I have a problem with property management company.
My husband &I bought a investment property(VA Foreclosed, 4 yr old, good condition townhouse, ) in NC through Marshall Reddick Investment network's agents. We live in CA, so we have never been there. I have recently noticed that Marshall Reddick & many his network(agents, loans, builders, contractor …)are in lawsuits as fraud. Our case might be a part of it. This agents own management Co. have managed the property since then. Now, my husband is in Iraq for a active duty as a member of National Guard (partly).
Therefore, I have to deal this by myself.
A long story in short(I try)-
This management Co. do need our authorization to do repairs( in writing), but we told(not in writing) they can do emergency repairs under$100 but still has to be reported right way. Yet they do not follow our agreement. They started to do questionable & unreasonable repairs by their own decision, it is not tenants request neither, and make us feel obligation to do those repairs and take money out from check which they collect from tenants. Mostly it happens during the tenants switch- right after move-out(usually once a year), still they don't deduct from security deposit because they describe them as wear & tear. Recently I received a E-mails that They did changed a 3yr old living room carpet , repair windows, repair light switches etc…total cost is more than $700. Also attaches more other expensive repair estimate. They describe the house condition as beyond repairs! They have threatened by using a name of Law(For example,to make window open smoothly-$100-, they say fire safety reason and required by a law)when I disagree it . After I questioned why it get damaged so quickly, what they said was because tenants don't care about t rental house! !But the rental agreement states clearly that to keep good condition with proper manner is tenants responsibly . I we feel our property is neglected by this management Co. There were so many questionable repairs( some should be tenants obligation) with unreasonable price in past. Recently I request a product receipt for recent repair, but they told me they don't have it. Now, I don't know those all repairs are/were true or fake. They also do not collect tenants unpaid utilities which is their duty. They raise a rent a little bit and charge us a big lease up fees also finding fees-both without authorization. They have been overpowered, controlled, and then breaching our agreement( in writing). They made money more than $ 10,000 from us.
Since I have 2 younger children. I see already their suffering including myself from this problem. I am already cutting my sleeping hours to 2~4 hours. I am very tired.
My question is how can I handle this? Can I sue them? How?
Should I take this to criminal court to have investigate ?
What/ Where to start?
I might be able to use Military legal support during my husband's deployment,
but I have no idea how.
Does anyone know Attorneys who takes case of lawsuits related Marshall Reddick ?
If anyone, Please help!!!!
