A terrible letting agency full of hot air and broken promises
Leaze is the new name of Habyt, which has plenty of negative reviews already. I stayed with Habyt/Leaze for over a year. The apartment was in poor condition when I arrived and it was evident that none of the cleaning between tenancies advertised on the website was carried out. Most appliances were either broken or badly damaged, and some rooms were in bad shape.
Habyt/Leaze lacks a direct communication method for immediate tenant support - they have no reachable phone number. Tenants can email or create support tickets, but response times vary dramatically from hours (if they want money from you) to months if you even get one. A housemate had to call a locksmith privately after moving in because their bedroom door was jammed and Habyt had not responded to any message from any of us for several days.
Myself and various housemates repeatedly messaged them about broken appliances, but these would either be briefly humored then ignored, ignored directly or merged with previous ignored tickets due to 'repeated conversations taking up space'. It took over a year for Habyt to send technicians to repair damaged appliances and rooms, and we never received any prior notification about their visits either (shocking as technicians weren't given apartment keys).
I did receive my deposit back after the end of my tenancy, but it took months longer than promised in the tenancy agreement and only came after >90 emails from me. I know from other reviews many people have not been so lucky, especially given Habyt's recent downsizing and rebranding as Leaze. Avoid 'Germany Living' too, it is another (rancid) branch stemming from Habyt.
To achieve this downsizing, it appears Habyt has without notice evicted lots of tenants across Germany and the Netherlands. This means lots of people don't have to worry about signing up with them anymore (they left the city I live in entirely), but this is of course horrible for the evicted tenants. If any of this sounds remotely appealing to you then sign up with Leaze, and know they will only care about the money in your bank account. A terrible letting agency full of hot air and broken promises.
