On the phone and in person, the staff is polite and helpful. However, they are completely understaffed and behind in their maintenance. I am sure maintaining hundreds of properties is no easy task. They, as a business, should additionally employ at least three more full-time maintenance crew members. To my knowledge, there is only one full-time person. While it has been my experience with him that he does good work, there is no reason why any task should take five months to complete. Renting in Corvallis is already extremely difficult. In my experience, many Corvallis rental companies are proud slum-lords, happy to take the rent and give no services in return. At Home Properties, unfortunately, has shown me that they are in this group. The rusty water mentioned in other posts is a problem where I live as well. I realize older homes and buildings require large scale maintenance such as pipe replacement, electrical replacement, appliance replacement, mold prevention, window replacement and more. As a rental company they should be aware that this is what they signed up for. Rentals need to be taken care of, otherwise the units will no longer be suitable for renting out. It is my hope that At Home Properties should begin to care about the properties they own, and to make long-lasting improvements instead of quick and temporary fixes.

The representative I spoke was mildly rude - an attitude that she had better things to do then to answer my questions or provide me with more information. Aside from that, it's kind of silly (I'm thinking of a different word) that a potential renter can't apply for a house if they haven't viewed it yet. I live 2 hours away and the likelihood I'll get to see the place before several other potential renters get the opportunity is Zero. It's a seller's/leaser's market in Corvallis. They have the luxury of being quick to get off the phone, rude, and having restrictive policy over the application process because it doesn't take any time to find another renter either way. If you have the choice between this company and another, consider this review an indication of how they might respect their tenants. That said they have some coveted listings, on paper.

WARNING... Unethical. Excessive move-out charges…read more Pinion kept a large portion of the security deposit upon move-out after a significant effort was made to clean and turn-in the property better than we received it. It is NOT the job of the renter to return the property to "move-in" condition. Normal 'wear and tear' issues should be the responsibility of the owner / property manager. Renters should only be required to return the property in the condition that it was received. Pinion offered "furnishings" in the duplex I rented for my son and two other college roommates. He and his roommates had furniture so they didn't need anything from Pinion. What was left was a random dresser and bedside table (presumably from a complete bedroom set) that appeared to just be left from previous renters. Upon moving out, my son was charged $50 for the removal of the "furnishings" Pinion left for them. I suppose Pinion charged the previous renters for the left-over furniture - presumably to cover removal / disposal costs? (pretty good way for Pinion to make a little extra money from first-time-renter, college students) Additionally, Pinion charged $400 for "floor cleaning" fees in a ~2000 sqft property that contained no carpet and mostly laminated or vinyl floors. $400 for mopping that couldn't have required more than 2hrs of labor for one person. ($200/hr is lawyer / international airline pilot money. If that's the going rate for mopping services in Corvallis, I've got small business idea...) My son asked for explanation / clarification on the excessive cleaning charges and disputed the charge for the furniture Pinion left in the property from previous residents. Received an email reply from Pinion with some very strange close-up pictures with weird captions of "proof" of damage and/or insufficient cleaning, as well as the $400 receipt / invoice from the cleaning company (for mopping) and was told there was nothing more that could be done to return anymore security deposit. Pinion decided to refund the $50 for the left-over furniture. Admittedly, my son did say they missed doing a scrubbing of all the kitchen appliances and so they were charged $200 for that 'special' service. Doing the math, that's $600 for mopping and kitchen appliance cleaning. Maybe 3 hrs of work? After doing our own research we decided to pursue a complaint in Benton County small claims court. The choice to use court mediators was agreed upon to come up with an understanding / agreement that wouldn't required a judge. During mediation Paul Pinion was dismissive, patronizing, and intimidating - going so far as to threaten my son with 'large prevailing party and legal fees' if he was to pursue this beyond mediation into small claims court. (CIVICS NOTE FOR PAUL: small claims court does not allow lawyers, so you own your 'legal fees' Further, prevailing party fees are limited by Oregon law and awarded by the judge to offset reasonable costs - they are not punitive and so you shouldn't be threatening a renter with something beyond your authority) Paul also said that the floor cleaning charges were actually $600 (not matching the invoice he provided to my son upon move-out), but he thought that was excessive (you think?!?) and so he only charged $400. Suffice to say, mediation brought no solutions. I am a retired Marine Corps officer. My son is a Marine Corps officer candidate, and one of his roommates is an Army ROTC scholarship student. Both are OSU engineering majors and non-Oregon residents. I don't mentioned this to say they / we deserve a break or some special privilege. Suffice to say these young men know how to clean (vacuum, dust, sweep, mop, etc.). They are being brought up and trained to set examples and lead in harsh environments. We expect that they will be held accountable for the well-being of other human beings, equipment and property. If they said they spent 12 hours cleaning, then I believe them. Moving into small claims court, Judge Keri Smith rules in favor of Pinion. Paul's demeanor in court seemed smuggly confident. His management behavior is encouraged by the court, so I imagine he'll continue padding his profits with arbitrary and capricious charges. We won't be renting with Pinion again. If you do, good luck.

Where do I begin? My boyfriend and I were couch surfing when…read moreone of our friends called us and said he had found a 3 bedroom house that was decently close to campus. We decided to check it out with him. When we toured the house there was an insane amount of rat feces in the kitchen as well as rat poison in the garage. There were cracks in the walls and holes that had been covered up with some shitty putty and then painted over with a color that did not match the walls at all. We were desperate so we said, "screw it" and decided to sign the lease. When I brought up the rat feces, they said they had no record of rats at the premises. Um, okay, but there ARE rats there. The feces is everywhere! They also had no idea that a washer and dryer were on the premises as well. They obviously did not do a walk through after the previous tenants left and were just letting prospective tenants see this shit hole. Also, the backyard was a complete wreck. There was a "compost pile" that blackberries were growing out of, everything was overgrown, and they told us it was OUR responsibility to take care of the jungle. So, because we were essentially homeless, we moved into this place. When my roommate tried to get on the lease, he had no rental references, so they kicked him out. Apparently, just living in the dorms isn't a rental reference to them. Next, during the terrible flooding that happened during this past winter, our heater (which was located UNDER the house in a crawl space no bigger than 5 feet wide and 6 feet deep), broke. We went without heat for over 2 months, IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. We put in MULTIPLE maintenance requests and called them daily to no avail. They said they had to get in touch with the home owners, who apparently lived in Germany, to get the insurance papers from them. I'm sorry, but aren't you a rental agency? Shouldn't you ALREADY have that insurance ON HAND? Nope. They offered us space heaters which are completely inefficient and are a fire hazard, but never said they would incur the cost of the electric bill. After the long months of waiting, two men showed up on my door step and said they were there to fix the heater. Kampfer did not warn me that repair men were coming, so I had to stay home all day and consequently miss all of my classes. Even after the men worked on the heater for 8 hours, they still weren't done, and had to come back the next day to finish it. I WILL say that the men were extremely nice, because they were not from Kampfer. After we moved out, we cleaned for 15 hours, scrubbing the walls, washing curtains, and scraping anything and everything. When they returned our security deposit, they said that we owed THEM money for not cleaning a place that was never cleaned to begin with! One thing I will mention though is Larry Kampfer is a very nice and sincere man. The women that work for him however have NEVER said a nice thing to me. They were ALWAYS rude and NEVER gave me a decent tone. Honestly, they were straight up bitches. BOTTOM LINE! DO NOT RENT FROM KAMPFER. THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER AND TAKE YOUR MONEY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT MAKING YOU HAPPY AND GIVING YOU A HOME. THEY ARE JUST MONEY HUNGRY SCUM. Except for Larry Kampfer who is quite nice.
