Update from 8/28 - received my deposit after a pretty arduous process. My bank informed me "Lazy Entrepreneurs" aka Evolve inputted incorrect information about the recipient which is why it didnt get to me. Ill just start by saying theres nothing in this review that wasn't brought up to the people who run Evolve - Matt and Ola. I cant remember the last time I wrote a negative review and truthfully they both seem like kind people - but I sort of felt like I had no choice. Its been 18 days since I've moved out and I still havent received my deposit of over 2000 euros. I signed a lease that states I'll receive my deposit if I returned the room (which also costs 2040 euros) in good condition. Matt sent me a whatsapp an hour after I moved out stating that the deposit is on its way - and I still havent received it after dozens of back and forth messages, which is unacceptable. The interesting part is there were multiple people who came to Evolve through Airbnb, who never had to sign a lease, give an interview or even pay a deposit - which goes against their whole "community" vibe. There were some other issues including cockroaches throughout the house for weeks that were called out by multiple tenants in my month long stay there. But ultimately, Ive been more than patient and not being returned back the deposit is putting me in a bad position.
