Cma Realty

When it comes to CMA Realty, I say: STAY AWAY!
Their staff is completely rude, treating you like you're an idiot at all times. I'm an extremely polite guy, so it was a bit of a shock. But I figured hey: I have a decent apartment, for cheap, so I can't really complain. Wrong.

My house was infested with mice/rats, and they took weeks to respond to my requests for pest control. Then I was charged for it, which I had reversed... because it's not my fault their shoddy apartments are infested.
All my little maintenance problems took forever to be addressed, and every time, I was billed for the repair.

They'll often come by your apartment, a week early, and ask for rent. They'll come by and just plan harass you for silly things, like the trash can being by the door, and not behind the building.
I was more than excited to move out. I cleaned the house to spotlessness, and moved to Flagstaff. A month later, I get a notice saying my entire $750 security deposit was used for 'repairs', and that I still owe them $90.00 for 4 days rent, when I didn't even live there.

I'm currently disputing this with the company. They're an awful, slimy, corrupt place to do business with. Please be wise, and learn from my mistake: Don't do business with CMA.

I posted this a couple other places, but after I started reading around, I wanted to make sure that it was read by people who might be put off by the bad stuff some people have said...

First of all, I'm not positive what people are complaining about. Maybe they do not have much experience renting in the area, or renting at all, but I've rented several places from several companies and never had an issue with CMA at all. I've actually rented from this company twice. I moved away in between to go to school in Phoenix. When I moved back, I checked with some of the other companies around town, just driving around and looking at places, but I ended up going with CMA. They are friendlier than a lot of the other people I ran into, they had the time to talk to me (others I had to leave messages about properties and wait for them to get back to me) and they seem to have the most properties in PV. Plus the application and move-in costs were less than they would be anywhere else. Also, when I moved out the last time, the majority of my security deposit was refunded (basically all that was taken out was for carpet, a couple light bulbs, some touch-up paint from some nail holes in the wall and to clean under the fridge, which I hadn't thought to do but makes sense).

Overall a great company with great people - I almost looked forward to going in to pay my rent!

I have two different friends who have went through this company and both have complained about sketchy and sleazy the process was. CMA charged both of them for made up damages and cleaning fees that pretty much negated even having a security deposit in the first place. Their places (houses) had a lot of problems and they were always trying to pin it on the them before fixing it, like they were responsible for how old and crappy the a/c unit was. I think this place stinks, and Prescott and P.V. deserve better! Thx!
