Parr Property Management

Do not rent ANYTHING from Bill Parr! My daughter and I had the worst encounter ever. We went o pick up the keys to the duplex she had just rented. Her husband is on deployment and so she and I drove to the unit after getting the keys from Bill in Georgetown. Upon entering the unit it was filthy. Hair and urine on both sinks and toilets. Stained bathtubs and toilets, thick dust on the ceiling fan blades, dust caked on the baseboards, walls smudged, cracked linoleum that was coming up, etc. My daughter called Bill and told him that she was disappointed in the condition of the unit and that obviously nothing had been done after the previous tenant moved out. Mr. Parr started yelling at my daughter and my daughter put him on speaker phone and I heard the whole thing. My daughter never raised her voice and the conversation ended with Mr. Parr yelling, «Just lock up and leave, I’ll get you your money back and you can find another place to live!». This brought my daughter to tears and I told her it was for the best and she didn’t really want to rent from someone like this. On the 2 hour drive home she called and canceled her deposit check, her first months rent check as well as the water and utilities. Once home she attempted to call him to ask about how to get the keys to him and he, of course, didn’t answer. A couple of hours later he called and initially acted like nothing and told my daughter she had a signed lease to uphold! He denied telling her that she could find a new place to live (which I heard him say with my own two ears). And when she tried to talk to him calmly again about the condition of the place and how he treated her, his anger began to escalate (bad sign) and she couldn’t get a word in. He was yelling and guess what??? He hung up on her AGAIN! STAY AWAY from any of his properties. We do not know how this will end, she could be out a couple thousand dollars and have her credit ruined thanks to this clown. We took photos of the condition of the place, so he has no leg to stand on to defend himself. If a person says «Just lock up and leave, I’ll get you your money back and you can find another place to live!», doesn’t that mean the lease is verbally terminated? Not according to Mr. Parr. If I could give zero stars I would.

Bill Parr is one of the worst property managers I’ve ever encountered and that’s saying a lot. To start with, he did not address issues regarding the property I was renting. A bush in the driveway was diseased and he waited so long to cut it down, the other bushed became diseased as well. His idea of getting rid of the bush was to cut it off and leave the stump there for a year. Once I had an issue with the kitchen sink not draining. He promptly called the plumber and sent me the bill. I’ve never paid for plumbing issues in a rental before for obvious reasons and yet this guy really wanted money for the problem with his property. Lastly, after I left the country for my second deployment to Iraq, he took advantage of the situation to gouge me for $ 240 for cleaning the place when I left it better than I got it. The house was immaculate when I left. If he doesn’t relent and give me my security deposit, I’m going to have to take him to court. Is this really the kind of guy you want to rent from? I don’t think so. I’m going to recommend him for the blacklist at Fort Hood and I’m going to get the SJA involved. Never rent from him and if he manages a property that you own, get rid of him. He will only bring you trouble.
