I would avoid "The Villages Downhome Property" folks. During the pandemic, we gave them an 88-day notice re our plans to cancel. They kept 100% of our deposit. Mind you, we could have given them a 1-day notice, but we gave them an 88-day notice. Her exact words were "We are going to stand tall" re the 90-day requirement.
They obviously had plenty of time to rent this house with the notice we gave them. I even asked them for a % return if the house was rented (which it almost certainly was). They were unmoved. Our realtor tried to shield TV management from criticism saying that TV no longer owns this company. That said, when you legally offer your name to a company, you tie your reputation to that company. We will never use this company again -- and we have told many, many people of our experience. I hope (well, not really) that the $500 was worth it. |
if the cat is in place & crying, it may be injured. please check on it, --trap & capture said feline & ask the shelter to check for a microchip. (LOTS of lost pets here in the Villages.) some vets will treat injured/unclaimed pets, then post it in the classifieds !

Sorry to hear about your negative rental experience with Down Home Property....we fired them from managing our 3 Rental Properties here in the Villages a few years ago. All 3 of our customers refused to call them for help with minor property issues because Down Home was typically unresponsive or told them there was nothing they could do... luckily we found out in time to correct the relatively minor issues and keep our tenants in place. Is really a shame that they are still in business! |
Go to the post office
A) and talk to a HUMAN
B) rent a mail box .. cheap ... Quote:

Once the cat breeds it will stop the noise. It's spring time again. Spay or neuter and release is a good idea.

Rental issues
The mail issue for short term rentals is not out of the ordinary. Do leave a note for the attendant at your postal area.
I concur with the mgmt company. Best of luck! My experience was a smoke alarm siren that went off and on for days. Repairman never had new batteries just some his “tester” said was good. Then, there was the problem with the television which kept turning on every few hours with a blaring volume that would wake the dead! There was no manual and the personnel sent out couldn’t navigate to settings for any of the devices either. Rented direct from owners thereafter! t Quote:

Thank you all for all the suggestions, even the sarcastic ones. Mail issue resolved, was at pool and saw mail carrier, got package that was already delivered and then rented a box at Safe Ship. I probably assumed to much as house I just left I had access to mailbox but the new house I did not. Anyway, issue solved. The cat, yesterday we discovered a spot along the fence connecting us to the next door yard that looked like an animal dug out a space to crawl under the fence, we are assuming it was the cat. We covered the hole back up with dirt, gravel and rocks, sprayed some lemon on area(was told they dont like the smell)and have not seen the cat since. I see and have received some messages fro people who think it may be their cat. If it returns I will contact you but have not seen or heard it for over 24 hours now, it may have moved on. Felt a little bad not feeding it but I know it would never leave if i did so. So issue on my end may be, hopefully done. About down home property mgmt, there were more issues than listed here, just does not seem very competent in communications. As for the person saying not to be so dramatic, just call animal control, I did, their answer, they could catch it, spay and neuter it, then release it at the same spot they caught it, that does not seem to be a good answer. Just a little cranky after listening to a whining cat outside my window every night. Being overly dramatic is not me, just a little frustrated. And don't worry, I am not going to shoot it and feed it to the alligators. If it comes back I will contact the people looking for a lost cat otherwise I thank you for all the suggestions.

Down Home PM is a nightmare for owners as well
We made the mistake of using DHPM for our home in The Villages and would NEVER recommend them to anyone.
Poor communication, terrible service, no support and no coverage for missing or broken items. It is hard to manage a property from 1000 miles away but that would have been easier than dealing with these bozos. I had hoped they were better for the renters, I guess the suck on both ends of the transaction. |
