Financial Fraud/Coverups
Unfortunately, I am a victim of Property Management Fraud with Rentomatic LLC in Utah. I have hired to manage my property in South Jordan, UT. The tenant did not pay the rent for the month of June, did not pay the bills $172.40 (Water/Trash/Sewer) for couple of months, and vacated the house. The property management company handover the keys to me and says they clean-up the house. They say they spent all the security deposit $3475 ($300 pet deposit, $250 owner refundable deposit and a month's rent which is $2925) to cleanup the house. They sent me one liner email saying they spent all the money, they say they do not have to provide any details or invoices how they spent over $3475 to cleanup the house. In fact, as I live in Maryland, few of my friends from Bluffdale, UT, helped me cleanup the trash from house, and hired handyman to fix the things like fixing the walls, broken toilet seat, fixing the walking closet, broken basement door lock, power was the garage.. etc. The property management company did not provide any information like inspection logs, invoices, deposit transaction details, payments, expenses. It is unethical. It is fraud. They say they do not have to provide any of the information to me as the security deposit does not belongs to the owner. They said different versions of the story to coverup. They said the tenant did not pay full rent for May and they had to adjust the rent from the security deposit to pay me the rent for May. This puzzles, me and no one informed me or discussed with me that the tenant also did not pay the rent for May. Another version of the story is that they had HVAC issue with tenant, so to settle it down they spent all the money. Do they not supposed to provide all the receipts, invoices, financial transaction details, inspection logs, inspection photos, any supporting document that proves how they spent the money? They did not provide any documents except 'Pay or Quit Notice' to tenant. Please keep away with these unethical people and please share the feedback with your friends/families so that they do not fall as victim like me.
