HPK management is a take or leave it type of company. I'm currently NOT happy with the management right now. I believe the entire office staff has been revamped and I don't know who's who anymore. I've seen several properties managed by HPK and there are some definite extremes on these properties. As a management company there are some properties that I have seen that I would not even dare walk into let alone put my name out there saying that I manage it! I lucked out and found a very decent property managed by them and I do like the unit, but I'm ready to move on because there have been so many changes in the last couple of years. In terms of them lying, that is a possibility because I was charged with a $40.00 bill for maintence changing the light bulb in the kitchen. The light was defective and the manager ON-SITE saw that it was defective, but I guess maintence tried to say that it wasn't defective. They also said according to my lease that I was responsible for changing light bulbs. Had this been an ordinary light bulb I would have changed it, but it was one of those long tubular ones that you don't find in your local grocery store and it is part of the fixture of the unit itself. No where in my lease does it state that tenant is responsible for light bulbs either. I fought that ridiculous bill and it was in my favor, as it should have been. Anyway at this point I would strongly advise that you proceed with caution if you choose to go with HPK.
