I've been out of the rental game for a few years now, but the best agency I found was Dizmamg properties. I honestly don't know if their business practices have changed or how affordable they are now, but they always treated me well and fair, which was not easy to find when you have a 135 pound GSD...
He was fair when moving and he took off charges to my security deposit when I challenged it one time. 1st time a landlord was reasonable with a security deposit for me around here.
I stayed at various rentals owned/operated by slumlords around here, but stayed renting from Dizmang for years at multiple rental houses here after I first started renting from them. I just couldn't go back to the slumlords' neglect, fraud, and other shady business practices.
Dizmang's maintenance response was not always speedy, but their maintenance was always reliable (and a faster response than I was used to on average). I got to know one of his lead maintenance guys a little bit over the years, and he was a really good down-to-earth guy. He often brought Dizmang's disabled son to assist with basic things when doing maintenance, which I always found sweet and heartwarming.
Dizmang is a dog person too, which was a blessing for me and my huge dog. They've got a very sweet and friendly dog at their offices.
It's been a few years now tho since I've rented from that agency, so some things may have changed (especially after covid and everything). But after all the grief I went thru from various slumlords trying to rip-off college students, Dizmang was great to rent from.

I will definitely check them out, and I greatly appreciate your recommendation. I to am so tired of the slumlords in this area, if there weren’t so many some of these houses would look a lot better too!
