STAY AWAY. If you are looking for a property manager who will do whatever it takes to take your money, call Linda and the Strano team. Just be aware, if you have to rent through Strano, hire a good lawyer from the start and a private investigator who can completely document your new house. \r
\r
Here is the short of it... Strano will not fix anything unless you call them, and then they will make every attempt to make you pay for the repairs. You will get surprise visits from them to do a walk-thru and promise you everything under the sun...but alas, nothing will be done. \r
\r
When it comes time to move out, give yourself plenty of time. Strano will forget they scheduled a move out. Oh yeah, the cleaning bill will be close to $500 and if you use anyone other than the recommended cleaner, you will be on the hook for a re-clean, which you will probably be pressured into. We used the ""recommended"" cleaner and still had pressure to fix broken items that the cleaning crew broke. During the move out walk thru, you will be told everything looks good and you're good to go. After they hold your deposit for the next month, expect to get a bill for your deposit if not for double the amount. \r
\r
Take aways from above: Hire a good lawyer when you start the process. Get a PI or someone else who can extensively inventory the entire house. Every scratch, nick, etc. NO JOKE, IT IS THAT BAD. Then fully expect to lose your deposit. \r
\r
There are other companies that rent homes, go find them and avoid Strano.
