Patrick Properties

"Only one word to describe Patrick, Slumlord. When I moved out he charged me $300 for painting and cleaning. I asked for pictures and half of them were extreme closeups that I know were not my apartment. I had pictures of the apartment from my move out that showed it spotless but I didn’t have photos of things like the INSIDE of the toilet bowl or INSIDE the oven. My mistake. I have been renting for almost 20 years and have never had such a scummy experience, even in slums in NYC, Patrick was worse than all of them! If you can rent with anyone else do it because Patrick is scum scum scum. Sheri in the office is great."

"this landlord has stipulations in their lease that say they can charge for normal wear and tear. i was also charged for pre-existing damage that was indicated on my check-in form. i paid 745 every month, and paid 725 as a security deposit. they kept 460 (175 for a cleaning service, 260 for painting, and another 49.70 for the pre-existing damage). this was a good building to live in and the one apartment i felt very comfortable moving into downtown, but like others have mentioned below, this landlord will keep every penny he can. would not recommend whatsoever at this point edit: patrick told me he never received my check-in sheet. it was only after I submitted a complaint with Consumer Protection that they found my records. there is an ongoing dispute regarding what he needs to refund me despite reviewing the check-in sheet for the first time. edit 2: patrick has agreed to refund me $150"

"I rented with Patrick last year and the house we were in was really nice and a great location. Overall all they were fine, but once we moved out they waited until the very last of the 21 days they have to give the security deposit back. Then took out $622 for cleaning and wall repairs. There was only three girls in that house majority of the year and we left the place spotless. Don’t bother cleaning the place when you move out because they will charge you regardless."

"I know it's impossible to stop this building from being 100% occupied due to the strong location, but be warned that you will get absolutely screwed throughout the entire duration of your lease. To start, we had issues with mold for 9 months straight and after asking month after month to resolve this issue, we hired a cleaning crew to completely disinfect the unit which costed over $1000. After moving out and leaving the room SPOTLESS (due to professional cleaners) and without so much as a scratch on a wall, they had the audacity to withhold $1.6k of our security deposit due to "painting and cleaning." If they want to paint over the walls and make the room fresh for the next tenants, this is a turnover expense and is budgeted for by the owners and property management. Clearly they are trying to scam extra cash flow from broke college students by making us pay for the turnover costs. As a professional in the real estate industry, it is absolutely criminal the way this building is being operated, and we will be dealing with this issue legally."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about my time at my apartment by Patrick Properties. Management was always friendly, timely in repairs and even helped me when I accidentally locked myself out. When I moved out I received almost my entire deposit back and the deduction made was appropriate for a window screen that got damaged when moving out. It was a wonderful experience by far the best I have had with a management company! I was nervous moving across the country with the reviews that were posted online but they couldn't have been further from the truth."
