The worst experience of my life living under their properties. I was placed into their properties through Western Illinois University. I showed up and had two roommates. After their system crashed and nobody in their properties was charged rent and utilities. I received a charge in my account that showed up randomly after months. After discovering what happened. I found out that I was the only one charged in my house. They had no clue two other peopel had keys and were living in the house. These two roomates did not sign a lease. This was years in the making. They had not been to the house to fix

Avoid these crooks! I have never been so frustrated with a company in my life. Their apartments are full of cockroaches and mice and they will do nothing about it. My grandson moved out in May and left the apartment far cleaner than it was when he rented it. We have contacted them numerous times about getting his deposit back and get the run-around every time. It's now been 7 months ! They say they have taken $149.00 off for cleaning and that's a lie! The carpet ( if you want to call it that) hasn't been cleaned in years! We turned them in to the better business bureau and they lied

We have waited over 5 months for our deposit refund! Every time we talk to them, they tell us we are still on their list! Now they tell us it cost them $140.00 to clean the worn out carpet in two small rooms! It was dirty when my Grandson moved in so I doubt if they actually had them cleaned now. They are obviously trying to wear us down so we will just give up. This is what they do. If you don’t believe me, read their reviews before you rent from them!

My daughter rented an apartment on Lafayette Street in Macomb Illinois. STC used a part of the security deposit for expenses. They have failed in returning the balance due to her (after expenses). She moved out in June of 2019. Illinois law requires the return of security deposits within 45 days. I filed a complaint with the City of Macomb. I have called them (STC) many time and asked the owner to return may calls. He has never returned my telephone calls. Extremely poor business practice. Be aware!!!

Never rented from them myself, but we had a viewing for one of their properties. Heather was incredibly rude to us and barely answered any of our questions. She acted like she didn’t want my boyfriend and I there to look at the property. Talked to the current resident who told us to stay away as the property floods and the heat is expensive and inconsistent. We specifically asked heather if flooding or heating was an issue because you could tell it might be, and she told us according to the tenants everything was fine, which is obviously not true. Heather will not disclose anything wrong with

They will not follow state law when it comes to security deposits. (My address had 5 or more units meaning the state laws did indeed apply.) So, they were supposed to have an itemized list, accompanied by a partial refund, sent to my new address within 30 days of moving out OR a full refund within 45 days. They even told me it would be about 45 days when I dropped off my keys and confirmed my new address upon moving out. Alright, cool, I can handle that.
Well, day 45 rolled around, so I decided to contact them to get an update. I received this response, "The refund has been processed, but

This was by far the worst renting experience of my life. I guess I have been lucky to have all professional and caring landlords prior to STC, so this company came as a big shock from the start. We arranged to move in on a weekend and were assured everything would be ready for us. However, when we arrived we found ourselves locked out and no one answered the emergency after-hours phone (and they never do). Once we got inside, we found the place filthy with tons of stains on the carpets and a sticky residue on the hard floors and appliances. Plus, the pilot light hadn't been lit as discussed, so

I rented an apartment on a temporary basis the apartment was trashed carpet had burn holes all over it. Most of the doors at holes in them. The air-conditioning didn't work and they never fixed it and the five months that I was there. When I left I was paying a higher rent due to the fact that it was only temporary. They kept $167 of my deposit for cleaning the carpet. They don't care about their tenants don't care about the money they will not fix things make a lot of promises they don't keep so find better.

This will be my third school year renting from STC and it's been the best renting experience ever. I've never had a problem with them and when a problem/situation does arises, they've been very helpful and understanding. Their renting prices are reasonable and their properties look good. They are wonderful people and I would highly recommend renting from them.

0 stars should be an option. Poor response to complaints about the condition of the property. Cockroaches. Kitchen cabinets that leak when it rains. Mold in the bathrooms. Stained and sticky carpet. Decrepit front porch. Refrigerator went out twice (no reimbursement for wasted food). Want to retain your security deposit? Yeah, think again. Slum lords, crooks. They take advantage of college students. Run. Run away fast.

STC Investments is THE WORST company in Macomb to rent from. Heather is somewhat helpful but Rob is a joke. We have had a bat, maggot, and fly problem in our house which received no attention even after we called the office multiple times. They simply do not care and all they want is your money. They overcharged us for rent for absolutely no reason and have no explanation why. They told us in the summer of 2014 that they were going to complete the bathroom in the basement before the school year started. Today is June 13th, 2015 and it's still not done....AT ALL COSTS please avoid this company

If I could rate this company negative stars, I would. Slum lords is a good word for them. The company is so unorganized it is simply ridiculous. The DO NOT take care of any of their properties (Example: our brick porch collapsed the first week of school. Couple days later, they sent someone over to patch it up. Not safe for anyone before the collapse OR after the collapse). I understand it is a college town, but they literally do the bare minimum to make a house livable. For example, if a door has a crack or a hole in it, they will simply paint over it (I speak from experience, as that is

Do NOT rent from STC. The staff is rude, unfriendly and no help at all in an emergency. We have had water in our apartment three times now with a major flood once. Every single time it has taken me hours to contact anyone on the emergency line. The first time it happened they did not even call us back they simply sent my husband a text message which I found extremely unprofessional. On another occasion my husband locked himself out of the house and again had no luck getting anyone on the phone. He did not even get a return phone call and ended up breaking into our apartment! Avoid STC at all costs

STAY AWAY FROM THESE SLUM LORDS!
Simply put, this company is in the business of taking your money. I rented in Macomb for 3 years, once with these folks, and will testify to this again and again. I've seen it done to every person I know that's leased a property through them.
No matter the amount of care you take of your property, you WILL end up losing your security deposit and owing 2-3 times that ON TOP of it. They patch up old properties with nothing more than a fresh coat of paint and call it a day.
Let this company go under and do not rent from them. Anyone in the business of taking
