I rented from Power Property in 2013-2014 for 10 months. I wanted to write this review because I had an overall good experience - in contrast to the other reviews.
PROS: Janice was the agent who showed me the property and she was kind and helpful answering my questions. The unit was freshly painted when I moved in and the carpets had been cleaned. I am picky, but this apartment was CLEAN. I paid rent online through their website (an automatic withdraw) and never had any problems. I had two plumbing issues while I lived there. On each occasion I reported the problem to the office, they called the maintenance man immediately, and the issues were fixed within 48 hrs (at no cost to me). I ended up breaking my lease to move to Chicago for a job, and Janice and Marcia helped me advertise for a new tenant to take over my lease. Upon move-out, I left the place immaculate and was not charged a single fee. I got my full deposit back on time and without hassle (despite breaking my lease--since another tenant took over).
CONS: While I WOULD rent from Power Property again, I docked two stars because:
(1) While I lived there, I worked 3rd shift and one morning about 9am I was awoken by a man removing the screen from my bedroom window--while the window was open. As a woman living alone, it completely freaked me out. I later found out this was the owner of the complex, but no one called me beforehand and I was flabbergasted that a screen would be removed from an open window. The screen was never replaced. I'm glad I was home and could shut and lock the window. The larger issue is that I would have appreciated a call letting me know, so that I wouldn't have had a moment of sleepy panic thinking a rapist-murderer was breaking in through my bedroom window.
(2) While I lived there, the AC went out in July. It took 10 days to get a new AC during which time I lived at a friend's house (it was over 100 degrees in my apartment). I will say, however, that it probably just took that long to book a repairman since it was a heat wave.
In my experience, Power Property is an honest rental management company and I would rent with them again (despite the weird window screen incident). Janice and Marcia were easy to work with and were helpful on the 3 occasions I had a maintenance request. read more
