Kelley Property Management

I rented through Kelley Property at Monarch Estates for over four years and just recently moved out only because I purchased a house. They have been very accommodating, affordable rent, always fixed any problems that would arise, kept the property maintained and clean and gave notice for repairs. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the complex and felt as though it was my first true home. They do a great job screening potential renters and I always felt safe at the property as well. I can never thank them enough for providing me a safe space where my neighbors felt like family.

They are the worse place ever to rent your house... if they offer one for me for free I wouldn’t get it. They literally will steal the money of your application and tell you you are not approved or before you give them the deposit they will “rent “ the place you want for somebody else. Be aware.

I saw ads Kelley Property had on craigslist. The price was right so I decided to look. The listing was $245-$335 depending on your credit, no big deal. What they don't tell you is that water and heat are not included in that price. That’s another $89.00. When I get there I fill out an application and instantly told I don’t qualify for a 2bdr because I am single, despite the fact that my daughter stays with me on the weekends. When I fill out the application I hand the lady a letter from my current landlord of almost 7 YEARS stating that in those 7 years I've been late on my rent TWICE. 84 months 2 late payments. Anyway, I fill out the paperwork, hand her my recommendations, pay $79 to apply, then get a phone call 3 hours later telling me that I only qualify for a 1bdr, will need a co signer AND 3 MONTHS UP FRONT!
BOTTOM LINE, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! and look at the dates on the positive reviews, they were writen by Kelley employees.

Great all around we have no complaints.
If it wasn't because of moving out of state we would have stayed with Kelly property management. Great staff and properties.
Highly recommend for your next home to be through Kelly property!

I rented from them for nearly a year. I never had any problems with the property management and every time we had asked for a repair to be made it was always handled within 1-2 business days.
I would definitely rent from them again if im in the market to rent.

Kelley Property gets a - 1000! These people are the worst. They pride themselves on being the best slumlords. From Ron Kelley himself to most of the employees they lie and steal from you. Whatever you do DONE RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE! I am on disability and get paid on the 3rd of the month I asked if I could pay rent on the 3rd and not be charged late fees they said yes as long as I had an award letter from social security stating that. I took a copy of my letter and hand delivered it to the front desk. Then a year and half later I find out they have been charging me late fees. They said if I brought letter in going forward they won't charge me but could not take off the ones all ready charged! That's about $550 dollars which they wanted me to pay right away. I had a co-signer and she never received nothing from Kelley Property about any of this until they took me to small claims court.
When I moved out that place was better then when I moved in. But kept most of my deposit

I rented from them for nearly 2 years and they are absolutely awful. Good luck getting anything fixed at all. They also like to come into your apartment without the 24 hour warning, they cash post dated checks ahead of time, refuse to call the actual tenants if there is a cosigner and take as much as they possibly can upon move out and refuse to provide any proof of the work. Be wary of renting from them.

Kelley properties is the wrost!! My boyfriend and I have live here for 10 months and there has been a major problemsearch with cockroaches in the Robin Wood Apartments in Hiawatha. They have been spraying since we've been here but there has been no sign of improvement in the issue. We just saw freshly hatched cockroaches all over the kitchen while we were getting dinner ready. This place is juts nasty!!!

Ron Kelley and his property management are the worst company I have ever dealt with. After 8 years of rental, with never a call to repair anything, they had the audacity to charge for the carpet. Granted, they prorated it 10% per annual, however, what they neglected to prorate was the USED condition of the carpet on move in. There should have been no charge for the carpet. But, they got their money because it was all legal, per “Iowa Code” even though the carpet was NOT new on move-in. This was done to a renter who had a pristine record after 8 years and paid no less than $57,600 to them over the years. Yes, you read that correctly, over $57 thousand dollars. Also, in another instance my family reported a pest problem which was NEVER remedied. When that family member HAD to leave the apartment they kept HALF the security deposit. This company is the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with and I have lived in many cities. Yes, please remember the absolute worst. Do yourself, your bank account, and your physical well being a favor and never set foot on this company's premises. As you can see the address is> 2750 1st Ave NE,Cedar Rapids, IA 52402. Never go there. If i could give negative stars I would.

THIS PLACE IS AWFUL! The management here was awful. I lived here for 2 years, and had the worst experience of my entire life. My heat would run in the summer, making my apartment over 100 degrees some days and that is with my air running. They took forever following through with maintenance problems. One time I had an emergency where my shower broke and was running full water that was scalding hot. It was a Saturday night and they had no emergency maintenance number. I called Ron Kelleys personal cell phone, and he proceeded to yell at me for having that number. And told me to let the scalding hot water rum until Monday until someone could fix it. Overall horrible experience. Also took very good care of my apartment and my dad owns a carpet company and had my carpets professionally cleaned and they proceeded to charge me a ridiculous price for cleaning then changing the carpets. Never get an apartment with these people.
