Total SCAM!!! Do not deal with them. \r
\r
Here’s the story: \r
On Jan 4, 2012 I was found out Chalmers apartments which is in Laguna Beach was opening so I put down a $750 deposit on the place and was told that it would be available on Feb 15, 2012. Then on Feb 2, 2012 I paid $2250 for fifteen days plus the month of March rent. In total I paid $3000. Since I was going to be out of the country for a few months due to work a good friend of mine which also had excellent credit and a good salary was going to sign on the lease as well and move in with me. He’s was going to take care of the place and help with the rent until I returned. The owner of the place for some reason had the retarded idea that we were going to rent the place out to other people because my friend worked for a travel agency. What the HELL? Are you serious???\r
Why would we rent out a piece of crap place to visitors that go to the website? In all respects that was just retarded of the owner to think that. At any rate, we decided to just let it go and just back out of lease and let them rent it out to someone else. \r
So I give the owner the thumbs up that I will step out of lease. What does she do? She tells me ‘sounds good’ we’ll send you a refund when we find another tenant. I find out that she finds another tenant before Feb 15, 2012. She tells me the refund is on the way. What she doesn’t tell me is that she decides to keep $1080 as commission. Commission for WHAT???? She told me I was getting a full refund. Remember I did not step one foot into the place, and she had the place rented out Hibefore the Feb 15, 2012 date. So I basically get SCAMMED out of $1080. \r
Currently I’ve posted on YELP. I’ve alerted Better Business Bureau (BBB) as well started a small claims case against them. I am writing this to let you know of the business practices of this company (Kail property Management) and how they SCAM their customers. If you are thinking to rent with them contact me first, I’ll be happy to send you a pdf with all the proof of checks that were written to them as well as a copy of the emails that were sent to them. \r
Bottom line: Do NOT rent from Kail property management. They are SCAMMERS!!!!\r
