Rental Experience Review - Bradley Properties, Sierra Vista, Arizona…read more This review reflects our personal experience renting a home through Bradley Properties in Sierra Vista, Arizona. We rented through Bradley Properties for a one-year lease, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. At move-in on March 1, we did not have hot water for approximately three weeks. This was during cold weather, and going without hot water for that length of time was very difficult. The overall condition of the home at move-in appeared poor. The grass and weeds were overgrown. The carpets were heavily stained despite having reportedly been professionally cleaned. The vinyl plank flooring was damaged and uneven. Several kitchen drawers did not have proper slides installed and instead scraped directly against the wood frame, creating sawdust that would fall into food. The kitchen cabinets themselves were visibly pulling away from the wall, which raised concerns for us about how securely they had been installed. Maintenance during the lease was slow in our experience and often required us to coordinate directly with contractors ourselves, even after providing written consent for entry. At one point, the carbon monoxide detector was left beeping for four consecutive days before the issue was addressed, which was concerning from a safety standpoint. When the microwave failed, it took nearly a full month for a replacement to be installed, during which time we were without a microwave. The replacement unit appeared to be a very low-cost model. During normal use, the bottom trim piece came loose. We submitted a maintenance request two weeks before move-out when this occurred. Despite this, we were charged $30 at move-out for the repair. Based on our experience, the issue appeared to stem from the quality of the replacement unit rather than any misuse. The pool service was another ongoing issue during our tenancy. The pool was frequently not in swimmable condition, and we found a dead bird in the pool approximately once a week. At move-out, the lease required tenants to pay for professional house cleaning, professional carpet cleaning, and a paid bug inspection, in addition to automatic re-keying charges and keeping utilities on after surrendering possession. We complied with all of these requirements and provided receipts. While many of these policies may be written into the lease, our overall experience felt heavily administrative and less service-oriented than we expected. Based on our experience, we would encourage prospective tenants to carefully review the lease terms and ask detailed questions before signing.

Over the yrs obviously I had a few maintenance issues which were mostly cheaply fix but fixed. I had a leak in my primary bathroom shower in September 2022 sent in my maintenance request. This is when my problem began. I called the maintenance phone number numerous times-no call back ever. Weeks later my husband calls and talks to the one of two ppl that works there still no help-Literally I have no clue what ppl do or don't do in this office- but last time I checked a leak is a major issue. Months go by and I had one roofer come by to have it checked. There is no communication from anyone for months, my roof is still leaking even when it's not raining. I come home from having my appendix removed in April 2023 with a knock on my door saying they are replacing my roof. Awesome communication and timing from all parties. The roof was replaced but there is possible mold and water damage, which makes sense after 7 months of a leak. A representative from the owner came to my house and said he was willing to help make improvements on my rental. This did not happen. Had a mold inspection and he couldn't give me the common courtesy to say if there was mold or not. There are other house issues but this is my main concern. You shouldn't take money from a tenant when u can't fix leaks, possible mold and water damage. I hope this post will help change this how this company deals with maintenance issues. This could have been different story if there was proper communication. Sorry SMS properties your not getting the 5 star review as u requested. Such a joke.

You were always courteous, frank, and responsive to our calls. We are retired military. So, we moved many times, often in and out of rental properties.

A little routine TLC during the rental period not only assures an easy exit from the lease but establishes good habits for when you do own your own home.

If you are found to be non compliant, you will receive nasty letters. Also expect them to allow the home owners to come inspect the home, for no reason at all, while you are living there, simply because the home owner wants to access the home. Trust me, these people are a blight on humanity. It is best to rent from someone, anyone else. Live in a cardboard box if need be, but dont rent from them. If I had the option, I would not give this business any stars. Is there a dislike button?
