I have lived in an an apartment managed by RMA Inc. for a year and a half. I came home on the 30th of Nov. to find a letter notifying me that I have been an excellent tenent, and to show thier grattitude they would only raise my rent 100 dollars for the comming holiday season. I was told that the recent upgrades to the complexe justified the increase and that similar units in the area were priced accordingly. The previous tenant left a hole in the bedroom door and ripped the closet doors off, neither one have been repaired. The shower has a window with a wooden sill that allows water to seep into the dry wall of the unit and collect mold. When I moved into the apartment I was told I had to sign a waver acknowledging the existince of mold in wet climates such as Oregon, and that RMAO Inc. could not be held liable for any respiratory illness that might develop over the corse of my tenancy. Heat is supplied through pipes in the ceiling, and I'm told works very well for the unit above me. On average my heating bill in the winter is $120/month for a 550 s.q. unit. Realty Management Advisors Oregon, Inc. and I have two different concepts of timely repairs.
