The worst people I have ever dealt with in renting from is Farrell Smyth property management company in San Luis Obispo. I was moving to SLO and my friends had already had a house rented through Farrell Smyth, We had planned on re-renting the property with new room mates because some where moving out and me and another person where moving in. All seemed to go well until Farrell Smyth decided to make a 4 bedroom house a 5 bedroom and charge 700 dollars extra. This was ridiculous as the previous lease had stated 4 bedroom and 700 dollars less then what they where asking. Clearly not happy with how they handled this, we decided not to re-rent with them. No where on the website do they say anything about an application fee or anything. I had planned on renting with them, but decided not to. When I asked for my deposit back that they needed immediately 3 months before the lease even started, they decided that some how taking 100 dollars out of the deposit was fare for the HORRIBLE service that they provided me. Clearly confused as to why I got 100$ less than what I sent them. They claimed ""application fee"" and have refused to return my emails. This company is terrible to rent from. They don't care about their tenants or anything about them, they only care about money, tenants are treated so unfairly you can't imagine it how they victimize their own tenants. Worst experience trying to lease a house for a year from these people at Farrell Smyth, they really screwed us over and they thought nothing of it. Please precaution this property management company, they show no respect to their renters at all which they should not be trusted as how horrible they do treat people
