Calling all renters! I have started a new Property Management Company because as a Manager for several years I was always very disappointed with the upper Management.
What has your experience been like with different Management companies. I would love to hear any positive things that you liked and or respected and of course any constructive criticism you can provide.
I am very excited to hear your answers, I am looking forward to building a company that you would enjoy renting with! Thank you,

Years ago when I rented, I was always disappointed with the lack of flexibility on dogs. I finally found a landlord that would allow my dogs, said that they would rather rent to someone with dogs than children. I never saw them, they allowed me to perform small repairs and deduct them from my rent if I provided a receipt. My only complaint about them is they nickle and dimed me on the security deposit, charging me for problems that existed when I moved in (a small crack in a window for instance), and charged me alot for things I told them about when I gave notice. They said "that's OK, we'll take care of it" which meant, we'll charge you $50 for the small hole where I poked a car key through in the screen door. Although I thoroughly cleaned and shampooed carpets when I left, they kept my pet deposit too.
Complaints I hear from renters: monthly property checks, landlords showing up unannounced, and items taking days, weeks or months to be fixed.
Good luck on your new venture.

But did faithfully send the rent increase letter every 2 years ( raised to the max allowed I might say) .

I've had horrible horrible experience with a management company. This company was just crooked big time. They used to use the security deposit account to pay the mortgage!! They made us lie to OBRE and other inspectors. Then when I found a new job and told them i was leaving after 3 1/2 years they didn't care. Didn't flinch. Here's a tip, actually care for your employees, without them you wouldn't have a business!!!
