Herring and Associates

People should be aware before renting a property with this company. Often times you see the property before it is cleaned, of course you’re assured it will be cleaned before you move in but you don’t see it again until move in day. I was beside myself at the filth but I had already given notice, rented moving trucks and had help come from Seattle. I had no choice but to clean it myself. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had with moving. The carpet was absolutely disgusting. It took me three hours to clean the grime from the refrigerator. In all I spent a good month of my free time doing nothing but cleaning that place. The carpet would never come clean enough for me but I continued to clean it over and over again just to try to get the smell out. To make a long story short, being the clean freak that I am I left 8 months later and left it perfectly clean. Knowing they didn’t clean it for me, surely they could move the next tenant in immediately. I asked to be present at the walk through, went through ask the hoops to make sure I was but no one called me. I called and called and even came in and no one would answer me as to why I was not contacted to be present. Several weeks later when I was told by mail they were keeping all but 125 of my 600 solar deposit, I asked why I wasn’t able to be present and I was told they didn’t know I wanted to be… things started to seem pretty shady to me as I put pieces together. At this time I am garhering my photos and preparing a case against this company. Just want others to be careful. Deposits are meant to be given back if the property is left in the same it BETTER condition. That clearly is not the case here. Also there are laws about how long they can go without changing carpet and painting walls.
