*Please feel free to contact me for documentation of any of the details below. I would be happy to add it! I apologize for the negative tone of this message, but our experience with Central Property Management has been exceptionally poor".
Today is December 28th. Currently we have not received our deposit back from a property that was vacated October 31st. We gave our "60 day" notice on August 14th, however we were required to pay rent through October 31st, which of course we did. We never received a statement from Central Property Management stating that they were imposing claims on us, listing an exact amount. We too (as others here have mentioned) were sent an "estimated bill" for claims mostly revolving around repairs to overhaul the A/C unit. Please note that per Florida Law, they are required to send us a letter via certified mail detailing the exact charges to be imposed on us within 30 days. We received said letter December 2nd (after the 30 day statute had expired).
I'm no expert, which is why I'm looking for a lawyer, but I believe that i fulfilled my duty as concerned to the A/C by replacing my air filter once every three (3) weeks. I believe that all other concerns as relating to the A/C unit are the responsibility of the owners/property managers.
Here are a few other issues:
Contacted Marilyn, Doug, Jonelle and Bleu on December 4th, left voicemail one week later, and followed up by email on December 17th. At this point I have still not heard back from any of them as to the status of my deposit check. Remember, our lease expired the last day of October.
In general we always had issues getting in touch with someone at central property. I would be happy to provide dated emails as proof, with their response typically being anywhere from one (1) to three (3) weeks after our initial inquiry.
Status: still waiting for deposit to be returned to us 60 days later
Suggestion: Avoid Central Property Management
I'm following up to take legal action, in addition to contacting multiple agencies to make sure that they are aware of Central Property Management's illegal tactics.
Again, please don't hesitate to let me know if you would like documentation and I'd be happy to provide it! Best of luck in you in your search for a management company, and avoid this one.
