Beware of Equity Property Management
Just wanted to warn anyone thinking about renting from Equity Management in Youngstown.
I moved out recently and got hit with over $1,300 in charges, which took my entire security deposit and somehow I still owe another $337.
They charged me for things like touch-up paint, filling nail holes, carpet cleaning, final cleaning, cleaning the stove, and other things that seem like a normal apartment turn to me. They even charged me to repaint the countertop. The counter top was painted when I moved in and is already very old.
The biggest one was $530 for "excessive water." They claim the toilet was running, but it never ran while I lived there. Vince even admitted he used the toilet after I had already moved out, but somehow I'm still responsible for the water bill.
When I called to question the charges, Vince started screaming at me over the phone instead of having a professional conversation.
I only lived there a year. I cleaned the apartment great before I left. (I owned a cleaning company for years so I know what I'm doing.)
Has anyone else dealt with Equity Management?
