Terrible stay at one of their managed properties in Tahoe. The entire house is messy. Check in was not ready 2 hours after the check in time. House is all squeaky and can hear. Dirty. Yet, we left everything in clean condition. The audacity to leave bad review on my Airbnb profile. Stay away from this property management company or don’t stay at one that is managed by them.
For simplicity’s sake this is a review of interactions with the property management company, not the property itself.
I’ve had nothing but positive interactions with anyone I’ve dealt with; namely 3 different but no less important instances.
1) Moving across the country from the east coast they managed to secure a last-minute rental property during a time of great uncertainty and stress (and while I lacked previous rental history in English having lived in Japan before this)
2) Resolved an issue with a rowdy/noisy adjacent tenant throwing parties at 3am. I foolishly panicked and attempted to move elsewhere before consulting them, but the moment that fell through and I asked for assistance they had the problem resolved in short order
3) They worked with me to put off necessary repairs when I a had to head back East on short notice for a loved one’s funeral. The compassion and insistence on working with me was appreciated
Overly long-rambling review made short: they’re a helpful, local, affordable-incone bracket rental agency. Having someone here, not a faceless corporate real-estate invest portfolio masquerading as property managers, has made an appreciable difference.
Thank you to Michael and Patty for going above and beyond for my 86 year old father, his dog and me. They worked extra for me to connect to possible rentals, while we were facing a tough housing market. Their connections were valuable.
Michael is the only person from this agency that I’ve dealt with that doesn’t seem to have an attitude problem. However, Patti on the other hand is unprofessional and disrespectful. The way she treats people like they are all below her is discussing and leads me to believe that she should find a new job. She’s obviously not a people person and if I had interacted with Patti first instead of Michael I would have walked away and never would have rented through them do to how she acts.
Patti Smith, Property Manager, rented me a home of a deceased person by fraudulently signing for the owner on the rental agreement, and giving me an inhabitable home without heat and hot water, after taking $5300 of deposit and rent (money orders made to North Lake Property Mgmt..!!
Patti filed a detainer on behalf of deceased owner as an attempt to evict me for withholding the rent due to uninhabitability of home, and the courts put the property on lock down cuz they know owner is deceased.
