What an incredibly lousy property management company this is! My boyfriend and I rented a house with Midwest PMI for two years, and we know we were the ideal tenants. We didn't cause any problems, rarely asked for anything, and took AMAZING care of our home. We even made improvements to the house on our dime (painted the entire front porch and all exterior trim, had the floors professionally cleaned regularly, always had a clean cut yard, always kept up with all basic home maintenance ourselves, etc.) We even had maintenance guys from the Midwest PMI team straight up tell us at inspection times that our house was one of the cleanest and best looking properties they had seen. We also paid full rent exactly on time or early every month. We were never late for anything. As many other reviews state, our time while living at our house was pleasant. Anytime we needed something, Jennifer Tate in their office was super friendly and got us taken care of. One thing this company sure doesn't care about is returning your security deposit at move out when you absolutely deserve it, though! They literally have written on papers that are given to you when you move in that state they will "do everything they can to help you get your security deposit back." LIES! We did absolutely EVERYTHING AND MORE that was asked of us when it was time for us to move out. We left our property in excellent condition. At our move out inspection, the inspector that was with us literally said that the property looked great and we shouldn't have any concerns about getting our security deposit back. Several weeks after we vacated the property, we get a letter in the mail that says we are getting $0 out of security deposit back along with a BS list of what we were being charged for. I say it was BS because the list of charges added up EXACTLY to equal what our full security deposit was... ironic, huh? I disputed this with Jennifer Preston in their office, who I believe is their main property manager. I had proof as to how the things we were supposedly being charged for were crap. I sent documents from our move in inspection, pictures with dates, and receipts with dates that listed items I had recently replaced, but they still wanted to come back and act as though I was the crazy one. Should I also mention that trying to get ahold of these people during this whole battle was a complete fiasco. I had to call multiple times a week to get answers. I'm confident that my calls were purposely not being returned. To fast forward a little bit, Jennifer Preston eventually told me she'd dispute my move out charges with the owner of our house, Mark Jones, who also happens to be the CEO of PMI Midwest. Mark came back and agreed to give me THIRTY dollars back out of my security deposit. LOL. Do these people REALLY think I would go through so much hell over THIRTY bucks?! No, I was fighting for hundreds of dollars that we worked out rear ends off to earn. Might I also mention that this was 6 months ago and I NEVER received any form of payment, which also goes to show how greedy, inconsiderate, disorganized, unprofessional, and pathetic these people are. Mark Jones and his team certainly were not entitled to my security deposit money. I was on my way to take this scum company to small claims court, but didn't quite make it that far due to some unexpected family circumstances that has had to be top priority. I don't even care to try to do that anymore, because why would I waste anymore of my time, energy, and money on such a worthless establishment. So, the point is, if you are looking into renting or already are renting with PMI Midwest, go ahead and plan to never see your security deposit funds again. How well you maintain your property and whether or not you complete their ridiculous "move out checklist" is entirely irrelevant. Why do them favors only to get screwed over? OR if you have the option, please do business elsewhere. read more
