This review reflects my personal experience after staying with June Homes for several years.
What initially seemed like a convenient housing option gradually turned into a very stressful and difficult living experience.
One of my biggest concerns was the uncertainty around roommates. In my experience, you often don’t know who you will be living with, and when issues arise — including disruptive or unpredictable behavior — they can be very difficult to resolve. I felt that tenants may end up bearing much of the risk themselves, which made me feel increasingly uneasy about my living environment and personal safety.
The situation eventually escalated into a serious safety concern involving a roommate, which led to police involvement. During that time, I did not feel that my concerns were handled with urgency. I had to arrange temporary housing at my own expense just to feel safe, which was a very stressful experience.
After the situation escalated, I was eventually offered a penalty-free early termination option. However, this was conditional on agreeing to additional terms, which, based on my understanding, included certain restrictions related to making public comments about the experience. Personally, I found this difficult to process given that I was trying to leave due to safety concerns.
Despite paying monthly management fees, I personally did not feel that I received the level of service or support I expected. When issues arose, responses sometimes felt limited, inconsistent, or not clearly communicated, and I often felt that I had to handle situations on my own without effective resolution.
There were also ongoing issues with basic living conditions. During winter, I experienced repeated periods without consistent hot water. Although I reported this multiple times, the issue was not fully resolved, and I was at one point told that this could be “normal” in New York due to older infrastructure. As a tenant paying rent and fees, I found this difficult to understand.
I also experienced challenges with billing transparency, including utility charges and security deposit deductions. In my experience, some charges were not clearly explained in advance, and I had to follow up multiple times to understand the details.
In certain cases, the utility costs appeared unexpectedly high relative to my usage, which I personally found difficult to understand. When I asked for clarification, the explanations were not always clear or consistent.
At times, there were inconsistencies or later corrections mentioned, which made the process feel confusing and frustrating.
Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering this platform — especially for longer stays — to carefully review lease terms, billing details, and potential risks, including roommate uncertainty and support responsiveness. I would also suggest looking beyond overall ratings when researching. In my experience, I have received emails offering incentives (such as gift cards) in connection with leaving reviews, and I still have records of these communications. Because of this, I found it more helpful to read detailed and critical feedback to gain a more complete understanding of different user experiences.
This is only my personal experience, but I hope it provides helpful context for others making housing decisions. Personally, this experience did not provide the sense of safety and stability I was hoping for — instead, it left me feeling stressed, unsupported, and uncertain.
Based on this very stressful experience, I would personally not consider using this platform again.
