I have had 5 landlords in the past six years and have only had problems with Don Walker.
The first problem occurred when I noticed that there was mold growing in one of my closets. Their solution was for me to clean in with bleach and spray mildew remover. A week later the mold is back. They come over clean the mold, paint the closet, and leave a dehumidifier for me to run. Mold still comes back.
So the tell me the closet is too full and the air won't circulate, that since I live in the basement apartment it is just something I will have to deal with, I need to keep spray mildew remover, ect... This goes on for almost six weeks when a pipe that is in the wall behind the closet burst. By the time I can find the water line and turn it off my apartment is covered wall to wall in 3 inches of water.
It takes them 3 hours to come by apartment and asses the damage to see what needs to be done. During this time I am moving all of my belongings on to the street so they do not ruin. The company tells me I they will put in a hotel for one night and then I can find a new place to live. ONE NIGHT!!! They give 24 hour to move out all of my stuff that is covered in water and find a new place to live. Oh and the $650 in rent I paid 3 days prior to this and the $500 deposit I put down will be returned in 4-6 weeks.
They did offer another solution I could transfer my rent )( prorated of course) and deposit to another one of their properties. I would however need to sign a new 1 year lease, despite the fact I only have two months left on the current place.
My reply was kiss my ass! I currently rent from resident pm and they are wonderful.
