    Our experience with this company was positive for most of our lease, but everything changed during…read morethe move-out process. The biggest issue was the lack of communication from our assigned property manager. On multiple occasions, I had to reach out several times before receiving a response, and I rarely received updates unless I continuously followed up. At one point, I was eventually told that their internet had been down, but it would have been helpful to know that earlier rather than having to call repeatedly wondering why I wasn't receiving a response. The handling of our security deposit was by far the most frustrating part of the entire experience. We were charged over $400 for carpet cleaning even though our property manager had specifically told us that we did not need to have the carpets professionally cleaned. We also had to dispute multiple other charges that we felt were unnecessary. We had taken very good care of the property and genuinely felt that we left the house in better condition than when we moved in. When we moved in, the backyard had weeds that were over a foot tall. During our tenancy, we maintained the property and kept the yard and home in great condition. It was extremely frustrating to feel like we were being nickel-and-dimed for every possible thing after we had been responsible tenants. After we continued fighting to get our money back, our property manager remained unhelpful and, in our experience, disrespectful. Eventually, she told me that if I disagreed with the charges, I would have to take the matter to court with the landlord. Thankfully, the landlord was much more understanding. He acknowledged that we had been great tenants and ultimately recognized that we should receive some of our deposit back. What was most disappointing was that we felt the property management company was not on our side throughout the process and made what should have been a straightforward move-out experience unnecessarily difficult. Overall, the property and our tenancy were good, but the way the move-out and security deposit were handled left a very negative impression. If you rent through this company, I would strongly recommend documenting everything from move-in through move-out, taking plenty of photos, keeping all communication, and being prepared to advocate for yourself when it comes to your security deposit. Our biggest issue wasn't even the fact that there were deductions--it was the lack of communication, the difficulty getting answers, and the way we were treated when we questioned charges we believed were unfair. After being good tenants and taking care of the property, we expected a much better experience when it came time to move out.

    Kaila Videla is the new property manager for my rental home managed by Fort Lowell Realty. She is…read morethe 3rd PM in three years, effective July 2026. She immediately "sprung into action" by asserting her authority, harassing and blaming the tenant for decisions that were made by the former property manager. I've had an open dialogue with the home owner and the former PM about my financial difficulties. The owner and former PM had graciously made concessions to work with me and had verbally and in writing agreed to waive the 5-day notice fee and late fees. They're aware I'm a domestic violence survivor. Additionally, the former PM did not enforce or collect the late fees for months. This pattern of failing to enforce the fees created a waiver or modified acceptance of the lease. I understand it was an inconvenience to the owner and the PM, but I was grateful for the assistance. All parties involved are aware that this is the rental home I moved to, post-divorce after my ex-husband had me removed from our marital home in an illegal manner. The threat of homelessness is a very real and terrifying repercussion that most survivors have had to endure while married and after. I'm working hard to build my life back up, but the process can be slow. I explained to Kaila Videla that she could not enforce and retroactively charge the late fees and that going forward she would have to enforce the terms of the lease regarding fees. I'm also a licensed realtor and am familiar with the Landlord Tenant Act as all realtors who work in property management should be. I tried to communicate in writing, verbally and via text to Kaila Videla. She was callous, uncaring and adamant in her pursuit to collect fees. It was unusual and appeared to be a personal vendetta for her, for whatever reason. I asked to speak to Fort Lowell's attorneys because I was going to communicate and share all of the text messages and emails the owner and former PM had sent. As a compromise, I asked Kaila to take the fees from my $2,400 security deposit because I needed her to cease harassing me with actions that I knew were unlawful. She then turned off my ability to pay the remainder of July's rent. Then I couldn't pay August rent. I attempted to communicate with her and work something out. By the end of August, the owner had waited over 50 days for a rent payment. Then I received a complaint from the courts with a court date within the next 3 business days. Kaila, Fort Lowell and their attorneys had combined 12 months of late fees, past due rent, attorney's fees, court fees for a sum of around $6,700 and more. That did not include September's rent which was quickly becoming due in days. I was in a state of panic and had no choice, but to retain an attorney. He looked at the complaint and immediately questioned the $6,700 in charges. "How much is your rent?" I told him that was a sum including retroactive late charges. It took 30 seconds before he said, "They're trying to be sneaky, this judge caps late fees at $300." Fort Lowell was trying to charge me almost 6x that amount in fees. I was so grateful for my attorney, but Fort Lowell, Kaila and their attorneys still pressed me to compromise. I just needed it to be over. I was so stressed out, the thought of homeless, I was scared for me and my two dogs. My lease is up 11/30/26. They tried to get me to agree to vacate 9/30, giving me less than 30 days to find a new place and move in a frenzy. I compromised by agreeing to move by 10/31/26 only because I was intimidated and my nervous system could not withstand much more. In the end, I paid Fort Lowell zero dollars in late fees. The homeowner had to wait over 60 days for a rent payment. I'm not sure how he continues to have faith in their services. I was penalized by having to vacate the lease early because of the actions and decisions of their employees. Taking me to court was nothing more than an exercise in more trauma initiated by Kaila Videla. Kaila is a newly licensed realtor. I would tread lightly and strongly caution against appearing biased or discriminatory. I still do not understand her relentless pursuit of the late fees, but I do take pause being that I am a woman of color. As a licensed realtor we are held at a higher standard. Perhaps brush up with another fair housing course, Kaila. Statistically, most domestic violence survivors lack family support and resources. That is my situation, also. I'm grateful for my attorney and hope we have all learned something.

    Good afternoon Lee…read more... I just now was able to get to my mailbox and to my displeasure I saw the deposit check from you guys. I guess I am just shocked to see the amount. I'm not saying there shouldn't have been any money deducted, but I don't feel like we left the home in that horrible of shape. We were there for 3+ years. You hardly heard from us. We were good renters. We even paid rent each month in full amount even though we weren't working due to Covid. We had no issues with anything about the house or BCH. We cleaned the carpets yearly. We went above and beyond to keep the house our home. The reason we decided to leave is to downsize and to give my daughter a backyard. I feel like since we gave our 30 day notice, we weren't important to you at all. Our refrigerator went out on a Saturday, sent a maintenance issue that night, and did not get a response til Monday afternoon. Then finally someone came out on Wednesday stating we need a new fridge ( like no crap). I feel like we weren't a priority and getting us a fridge was not a priority to you at all. I feel like you just shrugged it off because we were leaving. We also lost $250 of food because of your lack of urgency. I don't feel like as renters or people we deserved to be treated that way. To be honest this has been eating at me for awhile now. Yes..... seeing the amount of refund was a shock to me and the amount provoked me to write this email, but as I am writing this, I am more pissed off about how we were treated at the end of the month than anything else. Better Choice Homes will never be seen to me as a good company in my eyes. This company we rent from now is far more superior than you all are. Sincerely, Mark Gottschalk and Mindee Lee *** We will make sure anyone we know would never use this company to rent from.

They are very quick and they have an amazing staff. Lee is the manager for my property and she really does an amazing job.

I highly recommend them based on my personal experience.
