DO NOT RENT from Premier Properties. Not only did they fail to get my ex-roommates last months rent when she gave her 30day notice (which they required me to pay off in order to continue living here), but they also altered the Tenant Ledger Report, taking my roommate off completely. It now says that I have lived here since 2009. I moved into the building in 2012. They have also replaced my roommates name with mine, making it look like I had been late on rent from time to time, showing that I had paid my own rent, plus a second check after the due date (my roommates rent check).
In a second incident, they told my new roommate that he had paid his rent late. When he disputed this, they made him pay a late fee in order to stay in the apartment anyway, saying he had paid on the 8th, instead of the 5th. On the ledger report, they had posted that he had paid that late fee one month before it had even happened and had changed it to make it look as though I was the one that actually was late on the rent, trying to pit my roommate and I against each other. The very next month they tried yet again to acquire a late fee for rent that was turned in on time, saying that it was once again late. This time they skipped accusing my roommate and came straight after me, saying it was I that was late. According to their "own" records, it had shown that I paid the rent right on time, with them receiving it on the 6th of the month, which is within 5 days from with the rent was due, making it on time.
Once again my roommate and I disputed this false claim and reported them to the BBB and FHA, at which point they retaliated illegally serving us a 60 day notice.
"Any form of retaliation within 180 days of a formal complaint is illegal."
"According to Califonria Civil Code. (CC, § 1350 et seq.) Section 10 of the Civil Code states that the time within which any act provided by law is to be done is computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last is a holiday, and then it also is excluded. (See also Code of Civil Procedure § 12 and Gov. Code, § 6800.) Under the rule, the first day of the signing of an instrument or the happening of an event is excluded, and the counting of the time period starts on the following day. (Ziganto v. Taylor (1st Dist. 1961) 198 Cal. App. 2d 603 (construing CCP, § 12). The general rule of exclusion of the first day and inclusion of the last is not merely a rule of procedure for the court system. It applies to any act required by law unless the particular statute specifically provides otherwise. (Mox, Inc. v. Leventhal (3d Dist. 1928) 89 Cal.App. 253.) It also applies equally to acts permitted by law. (Scoville v. Anderson ((1901) 131 Cal. 590.) That means that it applies to CCR's unless the CCR's themselves provide an exception. Therefore, if rent is due on the first, it is not late until after the 6th."
So if for some misguided reason you decide to rent from Premier Properties, just remember, they will falsify documents, make false accusations and attempt to illegally charge you wrongful late fees.
There is also a large amount of black mold in the apartment, which they refused to take care of, broken light fixtures and a broken sink which has been reported numerous times, without any attempt of them fixing them. The landlord is also VERY rude about everything and will verbally attack you, no matter what your question or concern happens to be. read more
