Landmark should highly consider terminating Amanda Resterer, the property manager who continues to…read moreharass me unlawfully for years, most recently threatening to stick creditors on me for a discharged debt that Landmark was notified of.

If you're a tenant with Landmark and believe they've violated your rights or acted unlawfully, please seek legal recourse. It's time they're held accountable for exploiting our community.

PURE Property Management is a joke. They managed my property from March 2020 -April 2025. During…read morethat time they frequently went weeks (sometimes months!) without responding to requests. They rarely, if ever, provided updates about the property--even though they promised to do inspections every 6-12 months, which they didn't. When it was time to sell the house I told them four months in advance so we could let the tenants know. The tenants left the place a mess and the property said that they'd give us the security deposit back and we could deal with the cleaning. Then, after all this, they send me an Agreement to Terminate and say they need 30 days notice. They have been awful. Avoid them like the plague.

I've been renting from Windermere for two years now. From the beginning they have been helpful and…read moreprompt. Yesterday could have potentially been disastrous without the quick thinking and action taken by Bethany, Rebecca, and especially Scott Sanders. I got out of bed at seven am and stepped into an inch of standing water that spread through the entire apartment. I called the emergency maintenance line and within 15 minutes Scott was at my door. He made a quick assessment of the situation and within a couple hours we were on way to the storage unit with all my furniture and all my belongings in plastic totes in a trailer. Scott helped me all day, troubleshooting, loading and unloading; he even took my mom for a walk around the block when we were taking a break. She said he was an angel! Windermere put me up in a hotel for two weeks and is covering the cost of the storage unit and provided the trailer. I don't know that my experience would have been the same with another property management company, (I've heard some horror stories). To know that your renting from a company that employs people like Scott, Bethany and Rebecca, people who are your advocates and not the enemy, is a great comfort. I want to express my genuine gratitude to everyone who helped me yesterday to overcome a seemingly impossible situation. Sincerely, Megan Bradshaw

Windermere Property Management -- where your money disappears faster than your peace of mind."…read moreSo, I move out, expecting the usual refund for my deposit. Wrong. They took my deposit and then sent me a bill for an extra $2,000 in damages. No breakdownlists, no explanation, just a nice little "thanks for the cash" surprise. Apparently, Windermere has a unique approach to property management -- charge tenants for things that don't exist. How fun! If you want a masterclass in how to lose money, peace, and sanity all at once, then Windermere's your spot. But if you're looking for a company that actually values tenants or, you know, follows any kind of ethical standard, maybe keep looking.​

Westview Real Estate's handling of security deposits is truly fraudulent. They withheld 93% of my…read moredeposit for just one year of tenancy in a building built in 2003 and rented to tenants for over 20 years, without accounting for normal wear and tear. I requested both a comparison of the damage charges for the tenant who vacated the same unit in September 2024, to establish a baseline, and aggregate data showing the percentage of deposits returned to tenants in this building for 2024, but they have refused to provide it. The absence of a deposit appeal form or process, coupled with the inflated deductions, suggests that the organization operates in a fundamentally dishonest and exploitative manner. It's astounding that such practices are still happening in 2025. Renters deserve protection from this systematic and predatory process.

Please consider this before renting from this company. I was having trouble with my heat. The light…read moredid not come on in the themostat to indicate the heat was on and I couldn't feel hot air coming out. I also had several other things that needed maintenance. Someone came out to look at this issueue. I was told it was "user error" and was charged a fee for having someone look at it. I was told someone has to bear the cost (I guess it is the tenant!) and the vendor had to be paid for their time. Seems to me, that is simply a cost of doing business. When I objected to the charge, I was told it might have been waived but for my "tone". This is corporate America taking advantage of the small guy. It seems that if someone was there to also look at several other things, it is unacceptable to charge a separate fee for the heat check. Tacking on additional charges is how real estate companies increase their profits. Moreover, if the real estate company has their own maintenance team or a contract with the "vendor", those people have already been paid. I have asked to see the bill for this "service" but have not received it. Should they produce the actual bill, it will be interesting to see if they charged me more than the actual charge. It seems to me, the company would want to encourage a tenant to report issues but if a tenant does, they run the risk of being charged if they deem the issue is "user error".This is customer service at its worst.
