We moved into this home with a 12 month lease. We were told that it would go month to month at the end of the lease. We asked if it would be possible to sign a longer lease and we were told they would only do a year and then month to month, but we could talk about it when the lease was up. The management company would only accept a month to month after our year was up. Or lawn mower was stolen by the drug daler that rented the house (from JLP properties) on the property that shared out driveway. He took down a hogwire fence on the side of the house we rented so he could " mow our yard because Shelley asked him to do that." We asked to put up a section of fence on the side of the house and we were told that it had to be professionally installed and we would be responsible for the expense.The next tenant that rented the house behind us (from JLP properties) next was a drug user who had an abusive boyfriend that fought and yelled and broke things regularly. She also stole electricity from me by running an extension cord to the outdoor plug during the day while we were working. The house was broken into and property was stolen on the side of the house we wanted to put fence on. A window was busted out, which we replaced along with the blind. We put up a $1250 deposit and $2500 first and last months rent. We were never late paying rent. Shelley complimented us on keeping the yard well keep and on the maintenance on the inside after the walk through. I turned in an email to them on July 16 via email. When I asked about the last months rent going towards August rent Shelley claimed she never received the email. I forwarded her a screen shot of the email with the time and date stamp. She said that it had to be mailed (this is not in the lease) so I mailed it. It came back because they had changed addresses since we signed a lease the year before. She told me that the owner agreed to give us 1/2 months rent back. Appreciated. We cleaned the house, replaced drip pans, walked baseboards, mowed the yard, swept and mopped the floors, wiped down counters, sinks, tubs, and toilets. Trash was put out and I went back by after work and put the cans back by the house after it was picked up.
When I went to pick up my deposit I received a check for $870.70.
JLP Property Management kept $1200 dollars staying they had to clean and deodorize, clean along the fence line, Hall off trash replace blinds. JLP Property Management is less than honest! I have pictures of how I left the home and will be taking them to court.
We were good tenants and they were upset that we were leaving and they wouldn't be getting their rent regularly anymore.
About them at all cost. It will cost you in the end. read more
