All County® Tampa Bay Property Management

Reviews

  I am currently renting a property that my landlord has chosen to use All County as the property management company. Wayne Jones has been extremely unprofessional, rude, aggressive and most recently he has put me in a situation where I fear for my safety and I have had to hire a legal representative. You cannot reach anyone at All County unless you send an email or go through the tenant portal (they do not give out their cell phones). Over the summer, after my grandfather passed away, I had a very good friend stay with me for less than two weeks as I had to be in Boston to deal with setting up a funeral other tasks associated with a family member death, so my friend offered to take care of my cat. He had brought some clothes over during that time. While I was away, Wayne sent an email saying he needed to enter the property with a pest control person to do the pest control service which I agreed to. When he saw my friend's clothes, he assumed he was living there. When I got home I received a 7 day legal notice saying I violated my lease and if I did not resolve it I would be evicted. I explained to Wayne that my friend had just came to the area and was only there to help, however if he needed him to fill out and application then I would have him do so (however his intention was not to stay past the few weeks of helping me). When I tried to explain why he was there, Wayne would not listen and said either he leaves immediately or turns in an application. He chose to leave and Wayne insisted on coming inside the house to do another inspection to make sure not a single article of anything that belonged to him was in the unit. He did that inspection on September 1st, 2017 and told me afterwards that the matter was settled and over with. Since my lease ends at the end of January, I had to reach out to Wayne asking what the renewal process was. Wayne told me is was mandatory that he comes back into the unit to do another inspection where he takes photos of everything and then he will discuss with the landlord how they would like to proceed. I let Wayne come do the inspection, only the next day to find a seven day legal notice saying I have an unauthorized tenant in the unit and I will be evicted should I not resolve it. I was completely shocked as I have had zero people in the unit - even guests - in several months and my second bedroom has a bed and a few photos on the wall that all belong to me. When I called Wayne the following day, he told me they know there is something living with me and to have them apply. I told him there is nobody living with me and I asked him what would make him think there was? He said he didn't need to give me a reason, even in court he doesn't need to give me a reason, and that my lease has not been renewed. He went on to tell me that I am a horrible person that will learn I cannot go around living my life lying and scamming people and that he doesn't have to prove anything to me. It was the most stressful, unfair, completely baseless and false claim. Come to find out, my landlord had already renewed my lease before Wayne decided to falsely accuse me of having a unauthorized tenant and falsely say All County will not renew my lease. I also found out that Wayne did not tell anyone about the notice (and that he was not even the actual property manager - only the assistant property manager). When I explained to my actual property manager and the owner of All County what was happening, they both had no knowledge that Wayne had taken it upon himself to put me through all this. My landlord was made aware of everything going on behind her back and once she knew all this, she told All County that Wayne is not to be involved in my rental agreement at all nor is he to go anywhere near the property. I am a single, 33 year old woman who lives by myself. I have paid my rent, I am quiet, I keep the unit in very good shape, and most importantly - I have not ever violated my lease. I have received no apology for the actions of Wayne, I fear for my safety as he is obviously not capable of doing his job correctly
