Fla-Rent, INC

"You co-tenanted with Ades M. on a property we managed Called Silversmith. You were never an owner of any property that we managed. Your lease was with the owner Mr. B. starting 5/1/08 ending with a non-renewal at the end of the lease 4/30/11. You both were excellent tenants. The owner of the property and both of you were conspiring to purchase the property you rented and it fell through. We think the owner took another offer as an exchange property saving him paying capital gains on the sale of Silversmith. There was no commission to us involved. We cannot control a property owner from selling their property or to whom it is sold to. Your lease had expired and you had no choice but to move. This event must have caused you great anguish and for that we can relate to how you must have felt. Your review is unwarranted and has no bearing we never had a contract with you as an owner of a property we represent."

"In reviewing this file we find that the property owner had 2 full term tenants. No missing rent on either full term tenant. The rental history was satisfactory on both managed tenants. The monthly rent installment on this 3 bedroom 2 bath 1400 sq ft home built 1979 was 1200.00 for the first lease and for the second lease the monthly rent installment was 1195.00. On both the move-out's at the end of their lease term the claim on their security was 130.00 for the first and 835.00 for the second. The amount above the claim on security was refunded to both tenants after our claim were settled. Tenants are not charged for normal wear on the property. They are charged for any damage caused by them and the cleaning of carpet and premises. There may be miscellaneous charges for lawn and the like if it was the tenants responsibility written in the lease. The lease only cost was 1500. as the owner has stated. This included the owners utilities on the property and attorney drawn lease which is mandatory in the state of Florida. It also included the advertising and property repairs of 175.00. Our finders fee was 995.00 for securing a tenant for the property. The owners was responsible for the rest of the cost which was of the property, utilities and attorney fee. The leases were in succession there was not an above normal lapse of not having a tenant in the property: Lease one August 08 through July 09 Lease two August 09 through July 2010 ( no lapse in leases) Lease only number three started November 2010 and this re-rent did take 60 days. We think this is the lease only that the owner referenced. The lapse in time was due to the economy, not repairs. The property owner had to settle for less rent during this new lease term than what was the norm for that property as the rental market did a turn from owner market to a tenant market. If the lease only tenant was what caused a problem for the owner. It was not under our management. The lease only tenant did qualify to rent the property when they were secured. We can not be responsible if after that there was a difficulty as we complete our job that we were hired for. We do see other alleged issues in the review but can not give counter statements due to no documentation on these accusations. The issues referred to on chewing gum used to hold up fan blades, furniture left or damage to the property. In as far is checking on the property I can state with certainty that there in a full yearly inspection done with the tenant at the property. And a move in and move out inspection before and after every lease end. We also do drive by inspections to see that the lawns and outward appearances are maintained. We do not know what else we can say accept that we are truly upset that our former owner came away from our company with a less than favorable opinion of FlaRent Inc. and our services. No matter what the circumstances were their experience was translated to be one of negativity and for that we apologize."

"Thank you for your endorsement of our company and our staff member Kenny. We pride our selves in our management capabilities. Being acknowledged for a job well done by an owner we work for states a lot to us. It takes time and thought to give a review especially a good one. We believe there is more motivation if the person is unhappy with the establishment to complain, rather than the opposite, give praise. Both my staff and our selves thank you for what you have said and look foreword to our continuing management relationship. Geoff, Carol and Jessica The Family of Brokers Flarent, Inc."
