There are much better real estate management companies like Blue Summit. The reviews already cover my complaints. Do your own research and choose wisely.
Update: incased a star. Communication is a bit better.
I fell in love with the house i was renting from this property management. I signed a year lease on May 16th 2016 thinking the end of my lease would be May 16th, 2017. That wasn't the case. After that i would automatically go month to month should i decide to stay. In April of 2017 they gave no option of notice to vacate, but instead began sending me letters of notice to vacate in the month i thought I'd only have to pay half months rent. When they told me i was responsible for the full months rent because my month to month started in May, i bit the bullet because i was planning to stay a while longer.
A few days after i paid the other half, they sent me an email saying the owner of the house wanted me to sign another year lease rather than go month to month, even though month to month was what was agreed upon at the beginning. I obliged and said that another year would be fine, as i had a 5 year old son and a baby on the way.
A few more days pass, and they tell me they think the owner wanted to sell. They gave me until the end of May to be out....
Seeing as how i had no options, i made arrangements and moved back home and got a storage unit. About 6 days into June, i check Craigslist and they have the house i was renting listed.... When i emailed about it, they said the owners appraisal didn't go the way they'd hoped and they decided to rent for another year. I asked if that meant i could just come back and i got no response for 2 days. I emailed again asking if i were coming back since i hadn't gotten my deposit back and they told me the owner decided to rent to a FAMILY MEMBER.
That information told me their plans were premeditated and rather than telling me upfront they made up a lie about wanting to sell. They had no legitimate reason to evict me, they had rent early every month and i was a great tenant. So they had to lie about it to get me out.
She told me my deposit was on its way and out of $1500 i only got back $455. I paid all utilities in the end and they still deducted $83 from my deposit for the water bill. When i called about it they said they were waiting to be refunded by the city before any checks could be sent to me.
DO NOT RENT FROM WINDERMERE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. They are unprofessional and unethical, only taking money anywhere they can.
