To understand Pierce Property Management, remember...

To understand Pierce Property Management, remember businesses usually put their "customer" first. In PPM's case, their customer is the person who owns the property you will rent. As a tenant, you are a source of income for the landlord, and property management company.
PPM will charge you a substantial late fee, with added "administrative costs" the second you are late. One month we owed $125 for being two days late on a month my employer was late paying me.
We just got our final move out cost sheet. To be blunt, PPM essentially used our deposit to do a little remodeling on the apartment we were living in. The place was better than when we first moved in, and cleaner but that doesn't matter.
Avoid dealing with them, there are several other agencies in town that are both more personable (PPM's office staff can be lukewarm to somewhat unpleasant) and most of all, not a bunch of thieves.
