Do not rent from this property management company. He is completely unhinged when it comes to the…read moreway he runs his business and properties. While living in one of his properties I witnessed behavior from him that breaks Missouri Tenant Law including, but not limited to, entering my neighbor's apartment when she wasn't at home and walking around to check on things without her permission. He kept 70% of my security deposit for cleaning, which I won back in small claims court. The judge didn't believe a word he said and neither should you. He fails to give proper move out inspections, allows maintenance issues to build up before sending someone over, and doesn't take crime in his properties seriously. On multiple occasions the police had to come to my building due to issues with a neighbor, including the tenant's boyfriend breaking into the building in the middle of the night through the front door and then he broke the upper window when she wouldn't answer the door. In a snide comment on my review on reviewmylandlord, this landlord denied there was ever a burglary and called me a deadbeat tenant for sharing my experiences. Do yourself a favor and steer CLEAR of RMS.

This company is awful. We rented 113 1/2 Willis Av for our son. Older home right off of campus…read more From the beginning the air conditioning was a problem. They never told us that the control to the unit was in the other apartment. You have no control over the temperature in the apartment. Plus the air kept going out, over and over. They would send out a crew if it was during 9-5 Monday - Friday and no holiday. Well when you work you usually don't get home until after 5 to notice the air isn't working. I can't count how many weekends he went with doors open and box fans going. They would only bandaid the unit and as soon as a warm spell came, it would go out again. We paid $750 a month to rent this place. It wasn't cheap. Be warned if you rent the place on Willis that you better be cold natured.

Impression ***good side*** 1. the guys working efficient, showing house, answer the phone in weekday. 2. Using e-document for sign and pay fee online(I not have chance to try). 3. Maintain guy is friendly and easy talking. 4. Front desk girl and showing gentleman is nice and have good smile. 5. Office close to public library, easy to drop off your payment. 6. Information to you by email. 7. Have own website and Facebook page. ***Bad side*** 1. They ask BIG Deposit...$1500 2. Lease is one year (but they are take our couple days away in contract) 2. No any information for Lawn care on our contract, anyway we be good renter and take care by myself. 3. Big smile when you are in, totally changed when you prepare to move out. 4. Lots of rule and paper when you prepare to move out, feeling hard to get my deposit back. 5. Normally they not answer your email for maintain or house problem notice. ***Key *** If you have to working with this one, take photos and video much more you can before you move in, prepare the time and patient for fight with them after you move out, according to other people's reviews*** hope I am lucky one. 06/04/2010 Got email for termination notice by email. Ask for move out at 06/24/2015. our contract no detail for after lease period. Most of move out notice should send monthly before, this one is odd. Hope we can extension. 6/10/2015 Move in June/27/2014, Our one year lease end at June/24.2015 (they are take our couple days away in contract :-( ) Plan purchase house in this town, we have gap for new house. Go to Jocabs Property try to negotiate to extend one or two months. Front desk girl is nice and professional. But the boss is so rude, the face change so quickly, try they best to scare and dump you...totally no any respect to negotiation with you. Afternoon, we try our best to find short lease apartment for our gap. hope we can be good and move out on time. 06/20/2015

Unresponsive/uncommunicative office staff that were so unprofessional that I decided not to sign…read morewith them despite being in love with the property. First I was cancelled on 5 minutes until the first scheduled showing time. I was told twice throughout this process that I would have 24 hours from the time my application was approved to pay a security deposit to hold the unit for 2 weeks until a lease was signed. Once they called me and told me I was approved, they informed yet again that I would be hearing from Tammie or Tara about a docusign and I did not hear anything back from them regarding this security deposit even after emailing well within the 24 hour period, and leaving 2 voicemails. 11 days later (at near end of business day before the move in date they assigned me) I drove to their office, and had to knock loudly on their locked door 3 times (despite their hours saying they were open) to get someone to come to the door and answer my questions. Nothing seemed to be prepared for my lease to be signed and I had been in the dark about the security deposit and was unsure if I was ever going to hear back from them. They were claiming I would owe a double deposit due to recently switching employers DESPITE one of the ladies there requesting I send them the signed offer letter for my employment to avoid having to pay said double deposit. I understand that this is a standard policy, however I was requested to send this offer letter as an exception to the rule and this was not communicated within the company. I could have easily gotten a co-signer to avoid having to pay this double deposit had they just communicated this to me at any point before the DAY BEFORE I was scheduled to move in. I was supposed to move into this very nice condo apartment today and after this experience I am no longer interested in working with these people so I will not be signing my lease.

Be prepared for maintenance to show up whenever they please (without calling or asking), and for leasing agents to "be in the neighborhood" with potential renters without telling you or asking if it's a bad time. Your neighbors are potential junkies and squatters, and be ready to call the cops at 3AM for parties that will make your kitchen counters shake. I asked CPM about the "quiet enjoyment" part of the lease--still waiting for a call back. Administration is disorganized and unprofessional. My rent check once got credited to a different unit. Communication is spotty at best, and during your check-out process, don't be surprised if the agent keeps you waiting while he's busy on the phone. As a last straw, my deposit check got lost in the mail, and they charged ME for stop payment on something that was their fault. A word to the wise: know your rights as a renter in the state of MO. Hold CPM to them. Take extensive pictures of the property when you move in and file/photocopy every document they give you. Fill out your condition addendum thoroughly, and don't let these swindlers get away with taking your hard earned money out from under you.

Do NOT sign a lease with A&B management…read more A&B takes advantage of students and does not treat people fairly. The day I moved into my apartment, I bleached the tub and got on my hands and knees to scrub stains out of the carpet. I was then charged for carpet cleaning fees and "other" cleaning fees when I moved out two years later. The apartment was 90% cleaner than when I moved in. Additionally, there is no way to get ahold of anyone after 430pm on weekdays or on weekends. If something happens, you are out of luck. One weekend, my car was hit in our lot by another resident. There was no way get into contact with A&B about it. Even when I did talk to them on Monday and asked to put video cameras up, there was "nothing they could do". My car was hit again about 5 weeks later. I could never prove who hit it and had to pay the entirety of the repair costs of almost $1000. Dropping of rent is a different story. There is no way to pay online. You have to drive to the office and drop off the check during open hours (I was rarely out of school during those hours before 4:30). If the office is not open, you are out of luck. I would call and ask the management if it was okay to drop it off the check when I had a day off. The office would say that it was totally fine. When I moved out I was charged almost $100 in late fees that I never knew I was even getting.

This property management company is unprofessional and doesn't take responsibility for its tenants…read moreand the nonsense their tenant put the neighborhood through. Since their tenant has moved in there have been four shootings at the property and three were drive-by shootings. On the second occasion a man exited the property and returned fire to the fleeing car, shooting out its back window. This is fact and the Columbia Police will confirm it. After the second incident my tenant - as well as I - called Southern Properties/Re/Max Rental Resources, LLC and I spoke with Susan Horak, who was apologetic and told me she would have her property manager (who ran that property) call me. I received a call from a woman whose name I don't remember but I have her telephone number as she called and than texted me. So the business can identify her, the last two digits of the phone number are '66'. The property manager was not only combative but inept. She claimed there was no police report, which is untrue. I sent her a link to the police report. I also urged her to contact my tenant for video, details and a police contact who could fill her in, which the property manager refused to do. After I texted her the link to the police report she stated "I am going to silence my phone now as it's Sunday and I would like to spend some time with my family" only to (after I didn't respond as she claimed she was silencing her phone) send me several passive aggressive texts off in a row unrelated to the shooting. She also claimed her tenant had nothing to do with the shootings because she was at work, however, if the property manager took a moment to be an adult and to perform her job she would have learned from the officer that there's a man who isn't on the lease who's staying at the property and as mentioned, returned fire after the property was shot at. It would be great if your property manager did her job; hopefully the next tenant you put into the property and his/her cohabitants who are/aren't on the lease doesn't cause any more shootings, violence or nuisances in the neighborhood. We're not interested in dealing with bad tenants, their enemies or a slumlord property management company who denies their tenant did anything wrong. Since the property manager felt the need to give me advice on how to run my business I'll give her a piece of advice in return: If a security deposit goes toward fixing bullet holes you're not screening your tenants properly.
