Dobco Properties

WARNING – Renter Beware! My husband and myself rented a back house property through Dobco for a little over 2 ½ years. We were pretty low maintenace renters with no major complaints. We informed the landlord Bill Dobrenen that the thermostat was broken, a screen window needed replacement, and that one of the toilets needed to be looked at. He supposedly told his repair guy to handle the problems. My husband stayed home on the days that he was told that the repair guy would come, but no repair man. The repair guy reportedly told the landlord no one was home. When we moved in, a few items were already not working and the bathrooms were a mess. When we left, obviously the security deposit was kept and bogus charges added regarding damages – at least half of which were already problems when we moved in and were NEVER FIXED prior to our move-​in date. During our first year lease, we had a problem with the garbage dispoal and the landlord originally said they would fix it but then changed his mind claiming that we probably threw potato or onion peels down the drain and ruined it ourselves. The kitchen sink was crap to begin with and I bet is still crap now. We let our lease run out and went from month to month. The back gate offers no security — the opening is on the alley side of ALL places. We never felt safe at night as the gate would be wide open. The security lights would always go out even after complaints had been made. If you can help it, do not rent from these people!
