Celtic Property Management

The administration of this management company has shown me corruption. In my experience, the only thing they put any effort into managing is collecting rent checks. They are roboticly ruthless. If rent is not paid within a few days after the 5^th they send an eviction preceding notice via automatic software.
I’m embarrassed to post publicly about the apartment in Midtown KC that Celtic Properties lead me to believe was up to basic health codes before i signed the lease.
Celtic trapped me into a year lease in which i am required to pay or have my financial credit devalued and face eviction. I picked this property for its location to my work, but had I known how bad it would be living there, I never ever would have called the Celtic Property # and become so excited about the prospect of living in a property managed by them.
Im also forced to list this corrupt agency when i look for a new place and have to worry about how they may try to frame me all the while accepting no responsibility for their inadequacies.
Its a shame that this company is allowed to report to credit agencies. Credit agencies are devalued when uncredible companies report to them. Celtic Properties has shown me nothing but uncredability and their Unilocal profile is flooded with reproach. The fact that uncredable companies are reporting to credit agencies is proof alone that the entire financial credit system is innacurate.
THIS IS WHY I MUST STAND IN COURT AGAINST CELTIC. Its still unfavorable for me to go to court with this company even if im in the right, because other management companies don’t see it as a favorable business decision to rent to a person who takes a stand against inadequate management.
There ARE LAWS IN PLACE that were created to be a preventative measure of property management companies not living up to standards required of them.
A very interesting coincidence is that last year i lived in a property a few blocks away and faced the same type of issue im facing now. That company (Midtown Properties) tried to evict me in court and their case was dismissed by the judge after i showed up and defended myself against many ways that they showed negligence of responsibility.
Very few people actually defend themselves in court against companies like this and as a result, The companies get away with corrupt business practices. The companies are willing to risk lawsuits because the amounts they get away with are WAY MORE than they believe they can ever lose. This time I will be much better prepared to defend against yet another unethical management company.
I like Midtown, its a unique, diverse area of KC. Its getting better and better. Unethical Companies like Celtic Properties Are Holding It Back and need to be held accountable.
After nearly a year of not cooperating with overwhelming pest problems in the building I currently reside, I payed my last rent check two months ago under «Warranty of Habitability» which is a tenants right in the State of Missouri, and now they actually believe its a good idea to get me in a court room …
In my experience, Celtic Properties is a disgraceful presence in Midtown KC. They show NO PRIDE IN THEIR WORK and neglect accomplishment of basic responsibilities which is punishable by law because they’re recieving money for their «service».
One time, they had a mandatory unit inspection where a woman came into my apartment with an unknown business associate and I could tell she was trying to impress him about the property. The woman and man did nothing other than stand in my living room and engage in small talk for less than 2 minutes. No inspection was done.
Later, I go into the Celtic office to pay my rent and one of the receptionists tells me that after the inspection, that woman had reported «My apartment was messy, things are everywhere» and i need to clean it up. After the receptionist told me that, I thought to myself «…The audacity of this woman», I replied to her «My apartment complex is still infested» «My apartment is not even up to basic health codes». I was thinking «Its hard for me to stay neat and clean all the time, when no matter how spic and span my apartment is, there are thousands more roomates than I signed up for»
This ocurred after i had been personally reporting to them about overwhelming pest problems in the building without them accomplishing what is required of them by law. After finally realizing that they were not going to acknowledge responsability, I began making sure to communicate with them in ways that could be used as evidence in the courtroom (email) … A stipulation of «Warranty of Habitability».

I am only giving one star because it makes me give something to review. I lived in their four-​plexes on Holly Street. I have had 4 different property managers in a year. We are never notified when a manager switches you just keep getting no responses to your emails or calls. I have had outstanding maintenance requests for over a year. The apartment had old dust and grime caked radiators I requested to be removed. I have windows that don’t open and some that have giant gaps in ledge. The patio roof was falling down and a hotel for pigeons until the city made them fix them. The rains created a mud pit in front of the basement rendering the laundry facilities unusable, not that it was clean enough to do laundry in the first place. Each property manager’s customer service skills left you missing the previous one. However, each one apparently received zero support from the owners as to how to fund the necessary maintenance. Right now the place looks like a scene from Jungle Book because they haven’t mowed in three weeks and even longer behind the apartments. I ran in to the most recent property manager yesterday who advised the buildings had been sold. Again, we were not notified of this (which is a requirement by law in Missouri) and have been given no direction or timeline. The whole experience has been one giant mess. They are lucky Kansas City has such a market need for rentals because in no other business would this be acceptable.

Celtic Property Management just bought out my apartment complex and there was a maintenance issue with the apartment above me. They had to come into my apartment to access and fix the issue with the above apartment and their contractor tracked sheetrock and putty all over my apartment and ruined and broke several things in my apartment. And, upon photo evidence and complaint, the management company apologized but refused to pay for any of the damages, leaving me to scrub up the mess everywhere and replace my broken items.

Run away! We had four different property managers in the three years we lived at Wellington Plaza– each was worse than the last. The most recent manager, Gina, had absolutely no interest in the needs or safety of residents. They will lie to your face, and never fix anything. Gina could not even be bothered to show up to sign a no-​trespassing warrant against a vagrant living in our basement and stealing from storage units. The recent google reviews make me sick, they are so obviously fake. I know some of the people who wrote them, and they should be ashamed.

This is THE worst management ever. They are very unprofessional and rude. I called in three times to make an appointment to show one of their apartment and they canceled it without any notice or apology. Stay away from them!

Giving Celtic one star is being way too gracious. They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. If shit starts to go wrong they WILL avoid you, they WILL lie, and they WILL NOT fix the problem. In case I wasn’t clear before, let me repeat it. These ignorant cunts don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

I was trying to rent an apartment for my son who is in college in KC. I live in Chicago. Shannon from Celtic helped me find an apartment after a couple of calls and then stopped returning e-​mails or phone calls. I finally reached her and she pretended she had never spoken to me. I forwarded her our e-​mails and she did not respond. She always acted perturbed if you asked any questions and was totally unprofessional. I wouldn’t use them — there HAS to be someone better.
