Bell was initially responsive when my friends were moving to the East Coast and they wanted to sublet to my son. I had to cosign, which I expected, but after that he couldn't get them to respond at all and when I finally called they told me they couldn't talk to me because I wasn't on the lease. They didn't get him a parking pass and they towed his car and he had to argue with them for weeks to get reimbursed for the towing since the parking pass was their responsibility. The apartment had black mold in the ceiling (top floor) and when he mentioned it to them he got no response

Please do NOT rent from bell real estate!
i have been waiting to post a review for dear ol' bell real estate ever since i moved into their apartments across from the safeway on 18th over a year ago. my roommate and i had moved all of our furniture and belongings into the apartment complex and it wasn't until we had literally moved completely in when bell realty told us that they haven't cleaned the carpets. the carpet cleaning company that bell told us to call said that they never received a cleaning request for my apartment. so my roommate and i moved as much stuff as we could

If I could give negative stars I would. This company is a SCAM. They WILL take advantage of you if you are a college student. My boyfriend and I moved in September of 2019 and had to pay double deposit because we didn't have a co-signer, which was understandable. What wasn't understandable, was we were only given $500 of the $1650 deposit they had taken from us. Brian Kester is the worst manager ever, he takes forever to reply and is as immature/rude as a high school student. When we got approved for the apartment they said we could move in one day then kept pushing it back weeks and

I've rented from Bell for 13 years. The first years were good. They've always taken care of the items, which have been very few, that I needed fixed. In the last 3 years though, they have increased my rent nearly $350.00 per month in total! I am paying TWICE what I was when I moved in. This last increase amounting over $100 per month was implemented during the Pandemic, when so many people are struggling to make ends meet. This is so shady of them! I've very disappointed in how Bell has chosen to treat it's long term renters in their effort to drive us out so they can charge

The offices of Bell Real Estate Inc. could not have been more caring and professional. MacKenzie answered all of my emails and questions in a timely manner. MacKenzie also helped me to navigate getting the perfect apartment for my daughter who attends the UO. I would highly recommend Bell Real Estate Inc. The receptionist was friendly and professional. Renting an apartment, especially during COVID-19, can be very stressful but MacKenzie made it easy.

As with the majority of property management companies in town, Bell is subpar. We were new to the area and told them as much - we decided on a house practically next door to the paper mill but we didn't know it at the time - and they never told us. Only after making the move from out of state did we come realize our mistake. Our health has since suffered. Later we alerted them to black mold downstairs - instead of finding the root cause they slapped some paint on top of it. Getting other maintenance was hit or miss and by the time we left they kept nearly half of our deposit because we failed

If you're wondering if you should rent from Bell Real Estate, DONT! If you do end up renting from them plan on not getting much of your deposit back or even any. I really wish I could give zero stars. The photos below were the disgusting carpet and mold that came with my apartment (not including the mold on the walls). We got the carpet cleaned and cleaned every inch of our apt that they insisted and still lost half of our deposit for "not cleaning" certain things. They are scammers and that's that. Don't do it.

So I have dealt with many a realtor in my life but this company takes the cake for the worst. They don't return phone calls, most of their tenants hate them, because they do as little as possible and didn't bother to notify us that a place we were looking at was already taken even though we called them to let them know we were on the way to the property to view it. They ask for the fees before you ever get to see the property and additionally take more than one application for the same property. I highly recommend that you stay far away from this company unless you have no other choice

If I could give this "business" less than one star I would. I was absolutely floored by how inexperienced, ill-prepared, rude, and disorganized the employees were.
They led my friends and I on an over 2 and a half week application process where the person handling process had absolutely no clue how to do her job (Anya).
Many times I would try to get into contact with Anya or anyone else at Bell who could try to answer questions but was always shutdown in one way or another.
Bell has this ridiculous policy where every tenant individually would have to make 3x the amount of rent in

This is the worst company to rent from. I had my place PROFESSIONALLY cleaned and they turned around and charged me 180 for cleaning. They refuse to do a walk through so you can fix anything to get your deposit back, and are extremely shady about your deposit and their "fixes". I paid 1000 to a very old dingy place for unjustified fixes and "repairs". Do not rent from this place. Seriously.

I've never rented from Bell, and I don't think I ever will.
I want to be clear, this complaint is directed towards Michelle.
I was supposed to get a tour of a complex. I waited 30 minutes past time an nobody ever showed up. I called the office, and she picked up, saying that I missed the tour and that she knew that the other staff was there giving it. I was shocked! I was waiting where I was told to wait! She continued to blame me for missing it, and then asked if I would like to reschedule. I said I was a bit put off. She said "Ok thank you goodbye" and hung up on me!

Bell Real Estate doesn't care about your happiness.
I've rented from Bell a few times, but the last time I learned my lesson.
Cons:
- Maintenance never comes when promised.
- If maintenance requests receive a response, it is in the form of a patch job rather than any sort of actual repair.
- They will not fix anything that was damaged or disgusting before you signed a contract, then they'll charge you for it when you move out. I was charged an additional $260 after they kept my cleaning deposit AFTER I CLEANED EVERYTHING, but I'm not bitter.
- The grounds are not maintained

Do not rent with this company. I've lived in one of their apartments for 3 years now, never missed rent, and now they are serving me with a Termination of Tenancy without Cause (which I literally cannot believe is legal in the state of Oregon, call your senators) while I'm 9 months pregnant. My husband and I have both talked to them about the situation as I'm supposed to give birth any time in the next couple weeks and then have been advised to have 3 weeks of bed rest, but they have basically told us that the conversation is over and they do not need to give us a reason why they

At the time of writing this I am beyond infuriated. My roommate and I are being price gouged for unnecessary cleaning and painting at $300+. And this is after the fact we made sure we cleaned everything and painted over any chips we caused. We are not going to take this sitting down. Do not live here and if you do currently rent out a property take photos of everything when you leave.

I left a voicemail and email about a rental property. They were returned promptly, asking me to turn in an application.
I went in on my lunch break to pick up an application and current property listing.
I found both easily and went to find a pen. The receptionist came out of the back and asked, "How can I help you?" I explained what I was hoping for. She tsk'd and listed off several things she would need to take my application, including a $50 application fee and full application per adult.
The application lists a screening fee and no application fees are mentioned or posted
