No matter what industry you’re in that doesn’t seem like a right thing to do or even be able to do.

My name is Thomas, I have been in the property management business for 7 years in St. Louis and I have never heard of such a thing.

To close in 1 days noticed is unreal. I’m sorry to hear about this. They shouldn’t be in business anyway. If you need help 314-713-4538.

Thanks,

Thomas

I’m sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience and I trust that things wotk out for you in a short period of time.

I am not a licensed Property Manager, however I have provided buildings and ground maintenance management on both “contractual and direct-hire” status to property management companies and private owner’s of both residential and commercial properties.

30 days notice is a minimum in my mind. Less than that is criminal.

I believe that Ann S. was the office manager for Whitener Flynn. And while I do not think I live in one of your properties, what you have discovered about the lack of maintanence is correct, I was with out gas or hot water for almost a week while I waited for WF to take care of the leak, and my paint is still peeling! There was also an issue with maintanence crews entering my unit without notice and my belongings leaving with them, now if this is how family gets treated, imagine a regular tenant. I will keep up on your story and see if I have any more info to pass along. Again, good luck!

Dyllan –
Thanks for your comment. It turns out that things are starting to look much worse then previously thought. I’m still awaiting monies owed me, I’ve heard from several tenants the WF was negligent in operating my property, and I found out from a vendor of the company that they are owed money as well.

More to come . . .

I am not only a tenant of the former Whitener Flynn Properies, but also a family member, and there was no mention of this close out to me or anyone else. I feel bad for the owners of the properites, and I am quite concerned myself as I feel I will more than likely get screwed by this transistion. If it helps, my building has been taken over byAllied Realty Group Inc (7190 Manchester Road, Saint Louis, MO 63143 (314) 647-0055). Maybe this company won’t fold on you in a matter of hours. Good luck!!!
