Jamison Reality

Rented a house from the web site. We moved up from Greenville SC. The web site listed the home for $1400 per month. We looked at the house and were preparing the deposit when we were informed that the "home owner" now wants $1750 due to the quickness we wanted the rental. I declined. I really needed a home for my family. So I called back a few weeks later and offered $1550 for a one year lease. They agreed and we moved in. This house is 70+ years old which is fine with us. No grass in the yard, no keys to lock or unlock some exterior doors. paint peeling, stucco cracked all over the walls, multiple pains of glass cracked or missing. The house was rough but we needed it so we moved in.
In fine print on the lease agreement the renter must give 60 days notice when moving out. I sent an email in June asking about month to month which I was not replied to.
At 30 days out before out lease was up I called Jamison Reality and let them know we would be moving in August and our lease ends 8-31-14. They walked the property and said we would receive 100% of our $1550 deposit and all was well. The GM of Jamison seemed like a nice enough person and professional like my self and we got along well. When I called the office several times the front desk person said the check was cut and in the mail on 3 separate calls. The GM was never in the office and would not return my calls. Strange...Jamison says we forfeit our lease agreement by not giving a proper 60 day notice. Here is the kicker. We moved out 8-31-14. Jamison said our move out date was the end of the following month and we owed another $1550. The house was empty. While they were expecting payment from me they were doing a major over haul to the interior of the home that lasted the whole month. I took photos with time stamps for legal reasons.
We lost out to the bully. Life is full of bullies $1550 is not worth my time to deal with a business that $1550 is all that matters. Just like the other reviews repairs and maintenance were a joke and they blamed me for damage to a shower room wall. The stucco in the shower where it meets the tile was black with mold and deteriorated when we moved in. They took their own pictures. They said the home owner was not interested in repairs. All the blame from Jamison perspective is on the home owner in this case. I asked what are you doing working with a home owner that makes your business look so bad? I plane to let every one know what kind of rental program they run.
