come and the Mgmnt NEVER came to look to see if there was water damage. They were nice people but just didn't have a clue or care how to manage property. Owners and tenants beware!

Best rental company I have used while living in Bellingham. Renting was a breeze and the payment portal made it super easy to set up auto payments and request maintence. You could even check the status of your request which has not been my experience with other rental companies. I had to break my lease early and they made it a really smooth process with just a simple fee. Received my security deposit refund 15 days after leaving and about 85% of my security deposit after two years of occupancy.
