    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    On 6/10/24, I was notified of an annual inspection of my rental property that indicated & that this inspection is completed prior to each renewal. I have been at this home for 2 years & this is the only inspection that was done prior to any renewal of the lease. After the inspection was completed, Dorfman Property Management stated that they determined that a "woman" was living at the property that was not listed as a occupant of the property. I informed them that the "woman" was my girlfriend & that she stays at my home occasionally but maintains her own residence & that we can provide a valid lease indicating that she permanently lives at another location. Dorfman indicated that she needed to be on the lease & dictated that we submit a rental application & then proceeded to charge me $75 . Then 3 days later I received notice of the "inspection" results that included a demand for repairs for burnt out light bulbs, broken blinds, missing door know (which was in the process of being replaced), missing furnace filter (the furnace doesn't require a filter), missing kitchen ******* ******* located in the yard. Dorfman demanded repairs be made within 30 days or else if repairs were not made another inspection would occur & then a notice to vacate would be issued. No additional inspection has take place. I asked for lease documentation that stated that repairs were to be made after an inspection that required a 30 day completion time frame. I noted that the property had to be returned to the property management company in the same condition in which I received the property in 2022 & this stipulation is only related to the termination of the lease. Dorfman has failed to provide me with the lease documentation regarding repairs. Additionally, my current lease does not expire until 8/31/24. I feel that their notice to vacate is retaliatory in nature in order to force me to move so that they can raise the rent an exorbitant amount.

    ************************* is will try to get you to pay for damage cause by contractors even when you have proof. She is the worse. ************************* is right there with her. I had to send two different emails just to get a copy of my lease. They do the cheapest repairs and when something breaks will blame you. The whole ****** family should be removed cause ****** and ****** will have them in court sooner than later. Roofers came and was banging so hard on the roof that a fixture fell. I informed them and they are trying to get me to pay for it. The house isnt even sealed well. Had animals in the roof because they wouldnt fix it correctly. I have an attorney looking into it now and the wait for my lease. Run is all I can say. As you can see they have more bad reviews than good. Dont do it
