So if you haven't noticed already this is the first post that http://www.rankmypropertymanagement.com is making. We are also known as http://www.rankmypropertymanager.com :)
If you haven't checked out the website already make sure you do. The website has 3 primary elements.
1.)Rating property managers or landlords.
2.)Reviewing property managers or landlords.
3.)Discussing your experiences and finding answers to your questions.
The website provides a free service and our primary users are students living on or off campus. However this does not exclude non-students. We are a free resource so we encourage you to stop by and leave a review or ask a few questions on our forums.
In a nutshell, this is why I started my website.
Once upon a time I was living in Bellingham at a property managed by 'Anonymous property management'. They were plenty nice at the time of signing but maintenance was horrible. The maintenance guy would even break things in our house when trying to fix problems in our apartment. At the end of the lease our property manager did everything they could to keep our deposit including charging us for something that the maintenance guy even confessed to doing when it happened. At the end of the day we filed a small claims court appointment which was scheduled for 6 months after our vacation. A week before our court date the opposing property manager decide to file a continuance. This moved our court date 9 months further. We showed up at our court date and ended up losing because everything although we had great points according to the judge, the points were invalid because these things were part of the contract. We had 3 very strong arguments which seemed to not stand a chance against a money hungry property manager and I came to realize that this would be the case almost all the time. Rather than being upset I decided to start this website on behalf of all of those people who have lost money or time being abused OR being treated fairly by their landlord/property manager.
Anyways this post is long. Stay in touch for more updates!
