Housing Options

What a way to run a business: doesn’t return calls or emails. Don’t even bother to try doing business with them.

In August of 2015, I found myself in need of Corporate housing due to an acquisition I was making in Eugene Oregon. I called many different Craigslist ads (don’t do) and hotels (monopoly pricing) and I was immediately discouraged. So I after I got past all the big dollar ads for hotels I found «Housing Options». My call was answered promptly and Monica immediately made me feel welcome. She understood my needs and I felt she would take care of them immediately. Within 24 hours I had everything I needed and was ready to go. Monica emailed me and said «Grab your bags you’re ready!», It was that smooth. When I walked in everything I needed was right on the kitchen counter as she said. I appreciated how they set the apartment up, very modern and easy to feel right at home. It was my home away from home for sure!
I have read the other reviews; I am not delusional assuming the pricing is accordance to the actual price as If I leased it myself. The difference is placement; it has been first class as it gets in Eugen Oregon.
So after my acquisition was finished, I had the option of moving into the limited inventory and high priced homes of the Eugene Area. I chose to personally go with Housing Options and now lease from them directly as non corp customer. Monica and her team handle everything for me, I make one payment and its all-​inclusive per say and I love it! If I have any issues and yes, they happen because we are very human… her team gets it handled! One text or call, not fill out forms and wait. This is one of the best ways for professionals like us to beat the Eugene housing game! So a HUGE thank you to you and your team Monica, great job in making us feel right at home and giving us another «Housing Option»!

We sold our house and rented from Monica starting late January. Apartment was ready on moving day with all furniture and keys. We have enjoyed our stay. Rent is reasonable especially when you include utilities and furniture. Monica responds quickly to any questions — usually the same day. We would rent from Monica again if the need arises.

DO NOT RENT FROM MONICA LAVER WHO IS ASSOCIATED WITH HOUSING OPTIONS!!!
if there are any companies or individuals that need to have someone relocate to Eugene, OR, do not rent from her. Monica Laver has a petulant borderline personality. I have never, ever had a landlord, manager act this way! I will tell you!
My company found a condo (owned by Monica) for me to move in from CA since I was working in Eugene, OR. Moved in Nov 6, 2015. Monica would not give me a key for the condo’s mailbox. I asked nicely multiple times. My company got involved but still she would not produce a key.
I was ordering presents for friends and families for Christmas and could not send them out to them. I could not receive any mail, packages for Christmas. MOVED OUT NEW YEAR’S EVE DAY!
There was a fireplace at the condo, but no fireplace tools-​so I bought a 5-​piece fireplace tools. She stated she would reimburse me for buying the fireplace tools (stoker, brush, etc). After my company broke the lease, MONICA still will not reimburse me through my company for me. Someone in the company stated, «I will reimburse you so I will not have to deal with her».
The post office crew in Eugene, OR knew about her which was negative, and The officers of the Condo association had negative comments about her!
I AM WARNING YOU! DO NOT RENT FROM HOUSING OPTIONS. I moved to Heron Club and ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX!

Wish I could update this to 0 stars. Monica (or someone from her company? who knows, they all use the same aol address…) sent me a couple emails on Christmas Eve threatening to «take legal action» or say negative things about my own character (???) if this review wasn’t removed. Ha! Apparently posting a negative review is illegal now? My review stands, and then some. I would strongly recommend against giving this company your business.

Monica was difficult to get ahold of. There was a lot of miscommunication. We had requested a 2 bedroom furnished apartment and when we moved in only half actually had furniture. My family who helped move us from out of state had no bed to sleep in. Very disappointed and the last thing you want to deal with after traveling for days.
Update 12÷23÷15: they did get us an apartment quickly and we appreciated that. I updated this after getting an email threatening legal action for my review, but not because I said anything slanderous.

Don’t be fooled by first impressions. The owner is dishonest in communications. I paid 1800 month for a cheap apt I could have rented for a third of the price. I was shown an apt with nice furniture but mine had cheap furniture bought at Walmart. The Internet rarely worked. There were drug dealers, fights in the parking lot at 2am, shouting and pounding on walls, the guy next store had the TV at full volumn most nights. Yet it was billed as an upscale luxury apt. The worst experience I have ever had… you have been forewarned. I would find another company. You cannot trust this one.
