Title: Beware of RENU
I will keep everyone updated
UPDATE: Dear Renu Management, 05/16/2024
I am writing to address the recent notice we received on 01/23/2024 regarding charges for damages and repairs at 3084 Elora Lane, which was our residence until 12/28/2023.
On, I received a phone call from Aaron Rodger stating that I must pay $6,191.20, which was then reduced to approximately $5,800, and finally to $3,500 within five minutes. This abrupt demand is concerning, especially since I have been trying to reach Kathy and pastdebtcollections@renumgt.com for almost a month about these rent charges and the outstanding bill. It is disheartening to receive a response only after posting a negative review and to be threatened with potential credit implications if payment is not made immediately.
I have previously sent pictures and communicated with Chase Oliver and the resident move-out team, demonstrating that the house was left cleaner than when we moved in. Despite this, I continue to face pressure to pay an amount without a proper review of the evidence I provided multiple times. I am still unsure who the appropriate contact is, as I am repeatedly directed to the resident move-out team without receiving adequate responses.
On January 29, 2024, Chase Oliver left me the following message: I quote
"I will review this account. I believe there may be an error.
Allow me an opportunity to further review and I will be in touch.
I see the issues; you are listed under two addresses: one with a zero balance and this one with the balance due for 3084 Elora Lane, Fairfield Township, OH 45011. The email sent to Resident Moveout is the right next step. We will allow their review and proceed from there. Thank you for your patience, they do get busy so it may take some time before you hear back." He never Called, emailed, or texted back...
LAST WEEK
If you're considering renting with RENU, please take heed of my cautionary tale. My experience with them was nothing short of a nightmare.
Upon moving from Ohio to Texas, I entrusted Atlas as my property management. Little did I know RENU would take over the lease in the last two or three months or so. It took them a staggering three months to address a water leak in my front yard, during which time water flowed down the street unabated. Despite my repeated calls, including conversations with Lori regarding the leak, they did not come out to fix it until the water company shut off our supply. I was in the midst of moving to Texas with RENU, unaware of the challenges that awaited me.
I won't delve into the details of the move just yet, but when I left the house, RENU sent me a jaw-dropping bill of over $5,200 for damages they claimed were present in the house that I had moved from.
Thankfully, I had the foresight to document everything with photos and videos before leaving. These pieces of evidence proved invaluable when disputing their claims. RENU, the agency I subsequently dealt with, attempted to paint a grim picture of the state I left the house in. However, thanks to my thorough documentation, their allegations were swiftly debunked.
My advice to anyone dealing with property management: do not leave without thoroughly documenting every nook and cranny of your property. Take photos, take videos, leave no stone unturned. It may seem tedious at the time, but it could save you from a world of headaches later on.
In conclusion, RENU's negligence and lack of transparency have left a sour taste in my mouth. Here are SOME of the charges that they charged me and here are the pictures that I took before leaving:::::: read more
