Business ProfileforReal Property Management Pros

If you are a tenant considering renting a property managed by Real Property Management Pros or a landlord considering utilizing them, I would strongly advise against it. Application process: application fee that is nonrefundable whether or not you’re selected for the property. If you have pets: Be prepared to pay a pet application fee, nonrefundable pet leasing fee, and a monthly pet fee. In one year I had to pay $760 just to have a pet live there, and an additional $300 for required carpet cleaning from their approved vendor at move out. Lease: The contents of the lease are filled with hidden fees and ridiculous tenant expectations. You must pay ~$40/month for the “Benefits Package” that provides a fraction of that value and you cannot opt out. They didn’t supply the air filters promised in the “Benefits Package” for over 10 months and repeated requests and refused to provide a refund. The lease requires tenants to pay for house and gutter cleanings prior to move out and you can only use vendors from their approved list. We paid over $900 in cleaning costs to their approved vendors. The gutter cleaning was entirely unnecessary—their approved vendor was at the property less than 20 minutes and charged $30 Move Out/Security Deposit: After paying the high rates to their approved vendors for cleaning services to get the full security deposit back, over $200 was deducted for overpriced charges on normal wear and tear. For example: $30 to replace two normal light bulbs; $25 to replace a cheap, plastic light switch cover. Because these deductions were exorbitant I asked for a receipt to demonstrate the costs were legitimate and they ignored my request. They also waited until the last possible day to legally mail my check and made an error requiring a new check to be issued, so it took two months from move out to receive the funds. Property management companies and landlords have a bad reputation, and companies like Real Property Management Pros are the cause
