If something happened to my car in secure underground parking garage in my apartment building , is property management responsible for anything ?
I talked to friend of family who is manager if big management organization , and I was told that they are 100% liable. But somehow management company for my building is denying it.
Thats why I wanted an opinion of from people who know sure answer.

I moved into my apartment over three years ago. I am leasing a condo from a property management group.

I have a dog, and I was allowed to have the dog at this property because the carpet was already stained. This was not written on my lease, and the woman that I leased from no longer works for the company. This worries me, after reading some of the questions and answers on here. I wonder if they will try and pin the stains on me. I do have photos of the carpet from when I moved in, but they are not dated. Is this a problem?

The company that I am leasing from seems a little shady—I have long hair and have called twice regarding hair clogs and they told me that from now on, if I call about a hair clog that I will have to pay the plumber. My lease says nothing about maintenance being my responsibility.

Currently I am living there without having a signed lease—I signed for the first year, but have not re-signed in the two years additional years I have been there. #1 I don’t want to get stuck with them if I can find a much better deal, or even purchase. And, #2 I don’t want them to be able to raise my rent, which they tried to do when they sent the second year lease—which I didn’t sign.

I am trying to redecorate because I am planning on staying until I can get most of my finances worked out, but this carpet just looks nasty. I have rented and used a carpet cleaner from the grocery twice, but the large stain keeps reappearing and the carpet itself is starting to look frayed in that spot, because it’s taken so much to get that stain out (but it keeps reappearing!)

Here are my questions:

How can I get a greasy/oily stain up— and keep it gone?
Can I ask them to replace the carpet?
Should I worry that they will try and pin the stains and runs on me?
Will I get my security deposit back? If not, can they actually charge me more?
If I can’t get rid of the carpet, how can I cover it effectively? Just rugs?
If they try and argue with me, would my pictures hold up in court?

Thanks for the help!

I live in state college, pa (home to penn state university) where a majority of the student apartment and house leases are run by one company, Associated Rental Property Management. If you ask anyone around town for their opinion of ARPM, it will be assuredly negative. They overcharge for repairs. their maintenance crews walk through bedrooms and what not each week. When someone calls in with a tough question to their office, arpm puts them on hold until they hang up eventually. Among other things, it just seems like the company takes advantage of the fact that their renters are college students who don’t have any experience in renting/owning property and the laws associated with that.

Oh, they also don’t have any standard processing fee charges for contracts/repairs/etc, it is whatever they please

My question is whether or not there is something (like the better business bureau maybe?), or a governmental body that i can report ARPM to. I dont expect to take down the mighty giant that is ARPM, just some sort of review of their policies, or some sort of warning of disciplinary action in the future.

I rent a condo from a property management company. My one-year lease expired on January 1, 2010. I contacted my landlord in November 2009, advising him I would like to renew my lease for an additional term. My lease indicated (hand-written into the lease by the landlord at time of signing) that a further one-year lease term was an option at the end of the first term. My landlord did not respond to my email in November 2009. I called him a week after I sent him the email. He said that would be fine and he would send the lease documents over. In January, I still had not received the renewed lease documents. I emailed and called him again. He said that he was on vacation for 4 weeks and would do the lease when he got back into town. I called him 2 weeks ago. He said he had not been in touch with the owners, but would call them. I called him 1 week ago - he said he had spoken with the condo owners and they needed some time to think about it; he said he would let me know in a couple of days.

The owners of the condo have a daughter. In September 2009 the owners (with their daughter) came to look at the unit. They said that the mother and daughter had not seen the unit and simply wanted to see it finally. They said they were in town because their daughter is attending university (a 30 minute drive from the condo). They said the daughter would be residing on campus.

I really want to stay living where I am. I have been a perfect tenant. He has never had to speak to me once, rent is always paid in advance. I have a feeling the daughter may want to live in this condo come this September - as she is continuing her studies.

What should I do? Should I just start looking for a place now?

Thanks!

I rent a condo. I like living here and don’t want to move. I signed a 1 year lease, which expired January 1, 2010. I let my landlord know I want to renew the lease in November 2009 - 2 months before the end of the lease. The landlord is an agent for a property management company. The owner of the condo lives out of town. The owner, with his 18-year-old daughter, came to look at the place in August of last year. They said the daughter and the mom had never seen the condo, so they wanted to see it. They were in town because the daughter is attending university in the city now - about a 30-minute-drive away from the condo. They said the daughter will be residing in student housing on campus. In November, the landlord said he would renew the lease - that he would prepare the documents and send them over. No documents were sent, so I called him in January. He said he would be out of town and would send the documents soon. Again, no documents arrived. I called him about 3 weeks ago and was very up-front with him. I told him I want the lease renewed and I feel he is avoiding renewing the lease and that I feel that the owner’s daughter may want to move into the unit. He said he had not contacted the owners at all yet and that he would do so. Called him last week and he said the owners are not opposed to signing a lease, however they want to increase the rent. He said he will come up with a “number” and let me know. Again, no call back.

Even if he signs another lease with me, he can give me 60 days notice to vacate the suite if the owner (or his daughter in this case) want to move into the suite.

So, I guess I just want to see what other people think. Is he just stalling? Is he just dumb and lazy? Should I probably just give notice and move.

Also, the strata just passed a “no-renting” by-law. Which means that if I move out of this suite, the strata would not allow him to rent it out again.

Also, student housing is MUCH cheaper than my rent right now. Student housing is about $700/month. I am paying $2000/month. So he would be in a financial disadvantage if his daughter were to move into here - unless she got room-mates. And please don’t make any comments about finding a cheaper place and not wasting money… I have heard it all before - thanks!
I am renting in British Columbia, Canada. The LAW here allows EVERY legal lease to be ended (with a 60 day notice to tenant) if the owner or their family want to move into the unit. It’s the law - I have checked with the rental board. I have also been a victim to this ridiculous rule before.
Because I need to be in BC, Canada right now. And the only decent condos you will find here will cost you at least $800,000… so even if I pay $2,000 - $2,500 a month in rent, I am still saving by not having to pay a $4,000 mortgage, $600/month maintenance fees, property taxes, down deposit, etc. It works out in the end. But thanks.

Seven years ago, I paid only $350 for a security deposit on a 2-bedroom apartment here in WA state. This year, I am planning on moving out, and I would like to know what the likelihood will be of actually getting that security deposit back. The property management has changed three times since moving in, and I’m not sure if that could be a factor in this.

Of course, I have caused some wear and tear on the apartment. I’m sure a few doors have a couple minor scrapes. There is a trim piece that came off the edge of the kitchen counter also.

If I fix everything that may have received wear and tear while I’ve lived here, should I get the entire deposit back or is the landlord likely to make up some excuse or reason why they shouldn’t return the deposit to me?
