The unprofessional demeanor of all agents is the first thing that comes to mind when looking back (with unfortunate dis-ease) at my past year renting from Realty World Properties. Agents are constantly late, fast-talking, un-prepared for questions or pleasantries and smoke (then litter too!)
I took over a lease from a previous tenant when only half the apartment was moved out. The start date was May 31st and had 2 weeks to move in. Very exciting, not exactly.

My 575 security deposit was quickly reduced to under $50 with no explanation.
