Daytona Property Management

I’ve lived in quite a few rentals over the past few years, and many of my experiences have been less than stellar. My time renting a home from Daytona Property Management was, by far, one of my worst experiences.
We knew that the house we were moving into wasn’t perfect. We were told up front that the dishwasher didn’t work — and that there were no plans to fix it – and we were told that the central AC in the home was inoperable and we would be getting AC window units.
A couple of days after we moved in, my husband was home when a code inspector came by. The man asked about a reported code violation in the house, which we knew nothing about. We later realized that the code violation probably had something to do with the carport. It is clearly damaged and could cave in at any time. I’m just glad it didn’t happen while we lived there.
We found out that our roof leaked, and we realized that the huge tree in the front yard was completely dead and would either fall on the house or on power lines when it did fall. We reported both of these things, and nothing was done about it. We lived in this house for 14 months, not until six days before we moved did they come out and remove the tree.
A week and a half before we moved one of the AC units went out. In the middle of August. In a house that most of the windows don’t open in. My husband called and emailed them repeatedly, and got no response.
We repeatedly had issues trying to reach them by phone or email when we needed them. They were incredibly unprofessional in every encounter we had with them, and the only time they ever contacted us was the one time we paid rent late. (And we paid rent late that month because the first of the month fell on a national holiday, and my husband is living off of his GI Bill while he goes to school, so the payment that month didn’t come through until the second of the month. Did they care? Nope. We got a notice on the door and were hit with a $ 75 fee for paying a day late.)
I highly recommend NOT renting with this company.
