Warning about Rent Now QC LLC, Davenport IA

I'm sadly doing my community service and relating my very bad experiences with Rent Now QC in the Davenport Iowa.

The short version of the story is they are either grossly incompetent or straight out fraudulent.  Avoid them.  The longer version follows.

I have a turnkey rental property in Davenport IA that I bought through Easy Street Property Management (ESPM).  ESPM was not the best property management firm I've ever worked with.  They were slow, but competent.  It would seem that ESPM went out of business around April of 2025, and somehow my management was transferred to Rent Now QC (RNQC).  I say somehow because I never really got any notifications about a transfer.  I just stopped getting ESPM messages and started getting Rent Now QC messages.

RNQC appears to be a real company.  They have a web page, property management software, etc.  I know there are people there as I've exchanged several emails with them.  We've even handled debris violation notices from the city successfully.  But they have NEVER forwarded any rent monies to me.  Their monthly statements and property management software indicate that the renter is indeed paying rent.  Strangely I have never received a response to any inquiries I make about the money. 

I eventually had to fire them.  I almost certainly waited too long (8 months), but I had gotten a bit used to ESPM's slowness so the severity of the problem kind of snuck up on me.  They got me for a bit over $9,000.  And the cash hemorrhaging isn't over yet.  The new property manager inspected the property and immediately evicted the tenant and let me know I've got some hefty repair bills headed my way.  For all I know, my tenant was a squatter and wasn't actually paying the rent and all of RNQC's monthly statements were just lies.

Like I said, avoid RNQC.  Don't do business with them.  Hopefully this review helps some future investor.

 You may want to report them to the real estate board of Iowa and the attorney general office.

    Every Owner should review their full financial report from the PM, EVERY Month. The info on it should jive with your knowledge/memory/deposits. If not received by the usual expected day, which should be no later than end of month following the report month, and most arrive mid-month following.

    When you stop getting responses via phone/text/email, immediately send a Certified, Return Receipt Requested with your request for specific info with a deadline to respond. Follow through with a Termination letter and Demand from an Attorney if still no response.

    Tenants will be clueless and continue paying rent to the PM as usual, and you will have a hard time getting it back, if ever. Notify them ASAP of change in Management, with verification documents that you are, and have been the Owner if they are not otherwise aware.

    Hey George,

    Do you know the property manager name ? I just want to make sure I avoid them as well.
    Can you recommend a good property management company or a property manager at quad cities ?

    Thanks

    Sunny

       Hey Sunny, The property management company was Rent Now QC.  Interestingly, there is another company with the same name (I think) over on the Illinois side of the river.  They have pretty much disappeared though.  I do know that they were contracting out a lot of their work to another company called Compliance Construction, I'd flee if you come across that name too.

      I have been working with Integrity Pro Property Management (integrityproproperty.com).  It's still early to give them a solid thumbs up style recommendation.  But I can say that they have been very responsive and reasonable.  Ask me again in a year.  :)

    Hey George, 

    Thanks so much. I have invested in quad cities and own 10 units including single family. 
    One of my property is managed by rentqc and thats why I asked to make sure whether they are the same -> https://www.rentqc.com

     I am not sure whether you are talking about the same property manager ?

    I sent you a message as well. Thanks
