Thomas Real Estate

We rented a place off of ocean Blvd south in north myrtle beach. The place is called château manor. Thomas 21 century real estate was the agent that rented the apartment to us. We signed the temp lease and arrived this past Thursday. When we entered the place we were surprised how small and cramped the place was. The pictures on the website were very deceiving and appear to be photo-​shopped into making the place larger than what it actually is. When we opened the bathroom door; there was a foul, rotten stench. It smelled as if a small animal had died and was left in the tub. After catching our breathes from the horrible smell we realized that the smell was from mold that had spored and was festering in the bathroom. When I went into the kitchen to turn on the lights, I immediately looked down as something had caught my eye. To my surprise a full adult size COCKROACH scurried by my foot. When we turned on the water in the sink; the smell of raw sewage almost knocked me off my feet. The very next day we went to Thomas’s office to report the problem. The rather heavyset girl at the desk listened to our issues about the mold and COCKROACH problem.
She put a smirk on her face and told us that because of the extensive rain they had over the past couple of days, the COCKROACHs tend to come inside to «dry off». She then assured us that they will send a person out to take care of the problem. We then left the office and went about our business for the day. When we returned that night and turned on the light, the Adult sized COCKROACH had invited all his friends over. They were all over the place. We knew that Thomas reality had sent someone over because the broken screen door we found was fixed, but the COCKROACH Problem was not even touched. We found in the contract that Thomas has conveniently taken no responsibility about any pest problem in their reality property and does not refund any money because of it. So if you don’t mind a COCKROACH infestation in your rental when you arrive on your vacation, then use THOMAS reality. We will NEVER rent from them again. Lesson learned. And it still smells in the bathroom. Thanks THOMAS for making us feel welcome in your ghetto rental!
