We were pleased that the previous reviewer for Durkin Cottage Realty is pressing charges and reporting the company to the RI Attorney General's office. (We will be sending letters as well). Our complaint is identical: withholding a security deposit of $300 on bogus damage claims. The most ridiculous was "dog hair everywhere." We had no dog or animal of any kind. In fact, we cleaned the house very well, even though there is a $125 non-refundable clean-up fee in addition to the security deposit. If the owners wish to make a greater profit, why not do it honestly and simply raise the rent instead of basically stealing from tenants.
