Alimeda Lawhorne, the leasing consultant, and Courtney Jenkins, the property manager at Pine Plaza, were terrible to deal with. The regional property manager, Enrique Lorie, is just as terrible to deal with. I was supposed to move in in October, which Alimeda knew was a hard move-in date, and the apartment was nowhere near ready. See picture is the apartment in "move-in" ready condition... When problems arise, it seems to be a pattern that management becomes unresponsive. This is an extremely poorly managed property - the same property group also owns Morgan Apartments, just FYI. I would have rated this property zero stars, but it was not an option. I highly recommend looking elsewhere. There are better apartments and competent property management teams in the area.

We searched to find a place to suit our small family on moving to the area, and found a vacancy at Tasker Village in Stephens City. They're absolutely fantastic about prompt and courteous repairs; every time we've put in a maintenance request they've been out in a matter of hours to fix tile, change filters, etc. The property managers are AWESOME and have gone out of their way for us several times. My husband went to college here and rented from them previously, and Doris remembered him from years ago and has been with us, along with the other staff members, every step of the way. Aikens is an awesome rental group, and our experience has been absolutely wonderful. Can't rate highly enough!

She got me hooked up with a great home repair guy and he got my house fixed up on time and on budget. Deborah came over, liked what she saw and put my house on the market. Just like that, I got an offer for the full asking price. She had to do a lot of extra leg work as I had to move out of Berryville for a new job. She got everything taken care of and we closed ahead of schedule. You can't find a realtor that will do a better job for you than Deborah. She is the best!

We also had a water filter issue that made the tap water slimy, and trying to fix it just got us pushback instead of help. They got mad at us for getting it fixed. Move-out was just as frustrating--threatened with a full extra month's rent if we were there on the morning of the 1st, and told to be out by 5pm on the last day even though rent was paid. Overall, pretty unhelpful and difficult to deal with. Raised the rent $300 after fixing the AC system even though we didn't have heat all winter with a baby in the house. Thankfully there was a wood stove there that we used. Overall, you couldn't pay me to rent from these people again.

We were on very friendly terms with the neighbors and never once had a complaint for noise or annoyance. After our initial move out, the landlord came over to do a walk through. We thought everything would be just fine, and we were preparing for the holidays in our new home (this was a week before Christmas), so we asked that the walk through just be done without us and to let us know if they needed anything. THEY NEEDED THINGS!! One or two requests I would have understood...but they considered average nail holes to NOT be average wear and tear on the house! We had to come back and fill the nail holes and repaint EVERY wall where the nail holes had been spackled. Since this is an old house, that meant that every wall in the house (minute two rooms) had to be repainted. He complained of a dust bunny on the floor and said we should have at least swept...when we had swept AND mopped our way out of the house the first time. We primed over two walls that had been painted during our live there...but he informed us that we needed to prime and paint the walls the original color of the house. Then...he gave us the wrong color to paint, so the job had to be done twice. In order to get our deposit back, we did work on the house that any other property manager would have done between tenants. We were absolutely a source of free labor for the guys...and I reiterate, ONE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!! Scrooges.

I will echo much of what was said back in 2012 regarding Adams- Nelson. I lived in one of their…read moreproperties for just about 2 years. My initial thoughts on Adams-Nelson was very positive as they seemed extremely receptive to requests and were accommodating. This opinion quickly changed after just a few months. The biggest complaint I had as a tenant was the lack of property maintenance. Many of the issues that were requested to be fixed upon move in were NEVER addressed. Like the previous reviewer, our rent was on time and we took care of the property and were respectful to our neighbors and surrounding properties (going as far as picking up litter around not only our property but surrounding properties). During our move out is when the disaster really started. Admittedly, we did create a small amount of damage on the paint on a couple of the walls within the unit (think command strip gone bad). We contacted the property maintenance as to what we could do to minimize the amount of work they would have to do and to get our maximum damage deposit back. He evaluated the damage and provided us with paint to touch up the paint damage. After we thoroughly cleaned the unit (5+ hrs) we were told that the areas of the wall we repainted with their APPROVED paint were not up to their standards and that they would be required to repaint the entire wall since the paint was 5 years old and the touchup work did not match the existing 5-year-old paint. In addition to the paint, we were told that the unit was not cleaned up to their specifications (to the point the representative complained of the condensation that had formed on the shelves in the refrigerator). We did receive part of our deposit but when getting the check we requested an itemized list of the deductions to our damage deposit required by VA state code 55-248.15.1 "The security deposit and any deductions, damages, and charges shall be itemized by the landlord in a written notice given to the tenant, together with any amount due the tenant within 45 days after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession" they could not provide. All things considered, I absolutely CANNOT recommend Adams-Nelson rental properties. They are extremely accommodating at first but when you move out the concept of "normal wear and tear" does not apply to their properties and you better be either (or both) a professional cleaner/painter or you kept the walls all bare and untouched if you want to get your full deposit back.
