Renting from Desert Wide Properties gave me the opportunity to lose $1,300!!!! Isn't that exciting! Rent from them if you'd like a nice session of getting bent over, too!\r

It doesn't matter if you're a model tenant. If you kept your property tidy, if you kept up maintenance on the property by painting, getting the carpets cleaned (on your own dime) and even having the tiles professionally cleaned.\r
\r
NOPE! Desert Wide Properties will find a way to keep all of your deposit and then even be courteous enough to SEND YOU A BILL!\r

I was charged $300 to have the house dusted, it seems. No mind that I spent hours on my knees with a scrub brush and a bucket of soap and water to clean all the tile in the house. Cleaning out every drawer.\r
\r
I was also charged $295 to pull weeds that didn't exist. Funny how those weeds seem to sprout even though we used vegetation killer on the rock areas.\r
\r
I was charged $400 for carpet cleaning despite having a receipt!\r
\r
I was charged $65 for keys that were turned in!\r
\r
I was charged for a mail key that didn't exist!\r
\r
You get the picture. Wow.\r

I'm not the only one. Unfortunately I didn't find out about them until a couple years into my lease. That's right, I rented from them for YEARS and it doesn't matter. I think Mia Aldana, the kind woman who screamed at me over the telephone and hung up on me, has taken great joy is screwing me and others over. It's probably a good way for her to get her frustrations out.
Pros: NONE NONE NONE
Cons: Unprofessional staff, Unethical business practices, will find any way to take your deposit no matter how hard you work to return the property in better condition than it was recieved.
