Absolutely fantastic. Garret was always available to answer any questions I had about the lease, and repairs were always completed within 2 days of filling out the form. By far the most helpful and organized landlord I've had in Tuscaloosa, much better than any of the other ones.

HA Edwards is great from bottom to top. I have been renting for over a year now at a reasonable rate. My contact with HA Edwards, Garret, is always quick to get work orders in to fix my issues. I also have met Charles Edwards and he is great. He has helped keep HA Edwards a family business. He listened to me when I disclosed the issues with my apartment even though I am one of thousands of tenants. I appreciate what they do.

I've been a tenant with HA Edwards almost 8 years and I love renting from them. They treat me like family and look out for me just like family. My apartment is truly my safe haven and I'm glad I made the choice to lease with them. Anything I have going on that I need help with they always help me promptly and repair most everything the same day as I call. I promise you this is where you want to come when looking to lease a home or apartment. Tell them Danielle sent you

I moved into my apartment a few weeks ago and being an older building there were a few things that needed to be fixed. Tray has been incredibly helpful and has provided awesome service and responsiveness to resolve all of my problems as soon as possible. He's made several trips and ordered many parts while dealing with back-order issues and he has communicated and been prompt about the entire process. Would highly recommend HA Edwards to friends in the future.

I had the pleasure of Mr. Ray Allen coming out and performing some maintenance work. He was so professional, courteous and kind. He explained everything to me and did the work extremely fast. Him and this company is yruly a blessing. I've rented from H. A. Edwards for over 18 years with no complaints at all. Great company and great service!
