Eagle Property Management

Just an update. We’ve been without Internet for 2 weeks now. We’ve been living in the same apartment for 5 ½ years. Some new renters moved in above us and somehow «got permission from the owners» who are friends of ours, to DRILL HOLES in the OUTSIDE of the brick building to do Internet drops. We were told we couldn’t do that. The other renters in all 5 of the other units were told «no» by the owner as well… But «somehow» these renters managed to get the «owner» to call on their behalf??? NOT. We called and asked the owner. He did not authorize it. Eagle Property cuts corners. If a tenant can’t pass a criminal background check, they’ll put a relative on the lease instead. They got a grandma and her 2 grandkids to rent the apartment above us, but «grandma» is there maybe 20% of the time. The parents of the kids are there a lot, and they’re completely disrespectful to all other tenants in the building. The walls are thin, and these people stay up until 3am or 5am, laughing and CONSTANTLY yelling at their toddlers to «shut the F up». The bedrooms of all apartments are directly below or above other bedrooms. Common courtesy would be to take your party into the living room so you aren’t keeping your neighbors awake. The kids roller skate on the kitchen floor and run and stomp all through the apartment ALL DAY and into the night. It sounds like a herd of elephants. We can’t sleep. The people above them can’t sleep. We’ve complained multiple times and nothing gets done. The internet cable which supplies Internet for all apartments through the walls and is fed through the apartments via the HVAC/​water heater closet was disconnected in the apartment above us 2 weeks ago when they were having some work done. We have asked Eagle Property to fix it (because their maintenance person is the one who disconnected it) and they won’t even respond to our request. My husband and I both work from home. I now have to work from the library, my husband has lost several students because he can’t get them their material via the Internet. Our cellular data plans are going through the roof because we still need to check out emails when the library isn’t open. No one gives a crap about us, they just want their stupid rent money.

10 years ago, my wife and I moved into what we thought were some really nice apartments on 1^st Ave and Jacqueline Dr. SW. They were nice apartments at the time, and we were sorta happy there, having just moved here from out of town. One night we were quietly sitting watching TV, and there was a loud knock at our door– it was the cops. Apparently someone reported that we were making too much noise– the cops literally laughed because we hardly had the volume up on our tv. I should mention the previous week or so before, the neighbor downstairs knocked on our door because apparently our sock-​footed footsteps sounded like elephant’s feet… so we knew right away who called the cops on us. My wife, the cops and I laughed it off, but then a few weeks later we weren’t laughing when we got an eviction notice because we had gotten a formal complaint filed by the CRPD for our quiet tv viewing habits– they literally gave us two weeks to vacate, and we were not even given a chance to tell our side of this ridiculous story. So when the day came for our final check out inspection, the gal treated me like an absolute criminal. THEN tried to stick me with a bill for $ 1200 to replace the drip trays in the stove, and a couple smudge marks in the closet from my shoes, stating that the whole apartment would now need painted… even though we never hung any pictures, and kept the place absolutely immaculate. My point is, don’t rent from these crooks unless you want a place with paper thin walls, ghetto nasty people for your neighbors, and if you intend to get your deposit back!

They don’t even deserve one star! I moved into the property located on 12^th Ave. SW in Cedar Rapids in February of 2014… I was told the apartment was «move in ready» and took there word for it. This was a blind move for me, I moved up here from Houston, and I tried to take care of everything before I got here so it would be an easy move. On the day of my «walk through» the walls had not been painted, nails and nail holes were still present, writing in crayon was all over the closet doors and stickers were on the kitchen walls. There were no drip trays for the electric stove and the refrigerator/​freezer was old and had no shelves in the freezer. Needless to say I was mad as hell but couldn’t do anything because I needed to get settled quick since I was starting my new job in a few days of moving up here.
I will be moving out by the end of October 2015. There are several reasons why I’m moving, here is a list of just a few:
1. Nasty, horrible winters here in Cedar Rapids.
2. Southern California is where I’m from and where I belong!
3. No night life, decent movie theatres, malls, variety of food. The town is closed by 9pm.
In August of 2015 Eagle Property MGMT. offices were broken into and rent checks were stolen. Did they report this to any of the tenants… NO, instead they issued 3 day notices to all the tenants who’s checks had been stolen, I was one of them! I flipped out because my rent is paid by my bank with a certified check on or before the first of each month… when I called my bank to find out what was going on they had no clue, so they called Eagle and was told what had happened and the bank re-​issued another rent check. A few days later Eagle sent out letters to all the tenants who’s checks had been stolen explaining what happened and that we should take «appropriate action to prevent this from being an issue again»…WTF? How am I supposed to prevent someone from breaking into YOUR office? IDIOTS! Needless to say that was the catalyst for me moving out!
I wouldn’t recommend them to ANYONE!

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS MANAGEMENT CO. I repeat DO NOT RENT FROM THIS MANAGEMENT CO. They never get anything done. They never answer there phone. We had a trash can in the laundry room that someone urinated in and it took Eagle property 5 days to get it removed. The security front door lock on the building has been broken. They can’t seem to get that fixed. Windows in the hallway have been taken they can’t seem to get them replaced. At all cost DO NOT RENT FROM THIS MANAGEMENT CO.

I don’t know where to start… when I first approached this company, I knew the unit I wanted, but it took nearly 4 weeks to get a basic showing of an empty unit. I literally had paid a deposit before getting a chance to see the unit I wanted, and it was another week plus before I could sign a lease.
I chose a unit downtown, and was simply not told about the parking situation — the information I was given was 5+ years out of date. I came to discover that parking is$ 70/​month, and neither the parking people nor Eagle are willing to make any kind of deal for residents. They both blame the other company.
I was also not informed of impending construction work, which lasted 5+ months, and started before 7am 6 days a week. Then the city decided to install massive air conditioning/​heating units literally on the other side of my main living area wall, the result being more than 2 months (so far) of loud, constant vibrations and noise. I’ve been told for several weeks now that they’re ‘working on a solution’ but Eagle has told me they won’t help me find another unit with the same lease conditions. Two months without a quiet night, coupled with the parking issues, has left me very unhappy and looking for a new residence. Some of the staff have been pleasant and tried to help, but they’re limited by the rules of the upper management, apparently, and overworked to boot.
If you go through Eagle Property Management, I strongly suggest you spend a great deal of time researching the building and inspecting, and ask many questions. Especially about parking if you’re looking downtown. Good luck.
