Thanks go to the Austin Property Team! Never received a notice with my new lease, information on how much price would go up, or that my lease would soon be expiring (When I was told I would receive notice). My lease expires in less than thirty days. I should have received something months ago.

Thanks for adding to a long series of f*** ups that show you're unable to adequately perform your job.

To further drive home this point:

The house was not made ready before move in and was a mess.

There were spots on the carpet and holes in the wall that were not filled in at all.

The garage was left in horrific shape and I had to request a cleaning of this. There is also writing all over it's walls. I have pictures and email correspondence that shows this.

There was a week long period where my house was constantly 85-90+ degrees because they took forever to get a contractor out to fix things.

If it isn't readily apparent already, I would not advise doing business with the APT or the owner Brent Bockholt.

**EDIT** January 13th 2014 : At lunch time Brent sent me some emails about this yelp review. I was told this review was unwarranted and that my complaints were (and I quote) "completely unacceptable". Brent also made claims that I was "mistreating and cursing" his contractors and employees. While I did leave a colorful voicemail after this most recent incident, I apologized to Brent for doing so and HAVE NOT otherwise mistreated his employees.

I had a phone call with Brent around 2 PM where I was told (By Brent Bockholt) that we would have a "gentlemen's agreement" about "mistreating his employees" or else he would not re-lease this property to me. He also further commented on the Yelp review and tried to refute any other claims made against him.

At 4:11 PM I received an document from Brent noting that he would not be releasing me the property. I believe this was a retaliatory attack for me posting this review.

You can actually see the type of behavior Brent exhibits by viewing the comments in the link below

As mentioned above I would advise not doing business with Austin Property Team or Brent Bockholt.
