My neighbor told me that this was one of the worst management places in The Valley and I prayed he was just joking... But, the way things are looking, he might be right...
Valley Income Properties started managing the apartment complex I live in around the fall. When they switched over, there was a minor issue with getting my account credited because they switched platforms. They waived the late fees, I was able to pay, all good. But that was after calling and speaking to multiple people and leaving voicemails that never got responded to. That was my first introduction to them and their management team... Not a very good introduction.
Second time around, my lease was ending and I figured I'd move out instead of renewing the lease because rent was going up like $150!!! I put in my Notice to Vacate (which was a 60-day notice, which took me by surprise because in Vegas it's just 30-days-- so I would've had to wait an extra 30-days for my lease to end because I was late putting the notice in) and prepared to move. A few weeks later, I got a text from the site manager saying that if I revoked my Notice to Vacate, my rent wouldn't go up. So, I revoked the notice. As I really enjoy where I stay. I love the location (smack down in the middle of Downtown Phoenix).
Fast forward to a couple of more weeks, my current lease is ending, so it's time to renew and sign the new documents. But, to my surprise, this new lease does not reflect what I was promised via text message. So, I didn't sign it. Long story short, I called and spoke to multiple people and left multiple voicemails, for no action to be done. So, I went to the office TWICE to get this settled, in person, because rent is right around the corner.
The first time I went, I was told I needed to have an appointment... How tf do I make an appointment? As many times as I've spoken to yall, not one time did any one mention coming down to make an appointment *___* why y'all didn't ask if I wanted to make an appointment?!
Nonetheless, the lady was very sweet and helpful. She took detailed notes and passed along the message, assuring me this would get fixed right away. She was def a vibe. A couple of hours pass and I get an email about my lease being canceled and that there's a new one pending that needs a new signature. So, I'm like cool, they FINALLY fixed it! WRONG! I opened the new lease just to see that it was the same exact lease that I didn't sign before. BIG WOMP. This p!ssed me off. I had to wait a day to cool down before making my way back out to the office the following day.
Time two at the office, and I'm not leaving until this gets fixed! I got back and there's a different lady today. Not a vibe like the last one, and I'm starting to loose my patience I've explained this situation a gabillion times. She then has the AUDACITY to say, "no, rent went up, you have to pay it in full." I almost flipped my lid at this point! She then tells me to take a seat so the assistant could help me...
He comes out and I tell him the situation, he remembers that it's me, because I've spoken to him like 3 times over the phone. Like, at this point everyone should know fckin know me cause like wtf I talked to like 8 different people... Anyways, he apologizes and he goes back to fix me lease and asks for me to wait. I wait about 10-15 mins, I get an email that my lease was cancelled and I have a new one pending, needing a signature. I check it and HALLE-FCKIN-LUJAH if the right amount!!! It's about d@mn time!!!
My lease ended in April but was extended to May due to the 60-day Notice. DUMB. So, I've been trying to get this settled since the beginning of May!!! Rent is due next week y'all!!! I've made so many calls and left so many messages and for NOTHING!!! I had to physically go there and fckin wait until something was done about it. What a shame. A SHAME!!! I miss Johnathan from Golden Mountain Real Estate, he would neva! He always called/emailed me back if I had an issue, and he handled things in a timely manner, 2-3 days top!
I'm not a problematic tenant, like at all! I'm quite, I keep to myself, I pay my rent, like why tf they got me going through this bs?! I pray I go the rest of the year without needing to contact them cause this was too much. They're only getting a 2 star because my situation did finally get situated, but this was honestly a 1-star experience. I do not recommend. read more
