I rented from DBD for about a year and a half and had no issues. The property wasn't the nicest, but at the time that is all I could get. I did have a small water leak that was addressed. That was my only interaction with the maintenance crew, and it was fine. The only thing I disliked was not knowing when they will show up until about an hour before.
Before leaving, I did have the carpet professionally cleaned as requested in the lease agreement and cleaned up after myself, which yielded in me getting my deposit back.

The ladies at the front office also were always pleasant to me.

Overall, I don't have anything negative to say about the company or the people that run it. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because the radiators (which were not adjustable) blasted so much heat that even an open window in the middle of winter wasn't enough, so I had to use a box fan to fan in cold air.

I’ve been very frustrated trying to get some closure from the management and has gotten nowhere. 2 bedrooms of the home vents does NOT work. The whole house vents does not blow heat. Is starts to blow for 3-4 min then turns like a cool fan blow idk what’s going on with furnace and maintenance doesn’t either. (As they say) I’ve put work orders in called code and maintenance has came out numerous times. Their maintenance is not being transparent with me nor them. Everytime I speak with office they get smart or rude or say “this is my first time hearing this” I’m just overall frustrated and defeated on what to do I’ve purchased heaters still No justice in home. I feel they knew all along these problems because they all are giving me run around with no closure. I work hard to live comfortably and not give them problems but enough is enough and I’m so lost with this situation and to not even be accommodated or shown no sympathy is the part killing me. When It’ll be snow on the ground soon and as I stated I have a 2. Month old and a 9 yr old child. #prayingforbetterdays

I had found evidence of cockroach in my apartment after them saying everything was set okay. This disgusting and dangerous for anyone’s health especially with someone who has a chronic heart condition and extreme asthma. Also had requested for a bigger place put the application in and never heard anything back and had requested to have my stove worked on and again nothing got done. Nothing but slum lords and money grabbers.

I originally wrote a review 3 years ago when I moved into an apartment with DBD. I wish I could give them zero! I loved the style of my apartment, and how helpful everyone was at first. ALTHOUGH, that DRASTICALLY changed by the end. I'm a solar energy consultant, mother, and CASA/YMCA volunteer, I'm not the usual riffraff that is normally associated with DBD. Maintenance wasn't horrible. Sometimes they came out to fix things, but it was usually never timely, to be honest, I was just grateful they made the effort... Until, a pipe had burst under my apartment, and whole apartment flooded with SEWAGE water from the entire building. I called the emergency line (which Indiana says they have to show up in 24 hours, and by golly, they waited that 24 hours, while my apartment and a lot of my things sat in sewage). They handed us a mop and cleaning products and made us do it. They did replace the carpet, but they left the floorboards, and the wood floors, which were soaked in the sewage water. See the mold in the floorboards below after two years of not changing them. The final straw was the second flood and they refused to help with anything, other than fixing the broken pipe under out apartment, this time it was pre-sewage from the kitchen sink 😑 On top of all of that, the neighbor that moved in above us was a hoarder. She lived there for about 6 months before we moved. She brought ROACHES with her!!! They were in the halls and in everyone's apartments. The only reason I knew it was that neighbor was because Jan told me. She used to work in the office, until they fired/let her go. They sent out pest control a few times and it was never fixed. We absolutely refused to deal with it anymore. It was AWFUL! They "try" to do this well and just fail miserably.

The property I’m renting was robbed & vandalized which is considered emergencies. My lease states in 4.5 titled Emergencies they are supposed to cover the cost in fixing doors & windows.. They are using 4.1 as the reason they are not paying because in 4.1 in regular maintenance if I break the windows or a guest of mine break them then I pay. Police was called & everything which makes it a emergency. I even had my police report. I feel like I’m getting robbed again only this time by the Property Management. The Door was $100.40 from the break in ( door got kicked in ) & the windows are $749. My renters insurance covered my property that was stolen ( I’m the victim ) & the gave me $800 so that means the property managers DBD took my coverage from my stolen items plus interest of $49 dollars which left me with nothing to replace my items that was robbed during the robbery. Yes I can truly say this is Slum Lord Behavior. The More your are Right the More Rude the women in the office become; I truly don’t know how they hire the same personality that don’t care for the tenants so much so they don’t even follow there own lease agreement. I owe them No Money ( I’m a Awesome Tenant ) so I’m going to pay it just know they do not respect their lease if it involves them coming out their pockets. They put all their responsibilities on the Tenant. The home owners should do research on who they hired to watch over their homes on their behalf. Do Not Come To DBD. If you can avoid them do so & if you can’t avoid them just make sure your money right cause any time anything happens you the Tenant will pay not them. They will find something in your lease to try to make their wrongs right even though the lease says you the tenant is right then they become super rude. I make sure I owe them nothing cause if they treat me ( the awesome tenant ) like this I know they treat delinquents that owe money Terrible. To them they are Untouchable. Through this whole process of being a victim in these traumatic, life changing, & life altering events is they ( DBD Properties) are the only people who is not following the law or their lease agreement. I felt like I had to let future tenants know what’s going on & what to look out for when dealing with this property management team called DBD Homes. They might be going broke so they put the bills they are suppose to pay on the tenant. Now they are breaking the law by adding the damage to my rent to get me kicked out for windows I didn’t break cause they are Very Broke. They will sacrifice their humanity for a dollar they don’t deserve. Do not come here if your Money is right. They are the Definition of SlumLords. Horrible people in the office pretending to be nice people please do not fall for it. They are the Worst & Brokest property SlumLords You ever meet. They truly deserve 0 Stars. I can’t wait til they get sued big time.

We’ve been renting a home with DBD for three years and have just renewed our lease for another year. We have been very satisfied with them. If we need something addressed as far as maintenance they are quick to respond and whoever comes to comes are very professional and solve the problem quickly. I think the reviews on here are old and the current management is excellent at taking good care of their tenants.

Slumlords don't fix they try not to give you the house you apply for. So they can get your fee
I'm a contractor horrible work. They when you're u move. You pay for them to remod

Predatory and exploitative behavior. They require $20 for a self-guided tour. Application fees, even holding fees, are normal however tour fees are not customary. A prospective tenant should never have to pay to see the property.
