As far as property management companies go, AM/PM Prop. Mgmt. is awful. They are rude, their business practices are questionable, and in the end, I am thankful I did not rent from them.\r

I found a great apartment they had listed, which had been vacant for over 200 days. My real estate agent was working out the specifics with them, and while they had already lowered the lease by $200, they indicated to him upon completion of my application they would be willing to negotiate down again. \r

I went to the office to drop of my application and ended up speaking with Lisa Chavez. From word ONE, she was incredibly rude, short, and extremely unhelpful. She indicated they hold apartments for only 7 days, PERIOD. I was asking they hold it for 20 days, as I needed to give my current landlord notice, etc. My realtor then spoke with Lisa the following day, and in her recurring rude tone, said we should get my application processed (which includes my $30 fee), and she would see what she could do about holding longer. I could picture them taking my $30 then coming back and saying sorry, we won't hold it for you past 7 days.\r

I decided to speak with the president, Susan Harris, in hopes that she would not only want my business, but be willing to work with me on this. While Susan was not as outwardly nasty, she was condescending and passive aggressive. She repeated their policy and spoke down to me, asking, ""well, would you want to work for free for a month?"" I told her I was aware of her policy, and was only asking for an additional 13 days (I would pay the deposit ASAP if they would agree to hold it), and felt that since it had been vacant for over 200 days, another 13 wouldn't break the bank.\r
\r
She was rude, short, and quite frankly, I wouldn't want them as my landlords as their business practices and customer service are HORRENDOUS. Could you imagine if you needed maintenance to come out or something of the like?\r

BEWARE if you are looking for an apartment and come across them!
