What the tenant had to say:
LANDLORDS BEWARE!!!!
THESE ARE THE RUDEST MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGERS I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS IN MY 15 YEARS OF OWNING RENTAL PROPERTIES!!!!
I am quite sure they never actually did quarterly inspections and I was never contacted by the same manager twice. This apparently was due to a large turnover of staff..... The next reason given was the introduction of a "team". Only problem being that the "team" never communicated with each other!!!!
All of my tenants cheered when told I had changed companies.

What the tenant had to say:
Never again will I rent a property through this agent

The person in charge of our property changed 4 times over 18 months, never got to deal with the same person more than twice

Took 3 goes to get a singe name changed on the lease (they sent it back to use unchanged twice)

They sent an unlicensed handy man to fix the leaking laundry sink

We damaged the side fence – we were upfront about it and knew it would come out of the bond but it took 2 months to get it fixed and that was only after I gave our neighbour the agent number and got him to complain to them as they were not responding to us

At our final inspection – which I was present for the person doing the inspection told be everything was fine and signed off on his inspection form – the next day I get a phone call telling me half a dozen things were not done and X amount was being taken out of our bond – I told him I was in the area today and could meet him to discuss this and even pop around the house and fix some things but he wouldn’t have a bar of it.

Now I know to document everything that happens

Ben Says: I had this happen to me, The agent claimed that the place wasn't clean enough and (I know for a fact it was spotless) They took $100 from our bond. We needed up taking the Tribunal on principal and we won, the agent didn't even have the guts to show up.

Kordos Says: I should add - we knew that some of the bond would go towards mending the fence, the agent then took off extra on top of that Ben - we almost did take it to the tribunal but unfortunately we had no documentation to back us up and all 4 of us had moved apart it wasn't worth the time and hassle over about $50 each
