    They changed my account ledger to remove a payment I made. This resulted in me owing them money. Prior to the change, they would have owed me $4-500. I have documented proof with an ACH payment # for the transaction that was scrubbed.Furthermore, none of the dates on the account ledger match the original records kept from my tenancy.During my tenancy, they left equipment and materials to be installed in front of the property for months. This included entire sets of windows for a three-building three-story apartment complex.There were several break-ins and despite having cameras, they refused to check them or assist tenants with determining who was responsible.Finally, they are IMPOSSIBLE to contact via phone. ALL of their phone numbers go direct to voicemail and they do not return phone calls. The "President" of the company is quick to brush off any calls and provides phone numbers to his unresponsive brokers.This is a **** league property company. Do not be confused by their marketing talk of having "multi-asset" classes--they have a dozen run-down apartments in ******* that no reputable PMC wants to touch and ONE residential house in their "portfolio.' Do not be confused by the author-less "testimonials" on their website. They want to act like a corporation when it benefits them and a small business when it benefits them. They have neither of the pluses and only the downsides of both company types.My experience is not unique as many of the issues I faced and brought up have been encountered by others.
