Gaye Al-Rashid Properties

You are very likely to lose money unfarily to this unethical person. Stay away! more

This is funny. I was talking to a co worker about my experience with Gaye and I googled her name for giggles only to find exactly the same sentiment. This was in 2000. She started off nice when we signed our lease, but spiraled down from there. She was a terrible, officious lady with an authority complex. She would not discuss a problem as it was only her way or the highway. Unbending and unyielding, she nickled and dimed us for everything. She even charged me $50 to change a smoke-alarm battery...I've never forgotten the audacity of such a thing. I found out I had a final exam the last day of my lease and gave her as much notice as possible. I asked her for an extra few hours so I could take my exam and come back with time to clean the apartment. She wouldn't give it to me...she knew I couldn't clean it in the time and she had already booked the next people to move in, maximizing her dollar and taking my security deposit. Heart of stone...not to be confused for a good businesswoman. There is a special place for this woman, folks, and it's very warm. more

Ms. Al-Rashid is a slum lord. She does absolutely nothing to maintain her properties. She sends a "handyman" instead of a plumber or an electrician. Once you report a problem, the management company quits answering the phone since Ms. Al-Rashid won't pay for any repairs. She's UNBELIEVABLY cheap and quite the b---h. We couldn't take a shower for MONTHS because the faucet has literally rusted off the pipe. We also couldn't use our dishwasher for MONTHS because it flooded every time we turned it on. She could care less. Just send the rent. The management company was terrible, too, but truly it was her refusal to do any repairs at all at the bottom of it. And, yes, she kept the damage deposit. She is very sketchy, do not rent from her. more

I have rented at many places, and I know that the experience is usually less than stellar, but Mrs. Al Rashid is one of the sharkiest landlords I've had the displeasure to know. You can forget about ever seeing your security deposit again and that lease you signed, haha, not worth the paper it's written on. Do not rent from her! more
