Things to consider and be aware of before you lease through them. - Boiler plate contract that includes items not applicable to the property leased. - Lack of understanding of utilities needed for unit and where to go to get them. Was told I would need to show proof of all utilities before I could get key. And half of the utilities are handled by landlord/owner. Shouldn't they know this as a management company? - Had to pick up key at their office on southside. There was no introduction to unit on where to find things, how to access the mailbox, hvac/ heating units, etc.. they had no idea which mailbox was associated to the unit. They should be able to tell you this. I think someone should meet you at unit and show you around on move-in day. - Had a lot of maintenance requests after I moved in. - They will nickel and dime you: --monthly pet rent- $40 --monthly benefit package - $30 --monthly rent -$2800 --monthly insur- $14.95 --one time pet deposit- $200 --one time non refundable fee- $100 --lease initiation fee- $175 --rekey fee- $75 --security deposit- $2800 - Communications are very generic and many times don't apply to you. They just send it out whether or not you need it or have already responded. - Checkout- had to drop off keys at Southside office. No feedback requested or confirmation of returned keys, openers or other community passes. - Demanded receipts for carpet cleaning and house cleaning in order to get security deposit. Which I gave them. Normally I wouldn't take issue with this but the place was not thoroughly cleaned at my move-in. I had the place cleaned before I actually stayed there and again before I left. Take pictures of the place before you move in - to have on hand to prove the condition of it, should you need it when you leave.

They will never provide you with proof of who did the work and how much it costs.. You have to "trust" them. This is shady..My opinion is that these greedy fools probally have their own employees do the work then mark up the price.. Trying to double dip and get paid 2x.. SHADY!!!!!..horrible!!!

I am willing to provide proof of conversations and even showing you a section of Hyltons own lease agreement which allows them not to give you proof of repairs and actual receipt..

I am happy to hand over all markers of my identity ripe for online identity theft when I submit an application. They wouldn't even let me go IN PERSON and physically show my ID, which would be more secure on their end as my face would match the picture. Why would you need my ID in your system to open a door and let me look inside. Mindlessly bureaucratic and inhuman. Also took ages to hear back and my question and needs were rather simple. Though maybe they didnt understand why they have to comply with their own stupid policy and avoided my question, I understand.

I found this to be odd since I was told that no one else has applied. I had someone to call directly after I was turned down and they were immediately given a date to view the home and offered to begin the application process. I then took over the conversation and was told that they in fact did not have another applicant and that "they will eventually". I went in person and demanded my refund for my applicant. The owner Phil Hoffman attempted to explain that the wording in relation to another applicant was to "not hurt me feelings" because I was turned down for other reason citing credit and income. This information and reasoning is unacceptable the sole reason for denial is discrimination. He had no other choice but to offer an immediate refund. This company has been reported for the behavior and unethical business practice. Beware for you to may also become a victim.

Communication has been consistent and proactive--especially during the transition from my previous property manager, which could have been complicated but felt seamless. My tenant can now easily pay rent online, I have full visibility into payments and disbursements through the owner portal, and--most importantly--her account is now current, which has been a long time coming. After 23 years of working with property management companies, this has been my best experience by far. Highly recommend.

Update in photos. To…read morethose in RVA who own a property with tenants OR to who are currently looking for rental housing: I retract every positive statement that I've ever made about my property "management" company, Keyrenter Property Management Richmond. TLDR version of what's below: they are unorganized, have very questionable business practices, do not communicate well internally, will relay mixed messages to both owners and tenants, and will 100% drop you as a client like a hot sack of potatoes when it's inconvenient for them to do their job. What started out as a seemingly great arrangement has turned into an absolute nightmare. On July 6th, I received notice that my tenant of three years was not renewing her lease again. That same day, I sent a very casual reply email to KeyRenter saying that I was contacting my realtor to discuss the POSSIBILITY of selling vs continuing to rent. On July 13th, without speaking with me or confirming anything AT ALL, I was contacted by the general manager, Jeanine, with the tenant CCed in the email stating that they had sent her deposit to me and that I was taking over property management effective immediately. This was just as I was going to Alaska for ten days, so the timing was terrible and created a massive amount of stress as I struggled to get in touch with them to resolve it. They had "assumed" that I was listing the property right away, so simply dropping the last month and a half of their contract was apparently protocol. They apologized when they realized their blatant error, but they left the tenant's deposit in my possession and just told me I'd be responsible for disbursing it with 45 days of the tenant moving out. Then, while I was busy trying to sell my Palmyra house and buy another in less than a month, my tenant contacted me to tell me she got a $600 water bill. I immediately contacted KeyRenter and filed an emergency maintenance request on the tenant's behalf. My tenant works long shifts and doesn't have a lot of down time to sit on hold with Richmond Utilities, so I called them, and after an hour and a half on hold, I was told that only my tenant could speak to them about the bill or schedule a time for them to come out to the property. Almost a week passed, and KeyRenter did nothing. I then asked them to send a plumber to the property preemptively in case there was a problem that could worsen over time. Three days later, KeyRenter replied and brushed me off, saying that Richmond Utilities would handle it. After a second week passed, I asked again, and they finally sent out a plumber. Fortunately the source of the problem was that the toilet was continuously running, which was an easy fix. However, that still left my tenant on the hook for both her $600 bill and also the second (likely) large water bill she'll receive for the two weeks that elapsed prior to the toilet getting fixed, since KeyRenter neglected to send someone out sooner as I requested. After that situation, they told me that I would need to conduct my tenant's move-out walkthrough and collect the keys. I do not live nearby, and these kinds of things are what I hired a property management company to handle (move-out walkthroughs are listed as an included service on their site). I reviewed the entirety of my contract, and I emailed back pointing out that these things were specified nowhere in it, again asking them nicely to do their jobs and let me know when they had it scheduled. One person, Mary, provided me with the date that KeyRenter would be conducting this; Jeanine then replied saying that KeyRenter would not be conducting one at all and that I must have misunderstood an automated email. I forwarded her coworker's (not at all automated) email to her. After that time, everyone else stopped responding, and I was unfortunately left to deal only with her. She has since been disrespectful, dismissive, and not at all concerned with the predicament she's left me to handle or the awkwardness and inconvenience she's created for my tenant. I'm filing complaints both with the franchisor and with DPOR, and I cannot wait for them to experience the levels of panic and stress that they forced me to endure since the beginning of July. Per their website and what the owner claimed when I hired them, "You want to work with a company whose corporate values are an extension of their personal values. This principle is what has led KeyRenter Richmond to become an industry leader in our area. Our success stems from treating you the way we'd like to be treated. We focus on values, ethics, customer service, client satisfaction, innovation, quality, and personal service that gets results. When you work with us, you get access to a team whose foundation is built on integrity, honesty, and accountability. We genuinely care for our clients and the community they represent, and that is reflected in our care and service." This is all nothing but a bold-faced lie; do NOT fall for it like I did, and steer clear.
