K & R Properties

Seemed good from the start — demanded that the house was freshly painted, exterior clean (freshly edged /​mowed, gutters clean), carpets had to be steam cleaned (paid for his contractor to do this). They maintained he would hold the tenants to the same standard on moveout. Turned out the sole priority was keeping someone in the house (and the rental management fees coming in). The «inspection», making sure the tenant was maintaining the house appropriately was a farce. When we ultimately put the house on the market, we heard from our realtor that the walls were «the filthiest I have ever seen.» Didn’t hear that from the periodic inspections. After the tenants moved out, K&R made it seem as if they were doing us a favor having the walls repainted at the tenants expense. Repainting was essential to cover the children’s drawings and greasy handprints. Also had to pay for repair of plumbing that K&R’s contractor had already charged us to repair, but was never fixed properly. A very expensive learning experience, but clearly a company that puts priority on keeping the house rented, whatever the expense to the buyers.
