How a company can be so absolutely awful is unfathomable to me! My 24-year-old daughter passed away in November from cancer. She left behind a 5-year-old daughter, who lived in a rental property managed by Progress Residential with her father after she passed. The father did not pay the rent even though we provided him with funds to do so and fled the home, leaving our granddaughters' and daughter's personal belongings behind. The father left the child with her grandparents and disappeared, knowing he was soon getting evicted. When trying to obtain our grandchild's property, Progress Residential decided we could not have access and stated that these personal items, our daughters' and granddaughters ' belongings, would be thrown out in a few weeks. I have provided the company with her death certificate and other documents, but as my daughter did not have a will, they are making me file with the court. I now have to fly to Arizona, file with the court, and wait 6 months or more for access to a baby blanket, an urn necklace, Christmas ornaments, and sentimental mementos that are of no value, but are priceless to me and my grandaughter, even after repeatedly asking for any option to ensure my daughter's remains and every physical memory my granddaughter has left of her mother is not lost forever, including walking through with a representative of the company and my granddaughter to get these small things. Their replies are cold, absolutely immoral, and ridiculous. What are they losing by giving us these small things instead of throwing them out after the father never comes to retrieve them by a certain date? Not to mention that I had to call back every day just to get an email telling me to contact them, which has left me with less than a week to file paperwork I didn't even know I would need. They are literally trying to make it impossible for us, for no legal reason other than spite.
Recommendation: Do not rent from these people!
