ModMansions

Looks like they have deleted all their previous negative reviews. We had a rental with them in 2020, which we were unable to use due to COVID travel restrictions and a nationwide lockdown. James Murphy refused to refund $6000 for a house rental we could not use. If during a pandemic, there was no hope, then I say renter beware. Quote from Jim: "You ask, “why it is so difficult to issue a refund?” I am a successful businessman who is in business to make money. I am not ashamed to say that."

You will not get your deposit back!!! Jim Murphy and Hal Kessler, owners of Mod Mansions are crooks. BEWARE! $3,300 deposit lost. MY CAR WAS STOLEN OUT OF THE GARAGE IN THE GATED COMMUNITY OF 7 LAKES where I was renting from Jim Murphy for almost 2 years. I had to remain there until I got my car repaired. I asked Laurie Scully (who is so lovely and i guess has to take orders for Jim Murphy) at Mod Mansions if I needed to give a 30 day notice and she said that under the circumstances that I did not need to give a 30 day notice because they knew I was waiting for my car to be fully repaired. During my time there I was constantly insulted by the owner calling me names, always a condescending jerk. From the first night that I spent there I had problems that started with no hot water. They finally had to replace the water heater after 4 days without hot water about a month later. Water from the AC flooded the foyer. Water came from the drains and flooded the primary bathroom and bedroom. Flys made nests in the rotted skylights. Even a few days before I left the apartment immaculate I was told that I would be charged daily DEDUCTED FROM THE DEPOSIT THAT WOULD BE RETURNED TO ME if I stayed even a day longer. So I was sure to be out by the last day of the month. It would be the first of December after many emails and phone calls that I received and email that "if he had rented it" that he was going to give me my deposit back, or part of it. Its still up for rent 3 moths later. I will update this review. Jim Muphy and Hal Kessler and Mod Mansions are crooks. Read the other reviews. Other very similar reviews below. Do NOT DEAL WITH THE PERSON. I AM A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT IN PALM SPRINGS AND I KNOW THE LAWS AND THE QUESTIONS TO ASK. HE IS A LIAR OR MAKES PEOPLE LIE FOR HIM. BEWARE!!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience at the Alan Ladd home over Christmas… while there were one or two things that needed to be addressed they were addressed quickly and efficiently. We found the rental company to be very cooperative and the house was really wonderful for all 10 of us.
