After
my
application
was
approved
and
a
holding
deposit
was
given,
I
was
notified
there
was
some
painting
that
needed
done.
To
my
surprise,
I
later
received
an
email
that
due
to
painting
the
rent
would
have
to
be
increased
by
$50
a
month.
I
wasn't
thrilled
about
paying
$600
for
routine
maintenance,
especially
after
they'd
listed
and
accepted
an
application/payment.
I
ended
up
accepting
the
increase
to
avoid
house
hunting
and
submitting
applications
again.
For
ten
months
of
the
twelve
month
lease
I
was
deployed,
so
the
property
saw
minimal
use
overall.
When
I
returned,
ERA
asked
if
I
would
like
to
renew
the
lease.
A
couple
weeks
before
the
expiration
they
notified
me
they
wanted
to
increase
the
rent.
I
declined
the
renewal
and
decided
to
move
out.
I
never
moved
any
furniture
in,
and
only
two
rooms
saw
use
in
the
two
months
I
was
there.
I
cleaned
everything
up
nice,
but
the
lease
required
professional
cleaning.
Looking
around
it
appears
only
two
places
in
Sierra
Vista
do
professional
cleaning.
When
I
called
the
first
place
she
told
me
she
knew
the
folks
at
ERA
and
would
be
happy
to
swing
by
and
take
a
look
and
tidy
up.
We
scheduled
a
cleaning
the
day
before
the
inspection.
I
stopped
by
to
see
how
it
was
going
and
the
cleaners
notified
me
that
if
I
wanted
her
to
send
a
receipt
to
Joe,
I
would
have
to
pay
them
$500.
They
admitted
they
had
only
spent
a
few
hours
on
the
property.
Carpet
cleaning
is
prepaid,
so
the
carpets
were
not
even
touched.
From
all
I
could
see
they
re-mopped
and
wiped
the
counters/bathrooms
down.
I
figured
ERA
would
probably
pay
them
twice
that
out
of
my
deposit
if
I
didn't
pay
their
friend
willingly,
so
I
forked
over
the
cash.
The
garage
door
was
damaged
when
I
first
moved
in
and
the
hinge
plate
had
finally
cracked
all
the
way
through
while
I
was
gone
and
it
wouldn't
open.
When
I
returned
for
the
final
month
it
was
still
broken,
along
with
the
washer
seal
not
having
been
replaced,
despite
technicians
coming
to
look
at
both
months
prior.
When
I
left
and
received
the
bill
for
the
remaining
issues,
I
was
surprised
to
see
$30
per
for
bulbs,
outlet
covers,
and
many
numerous
minor
issues
that
ERA
was
notified
of
when
I
first
moved
in.
Overall
the
experience
was
pretty
awful,
and
the
nickel-and-diming/extortion
was
atrocious.
I
don't
normally
post
reviews,
and
initially
I
wasn't
going
to
bother.
What
convinced
me
was
when
I
received
word
back
that
they
had
given
me
a
poor
renter
reference,
despite
making
100%
of
my
payments
on
time
for
a
house
that
was
barely
occupied
and
left
with
fewer
problems
than
when
I
moved
in.
To
anyone
considering
renting
from
them,
save
yourself
the
headache
and
look
elsewhere.
