Act in haste, repent in leisure. If you have doubts, look elsewhere.

Bad tenants that are evicted for non payment of rent can be very vindictive. In todays world it is never their fault.
Different emails and post bad reviews.

I would go by on a Saturday and try to catch a few people going in or out. Then trust what they say.

I agree. The best reviews are from the Better Business Bureau. The reviews are investigated.

I don't know that I would agree with that.

A 2015 investigative report from CNNMoney found more than 100 businesses that were not as credible as their BBB ratings of A- or higher made them seem. In fact, many of them were being investigated by the government for fraudulent or other illegal behavior at the time of the reporting.

Fortunately for consumers, a number of alternative resources are available. Potential customers looking for ratings and reviews of a business can always turn to online rating sites like Yelp, Angi or Google Reviews.

Can You Trust the Better Business Bureau?

Can You Trust the Better Business Bureau?

What I mean, is that you get more fake reviews from Google, Yelp, etc. than from the BBB. Because every complaint is investigated by the BBB before posting them.
Also the BBB gives you the chance to correct any problem with your business and the customer posting a bad review.
For example, if you have a customer complaining about your Lease Agreement or maybe about refunding a deposit, the BBB contact you first, they send you a letter, you have the chance to respond, and eventually correct the issue with your customer.
With Google, anyone can post a bad review, and is not investigated by Google if this is a fake review. They don't care. They don't care if this customer is genuine. Also there is not way to correct any issue with your customer.
So if you have any issues with a business, take a look at the BBB first.
Business owner here, by the way.
