Here is an update. I was able to contact and speak with the broker she works under and told him what’s going on and how long it’s taking to get my money back.  I sent him the emails I had sent the property manager too. He was very nice and promised he would contact Rebecca immediately. I did tell him she’s got till Friday or I’m filing complaints with all the agencies you all told me about.He told me he was going to tell her if she didn’t get this handled asap he was going to tell her he would no longer be her broker.  Lo and behold she finally responds. We went back and forth all week hashing out what was owed to me. There were a lot of inaccuracies in her accounting records.…some in her favor and some in mine. She did try to argue about a $300 pet deposit. She said pet deposits do not and never have been refunded, it is a fee they keep. I reviewed the agreement we signed with her and there is nothing in it about pet deposits or fees and it’s not listed as a fee they keep.  Also the tenant agreement only states it is a pet deposit, not a pet fee or pet rent and does not say that it’s non-refundable. She is crediting that back to me, as I’ve already paid the new homeowner/landlord this money. She has also credited me back the other deposits in full and refunded me some overcharges I found. On one deposit she tried to argue that she only received $750 from my prior management company but it was $900. She said she’d give me the $150 difference to get this closed, like she was doing me a favor. I have the original lease she was given when she took over and it states the deposit was $900. She renewed the lease and listed the deposit as already paid. Then she renewed it again a year later and wrote $750 was the deposit. So she tries to tell me the deposit was $750 not $900. Last week she asks me if I have a record of what the deposit was that the previous management company sent her 3 years ago. REALL? I got records from the previous management company that shows they gave her $900. I was also charged $975 twice in 3 months for a new tenant lease fee, should only have been one charge. Her and her staffs record keeping is terrible.  So we’ve come to an agreement on what’s owed and she sent me a message last night that she’s processed the payment. So I should see it hit my bank account on Wednesday. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you all for your advice and information. It was invaluable. Without that I think I’d still be waiting for her to respond to my emails. 

Hi All, I have a trash problem and I'm hoping one of you knows someone who can be my solution. I have a new short/mid term rental in Cle right by the Cle clinic. I'm currently an out of state investor, and I don't have enough booked guests yet where someone is there every week to wheel the trash barrels from the garage to the curb on Tuesday evening and then wheel them back into the garage Wednesday mid day. I've had a full barrel of the previous Airbnb guests' trash in the garage for 2 weeks now. I'm happy to pay someone on an ad hoc basis to help me with my trash when needed. So BP who do you know in CLE who could be my trash savior?  Thank you!!

Hello all,

We have a commercial property on a local highway with a rectangle of grass/some bushes shrubs etc.  around the parking lot and building in Linden NJ.  Also the small house behind it with maybe a 1/4 acre small backyard 200 Sq ft  front 50 sq ft.  If i wanted it cut 2x a month how much should that typically run us if its commercial  & residential?  

 I do not think she’s even moved in yet.  She parked her car in the parking lot and it’s been there sitting for 10 days according to the cameras.  I’ve written literally hundreds of leases in the past 12 years or so.  This is my first eviction I have ever had to file with the court.  I’ve sent several notices to quit, and they just leave.  This one is just bazar.

Everything checked out, license, I’d check, bank statements, w2s, employment verification, etc. Not sure on what’s going on with this one.

Though we do not work in New York at this time, I would be happy to dive into the deal with you and help connect you with the right program - we are operating in 41 states at this time, and help pair clients with the right program in the handful of states that we do not operate in.

If you would like to shoot me an email, I will send you a data tape template to collect the info we need (if you do not have one already).

@Shawn Krieger Hmm, kind of.  So, an individual investor will sometimes come in as an equity partner on a deal...and then they have a company that they have created...so, in that scenario, yes.  But if you mean an institutional lender (like a bank) then the answer is no.
