The best place to rent come by and check us out we are best maid in UVALDE TX 78801
Gave my mother in law the run around about getting approved and people were ahead of her on waiting list. It was people who put in an application after her but of course they were paying full rent and not on housing. Staff is a complete joke and full of lies.
