Hi I agree with Vianny. I used a company that did not provide what they promised and still took my money and when I complained they ghosted me.

We discontinued Spiderdoor, however we were not using an overlock feature. We do use the Davinci Locks and really like them. We are also moving to a QR code from Davinci for gate access. We are in the beginning stages so we will have to get back to you on that. The Davinci locks do save us time and trouble ...

I have just had a similar system installed by Davinci. So far so good. We are in the process of notifying our customers of the transition. Hopefully it works. Cost is similar. Thanks and Good Luck,Jeanne DubeSolid Ground Storage

Thank you for voicing these concerns. I have always disliked new customer discounts from cable tv to phone systems that are cheaper than my long term rate.

Our policy has been to never rent to someone unless they have title or bill of sale to prove they own the vehicle. However as you know mistakes happen.

Hi Martin My leases are minimum of 1 month. We prorate the first month so everyone is due on the 1st. It’s easier to keep up with past dues this way. A tenant can stay 2 days to 20 + years. If they are in residence past the 1st they owe that month no matter what day they move out. Hope this helps! Jeanne ...

I have just recently increased late fees to having 2 fees, one after the 5th, then a larger fee after the 10th. By splitting this fee up the tenants are not penalized the same for the length of time they are late. My fees for foreclosure such as newspaper ads are much higher than the cost of the service. ...
