I was going to rent from Kurt Kresmery of Plote Properties. I gave him a $990 deposit and was not able to move in to the apartment through no fault of my own. We had no lease and there was no stipulation in the application that the deposit was non refundable. When I asked for my deposit back Mr. Kresmery and his boss Dan Shepard told me to "Go F&%8" myself and refused to return my deposit even though it ies a violation of Illinois State Law. You can probably expect the same treatment from Plote Properties if you choose to do business with them. I'm out $1000 and was financially damaged well above and beyond the actual amount. DO business with thees people at your own peril.
