A refund may be coming soon to tenants of a pair of Muncie-area real estate companies.
MiddleTown Property Management and MiddleTown Property Group have agreed to pay $35,000 to renters after the Indiana Attorney General’s Homeowner Protection Unit found the two groups misled renters by using the unregistered name BSU Rentals.
That name could suggest an affiliation with Ball State University, which the companies do not have, and confuse consumers, officials with the Attorney General’s Office said.
The Homeowner Protection Unit also heard complaints from tenants that the MiddleTown companies failed to provide safe, clean and livable apartments compliant with state law. They also reported that the companies invaded renters’ privacy without providing proper notice and charged a “deceptive” redecoration fee in the place of a security deposit.
