Bailey Doug Real Estate

I rented my house thru this company. They selected the tenant and I received the rent money regularly. The tenant was supposed to maintain the yard and keep the inside in good conditions. I did not live close to the house and trusted that the house would be maintained in good condition thru the end of the rental period. DougBaileyRealEstate was paid to protect my interests.
That is not what happened. The landscaping was trashed, the curtains were torn apart, the carpeting was torn and soiled, brand new faucets were destroyed. The total bill exceeded the deposit by more than $ 7000. When I asked DougBaileyRealEstate to pay the bill. I was told that they would not pay a penny. Actually the deposit did not cover the cost of cleaning and moving garbage to the trash. Bottom line I am disappointed. They did not do the job: the deposit was insufficient. They did not monitor what was going on. They made sure that they would get the deposit back to distribute it to their employees.

the reviews I am reading on here for Doug Bailey seem like they go like this-​everything was ok till I couldn’t pay my rent, then they got mean on me. Well, duh, the only thing landlord management companies really, really, have to do is collect rent for their owners. and the only thing renters really, really, need to do is pay their rent. on time. I rented from Doug Bailey and had no problems. My water heater went out once and their maintenance man had it fixed the next day. Otherwise, they left me alone. And they went out of their way to let me change apartments when I wanted a bigger one. And they checked on a package delivery for me a long time after I moved out, which was a big inconvenience for them. And they paid me my deposit back timely after I left the apartment as I found it. So, really what more could you ask for.

I had a similar situation to the former tenant above. The real issue is that customer service is poor.
As a Landlord, if your tenant has an issue, you should work diligently to correct it, not give them all the reasons you cannot. Ida Jane does that often, unfortunately.
Maybe the company should inspect their properties thoroughly before renting them out because my air conditioning and heat has gone out, dishwasher was broken, experienced theft in a «gated» community, and have even been charged for submitting maintenance requests to get things fixed!
Horrible!

This is the worst landlord I have ever had. I paid my rent Everytime for an entire year and even when I was off on FMLA for brain surgery and was only getting 70% pay for 4 months and my mom paid my rent this guy decided right after he said we were good tenants and wanted us to sign for another year he decided to make us pay for 2 plumbing bills that happened because things stopped up due to roots growing into the old cast iron pipes. So when we paid September rent he took that price out of that money and because we refused to pay it because we should not be responsible according to the lease he put in eviction for us and since we were waiting for the court date and it was delayed because of a fire in the court house and we gave proof of everything with all the emails the judge being buddies with Mr bailey evicted us anyway because even though he agreed with other things we proved it was Oct 17^th and we had not paid Oct rent so we now have 5 days to find a place and move out with my issues with my head die to the surgery in April and my 21 year old special needs son if we cannot get a rental soon we will be on the street? With my son having all sorts of medical equipment for all his health issues and this judge seeing him in court he still sided with Doug Bailey who is the worst landlord I have ever met and the owners he represents just stood right behind him with all these decisions. This is the worst I am already in anxiety since part of my brain was removed getting out this tumour it also worries me to death about my son, me and my husband who cares for him while I am back to work relearning to get back into things and support us all we are worried sick having a place to live now. That landlord Doug Bailey is worthless and doesn’t care about anyone even with health issues.

This is the absolute worst landlord I have ever had. I have been renting from them for two years and my AC has now gone out twice. The first time was the day I brought my newborn home in the summer of 2012 and it took them over a week before the AC unit was replaced. The AC repair man was not contacted by Doug Bailey Real Estate until the sixth day that I had no air conditioning in 100+ degree heat with a newborn. The AC went out again this morning and Ida Jane Bailey told my wife that it was just a breaker and there was nothing that they could do. Well, it is most certainly not a breaker, so I called Pedro who is their mainentence person and he told me that «we will see about trying to get someone out there.» So it looks like I am once again without AC for a week or more. These people are the worst and I would not wish a landlord this bad on anyone. Avoid Doug Bailey real estate at all costs.
