Terrible experience with Grand realty, Jim is extremely incompetent in communication. He is the only person that runs his shop. I had my doubts going with a place named Grand Realty to begin with and I regret it, I regret not going with a reputable company. Jim is extremely horrible in communication and doesn't respond to anything. My lease ended on June 30th and I made sure that everything was super clean based on the lease and brought in professionals to clean the place and payed a lot of money out of pocket to clean the rental before I left and left it spotless floor to ceiling. Lease agreement said 30-45 days to get my security deposit back and it has now been 55 days and I still haven't received my security deposit. Got an email saying so much money will be deducted from my security deposit for BS stuff they made up to make money off me and update stuff at the rental on my expense when I had already spent so much money to make sure the place was super clean. Since I am a single father, I was counting on that money for my kids' school expenses before they went to school this week, which is lawfully my security deposit but I have now hired attorneys to file a lawsuit and take Grand realty to court to get my security deposit back since I haven't heard anything on it after trying and trying to communicate, and that is my hard earned money and I will not let them steal it. I have proof of single little thing since I took lots of pictures because from everything I experienced and heard I had a bad gut feeling with these people that they will scam me. They seemed very odd and crooked to begin with and I wanted me and my kids out of their place as soon as my lease ended. They dont like to return security deposits, apparently this is the thing they do is keep the security deposits and rack up BS made up charges just to keep your security deposit. Also spoke to a couple of neighbors a few houses down and they told me some terrible stories and events with what Grad realty does with its tenants, so instead of even entertaining the thought of renewing my lease, I wanted to get out of a contract with Grand realty. I should've known this was bound to happen and I should've known better than going with a hole in the wall company. read more
