You are loading the users fixtures. You need to change your fixtures line to read
fixtures :properties, :users (and any other models' fixtures you want to use) I highly recommend ditching fixtures all together. You avoid funky shit like this, and you won't have coupling between tests that occurs with fixtures, and you'll be able to create more clear specs because you do all the setup in the spec itself. If you're interested, look into something like fixtures_replacement, factory girl, object daddy, etc. Personally, I use a little 15-line homebrew framework.
