MUNCIE, Ind. — The school year is not off to a good start for some Ball State students after they say they encountered homes that were dirty and in disrepair, despite the fact that they paid a fee to have the home cleaned.
The properties are managed by MiddleTown Property Group through its subsidiaries, BSU Rentals and MiddleTown Rentals. According to its website, the group boasts hundreds of rental properties.
“I showed up and nothing had been touched or cleaned,” one student said. “I was a little taken back.”
A Ball State student, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, said she recently moved into her home that she had rented from BSU Rentals. The student said she and her roommate paid a total of $500 as a cleaning fee to the agency.
The student said she knew the company had a reputation and called ahead of time to make sure her home would be clean. She said the company assured her the unit would be cleaned.
“I walked in and went straight to the living room because I was going to look at the carpet,” the student said in an interview on Tuesday. “I ran the vacuum literally just one line across the living room and I had to dump it already because of the amount of hair in there.”
