Do not rent from this property management company. He is completely unhinged when it comes to the…read moreway he runs his business and properties. While living in one of his properties I witnessed behavior from him that breaks Missouri Tenant Law including, but not limited to, entering my neighbor's apartment when she wasn't at home and walking around to check on things without her permission. He kept 70% of my security deposit for cleaning, which I won back in small claims court. The judge didn't believe a word he said and neither should you. He fails to give proper move out inspections, allows maintenance issues to build up before sending someone over, and doesn't take crime in his properties seriously. On multiple occasions the police had to come to my building due to issues with a neighbor, including the tenant's boyfriend breaking into the building in the middle of the night through the front door and then he broke the upper window when she wouldn't answer the door. In a snide comment on my review on reviewmylandlord, this landlord denied there was ever a burglary and called me a deadbeat tenant for sharing my experiences. Do yourself a favor and steer CLEAR of RMS.

This company is awful. We rented 113 1/2 Willis Av for our son. Older home right off of campus…read more From the beginning the air conditioning was a problem. They never told us that the control to the unit was in the other apartment. You have no control over the temperature in the apartment. Plus the air kept going out, over and over. They would send out a crew if it was during 9-5 Monday - Friday and no holiday. Well when you work you usually don't get home until after 5 to notice the air isn't working. I can't count how many weekends he went with doors open and box fans going. They would only bandaid the unit and as soon as a warm spell came, it would go out again. We paid $750 a month to rent this place. It wasn't cheap. Be warned if you rent the place on Willis that you better be cold natured.

OMG! I should read ALL others online reviews before I deal with this company. So I decided write…read moreour story, and keeping update...hope this can help any other good faith people. Impression ***good side*** 1. the guys working efficient, showing house, answer the phone in weekday. 2. Using e-document for sign and pay fee online(I not have chance to try). 3. Maintain guy is friendly and easy talking. 4. Front desk girl and showing gentleman is nice and have good smile. 5. Office close to public library, easy to drop off your payment. 6. Information to you by email. 7. Have own website and Facebook page. ***Bad side*** 1. They ask BIG Deposit...$1500 2. Lease is one year (but they are take our couple days away in contract) 2. No any information for Lawn care on our contract, anyway we be good renter and take care by myself. 3. Big smile when you are in, totally changed when you prepare to move out. 4. Lots of rule and paper when you prepare to move out, feeling hard to get my deposit back. 5. Normally they not answer your email for maintain or house problem notice. ***Key *** If you have to working with this one, take photos and video much more you can before you move in, prepare the time and patient for fight with them after you move out, according to other people's reviews*** hope I am lucky one. 06/04/2010 Got email for termination notice by email. Ask for move out at 06/24/2015. our contract no detail for after lease period. Most of move out notice should send monthly before, this one is odd. Hope we can extension. 6/10/2015 Move in June/27/2014, Our one year lease end at June/24.2015 (they are take our couple days away in contract :-( ) Plan purchase house in this town, we have gap for new house. Go to Jocabs Property try to negotiate to extend one or two months. Front desk girl is nice and professional. But the boss is so rude, the face change so quickly, try they best to scare and dump you...totally no any respect to negotiation with you. Afternoon, we try our best to find short lease apartment for our gap. hope we can be good and move out on time. 06/20/2015

No fleas for a year and half since leaving, even though they are beagles who explore the woods. When I found a house they refused to allow me to buy out, subleasing was expressly forbidden, in a city with a housing shortage so it would have been easy to fill. I shut off autopay in December 2024, because naturally my house was now my priority. When I went to pay the rent in January 2025, it was already paid because they repopulated my information. I had to shut off my card and get a new one as a safeguard against this BS. If this is temporary while looking for house, go elsewhere, they will not work with you.

Do NOT sign a lease with A&B management…read more A&B takes advantage of students and does not treat people fairly. The day I moved into my apartment, I bleached the tub and got on my hands and knees to scrub stains out of the carpet. I was then charged for carpet cleaning fees and "other" cleaning fees when I moved out two years later. The apartment was 90% cleaner than when I moved in. Additionally, there is no way to get ahold of anyone after 430pm on weekdays or on weekends. If something happens, you are out of luck. One weekend, my car was hit in our lot by another resident. There was no way get into contact with A&B about it. Even when I did talk to them on Monday and asked to put video cameras up, there was "nothing they could do". My car was hit again about 5 weeks later. I could never prove who hit it and had to pay the entirety of the repair costs of almost $1000. Dropping of rent is a different story. There is no way to pay online. You have to drive to the office and drop off the check during open hours (I was rarely out of school during those hours before 4:30). If the office is not open, you are out of luck. I would call and ask the management if it was okay to drop it off the check when I had a day off. The office would say that it was totally fine. When I moved out I was charged almost $100 in late fees that I never knew I was even getting.

Just beware of Southern properties and their shady management avoid them at all costs if possible for your safety and peace of mind because when these issues get brought up to Susan horak herself she has told tenants that they are lucky that they pay as much as they do because we could be paying a lot more. Absolute slumlords!!!!

This property management company is unprofessional and doesn't take responsibility for its tenants…read moreand the nonsense their tenant put the neighborhood through. Since their tenant has moved in there have been four shootings at the property and three were drive-by shootings. On the second occasion a man exited the property and returned fire to the fleeing car, shooting out its back window. This is fact and the Columbia Police will confirm it. After the second incident my tenant - as well as I - called Southern Properties/Re/Max Rental Resources, LLC and I spoke with Susan Horak, who was apologetic and told me she would have her property manager (who ran that property) call me. I received a call from a woman whose name I don't remember but I have her telephone number as she called and than texted me. So the business can identify her, the last two digits of the phone number are '66'. The property manager was not only combative but inept. She claimed there was no police report, which is untrue. I sent her a link to the police report. I also urged her to contact my tenant for video, details and a police contact who could fill her in, which the property manager refused to do. After I texted her the link to the police report she stated "I am going to silence my phone now as it's Sunday and I would like to spend some time with my family" only to (after I didn't respond as she claimed she was silencing her phone) send me several passive aggressive texts off in a row unrelated to the shooting. She also claimed her tenant had nothing to do with the shootings because she was at work, however, if the property manager took a moment to be an adult and to perform her job she would have learned from the officer that there's a man who isn't on the lease who's staying at the property and as mentioned, returned fire after the property was shot at. It would be great if your property manager did her job; hopefully the next tenant you put into the property and his/her cohabitants who are/aren't on the lease doesn't cause any more shootings, violence or nuisances in the neighborhood. We're not interested in dealing with bad tenants, their enemies or a slumlord property management company who denies their tenant did anything wrong. Since the property manager felt the need to give me advice on how to run my business I'll give her a piece of advice in return: If a security deposit goes toward fixing bullet holes you're not screening your tenants properly.
