I too am writing this review due to Premier Property Management sending me an email offering to enter me into a $100 drawing off my rent to post a 5 star review for them on Yelp. To me, this compromises the integrity of the reviews on Yelp and doesn't give people a fair shot when they're trying to determine the type of experience they may have. With that said, I'll provide my review of Premier Property Management:
I have been a renter for over a year and a half. My family and I had few options available when we were looking for properties to rent and settled on this one due to the size of the home and price. Our initial thought on the house was that it seemed nice and somewhat kept up, albeit a little dated. It wasn't until we did the initial walk through that I realized that the maintenance on the this home was not of high quality. Like I said before, we had few options, so we went with it. I will give them credit as to our initial move in as to some of the repairs that had to be made. This included some tile work in the master bathroom due to it being cracked, replacing a toilet tank, and repairing the sliding glass door to the backyard. The repairmen for the door had to be called multiple times due to them doing a poor job on the initial repair. Also, the refrigerator had a large crack on the bottom shelf making it virtually useless. Luckily, I was moving a refrigerator from my old home and used it instead.
Within a few weeks of moving in, the beat up dryer that they placed in the home ended up dying. They called a repairman who came to fix it, but eventually ended up replacing the dryer with a new one. Next came a water leak that went from the master bathroom, through the walls, into the downstairs living room. When the plumbers came out, they found the shower head was broken off inside the wall and fixed it. Not without cutting a hole in the wall of the room behind it. Once the wall was repaired, someone was supposed to come paint over it but no one did. I ended up doing the painting. I might add that the repair of the leak took approximately a week, therefore leaving us without the shower for that amount of time.
Approximately 6 months within moving into the home, we started having an ant problem. When I say ant problem, I don't mean a few here or there on the kitchen counter. We literally encountered trails of ants in every single room of the home including coming from the shower spout, under the carpet in the upstairs rooms, from under cabinets in bathrooms, the kitchen and the wet bar. I sprayed bug spray and called them to report it. They did send an exterminator for one time, though they were sure to tell me that any additional visits would be on my own dime, and then suggested that I buy bait traps at Home Depot to combat the problem. In my experience, ants coming from every room in the home is not an isolated problem that can be fixed with a few bait traps.
We also had the microwave door handle break. This should have been expected as all of the appliances in the kitchen appear to be the original appliances from when the house was built in 1990. After reporting it, it took them over a week which included a visit by their repair person and me having to take several photos of the microwave and email them to get them to figure out that they had to replace the microwave and finally get a new one installed.
Lastly, the dishwasher installed in the house does not actually wash the dishes. In Las Vegas, we have some of the hardest water I've ever seen. Therefore, it has a tendency to calcify within appliances that use it and aren't cleaned regularly. Obviously, the dishwasher has not been cleaned on a regular basis because every time we wash dishes, the plastics come out dirtier than before they went in. I called to have the dishwasher looked at. They sent a repairman that basically told us that since it turns on, fills with water and empties, that it works. He even said that it looked calcified and that we could try some of the cleaners, but that even those probably wouldn't work. Low and behold, I bought the cleaner from the store and the dishwasher doesn't even heat the water up hot enough to melt the seal and let it clean. So much for that option. Then, the timer stopped working which would make the dishwasher continue to run over and over. Again, we called and again they sent a repairman. They concluded that the part needed replacing, which cost them $375 plus the $60 service fee. Did I mention this was a 20+ year old dishwasher that didn't clean dishes in the first place? I would have taken the cheapest replacement they could have provided as it would do a better job.
Premier relies heavily on their warranty company and if they won't approve the repair/replacement, good luck ever getting it done. I know they're a business and are trying to make money too, but at what point does the tenant get what they're paying for and promised in the lease? read more
