This is a horrible company to work with, landlord included. When we went to view the property, Eileen, the property manager, failed to tell the "painters" that we were going to be there as well. Well, it turns out the landlord was there also. She was with her "painter" friends, but the landlord didn't want to disclose who she was. I could tell it was the landlord because she was showing us around from room to room and giving us a tour. The real reason she was there in my opinion, was to physically view the applicants. She looked uncomfortable, and stared a lot. She even asked me and my partner if we were married. This could be easily viewed as a discriminatory question. I am not sure why a "painter" would ask this question. Next, we don't have rental history, and our realtor told her that. Eileen suggested that we fill have out our applications, provide paystubs, and picture ID's. She said this was a preliminary review without an application fee. A few days later, she confirmed that our income was 3 times the rent. Keep in mind, she still hasn't run our credit or background check. Not once did she mention that the $1450 deposit would change as a result of no rental history. After determining the income qualified, Eileen said she was going to increase the deposit. I replied to her email and asked her how much it would be, and she said she would have to ask the landlord and get back to me again. I even told her if I could actually apply, she would see we both have clean backgrounds, and very high credit scores to show we are financially responsible people. However, she kept deterring us from applying, and kept giving us the run around. Finally, days later, Eileen called the realtor and said the deposit will be increased by an additional $500. The deposit was $1450, and would now increase to $1950. It bothers me that Eileen, as a property manager, appeared to have no interest in receiving our application as authorization to run our credit and background checks. Had she done so, she may not have increased our security deposit. In addition to the security deposit, she would only allow an initial 6 MONTH LEASE. Keep in mind, the listing states 12 months lease. Personally, I feel discriminated against. I can't seem to shake the feeling that she did not want my partner and I because of our race. Now that I have read these other google/yelp reviews, I see a pattern. It seemed like Eileen wanted us to walk away from the opportunity to rent this property. On another note, other reviews indicate that Eileen tends to overexaggerate damages, and inflates expenses in order to keep most of the security deposit. These are not people I feel comfortable with renting from, and they are shady. BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. read more
