Steven B.

Disliked: Cleanliness
House was big but poorly kept, main floor master bathroom toilet was sitting on a rotten floor that was about to cave in! Sheets were disgustingly with fecal matter on them! Went to the grocery store bout about 1000 worth of food that got infested with ANTS everywhere everywhere! Water service was leaking and flooded the street, siding falling off of the house grill was rusted falling apart!!! Called and nothing was done about anything! Will never rent anything again from HARRIS PROPERTIES!!!
