Thank you! Same to you. Stressful is an understatement. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-19-08 |
I’m going through the same thing right now. I work night shift and my landlord wants to show my bedroom as I am sleeping. I’m a female so I don’t feel comfy with a bunch of random strangers coming into my room as I’m asleep that just seems wild | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
I'm so sorry. The realtor was just as mortified as I was when I explained the situation to her.
I woke up to scratching on my bedroom door that turned out to be her putting labels on our doors. I came out looking like a wreck hungover, and she ended up basically fighting the landlord in my stead. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
Hey guys everyone need to contact their state’s district attorney. If a pattern is found the district attorney will step in and investigate the business . I get itsucks but if we all report to the district attorney instead of BBB it’s more likely to get handled. The BBB does not and will not hold businesses accountable they simply offer a place to put out reviews that cannot be altered by the company. Please share around so we can help everyone out. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
We rented a home from Conrex which were bought out by Maymont homes. DO NOT RENT from these crooks. We had to find a place in a short time frame. Rent was 2395 plus security deposit , pet fees of 35 per month per pet. For a 1900 square ft older older home. They are now charging additional 3600 for so call damages. I consider myself a decent person making six figured income. We are clean good people. Now we will have to spend additional time and money to deal with these folks. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY !!! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Don't rent from Conrex/ Maymont Homes! These people are thieves will keep your deposit and send you a remaining balance for their not updated property. They charge you to paint their property! Along with a list of other ridiculous fees for their ALREADY DAMAGED PROPERTY! On top of that you can't speak to a person you have to send an email to dispute the charges and the fees. I rented from this company in Ohio. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-05-08 |
If you rent from these people make sure to take pictures before and after you move or you will be stuck with all charges. They even charge you for them having to paint their property. My advice is stay far away from Conrex/Maymont Homes. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-05-08 |
Hey guys just got an email from Maymont asking me to do a survey. These are the questions asked on that survey.
What is working well in your life to support your health and wellness (check all that apply)?
What are the primary sources of stress in your daily life (check all that apply)?
Overall, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole?
Which resource topics would you find most helpful for improving your performance and well-being (check all that apply)?
Are there any other wellness topics that you would like for us to explore?
I’m I crazy or do the questions seem like they are trying to identify people with mental health issue because they feel as if they are easy victims. I’m an Adult with Autism. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-12-08 |
**DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY:** My sister and I rented from Conrex/Maymont for two years. We are both in our 60's and took very good care of this property. First, they pick and choose what to fix and what to let slide when you report a problem. Second, the rent increases each year are ridiculous. They price you right out of a home. Third, they will charge you for the stuff that they didn't fix and make up the rest. You will never see your deposit and will owe them money on top of that. Maymont sent me a bill for $3,700 after we moved out! How a couple of old ladies could have caused that much damage in two years is beyond me. I am disputing the charges and will take them to court before I pay them anything. They owe me my deposit back. If you check the Better Business Bureau they have a 1.5 rating and have 17 pending cases against them right now. RUN away from this company as fast as you can. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-19-08 |

I’m looking for a service like this, the complex that approved me wants me to pay twice the monthly rent as the deposit. That’s almost $7k. I found out i had to move within 60 days since my current landlord increased the rent by $400. I have 2 jobs and just need more time to come up with the $7k. I have good rental history etc not every credit score reflects a persons true situation 😩 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-20-08 |

Hello, I am a reporter writing about this. I sent you a DM. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
That can actually be removed if you know where to go for help. I lost my husband in 2018 and that was the beginning of a whole lot of problems in my life. He was my support and it was really hard surviving as a single mother with 3 kids. Well, long story short, i was able to get my life together after i got my credit fixed by globalhackrevolutiongmail📥com, my past evictions and other negative items were successfully removed by them and i was able to get the right loans i needed to get back on track. Having a great credit comes with a whole lot opportunities as a business person. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-14-08 |

Corporate take over of housing. Doesnt matter if you are a perfeft tenant. It's not a person you are appealing to. But a corporate system where rent increases are part of the business plan.
My Grandfather was a landlord and he would often not raise rents even when he should cause he felt bad and liked them.
This will happen less and less. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-28-07 |
A tenant is supposed to use filters on the AC (for example), not using an ac filter will pretty much damage the coil in the long run. If the coil is ruinned, it can be costly. If there is negligence by a tenant and do not change filters, THEN the deductible comes into place. IT WAS because of damage beyond normal use. So yes, the deductible serves the purpose. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-15-08 |

Real question do you even make 3x rent to get into most of the places you manage | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-08-08 |
I’m the accountant here and I don’t live on site. But the people who work here and do live on site do need to make 3x the rent. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-08-08 |
I'm sorry but the 3x rent rule is ridiculious. NO ONE MAKES THAT KIND OF MONEY!!!! Why can't landlords and corporations get that. What landlords ask for is impossible, and is unattainable, ridiculious. Let alone people cant even survive out here due to inflation making it worse. There are struggling single moms out there, they are doing everything they can to survive, have issues with medically needy kids and live pay check to paycheck. Landowners better think again if the govt or even the state bothers helping people like us. Vouchers and resources out here in Ga are zero or shut off. Moms suffer because of it, and all landowners ever want is money to fill thier pockets. Gotta a message for landowners, why not you get a job or walk a day in a single persons shoes who is suffering trying to survive, to feed your child, pay for thier medicine out of pocket cause govt don't want to help. Then talk to me about oh how one needs money to put food on a table instead of paying some damn ridulcious 3x rent rule that landlords just made up for thier stupid benefits. There are honest to good people out here that actually take care of apartments that they are living in ya know. We poor people are not all trash like you think or judge because we just can't make enough money even though we are working. I am sick of how it is always about 3x rent, when people are desperate for housing. It is plain ass criminal, not fair housing practices that landowners or apartments managers are demanding. Get a freaking clue, and get off your damn high horse cause you are not more important than the next person. People can't afford 3x the rent especially when it is 1500 or 2500. No one makes that here in Ga not unless you are RICH. You can buy an actuall house or have a mortgage with that kinda money. It is just simple greed is all the landlords or landowners think about. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-15-08 |

You said you're a tech guy, where are tech jobs only paying 15 an hour? Most entry level IT county/city jobs in CA start at 35 an hour. Most of those places have taken on candidates with just security+ certs. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-28-07 |
Believe it or not.. it surprised me too.. but I've seen a number of salaried positions in tech for 40K or so.. that's about 20 an hour.

My entire family had to vacate in 10 days or pay back rent in full (that their ledgers showed differently then ours 3 months worth/partial amounts). We since vacated begin payments , and now have a 400$ cleaning charge, 63 something for blinds and another 55 for baseboards/paint . I get it but same breath they rushed us so much and that had not been stated in anyway. And we lost the deposit too ..
We're.. not sure what to do | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-13-08 |
I hope you figured something out.
I just made a similar post. The lady downstairs from me is harassing us. I have a 6 year old (honor student) and a 1 year old…so I really don’t think I’m being unreasonable.

Was just reading through this as I am in a similar situation with my previous landlord in SoCal. Was wondering if you ended up suing them. I received a similar letter, charging for cleaning ($280!!), paint touch ups and carpet cleaning (like you I left the place is very good condition and nothing beyond wear and tear). I lived there under 11 months... But their letter indicated I owed them $1600 (on top of my $1050 deposit)! The kicker is that I was in constant contact with them after receiving that letter, because it was clearly erroneous and the property manager only responded once, saying he was "looking into it". Never heard back and in June they sent me to collections! I'm so mad! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-21-08 |
Depends on the state. Where I live a minimum of 24 hours notice is required. And that’s regarding the short notice, they can’t make you stage shit | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-03-08 |

UPDATE....!
BISH FINALLY GOT TOWED 🥳😆.
As the K-12 school year came to a close, the gray battered school van had disappeared, and her black Civic replaced the van, occupying the same *Unauthourized* spot next to mine for the past month.
Somebody at one point left a fast food bag full of garbage on their hood/windshield area - because we all know that's an equitable brand of lazy that deserved that petty slight. Tehee.
I was just getting back from the stores when I encountered the tow truck removing this stubborn choice of my neighbors property and actions. Consequences. Everybody else followed directions.
That's All Folks.

*Hi Stardust\_Lynn,*
*Kate with Hemlane's team here, I'm truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been facing with your property manager and your maintenance needs. Hemlane is only a software platform that property managers and owners use to manage their rentals though, we do not directly manage the properties ourselves.*
*I know how frustrating it must have been not to have clear communication from your property manager when you needed it most, such as with repairs. Our teams would love to help you connect directly with your property manager regarding the issue and also assist you with opening a repair request within your Hemlane account, which also alerts your property manager to your concerns.*
*Please reach out to our Support team at* [*415-417-0314*](tel:4154170314) *or by email at* [*support@hemlane.com*](mailto:support@hemlane.com) *and please ask for me directly, Kate, and I'll be happy to personally assist you with contacting your property manager.*
*We're very sorry for the frustrations you've encountered but our goal is to help all our users with their rentals, I hope to hear from you soon! - Kate with Hemlane* | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-09-08 |

Hey there! Were you by chance using Call Realty? I am in a very similar boat. What ended up happening? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-09-08 |
Oof this was a long one but here goes (also mobile so I'll try and catch any errors but yeah).
TL:DR, we got $691 out of our $2950 and all they're guilty of, according to the lawyer verbatim is "the worst fucking customer service"
This was through Belong Home. I emailed them after the 30 days and demanded my full refunded, to which I got a reply saying "ope, sorry. Here's your full refund"
They initiated the payment, then canceled it. I asked wtf, and got "sorry, technical difficulties. You'll get it back soon." 5 days later I asked what's going on and was told that since we broke the lease, they can hold onto it until they find a new tenant.
July comes around and the app does not let me pay rent, but they have a tenant moving in on the 9th. I ask if they can just take the 8 days of rent out of the deposit. They tell me "after rent and repairs, your total is $691." I call BS, they agreed on not charging for repairs because they messed up. They agree and return an additional $750 for "cleaning fee refund"
I talk with a lawyer and he says I can either take them to small claims for the remaining 700ish dollars and possibly win, or let it be as they can legally charge a placement fee since I broke the lease. I decide to wash my hands of the company. Until, that is, they take that $750 back out of my account with zero authorization or communication.
I try my best to not write an angry letter but, as you can probably imagine, I'm pissed. I also scheduled to talk to the lawyer again but before that call happens, Belong gets back to me with another apology and a breakdown of cost. They sent me the 750 assuming I paid the cleaning fee, realized I didn't, then took it back. The breakdown of the refund was my full deposit, 2950, cut in half from the placement fee, $1475, minus the 8 days of rent, $784 dollars. That leaves my remaining deposit of $691. All of which is technically correct. They just fed me wrong wording, claiming repairs rather than placement fees and horrible communication in general.
The lawyer said that that is incredibly fucked up customer service, but at this moment we technically don't have a case. But if they take even a penny from me after this to call him back immediately.
I doubt this is helpful for you, and I'm sorry you're going through this too. Rental companies are the scum of the earth. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-09-08 |

I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine that anyone would do such a horrible thing . I have a furbaby and she means so much to me so I know how your feeling and a similar situation happen to me except they gave my King food with poison and he came in from outside frothing of the mouth and just minutes later calapsed. He died. 😔 it broke my heart into pieces 💔 People can be cruel so we have to remember to protect and make sure our pets/babies are safe and guarded at all times. My baby now she either with me in the house where I am, like I have a portable small gate I use to keep her always near me and when I'm not home she has to go in her kettle. It's for her safety and my peace of mind that she's not getting into anything.

Duuuuuude you need to amp up your ‘gift of fear.’ You are way too chill for what is going on. He didn’t even knock or NOTIFY you that he is coming by?
Set up a few waze cameras. Notice any underwear missing? Gone through? I’d stop sleeping there and I’d stop changing in the open. Look for cameras.
This is not okay for him to violate the lease like that. You’re in a literal business agreement. You’re treating this guy like some family member stopping over. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-21-08 |
YES THIS ❤️👍🏻 | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-21-08 |
He cannot spitefully change your prior written agreement. That’s called retaliation. All so he can’t pervertedly snoop around your room?
I’d like to see a landlord even try that with me. After anyone comes to my apt for maintenance , I check for cameras. And I constantly observe for etiquette. If the maintenance guy doesn’t respect a tiny space we’re both in while a show an issue, he won’t be coming back. But if he demos that he respects things he might think I’m not thinking about, then he can come back. Ie most landlords abd maintenance ppl won’t come in the small bathroom with me when I point to an issue that needs fixing. They wait until I walk out then walk in .
Most don’t even want the implication of something weird. Most landlords won’t step foot in my room unless I need to show them something. They lean in until given permission. That’s how they act in good faith as well if they are. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-21-08 |
For one, out of that situation.

Had this happen to me recently. I emailed the leasing office and went over my LL head. They said there’s an “invisible” line that vehicles shouldn’t pass. As long as my motorcycle and car don’t pass it, it’s ok.
I ended up moving my car to the street and parking 4 motorcycles in my spot. My LL now tells me I’m at the max for bikes. But I know I can still fit 2 more and still be smaller than a car for cars opening their doors. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-21-08 |

That’s a them problem, not a you problem.
You mention campus- does your school have free legal aid? I’d go talk to them (most do) and if not, whatever tenants group. You likely can withhold rent until it’s fixed, but how you withhold it and when you start depends on your state’s laws. You may also be able to deduct repairs and fix yourself. But again, when and how depends on local laws. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-06-08 |

I hope you’re aware that you are a terrible person and deserve the worst 🫶🏼 ESA’s are not a “farce”… there are people with actual disabilities and REAL letters from licensed medical providers should be accepted and is against ADA to not do so. PetScreening is invasive and asks what exactly is your disability, which is ILLEGAL (ADA) and they will definitely have a lawsuit headed their way in the near future. Stop being lazy and check the letters yourself and for the provider’s information to see it checks out. Landlords are scums. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Appreciate the kind words, if you need an animal for support then you need a service animal and not an ESA, ESAs are a scam; I’m a renter and a landlord
I have used petscreening as a landlord and as a tenant, it’s not invasive and it’s very reasonable, I’ll keep using it as a landlord, thank all the people with fake ESA letters
If you have a legitimate letter I don’t know why you care if you have to go through petscreening, it’s a free process for you if your letter is legitimate, I had to pay for it and I didn’t care, it makes sense | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I have used PetScreening and it is invasive when they ask what specific disability I have… landlords arent allowed to ask what disabilities a person has, goes against ADA guidelines and last I checked, HIPPA. By all means, keep using petscreening but they definitely have a few lawsuits coming their way. I’ve known people who have lost housing opportunities because the process is so lengthy with the back and forth (asking ur doctor time and time again to re write a letter doesnt take 1 hr, these people have jobs) so they lost their spot in an apt. They even act this way towards people with service pets, prying into their life and why they need a service animal. Literally no one owes you an explanation on WHY they need an ESA or service pet. Its immoral and obviously a way for landlords to continue making money when these people are forced to pay pet rent due to their applications being shut down (even if the letters are LEGIT). | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

Just wanted to second all of this \^\^\^. I have led an animal rescue organization, and (in hindsight) made the bad decision to offer a good volunteer housing in a rental I own. In return for below market rent, I got help mixing food (we fed a raw diet) for fostered animals. But the tenant took some advantages of me in recent years, adding new unqualified tenants and stopping the food arrangement entirely. So lesson learned is, to definitely set things out in a written agreement. Spell out who will do what. Make it a fair arrangement. That way, everyone wins. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
ok we sent both via USPS certified mail. They mailed us a letter saying since we havent made any payment arrangements they may be sending it to the credit bureau's. So I call their bluff? if they do I dispute stating they sent no evidence as requested? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-27-07 |
Google "fight the collections agencies" there will be dozens of articles on exactly what to say and how to send it. You can literally sue a collection agency if they violate the FCRA. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-27-07 |
ok thank you! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-28-07 |
iheartkarma619,
I appreciate your passion on this issue (being a small landlord myself). But in this period, landlords that try to sell their woes to tenants are not going to win. You might be a great, and nice landlord but there are too many corporations involved that are sticking it to tenants now.
If you want to fight against prop 33 (Justice for Renters), appeal to the CA apt association, or other local landlord groups to try to mount a media campaign. If the polls indicate prop 33 will win, you should raise rents to market rates PRIOR to the vote, even if it is painful for your tenants. You can officially raise their rents and give them a "discount" initially so they pay the same but protect you against vacancy control, this might be your last chance at market rates.
And remember it is hard to know how any prop vote in CA will go. Renters are less likely to vote. We shall see. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Long Beach, Anaheim or Oakland?
I mostly agree with-your comments about rentals.
But I find it annoying that every time I read about "best run cities vs worst run cities", states, what have you - cities like LINCOLN NEBRASKA are always ranked #1 with LA, San Francisco and Seattle at the bottom. Yeah lets all move to LINCOLN Nebraska. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
you are completely uneducated. Plenty of localities in California had vacancy control prior to Costa Hawkins and outlawing vacancy control opened things up considerably in those cities - Berkeley for one.
What did happen in Berkeley was, prior to CH - Berkeley had very few rentable units all of which were priced at half of rents everywhere else in the Bay Area. After C-H, rents did go up but supply increased exponentially so were there increases yes but not that bad and a lot more units and it was more fair. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
yeah I'd be fine with that. "Vacancy Control" is what gripes me. No rent control on houses or post 95 properties seems like a true hole in the law that they could fix. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
wow are you clueless.
Berkeley pre-1995, Google it. Vacancy Control in action. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Thanks, I’m trying a different tactic since most tenants (not mine, they get it) have no idea what they are actually supporting. They just hear Tenant Protections or Justice for Renters.
But I can’t raise rents to market with the current rent raise limits in place. Many units will take ten plus years to get there. The fact that corps have always been the ones sticking it to tenants yet tenants voted for these protections which did nothing to protect them from corps or actually help them with renting period is maddening.
Most people have no idea what they are actually voting for especially when it comes to this issue.
I am passionate because I’ve seen my city go bonkers with rent control which has done literally nothing to help reduce rents OR homelessness.
Where did all the money go? The mayor is a coward as are all the city council people.
I will wait it out for the pendulum to swing as it always does.
I support many groups who are pushing for these ridiculous laws to change (again, I’m all for fair and reasonable tenants’ rights, but there is nothing fair or reasonable happening in San Diego on this issue).
I have asked for a simple phone call or meeting to discuss these issues no less than 20 times and blasted all the news channels.
Trying to think outside the box to get people to understand how messed up this system truly is.
I still think it’s completely screwed that corps get a pass on rent control for 15 yrs assuming they get a certificate of occupancy within past 15 yrs (they all do), leaving smaller landlords to get out altogether selling their properties to corps who will tear down and rebuild very expensive units, leaving even fewer options for renters. Combine that with all the foreign money buying up single family homes for the golden visa program and/or Zillow price fixing entire neighborhoods, I mean, shit. It’s no wonder tenants and home buyers are pissed but they are aiming that anger at the wrong people.
I wish real journalism existed where someone actually gave a crap to investigate what’s really going on here in SD. So much has changed in just a few years with nothing to show for it (ie reduced homelessness or lower rent). Math ain’t mathin’. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Name the cities that had vacancy control and the time frame in which they did then. Probably a reason there. Also just sell then.
So you’re claiming once Berkeley had CH new units were built and that was only possible because of CH? Yet we’ve had CH for 30 years now and have seen a decline in newly built units? CH didn’t even apply to newly built units so I’m not sure why CH is was in the equation for your argument. Unless it’s cuz you think without CH they will do rent control on new units? It’s a possibility, but not set in stone. That would depend on area.
The current rent control under CH is too high. 8-10% a year is unnecessary. If we can make being a landlord not as profitable then less people would do it. And that’s what I’d rather have. Clearly they aren’t building new units with CH here tho. Not sure why that’s your argument to keep it the way it is. And yeah rents did go up 8-10% a year. And since CH didn’t apply to newly built buildings they skyrocketed in cost, which affected the market. I’ll tell you what I told the others, just be more business savvy. Don’t buy homes to rent out in localities that are majorly renters. Cuz they will vote in their favor. We’ve seen what CH has done for 30 years, just rampant inflation due to an allowed 8-10% yearly increase. Only landlords are upset that they could lose that ability to raise rents on occupied homes or unoccupied homes. Again the point of view for the renter would be let’s have less landlords and more owners. Then you wouldn’t be outnumbered either anymore lol.
Luckily we all get to vote on this. And nothing you can say, or as much as you try to insult my intelligence would change my point of view. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
lol one city? Is that where you live? Berkeley? That’s why you’re freaking out? Refer to my other comment to you. You’re clearly clueless that renters don’t give a fuck that landlords are upset by the loss of CH. you’re clearly clueless that renters are going to vote in their favor, n once a market becomes 51%+ renters, they’ll typically win, meaning be smarter and don’t buy your rentals in those zones then. I bet you raised your rents the maximum yearly. Just be more business savvy and sell then, if it’s not profitable, sell.
I hope all your worse fears come true lol
But more than likely the vacant control would happen in a few cities, again majority renter cities, or cities that didn’t see any building happen when your precious CH was around. Even tho you claim so much was built cuz CH. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
