Welcome Home Property Management

This property management company has a poor reputation among the community, but i decided to give them a chance to prove/disprove it themselves. I found a property that i liked, but it had a number of large issues from the previous tenant, such as cat urine soaked carpets throughout, tire tracks through the yard, broken shelves in the fridge, damage to walls, etc...and so i worked with a few individuals, and was promised that (a) i was first in line for the property; (b) i could move in on a particular date; (c) all repairs would be made prior to lease signing and (d) that i could view the property again AFTER repairs but before signing lease to make sure the repairs were all complete (i asked for that because of the reputation they have in the community for failing to make repairs after you sign the lease). A mere THREE days after these promises were made, i was on Craigslist by sheer coincidence and noticed that the property that was supposed to be mine already was newly listed as available!! In a panic, i called the office and was told in no uncertain terms that they were still seeking other tenants and if they found one that was willing to take the place sooner than me, that i would be out of luck (despite the promised move in date we agreed upon), and they weren't even going to tell me that they were doing this until AFTER they replaced me!!!! If i hadnt noticed this myself, i could have ended up homeless! Also, they told me that my previous agreement to sign after repairs was no longer valid and if i wanted the place i had to sign immediately (FISHY at best). I had a cow and told them this was UN-professional at best, but because i did like the place, i ended up agreeing. I then proceeded to attempt to contact a manager/owner to see if i could receive assurances that these repairs would be done. They caught wind of my search and called me the next day to tell me that they were "cancelling" my lease and did not wish to rent to me--all because i was asking them to do what they are LEGALLY obligated to do by making repairs and keeping promises to potential tenants. Long story short, this company certainly dis-proved their reputation--they were way WORSE than what i had even heard! DO NOT RENT WITH THESE PEOPLE. No property is worth the endless frustration you will experience and the sheer lack of professionalism is STAGGERING. If you decide to rent with them, please follow other reviews, and get all repairs done up front, take pictures and be prepared for the worst customer service you can imagine!! So disappointing......
