My experience with UCA has been amazing. The onboarding was smooth and they guided me through everything and were very understanding.

Very satifisfied with the apartment. I’ve been living for more than a year and it never let me down. Before renew the lease, I realize that I don’t really enjoy my bathroom because my apartment was built long time ago and very old. I contacted UCA about this and they were very willing to renovate it. The whole process took 1 week and the bathroom looks gorgeous. I enjoy it very much. I highly recommend this company. They make things going smoothly well.
