Out of nowhere, we received a "non-renewal of lease" email with no explanation. When my wife reached out for clarification, the company refused to provide details and wouldn't allow us to speak directly with the property owner. They vaguely mentioned that this usually happens if a property is being sold or transferred to new ownership. However, the same property we were forced to leave is now back on the rental market. We explained that this was an especially difficult time for us--our wedding and the start of graduate school fell during the same month they expected us to move out. We asked for an extension (30, 60, or 90 days--anything would have helped), but instead of receiving a phone call, we got a text message denying our request. The lack of professionalism and compassion was incredibly disappointing. As a result, we had to scramble to move and spend thousands of dollars unexpectedly. Thankfully, we've since found a property management company that offers far better communication and customer service. We will never rent from KC Hime Rental again, nor would we recommend them to anyone.

Ive been really patience and nice despite how I've been treated…read more Ive been living in their properties for around 4 months now. The first property I moved in didnt work because of the owner rules; one day i woke up to a man tiptoeing out of my kitchen. Me and my daughter was asleep on the couch. I immediately jumped and reached for my gun. In order to walk to the kitchen, he had to walk past me and my sleeping baby which didnt sit right with me. When I called Ellie's regarding this issue, some seemed apologetic & understood how badly that could have gotten while others stated it was out of their control because he was hired by the owner, which didn't sit right with me so management allowed me to transfer units. My current unit, Ive been in for around 3 months. Still managed my Ellie's. Since day 1 of move in there has been clear signs of mice & ant infestation. Ive made them aware of this day 1, sending them pictures/ videos. There are so many entryways due to amount of holes. The main one is the kitchen cabinet which also contains a ton of mold that has yet been addressed(also made them aware day 1) the cabinet has a HUGE chunk missing and it connects to the outside which is how they're getting in. Mind you, they moved me in knowing this. While inspecting the massive hole underneath the cabinet, I noticed blue bait which is more confirmation that they were aware of the infestation prior to me moving in. I found my 8 pound dog in the bathroom, eating that same blue bait. I looked under the bathroom cabinet and seen they laid some out there too. Again, confirmation that they KNEW. my final 2 strikes was seeing a mice run from my baby closet(on the SECOND FLOOR) that same day her face and eyes were so swole due to her being allergic. Then, at 7am while bathing my daughter, I seen a baby mice running from underneath my bed. Confirming the problem has now grew due to them not taking this issue seriously or making tenants aware of infestation BEFORE move in. I still have yet received a response from the property manager. The office answer every now & then but they are helpless because they have to go through management to get things done. The first week of me living here, they sent a pest guy that said he couldn't treat for the mice because it isnt his job to patch holes; he stated they will only keep coming back until they're patched by maintenance and only left 3 ant traps on the counter for me to sit out on my own. After weeks and weeks of calling about the mice again, they are wanting to send the same pest guy out who did nothing the first time. I spent the last few weeks preparing because now I am able to withhold rent: I have documented all communication on my end, all of the mice poof, ants, mold, doctor appointments, therapy documents, communication with previous tenants, etc. It's a violation to move someone into infestation especially while being aware! my 2 year old is allergic and still no empathy has been shown. No discount. No proper treatments. Rent is 1900 I decided to go up in rent to avoid things like this. it's only me & my daughter on the lease. Not me, my daughter, and a family of mice & ants . Something needs to be done! Every neighbor I have talked to, has them too which could be why Ive been ignored and treated like a nuisance. I'm not understanding why not take this serious considering there is so many airbnbs over here, my next step will be letting the guest know the area they're paying to be in is infested.

UPDATE: Leslie C. of this company claims that I should have…read morewritten this review 6 months ago. Interesting, as I didn't move out until end of April 2018, which was about 3 months ago. Nothing I have said has been exaggerated. Just look at other reviews, such as the "not recommended" Yelp reviews (especially these!), Google, etc. Many of these reviews say the same exact things I've been saying. There is an obvious pattern here. It's unfortunate that people who post with no previous reviews are automatically categorized as "not recommended," even though they're still legitimate - just that Yelp's algorithm categorized them that way. See those reviews here: https://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_reviews/national-property-management-group-lenexa-6 Besides, what would be the point of me exaggerating and lying? I have nothing to gain from doing so. Absolutely nothing. My review is simply serving as a warning to landlords and tenants alike. Time and time again, Leslie claims that all the landlords and tenants are in the wrong. I highly doubt that dozens of people who complain about this company are wrong. Please be informed before renting or working with this company - feel free to shoot me a message. Not to mention, there are plenty of people who do not post their negative experiences online, so there are likely other tenants and landlords that have had issues with this company. We actually did call them, text them, and e-mail them for issues last summer regarding a pest problem that I deemed an emergency. By the time it was actually dealt with, the rodent had escaped. We also didn't receive things that were promised (including regular HVAC check-ups and pest control!), yet they're claiming that we should have to contact the contracted company. Now they're claiming we're dirty people, and that's why we had a pest problem. No, there was a pest problem because the house is several decades old and has not been treated for pests and rodents. That is the responsibility of the landlord, not the tenants. We actually left the house CLEANER than when it was rented to us. I spent HOURS cleaning the house when we moved in because it was in terrible shape. Photos that document AFTER move-out condition do NOT document what was ALREADY THERE BEFORE MOVE-IN. This logic makes absolutely no sense. It is incredible how they conduct business, and Leslie's response is indicative of someone with no customer service, as stated in my original review. She will try to discredit you in all realms - including making grandiose comments, when it is their incompetency that caused a negative review to begin with. This behavior is extremely unprofessional and childish. ORIGINAL: I don't write reviews outside of restaurants very often, but I want to warn people about this poor excuse of a management company, especially as a tenant. If you find yourself in a rental by this company, be ready to deal with terrible customer service. Potential landlords, please find another company - literally any of them would be better than this one. Everything with this company is the "tenant's responsibility," despite things that were promised in the lease. What do I mean by this? If I wanted to maintenance my own home, I would have bought a house. We definitely paid enough in rent to do so. I have a full-time job and many other personal commitments/responsibilities, and their sole job is to manage properties, yet somehow, they don't? We specifically had a problem with the garbage disposal in the sink not working. We contacted them several times to get this rectified, and they claimed that they would have someone call us. Days and then weeks went by - nothing. We contacted more than once, but nothing was done. They have a serious problem with follow-through. "Well you didn't notify us." How many times do I have to notify you before an issue gets rectified? There's obviously a problem with your contractors. Fix it. I don't have time to babysit your contractors. We rent because it's convenient for our lifestyle and do not want to have a permanent dwelling at this time. They do not have any direct way to reach them, except by e-mail or text. So if you have an emergency, you have to wait until they decide they want to respond, which can be anywhere from hours to days. I don't know why they don't have someone answering phones during business hours, isn't that what they're paid to do? If you can't have at least one person to solely answer phones, then you should probably hire more people. They have to ask the landlord for permission on EVERYTHING. What's the point of being a management company if you can't manage the properties? It really slows everything down when you have to wait to hear back from the landlord to fix an issue. This company did not send a receipt or anything for why our full deposit was not returned. We were so tired of dealing with them, that we just said "screw it," and let it be.

Hiring Rent KC Now is a COMPLETE WASTE OF YOUR MONEY!!…read more We hired Leslie to manage the rental of our single family home. Since signing the contract it is nearly impossible to get more than a text message from her. She found renters rather quickly. When they moved in she did not attend the walk-thru and we received requests that things were dirty or broken that were absolutely not true. (As evidenced by when I try to confirm scheduling those work items, Leslie responds that they're no longer needed.) She forwards us emails from the renters regarding maintenance requests with little to no detail and cannot offer any further explanation. Then proceeds to take 30 - 60 days to send out someone to fix the items. I have now been waiting for 3 months to get receipts for things we have paid for and invoices to find out what we paid for. Keep your money and just call a handyman to do the maintenance yourself. At least that way it will get done. At this point it would be easier for me to talk to the renter directly than go thru Rent KC Now, they are useless. Let me add that in recent events it's gone from bad to worse, she is unprofessional: not returning phone calls, wanting to hold conversations via text because she's driving, speaking louder to talk over me rather than waiting until I've finished a sentence/question, not scheduling repairs with vendors and telling them "we have bigger problems now". She cannot follow chain of events in repairs and I have remind her where to find contact info for vendors and continue to request receipts for work completed. To quote a previous reviewer: I'm amazed she gets anything done. Use caution in relying on the BBB rating. When we filed a complaint, the response we received from BBB: "We can not handle the complaint because you have entered a mutually beneficial financial agreement with a business partner." Just look at all the other reviews of her business, 1 star on every single review post. (Except for the review she posted about herself to inaccurately inflate their rating.) I have also spoke with my tenants and they THANKED us for canceling our contract with Leslie because: "every time we called them with anything the gal was always VERY rude to us and took FOREVER to respond to any questions we had!" Also check out the additional reviews that Yelp filtered, there are some from both tenants and owners.
