A plunger should clear all but the most severe clogs. To use one properly, flush your toilet ONCE. Then, press the bottom of the plunger over the drainage hole in the toilet and pump vigorously. If the plunger doesn't help, lift the lid on the back of the tank to verify that the chain is still attached to the handle.

Terrible service. Lacking professionalism and kindness. Never got a phone call when they were coming, would just show up unannounced. Been living in my current apartment for over 4 years now almost 5. I never missed a payment, never got a noise complaint. Once Jeff and Shelly became involved about 3 months ago, building repairs began. Two days ago I was given a 30 days notice. Rent and deal with better people. They’re not worth it.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
I worked with Cairncross as a vendor, and the level of detail they expect and enjoy at their properties is so impressive. They want everything cleaned & maintained to a T before the renter moves in, truly giving the renter the best experience. All of management is professional, responsive, and easy to work with.

By far the best rental/landlord company I have ever dealt with. It’s the small things that make all the difference! They never show-up unannounced, provide same-day fixes to all maintenance requests, and maintain excellent communication with all tenants. They also returned my full security deposit without a single dispute! Easiest tenancy I’ve ever had.

WARNING: Jeff is the worst landlord I have ever had in 10 years of renting. He is also a liar who will screw you at every turn. Why:
1. Before we moved in the ice machine wasn't working, 11 months later still wasn't fixed.
2. He went dark for a month and no one could get in touch with him.
3. When we were moving out he expected us to "not use the house" for 3 days before we moved out. That is not how it works, we paid for those days.
4. Not only did he want us out 3 days early before our lease ended but he threatened us with withholding our security deposit (illegal).
5. He literally, I'm

My experience with Cairncross Management has been fantastic. Their staff is friendly. They always check in on how I'm doing when I stop by to pay rent. They were prompt on getting our broken washer replaced and other maintenance issues we've had. Beats my previous landlord by far! I recommend them to anyone who is thinking about renting. Thanks guys!

Cairncross Property Management has been the best property management company I have dealt with. They worked with my hectic schedule when showing my home, which I really appreciated. They have always been easy to deal with and did what they said they would. THIS is why I'll be using them to manage all of my properties going forward!
