Terrible experience

Posted by Lawtonian on 7/13/2009

Do not be fooled by the Century 21 name. This business is bad news and makes its living preying on military service members. Unfortunately, I did not do my homework prior to renting a property and I am hoping to prevent this from happening to someone else. I rented a property from them for a short period of time and in that time I cleaned the property up and took very good care of the property. I never asked to be compensated by the owner for improvements I made on the house. However, when the owner decided to sell his property I was pretty much tossed out at the end of the lease. This company expects you to leave all utilities on in YOUR name once you move out so that they can do their inspection AFTER you are gone at their convenience. They refuse to do a pre or final inspection with the renter present so that they may find "issues" with the house in order to take money out of the deposit they owe the renter. Please, please do your homework and ask your fellow soldiers who they would recommend. I found out the hard way and after the fact. Several people have told me since that this company has a terrible reputation in this community. I just wish I had known prior to signing my lease and I would have went with another company or waited on housing on post.
