I lived at 82 Summer Street for a couple years and the Palumbos also withheld my key deposits when I moved (please see comments to Be Carefeul posted on 10/3/2008). They are conniving, which was a very disappointing at the end because they seemed quite nice while I was living there. Before they withheld my money, I had 3 complaints which I wrongfully thought were not big deals: 1. They are very slow at making repairs. I had to lie and say that my little nephew was coming over in one week just so they would take care of the chipping paint in my bathroom. 2. THE WASHING MACHING ON THE FIRST FLOOR DOES NOT HAVE A HOT WATER CONNECTION; ONLY COLD WATER. If you do not believe me, check the back of the washing machine for yourself; one pipe feeds both the cold and hot water connections. 3. The back door of 82 Summer Street has a very weak lock and when you shake the handle, THE DOOR UNLOCKS EASILY. This is very UNSAFE and I assume they are waiting for something horrible to happen to one of their tenants before they fix it. Yes, they did not raise my rent for 2 years, but apparently, they make the money back by keeping deposits. I know this sounds low to mention, but I was shocked that Rosemarie rambled one day to me that she is in therapy and she did not know what to do about her daughter and one of her sons, who she described as severely materialistic and unappreciative. Her son, a college student, was whining about wanting designer shoes and her daughter had a friend s father from college that showed her the good life. Of course the kids are materialistic and spoiled; they learned it from their mother! The Palumbos are dishonest. Do not waste your time renting here.

I work in the office - behind the scenes - we have nothing to hide and most of all of our tenants are happy when they live here and many return to live here again. I can't imagine what has gotten this person to speak this way - but I have a few ideas that I don't personally think should be aired this way as she has. Seems Miss Anonymous has a personal issue with one person and certainly not with our management, management style or our care for our tenants. Our tenants think quite highly of the office management and all we do for them.

MaryMcCall777, There is no need to "imagine" why I wrote what I wrote because the entry is quite clear. I wrote this entry because I am highly dissatisfied with your management team, particularly for not returning my deposits. If you take the time to read the other entries, you will see that mine is not the only entry noting that your management company has withheld deposits. In fact, there is an overriding theme of sneaky, conniving behavior. Please take the time to educate yourself about your employers by reading the other entries and note that I mistakenly thought they were decent in the beginning. Apparently, when it comes to dealing with your employers regarding serious issues, their true identities are revealed. My assumption is that as an employee of these lying managers, you somehow benefit from the deposits that belong to former renters, so it would be natural for you to think highly of the Palumbos. Obviously, you have not been wronged by them. But I am sure that if they were stealing your money as well, you would not be so complimentary. The facts are clear and it is not personal; among other offenses, they lie about returning deposits and are completely comfortable keeping money that belongs to other people.

I have to agree with "Anonymous" the Palumbos are very dishonest. Rosemary is a very nasty, arrogant, racist person. They will keep you deposit and will lie to you. I call that "stealing peoples money." People needs to start taking this complains to a higher level, that way the court and the community can be more aware of the type of treatment that tenants are expose too.
