Avoid This Management Company at All Costs
I rented from this company for five years, and the experience was absolutely horrendous. They have unethical business practices, including blackmailing tenants into leaving positive reviews. I was told that if I didn’t give a good review, they would charge me an additional $100. It was incredibly frustrating, and I had to argue extensively to avoid paying. And it didn’t end there – the following year, I was pressured to either donate $100 to a nonprofit or post another glowing review.
The maintenance was a nightmare. They’d send workers who clearly didn’t know what they were doing, and instead of properly fixing issues, they’d just apply temporary "Band-Aid" solutions to major problems. For example, we went without air conditioning for two months in 2022, despite dealing with AC issues for five years. It was unacceptable, especially considering how many times I had reported the issue. I honestly should have documented every single problem we had, as the list is endless.
The final straw came when we signed a new lease, and just two months later, they informed us they were selling the property and we had to move out. It felt like we had paid off the owner's mortgage while enduring endless stress and inconvenience. At the time, my son was only 8 years old, and this process was incredibly disruptive for our family. The level of unprofessionalism was off the charts. Over the five years, we had more than 50 different people come through our house to "fix" things, but none of them addressed the core issues.
I had known the owner personally before all of this, and I was deeply disappointed in the way his company treated us. There were no valid excuses for many of the problems we faced, and it’s clear that they’re more interested in squeezing money out of tenants than providing quality service or maintaining their properties.
On top of everything, they raised our rent every year and demanded another $100 to "revise" the lease. It was constant pressure and unfair demands. The amount of time I had to waste just to deal with these issues was infuriating.
If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. They get zero stars from me, my partner, and my son.
