Trend or End??

• Written by Sarah Little, blogging champ On Monday my landlord met me at my old duplex to do my walk through. I got there early and cleaned everything thoroughly. I scrubbed the bathrooms because I hate dirty bathrooms, I vacuumed and even used the little crevice tool to get in the edges by the wall. I removed all the nails and patched the holes with spackle. I expected the white gloves to come out and so I wanted to be prepared. She arrived, and before I knew it she was gone. I had tried to make some small talk with her, but she seemed unconcerned with me. No matter, I just wanted her to say I could have my deposit back. She zipped from room to room. I halfway expected her to comment on the cleanliness…but nothing. She left saying that everything looked fine. Later, my husband asked me when we’d get our money back. I said I didn’t know, and I realized she hadn’t even mentioned the deposit. Perhaps it’s procedure not to tell the tenant moving out that they should expect their deposit back. I can see how that can be committing prematurely, but if she had explained the process I would have been fine. Instead, my husband had to leave them a message-they NEVER answered the phone. And now we get to wait to find out how long we have to wait for our deposit. I’m sure to them our business is unimportant because we’re gone now, but I know a lot of people my age who look for places to rent, and I won’t be telling them about this place. Don’t make this your property management trend. PhoneSmartYour Offsite Sales Solution Secret Shopping BlogYour inside peak Self Storage BlogA diary of the self storage industry
