Disputing my Late fee email chain
Felipe N.

I rarely leave public reviews, but my experience with Acora Management has been been beyond frustrating and unprofessional, and I feel compelled to share it to help future renters make an informed decision. I've been a tenant at Arcadia Palms since 2023 and recently moved from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom unit. Despite doing everything on my end to coordinate the transition, I was hit with unjustified fees -- including a "late key return" charge. This issue began on May 12, when I toured the new apartment with a leasing agent named TJ, as documented in our text correspondence in the first picture below. After expressing interest, I asked how long tenants typically have to move between units. TJ stated it's usually about a week. Based on this information, we completed the paperwork, and Bridgette (the property manager) asked when we'd like to move in. I confirmed we'd like to do so over the weekend that being May 30th - June 1st and paid a prorated rent accordingly as both my fiance and I work 8-5 on weekdays. This is shown in messages provided below through AppFolio, their official tenant communication system. On Friday, May 30, we received our new keys from another employee, Zeus. To be sure, I reconfirmed how long we had to move out, and Zeus echoed the same timeline -- a full week. Based on these multiple verbal assurances, my fiancé and I began moving over the next few days. However, on June 2 at 12:26 PM, I received a message from Bridgette (see screenshots) insisting the keys be returned that day. Naturally, I was confused, as both TJ and Zeus had assured me I had until June 6 (1 week from picking up keys). I responded to her message immediately -- and received no reply. Soon after, I noticed late fees were added to my account (screenshot below). I brought this to Bridgette's attention and visited the office in person. She claimed my message never sent through AppFollio, despite me showing her the timestamped proof directly on my phone. I found this extremely questionable. Even after providing documentation and screenshots supporting my timeline, including our lease agreement in the email chain (which makes no mention of move-out timing or penalties), there was zero attempt to show flexibility or take accountability for their lack of clear communication. This is not just about a single fee -- it's about being treated with fairness and respect toward tenants, something Acora Management seems to severely lack. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident. Earlier in my lease, I was charged repeated late fees even though I had automatic payments set up. After raising the issue, I received no clear explanation -- just a generic apology and a waived fee (screenshots from email exchange with Bridgette below) There are also serious safety and operational concerns that have gone unaddressed despite multiple complaints. For example, the main gate has no dial pad entry, making it nearly impossible for delivery services like FedEx, Amazon, or UPS to access the property. I had an important package from my employer returned twice due to this. When I raised the issue, nothing was done. I have spoken with other tenants of the property have even gone as far as to send the property manager links to amazon for purchase of one. More concerning, there have been at least two incidents involving homeless individuals entering the premises, swimming in the pool, and loitering for extended periods. In one case, I personally witnessed a woman trespassing and urinating on the premises. Acora Management never notified tenants or followed up on my report. Photos provided of email, homeless person and today there remains a pee stain on the sidewalk Lastly, tenants should be aware of a persistent cockroach infestation. I had been warned by a friend who lived here two years ago and encountered the same issue. Upon moving into the ground-floor unit, I took precautions by treating the apartment, yet I still encountered roaches shortly after moving in. In conclusion, my experience with Acora Management has been marked by poor communication, lack of transparency, and a disregard for tenant concerns. If you're considering renting here, proceed with extreme caution. Get everything in writing and be prepared to advocate aggressively for yourself -- or, as in my case, involve legal counsel for basic resolution.

Worst rental experience ever. Truly, bottom of the barrel property "management". So glad I'm out of that dump.

We just finished a 3 year property management relationship with Joseph and his team at Desert…read moreDimension Properties and couldn't be happier. Since we were moving overseas, we were looking for a full service property management firm that could not only handle the renting and management of our property, but could also deal with the majority of the mundane tasks required of a landlord. I am happy to say Joseph and team came through. DDP knew we would be absentee owners and set everything up so the process worked perfectly. They helped us get the property set up for rental, with all the proper legal entities. They found our tenants in just 6 weeks and managed the entire process end to end. Small repairs were managed by DDP with notification to us via email as to the issues, as was previously agreed. For larger issues (we agreed on a threshold of $500), they were very proactive in reaching out to us to explain the issue and provide resolutions. They were proactive at every turn. We also used DDP to handle the sale of our property and they did a great job there as well. Joseph worked with us to get the property on the market at the right time, keeping an eye on neighborhood comps, so that we could catch the market while it was hot. That resulted in our property only having to be listed for a couple months before we received a very good offer. Joseph and team helped us through a very aggressive close timeline (3 weeks, and we are in Europe!) by managing the entire close process for us with the buyers title company. I can't recommend Joseph and DDP enough!

I've been working with Allyssia Chaparro as my property manager at the Fort Lowell Phoenix office…read morefor 15 months now and it's been a great pleasure! She's reliable, attentive, customer-oriented, and trustworthy--exactly what you want if you're not able to keep an eye on your rental property yourself. She's been managing a 3 bed 2 bath in Laveen for me since last August, and she worked us through bringing on a first renter, giving the house a facelift (paint, landscaping, professional photoshoot), and lots of other fixups (A/C, window screens, broken dryer, garage door, leaking sink, HOA things). I was notified, things were taken care of, and I didn't have to do anything other than weigh in on a couple important decisions. I've really appreciated that, when problems arose with the property, she communicated them to me promptly, clearly, and with a plan of action already in motion unless it needed my authorization. It's wonderful to be able to trust someone and have an agent that is taking care of your business for you. I highly recommend working with Allyssia!

Kaila Videla is the new property manager for my rental home managed by Fort Lowell Realty. She is…read morethe 3rd PM in three years, effective July 2026. She immediately "sprung into action" by asserting her authority, harassing and blaming the tenant for decisions that were made by the former property manager. I've had an open dialogue with the home owner and the former PM about my financial difficulties. The owner and former PM had graciously made concessions to work with me and had verbally and in writing agreed to waive the 5-day notice fee and late fees. They're aware I'm a domestic violence survivor. Additionally, the former PM did not enforce or collect the late fees for months. This pattern of failing to enforce the fees created a waiver or modified acceptance of the lease. I understand it was an inconvenience to the owner and the PM, but I was grateful for the assistance. All parties involved are aware that this is the rental home I moved to, post-divorce after my ex-husband had me removed from our marital home in an illegal manner. The threat of homelessness is a very real and terrifying repercussion that most survivors have had to endure while married and after. I'm working hard to build my life back up, but the process can be slow. I explained to Kaila Videla that she could not enforce and retroactively charge the late fees and that going forward she would have to enforce the terms of the lease regarding fees. I'm also a licensed realtor and am familiar with the Landlord Tenant Act as all realtors who work in property management should be. I tried to communicate in writing, verbally and via text to Kaila Videla. She was callous, uncaring and adamant in her pursuit to collect fees. It was unusual and appeared to be a personal vendetta for her, for whatever reason. I asked to speak to Fort Lowell's attorneys because I was going to communicate and share all of the text messages and emails the owner and former PM had sent. As a compromise, I asked Kaila to take the fees from my $2,400 security deposit because I needed her to cease harassing me with actions that I knew were unlawful. She then turned off my ability to pay the remainder of July's rent. Then I couldn't pay August rent. I attempted to communicate with her and work something out. By the end of August, the owner had waited over 50 days for a rent payment. Then I received a complaint from the courts with a court date within the next 3 business days. Kaila, Fort Lowell and their attorneys had combined 12 months of late fees, past due rent, attorney's fees, court fees for a sum of around $6,700 and more. That did not include September's rent which was quickly becoming due in days. I was in a state of panic and had no choice, but to retain an attorney. He looked at the complaint and immediately questioned the $6,700 in charges. "How much is your rent?" I told him that was a sum including retroactive late charges. It took 30 seconds before he said, "They're trying to be sneaky, this judge caps late fees at $300." Fort Lowell was trying to charge me almost 6x that amount in fees. I was so grateful for my attorney, but Fort Lowell, Kaila and their attorneys still pressed me to compromise. I just needed it to be over. I was so stressed out, the thought of homeless, I was scared for me and my two dogs. My lease is up 11/30/26. They tried to get me to agree to vacate 9/30, giving me less than 30 days to find a new place and move in a frenzy. I compromised by agreeing to move by 10/31/26 only because I was intimidated and my nervous system could not withstand much more. In the end, I paid Fort Lowell zero dollars in late fees. The homeowner had to wait over 60 days for a rent payment. I'm not sure how he continues to have faith in their services. I was penalized by having to vacate the lease early because of the actions and decisions of their employees. Taking me to court was nothing more than an exercise in more trauma initiated by Kaila Videla. Kaila is a newly licensed realtor. I would tread lightly and strongly caution against appearing biased or discriminatory. I still do not understand her relentless pursuit of the late fees, but I do take pause being that I am a woman of color. As a licensed realtor we are held at a higher standard. Perhaps brush up with another fair housing course, Kaila. Statistically, most domestic violence survivors lack family support and resources. That is my situation, also. I'm grateful for my attorney and hope we have all learned something.

Unfortunately, my husband and I had the furthest thing from a five star experience with Cynthia…read more(Cindy). I'm at her at a property near the Biltmore that she has the property manager for, and she was accommodating as I was running late from a work meeting, which I appreciated. From the get-go, she was not friendly or pleasant at all, but honestly, that wasn't a big deal because I knew we wouldn't be interacting that frequently once the lease was executed. After applying for the property, she spoke with our references and immediately sent us a lease to sign. On that lease, the security deposit was more than what she told us, there was no outline of the utilities breakdown, a weird section calling out my husband's employment. We asked for clarity to which she responded "we will not be responding." And then she never answered a call, email or text again. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

I paid my rent on time every month. I took very good care of this house. I took care of it as if it were my own. I paid for many repairs. A new screen door that My dog had broke. Which i left in the garage. I had a painter come and fix all walls where there were scratches and damage. She charged me to repair. There was a shelf in the fridge broken and a handle to one kitchen cabinet broken upon my departure. Cindy Stockwell deducted over $1400.00 from my deposit. This was completely dishonest and excessive. She charged for cleaning of curtains because they had dog hair on them. Well when you allow 2 dogs to reside, sometimes there is dog hair after 3 ys. she charged for the screen. She said a cabinet in the bathroom was broke....this was a blatant lie. She said paint needed touching up. The house needed to be painted when i moved in which I have pictures of. She kept a $300.00 cleaning fee which i agreed to but that was not enough for her. I warn anyone who considers renting from her. not to. Really sad that people like her continue get away with this conduct. A real shame. Pls do not ever rent from her. You will be sorry like me. I have many witness to how the home was left including pictures and receipts but she would not even answer me when I contacted her and called out on this. Beware or you will be sorry!
