I have my house listed with a certain real estate property manager (I won’t list the name at this point, I will wait until after I talk with them). When I signed my contract I saw nothing re. banned breeds of dogs. I allow renters with dogs and cats to rent this house. According to my prop. manager the pet deposit is $250 - according to the MLS listing that they’ve posted on my house the pet deposit is $300!
Back to the banned breeds though. On a list of houses for rent by this company, they say the following dog breeds are not allowed to be in the house, including: rottweilers, pit bulls, german shepards, and chows. I want to know how they off saying that these breeds cannot be in the house? The breeds are NOT banned in my county! In fact, I HAVE a Lab-Rott mix! I am a huge animal advocate, might seem silly but that’s where I stand. Needless to say, this doesn’t sit well with me.
They’ve pissed me off a few times now - the “banned breeds” and two different pet deposits are just two issues. More include their downright crappy listings (mine were way better - much more descriptive), my picture of the house is better (theirs is super grainy), and they never return calls (in fact, someone came to the house to view it telling me that the company never called them back. I didn’t let them in because I was home alone with the baby though.) They make me mad, but I’ve already paid them $250 to list my house. I can’t manage it myself since we won’t be living in Jacksonville.
Anyone have any good ideas for GOOD rental property managers?
