If you are renting a residential property from BEI you should expect them to keep your security deposit. They kept (stole) my $3600 security deposit and informed me 45 days after it was supposed to be returned. I received an list of damages I supposably did to the house. It was very creative and some of the things down right lies. Steer clear from renting from them, if you like your money. Worst experience ever!

I rented an adorable house from BEI for 3 years. When I first did a walk thru it was with a property manager Nikki. I was told the basement never got water and the appliances were almost new. We had pointed things out like the horrible condition of the linoleum and cracks in the wall, but chalked it up to that it's a 120 year old home. My kids and I loved the house.
When the annual walk thru would happen I was always told how beautiful I'd made the house and that I truly made it into a home. Unfortunately I put up with a lot. The basement did get water. A lot of water. There were cracks in the foundation that were so big wasps would get into the basement. The furnace broke during winter and I was made to stay in house for two days as it got down to 41 degrees. Thankfully I was able to get my kids to someone else's, but I needed to stay home with the animals to protect them from the cold.
The appliances turned out to be at least 20 years old. the stove had constant issues and when the dryer broke I was told the only way they'd get a new one was if I signed another year lease. Fridge pieces broke off within the first week, but was told I'd have to pay for new appliances. When I asked this past January if I could buy a dishwasher I was told the house would go up for sale.
I was offered to buy the house, but was given an astronomical selling price and then told they didn't want me getting a realtor. I ended up buying a home and moved, but when it came time to get my security deposit back it was an absolute fight. I was legally supposed to get it back within 30 days, but it took them 42. I was told they didn't have my new address yet I showed proof I had emailed them 2 months prior.
They took almost $500 without giving any invoices or breakdown, but told me the kitchen floors were dirty and needed to be professionally cleaned. The same floors that were noted in initial walk thru as permanently stained very old linoleum. I was told I didn't give them a 4th key and had to charge me to change the locks even though I only got 3 and repeatedly told them this.
Along with a mattress I had left and asked when I could sticker it and got no response and then 3 days later I saw 4 new mattresses left and I got charged for all of this! They never answered me about how long it took to get my deposit back and they lied about why money was taken. Maybe because their residential property manager changes hands at least once a year so nothing is kept tracked of?
I'm extremely disappointed since this was my home and my kids home for 3 years. We put up with a lot of things that were not maintained throughout the years and then I got charged for things that weren't even me. As a single mom to have so much money stripped away is detrimental. I felt I was helping the new tenant by leaving all my curtain rods I installed and curtains so they weren't left high and dry like I was on move in day and in return I got the shaft on so much. They may be great for corporate rentals, but for residential I had a horrible experience all the way around except for how much I loved the actual house.

I worked for the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce for a number of years and our office was in a downtown St. Charles building owned by BEI Properties. We had a great experience, the staff was extremely professional and helpful. BEI Propeties is very community oriented company they would sponsor events and help support their tenants any way they could!
