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.
this plague of a company established in nottingham, uk is the bane of many peoples lives… they take the rent money, for which they charge extortionate amounts, and they tell you that all bills are included in the cost of the rent, which is not true. i lived at a property rented by these scammers and they ripped me off. the cooker didnt work, the boiler didnt work, the ceilings were falling down and the gas killed my dog whilst i was at work!! one day they came and removed my bed and the fridge freezer for no reason what so ever!!! everytime i call them they laugh down the phone at me!! i was paying £125 per week on a pre pay meter for gas alone and they said that this was the going rate??? i called the gas company and they said that after an investigation that the gas meter had been tampered with to 8x more money than it should, nearly the same for the electric. they turn up at my home unannounced and let themselves in. things have gone missing from my house too and they do not want to know. im at breaking point but im young and i feel they are lying and taking advantage of me. they said my rent has gone up by 40% with no notice and that i will have to move out within 3 days if i don’t agree to the rent increase??? they were so nice until the day i sighed my tenancy agreement and that’s when the psycho bullying started.
please help me out as i do not know what to do i am crying as i type this i just dont want anyone else to fall for these bullying cowboys??
i dont know what to do and now they are getting very violent towards me??
help!!!
