I met a lot of realtors when I lived in Ft.Lauderdale, I'm pretty sure after they see this they will NOT have anything to do with this property or company.
Charging this realtor a $49 fee to get his commission citing protocol. Then after many calls, plus Howard's emails to Willow Bridge and to property management with no responses, they land up giving him his money without protocol! I think the fee was to cover the bogus background check and credit check. If it ever happened. Or they'd just pocket the fee to help pay for a company lunch delivery. What's up with Florida lately?
All the freaking liberal Democrat garbage has been moving there from New York and California or any other blue state. PS Dallas and Houston are liberal hot beds. If the company is based in one of those oh yeah.
It’s pretty common. I’m a contractor and people will hire me like other companies. Even though the payment was agreed-upon before the work started, they will want you to jump through all kinds of hoops at the end to get your check.
I’ve had to take several companies to small claims court, because I refuse to do anything that’s outside the original agreement. I have won 100% of the time.
I made a money order in the wrong amount with western Union. I went through the process of getting a refund. They sent a check that had incorrect numbers. Called and got a replacement The replacement check still had errors Out of frustration I ripped the check. $57 is not worth fighting about but dont do business with Western Union
Does joe have a signed contract?! What does the contract say?! Is that fee mentioned in the contract? If not, sue, and add damages because tortious interference with business. Final sum to be 500.000 dollars plus attorney fees. That will teach that "management company" Also, the first money goes to you, the middleman, and then the owner gets the rest
So the person who ended up the apartment is stuck with a horrible management company. He should have done his due diligence and asked more than what the commission would be. A quick Google search would have told him to move on to another apartment management group.
I'm going to start a shady business where I pull crap like this..why? Because you'll never make it in today's world if you don't sell out your intrgrity for a quick buck and compromise your morals.. imagine how many others this same situation had happened to before this guy? No consequences when you have all the power.. no one will remember this story a week from now and the world keeps turning while the suckers keep burning.
millions of americans across america pay conduent fees because the company manages funds in state retirement, child support, and hundreds of other government program accounts. I personally have had numerous issues with trying to gain access to child support funds from conduent. They are awful. We also pay fees to conduent for the cards they force our funds are. And we pay money to the entities/programs that these funds are tied to. In order to better fund conduent. Conduent makes millions from administrating funds. BADLY.
and they're going to do this to the next person. these stories don't change the way people are or act indefinitely, they just act different for the camera, until the camera is turned off.

It makes sense because they're paying the Realtor! He's now an employee and is treated as all other employees. In many cases your employer should pay the credit check fee, but it's up to your employer.
LOL No, he isn't and employee :D :D he is a third party being paid a finder's fee and and no it is not normal to run credit checks on your employees anyway unless working in the finance industry or the security services
@@wynwilliams6977 Not sure how old you are but in my country (US) if you pay someone for work they are your employee and you are there employer. Even if it's only a 1 time fee, paycheck, commission check, etc. And FYI - your credit check is part of your background check, which I've had run with almost every job I've ever had and I've worked for very large companies, small companies and the Federal Gov't
What a scam
Mgr was making money for themselves .. how many people are charged for the imaginary fee ?
I'd be questioning what other scams that property is trying to get away with
I met a lot of realtors when I lived in Ft.Lauderdale, I'm pretty sure after they see this they will NOT have anything to do with this property or company.
They may even steer their clients and prospects away from this property management company with "buyer / renter beware" caution.
It’s called fraud. It happens every day.
Some class action lawyer should be thinking about this company and its practices.
you can bypass an attorney and drag them into small claims court.
Sounds like the tinkerbell "higher up" never consulted their general counsel. What a genius!

A tax, on top of a tax, on top of a tax isnt right either but here we are....🤷♂️
It would be interesting to see what other "mandatory fees" the renters are paying under their contracts every month.
The Florida DA should look into prosecuting the management company for fraud.

This smells of 419 Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud.
LOL That was my first thought :)
Pay attention buyers and renters everyone is scamming. Do your research.

Here something
If they can charge a fee for a commission
Shouldn’t renters be able to charge them a fee for their rent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's called a kickback. Thugs at work.
I like Howard's delivery
and they're going to do this to the next person. these stories don't change the way people are or act indefinitely, they just act different for the camera, until the camera is turned off.
No way they'd charge the next guy $50 too. Not after what just happened. Obviously, they'd have to charge him $100 to make up for the loss!
Good grief! Can't anyone make a video without splatting 'music' over the narration?
No. The answer is no.
paying a fee to get to your own money? really? nobodys ever heard of this before? credit card companies do it all the time...
This is a Super Cash Acquisition Method
Who owns that building ?
The company didn't want to do the right thing, so instead they've likely lost thousands in future business after the bad publicity.
Who would think that landlords are scammy?
I will pay the $49 fee after you pay my fee surcharge of $250.
lol, its so wild
How about this.
Attorneys wants to be paid a none refundable fee to either review or take a unpaid wages case or cases.
Attorneys do free consultation, and if they don't, they're scamming you. Most lawyers don't get paid unless they win.

How is this in any way related to capitalism? Answer: it isn't.
@@cymeriandesigns umm ... You may want to look up what capitalism is.
Capitalism is nothing like this. One sees this in dictatorships and other socialist settings.
