PURE Property Management is a joke. They managed my property from March 2020 -April 2025. During…read morethat time they frequently went weeks (sometimes months!) without responding to requests. They rarely, if ever, provided updates about the property--even though they promised to do inspections every 6-12 months, which they didn't. When it was time to sell the house I told them four months in advance so we could let the tenants know. The tenants left the place a mess and the property said that they'd give us the security deposit back and we could deal with the cleaning. Then, after all this, they send me an Agreement to Terminate and say they need 30 days notice. They have been awful. Avoid them like the plague.

Remember this "Lawyers, the cheaper they are the more you pay".

Westview Real Estate's handling of security deposits is truly fraudulent. They withheld 93% of my…read moredeposit for just one year of tenancy in a building built in 2003 and rented to tenants for over 20 years, without accounting for normal wear and tear. I requested both a comparison of the damage charges for the tenant who vacated the same unit in September 2024, to establish a baseline, and aggregate data showing the percentage of deposits returned to tenants in this building for 2024, but they have refused to provide it. The absence of a deposit appeal form or process, coupled with the inflated deductions, suggests that the organization operates in a fundamentally dishonest and exploitative manner. It's astounding that such practices are still happening in 2025. Renters deserve protection from this systematic and predatory process.

Please consider this before renting from this company. I was having trouble with my heat. The light…read moredid not come on in the themostat to indicate the heat was on and I couldn't feel hot air coming out. I also had several other things that needed maintenance. Someone came out to look at this issueue. I was told it was "user error" and was charged a fee for having someone look at it. I was told someone has to bear the cost (I guess it is the tenant!) and the vendor had to be paid for their time. Seems to me, that is simply a cost of doing business. When I objected to the charge, I was told it might have been waived but for my "tone". This is corporate America taking advantage of the small guy. It seems that if someone was there to also look at several other things, it is unacceptable to charge a separate fee for the heat check. Tacking on additional charges is how real estate companies increase their profits. Moreover, if the real estate company has their own maintenance team or a contract with the "vendor", those people have already been paid. I have asked to see the bill for this "service" but have not received it. Should they produce the actual bill, it will be interesting to see if they charged me more than the actual charge. It seems to me, the company would want to encourage a tenant to report issues but if a tenant does, they run the risk of being charged if they deem the issue is "user error".This is customer service at its worst.
