I was a tenant of a property managed by Cowherd between May 2014-December During that time the staff in the office maintained a rude and arrogant attitude toward my roommate and I After living there for about months, the bath tub upstairs started leakingThe result was water dripping from the ceiling downstairsThe "fix" by maintenance was a little spray paint on the ceiling to cover the stains created by the leakAs you might imagine, the stain/ leak came backThis problem was addressed a few times during my stay there, the problem was never truly fixed Another issue that I encountered, was partially my fault, but was poorly handled by themRent was late by daysThe check for rent had been placed in the mail, but had not arrived to themWIthout any warning, I received a call at 1pm notifying me that if the payment wasn't received by the end of the day they would begin eviction proceedingsThis day happened to be a national holiday, therefore nearly impossible to obtain the cashiers check they were requiringI was able to get one, thank God for Walmart When I was ready to move, my roommate chose to stay at that house for a little longerI moved out on December 31, Because I filled out the paperwork to take me off the lease in November and dated it for my last day thereI asked to clarify that that would be the last bit of information that I would have to fill out, and that after December I would no longer be associated with that lease or their companySo, on September 26, when I received a call from my former roommate notifying me that I had to send a notarized letter stating that I relinquish my rights to the check, I was a bit surprisedWhat I found out upon calling the company is that they had failed to fill out the appropriate paperwork and I had been on the lease for the past monthsThey proceeded to try to blame it on my former roommate stating that he didn't fill out a new lease, therefore it was his faultHowever in January he took his new roommate in to be added to the lease, and instead they added the new roommate as a cosigner insteadIn my opinion as a tenant, he did his partThe staff should have seen that I was no longer on the lease, and added two and two together that a new lease needed to be signedWhile this isn't a huge problem, it could have beenIf they would have missed a payment, and been evicted, that would have shown up on my credit tooThat is a big mess up if you ask me!
