Byers and Harvey Real Estate rip off to soldiers in the military
I rented a townhouse from this company. Upon leaving the rental manager conducted an inspection without me being their. I spoke with her on the phone shortly after the inspection. With the exception of a few minor problems that I agreed to, she stated that the townhouse was in good order. I specifically asked her if there were any other problems to let me know so I could see them and possibly fix them. She stated, "there are no other problems."
Later I received a bill for over $600 to repair a vinyl floor in the kitchen and to unstop a toilet. I maintain that these problems DID NOT exist. When I askesd her to let me see the damages, she said they were fixed. This is a violation of Tennessee 66-28-301 law stating that the tenant will be given a chance to see damages being billed for. She said if I did not pay the bill my credit would be damaged.
I was told from a reliable source this real estate company had a history of doing this to soldiers in this transient military town; that the soldiers moving were in too much of a hurry and did not have the money to fight them, so they usually paid and saved thier credit report.
Does anyone know how I can fix this without spending twice the money in lawyer fees. WARNING: Beware of Byers and Harvey if you move to Clarksville, TN. This is only one example of numerous problems I have had with them.

The report that Byers & Harvey Real Estate Co in Clarksville TN near Ft. Campbell, Ky had a history of ripping off the military is not true. I worked as a Real Estate Agent for them for over 10 years. They are one of the best Rental Agents in Clarksville. They don't need to rip anyone off. Byers & Harvey has been in Clarksville for many many years. The owners and agents are some of the most respected people in Clarksville. I am still an agent in Clarksville and would not hesitate a minute to recommed Byers & Harvey's Rental Department to anyone. There are always two sides to every story and Byers & Harvey does not need this kind of false information being printed without hearing their side of the story also. I Love Clarksville and so will you. We Love our military and don't let anyone tell you we don't.
