A Difficult Experience From Move-In to Move-Out
The home itself was newer and the right size for my family, but unfortunately my overall experience with Maymont was extremely difficult.
When I moved in, I was told the previous resident had approximately 21 cats. The condition of the home reflected that. The carpets were in poor condition with significant staining, there were areas where the paint appeared poorly touched up, and the condition of the home made me physically ill when I first moved in.
The accounting throughout my tenancy was incredibly difficult to follow. Nearly every month, I was charged extremely high utility amounts, and based on my records, there were months where it appeared I was effectively paying utility charges twice. The balance Maymont reported also affected my Flex rent payments. When the amount Maymont reported to Flex was incorrect, payments could be rejected or disrupted even though I was actively trying to pay my rent.
The lease records have also become a major concern for me. The lease documents currently being relied upon do not appear consistent with the Conrex-style documents I remember signing. I have found multiple versions containing typed representations of my name/signature without authentication information accompanying those copies. The identified owner/entity also differs between documents, despite me not signing a new document authorizing that change. Metadata on one of the lease PDFs I received showed a modification date in September 2026. I have requested the original MRI Secure Sign transaction and audit trail so there can be an objective record of exactly what documents I was presented with and electronically signed.
The end of my tenancy was even more concerning. I signed a new lease that was supposed to begin September 17, 2026. Around September 11, I received notice involving nonrenewal/eviction. Maymont filed an eviction based on nonpayment even though I had paid rent, and my account reflected a very large balance that I disputed. I was told charges could be corrected after move-out.
I also had rental assistance available, but the assistance required documentation from the property owner/manager, including a W-9. Despite my efforts to complete the assistance process, the requested W-9 was not provided.
During the court process, I personally overheard a discussion about whether, if rent had been paid, the U-Haul I had parked in the driveway while moving could instead be used as a lease violation. The attorney responded that the case had been filed for nonpayment and that these were different theories. I am describing only what I personally heard and am not claiming to know anyone’s intent.
Ultimately, I was out by September 22. I packed and moved a household with eight children largely myself while three of my children were hospitalized, while also working full time and attending school full time.
There are still unresolved questions regarding the final accounting, utilities, lease versions, electronic-signature records, and any move-out charges. I don’t yet know how the final damages/accounting process will turn out, so I will update this review when that process is complete.
My recommendation to any tenant is simple: keep your own copies of everything. Save your original lease and addenda when you sign them, download payment confirmations, keep utility bills, save emails outside the resident portal, and document the condition of the property at move-in and move-out.
Save the original PDF when you sign your lease to be sure it is byte for byte identical to the lease they provide after the fact.
