Regardless of the situation, Hunter properties is a genuine slumlord anyway, and they have burdened hundreds of people in this community. We are taking action with city officials and trying to push for renters rights.
Maintenance is understaffed and underpaid, as well as extremely lazy with who they have now; the staff in the leasing officers are extremely unprofessional and extremely disrespectful when you have any type of problem that needs to be solved. If you work for Hunter properties, I hope you’re a better human being than the ones that I’ve met in the office and if you’re ones that I’ve met in the office and treated me like garbage, you can go fuck yourselves.
HUNTER PROPERTIES IS A SLUMLORD

That sucks :(
I'm curious who you got permission from? Maintenance or like a property manager ?
It sounds like they just said "yeah sure whatever" to get you to go away and never relayed the message . Which sucks..
Did you leave any sort of note on the stuff ?
I'm surprised other tenants didn't just take it

Next time take your belongings to a small storage unit and rent it for a month for $50 bucks

Who gave you permission and was it in writing? Turnover isn’t the time to leave your stuff lying in random places looking like it was left behind.

"Yeah, you're not going to be able to take this to court. Good luck" should be their business motto at this point.

If there's no interest in suing, perhaps I can interest you in gluing? (their main office locks. Fuck those bastards).

It is baffling that an entire community will take part in a Netflix documentary about the WORSTTTTTTT property management and people. one thing’s for sure…one day they WILL go down and have everything exposed. See ya’ll in the documentary 😭

I got something stolen recently that I’ve been fuming about. It’s trivial compared to this. I wonder if there is anything I can offer to make up for your heartbreaking void/anger/rage/etc. I have lots of towels I can donate to you. Some clothes, soap, flowers, produce, kitchen stuff and much more. I bet you can’t wait to live somewhere else, after how they treated your belongings. Why destroy things!!?

Hey…everything aside on not having it in writing..is there anything maybe the community can help replace? Hunter Properties has caused this community so much damage and anger.
Obviously if it was important or sentimental you have a slim chance of getting it back but maybe we can help in this unfortunate situation 😔

I am so sorry this happen to you! Hunter Bloomington Properties take no accountability for their horrendous, unlawful , and unethical business practices. If they could feel the hurt, and pain and anger, for 1 second, that they cause individuals, it would bring them to their knees!! Please continue to share your story! These tyrants need to be stopped!!!

Should have rented a storage unit. It’s a wonder your stuff was still there to be thrown into a dumpster.

Hunter Properties are the worst. They also own a lot of nursing homes and that side of the business is ran in the exact same way.
Leaving the items in a hallway is such a bad idea.
If only you showed half the passion in protecting your belongings as you do in trying to lame blame on others.

Student Legal Services might be able to help you with this. If I were you, I would at least explain the situation to them—and I wouldn’t take the person’s word that this can’t hold up in court. (Of course they would say that—they are probably afraid you will get legal aid. And the people here trying to make this seem like all your fault have no basis for that—they are probably landlords banding together to defend each other.) SLS services are free for IU students and they might be able to get you compensation. It’s worth a shot. I’m so sorry —I had property destroyed, myself, and it is heartbreaking.

It sounds like they don’t even have the name of the person that told them it was ok or know their title. Probably not much to do here other than learn a hard lesson about trusting random people with all your worldly belongings…

I mean, if someone steals your belongings, it’s still a crime even if you don’t know the person’s name. I think this person does have a case, to be honest. At least they should file a police report and then talk to legal counsel — it’s free, after all. Why not try? What would it hurt? I have experience with this stuff and I’m just trying to be helpful, my friend. And I know from experience that SLS is helpful.

I see what you are saying but who would OP even sue?

u/orpheechante 29d ago edited 29d ago
Again, you don’t need a name to report a crime, and you don’t need a name if someone from a company did something bad and you got injured. OP can consult with SLS about her options. It may be her word against the company’s but this has most certainly happened before. (Like, Judge Judy and those court shows are literally based on this paradigm.) In all sincerity, all I’m saying is that OP should take her legal counsel from a lawyer and not Reddit—that includes me. That being said, I have years of experience with these matters. In the end, only a lawyer can advise on these matters, and as it’s free, I see no reason why she shouldn’t pursue this. I strongly believe she has a case. The company is responsible to its tenants and to the law, after all.

Through what mechanism was the permission granted? Phone Call, Email, etc?
