I was a customer here for almost 3 years. I never missed a payment, and was pleasant with the owners the entire time. After finally deciding to move my stuff out and end my lease, we came into a problem I feel the owners severely mishandled.
I called back today to get the gate code from the owners and they told me they cleared out the unit because they reversed the payment I made and that was me "giving up my unit"... and apparently everything inside it. I never gave them written confirmation that taking my stuff was acceptable, but they argue that them reversing the payment was me saying they could have my belongings.
As far as how they handled it on the phone? The first time I called, they notified me that they had taken my belongings. We ended the call mutually and I tried to figure out what to do.
I called back, and spoke with the lady's husband, and asked him to send me a copy of the contract I signed when I first became a customer. He said he would, then hung up on me. He didn't ask for my email address, and as far as I know, doesn't even have an accurate home address for me b/c I've moved since becoming a customer.
I called back again to give them my email address. The lady told me that their system wasn't set up to send an email copy of my contract (really? It's 2017!), and it wouldn't matter anyways because I gave them verbal permission to take my belongings.. apparently. They then proceeded to tell me I handled things incorrectly, told me they were finished, and if I wanted to continue discussing it with them, I could get an attorney.
In summary, they immediately got defensive when a problem arose, refused to send a copy of my contract to me, threatened legal action, and told me I was wrong multiple times in the span of two 2-minute conversations over the phone.
Take it for what you want, but this company does not deserve business until they get their act together. I'm seriously disappointed in how they acted once they no longer had a monetary incentive to be polite to me. They took 3 years worth of rent, my belongings inside my unit, and then told me there's nothing I can do about it. read more
