Don't do it. Just don't. One word: SLUMLORD! This business preys upon the poor and the underprivileged and has no shame doing so. Expect a ridiculously lengthy and detailed application process, and then if you do get approved, expect to never hear from them unless they are owed money. They don't care about anything else except for getting that rent check every month on time.

I rented a small house that honestly should never have been inhabited. I had rampant mold problems, which they kept on promising me they would take care of, but ultimately never did ANYTHING except for have some contractor come out inspect the property. There were rats in the ceiling ( could hear them running around and squealing), termites in the windowsills, no heat ( they were supposed to install baseboards but never did- instead they gave me ONE portable oil heater), a serious lack of outlets (only 5 in the whole house- definite fire hazard as we had to use a plethora of extension cords), oh...and the ceiling was LITERALLY CAVING IN. It was drooping and cracking from poor maintenance and looked as if it was ready to go at any minute.

I have pictures to prove all of this....these are pics of the mold that was widespread and impossible to get rid of.

If you are late on the rent, expect a $50 late fee plus $35 for each '3 day notice' they drop at your door. Yeah, it costs them $35 to drive a quarter mile from the office to where my house was located, apparently.

They began an eviction process on me awhile ago, and I was only one month behind on rent ( and still paying any chance I could anytime I had money)....the amount of late fees that had accrued was equal to the amount of rent I owed. I lived there for 4 years, and had only recently been falling behind. Previously I had prepaid the rent months in advance. But if they don't get their money...oh god, watch your back. It is criminal, and it is sad that they get away with this. They deal with a population of people who don't have the means or the money to fight back, and it is pathetic.

So if you are considering renting through S &S property management, I urge you to seriously reconsider.
