Review content:
First of all, the reviews like mine are from real tenants that lived in Bob Schmitz Properties... hence the same issue with being ripped off with the deposit.
My story goes like this:
I lived in one of Bob Schmitz townhouses for 2 years and never paid late. The maintenance crew are fast and waste no time in getting things done, but the service stops there.
I moved because I found a better deal and it was 1 month before my lease was up. I called the office and inquired about if this would affect my deposit and Susan told me if I found someone to move in, no. But, if they had to find someone meaning if I just left I would have to pay $200 on top of not getting my deposit. So I brought them one of my professors at the University I attended that just moved here from Chicago... (Note, he was approved for a brand new car and house that he decided not buy, but shop around a little). Susan took his deposit, had him sign a lease, and gave him a move in date pending his credit approval. Then Susan called my other neighbor and asked him did he still want my apartment and of course he accepted. Called my professor back in 3 days and told him that his credit was bad. I happened to run into some issues with the new apartment complex and had to move the move out date back 1 week. I called Susan and asked could that be done and she agreed, but she made it seem as if the new tenant was going to move in on the first date. So, I just happened to run into my neighbor and he asked me if I was moving and that's when he told me Susan called and asked him about the apartment and told him she should put me out on the original date even though he was not scheduled to move in until 3 weeks later. He (my neighbor) told Susan that he would not take the apartment if she did something so f#$% up like that when they both knew I was in Cali for a week. My neighbor asked if he could have my bamboo blinds and other stuff that I was getting rid of and we asked Susan if I could leave them there and she agreed. I was charged for those items being left there and a $150 cleaning bill, plus them replacing the drip pans on the stove they never replaced. After 2 weeks of arguing about not getting this back from my deposit Susan memory all of a sudden came back and I got a $175 check for the items but not the cleaning bill. Even maintenance said the house was fine.
I witnessed my neighbor's apartment being robbed and called the police. The next day I asked Susan (property mgr) if there was a number that the police could call to enter and search when the tenant couldn't be reached and I was abruptly cut off with a sharp ""NO"" and sent out. The bad thing about this is that when there was a disturbance where the police was called and their For Rent signs were burned, the next day, the office was calling to see if anyone knew anything. Never gave a crap about tenants safety.
If you look at their site, you'd see that these ""Great"" reviews are the same thing you see here. Do yourself a favor and keep shopping around. There are honest property mgrs in Durham.
