Darwin Homes Property Management

I would never live under Darwin properties again.
When I initially moved in my home there was a different management company but towards the end of last year it changed to Darwin and it has been the worse experience I’ve ever had with a rental company. I’ve gone thru a serious of life events and I am very open if I need additional time to make a payment. I have only been late within the same month never ending the month with a balance. In January I informed them I would be making my payment on the 18th and it was stated it would be noted to my account. When I went to make my payment that day my account had been locked an additional $150 fee was added. I did not have the $150 but the exact amount of my rent and would not have it until my next pay because I had paid utilities as well so I could not pay with a cashier’s check or money order that it now required. And because I would not have the $150 until after the 25th I had to pay both January and February together. I firmly believe that my account was intentionally locked on the same day I had intended to pay because I have not received ANY legal documents via email or mail, and nor has the other person on my lease. They have made it extremely hard for me to pay and now I have to pay additional funds for a cashier’s check and shipping fees. My lease will be up in March and this may be a possible ploy. There are several homes in my neighborhood that have been open for MONTHS and I don’t think they are aware that the house was open for months before I moved in. Although this is nice home there are some things that are not going to be appealing to most renters so to possibly lose out on receiving rent at all for a few days when the economy is already tough for most consumers is appalling, and I’m sure the owners do not know they are making it more difficult for their tenants. Something that could have been resolved in January has now unnecessarily extended to February because one person decided that a tenant who have lived on the property for over 12 months needed to pay an additional $150. Then it takes forever for responses.
