TPM, Good Riddance
Posted by Sam at November 2nd, 2007
For those of you who have never lived in Provo, TPM is the management company that runs most of the privately owned rental properties in the area.
They are known for their horrible customer service, the way they take advantage of students who they know won’t fight back, and how much they generally suck.
I myself have been bitten by TPM, who ripped me off for about $200 when I first moved to Provo. After trying to get them to pay me, they claimed I owed THEM money for months I didn’t even live in Provo. They said they’d call it even. Awesome.
My story was corroborated by many others and I never heard of anyone NOT getting ripped off by TPM one way or another. It was impossible to get your deposit back, and it was impossible to get them to do anything but the bare minimum to keep your property in barely-livable condition. I refused to live in any TPM owned property - and the opportunity arose many times.
Well, TPM - finally, you can suck it.
That’s right, BYU is now saying they will no longer approve any property managed by TPM. Landlords were given 6 weeks to find new management companies for their properties.
So all I can say is HA - rot in hell where you belong! Karma really does work. I hope the owners get royaly screwed financially as a result of this. It will be a taste of their own medicine.
Nice post man, I never rented from these guys because I couldn’t ever get them to show me a property. When you spout off you’re spot on! Keep the good stuff coming.
Shep
I know someone who was going to rent an apartment from them and while they were filling out the paper work and getting their references, TPM rented it to someone else. TPM literally said fill this out and you can move in tomorrow, then rented it to someone else two hours later.
Whenever anyone came to SW and used the TPM account I laughed and basically gave them the same service they give their tenants.
May they rot in hell.

The whole renting situation stinks to high hell in the Provo area. This is most refreshing news. Is there any specific reason why BYU ousted TPM besides them being bastards of management?

What properties did they manage? Were they complexes, or individual properties?
