Avoid Palmetto Property Management of SC – Deceptive and Negligent

Amber and Palmetto Property Management of SC completely mismanaged our property, causing significant financial and emotional stress. Over the course of a year, tenants were allowed to violate their lease terms, keeping four dogs instead of one. These pets caused continuous damage, resulting in over $7,000 in repairs, including urine-soaked floors, destroyed laminate, damaged doors, and plumbing issues.

We consulted multiple contractors—from flooring experts to restoration professionals—who confirmed the floors were irreparably damaged from prolonged urine exposure. Despite this, Amber failed to provide inspection reports, enforce the pet deposit agreement, or conduct a single tenant inspection during the lease term. If she had, she would have identified these blatant violations.

Amber's handling of the situation was unprofessional and deceptive. She returned the security and pet deposits without authorization or allowing us to inspect the property. When questioned, she refused to provide documentation or address our concerns. Her "cloak and dagger" approach to property management leaves no room for trust.

We have filed complaints with the BBB, Real Estate Commission, and ConsumerAffairs, and we are pursuing a civil lawsuit with the help of an attorney. If you're considering Palmetto Property Management of SC, think again. Their negligence and lack of transparency could cost you
