I am also not sure why this company received any bad reviews. This office was so accommodating from beginning to end. Jennifer is so amazing to work with. Through this process, I learned that she has a background in Hotel Hospitality, which explains her excellent customer service skills! We hired them to help us with our rental property and I cannot say enough about how fast, efficient and supportive they have been throughout. They were on top of any repairs we needed and served as a supporting tie between us and the new tenant. We have worked with other management companies in the past, and this group far exceeded our expectations. read more

Slumlords. They refuse normal repair requests or drag their feet and the manager Jennifer acts childish and annoyed if you remind her. She will do anything to avoid doing her job, including ignore you. When I've stood my ground and requested she follow through she has literally yelled in my face and been aggressive for no reason. Kay in the front office acts annoyed if you even call for a simple question. These ladies do not have an ounce of kindness or customer service and are disrespectful and accusatory before you even speak. This company is greedy and only concerned about collecting rent. They take advantage of military members because they know you are a guaranteed paycheck. They require yearly inspections and take photos inside of every tenants home, including every room and personal belongings. This was not disclosed to us at lease signing and is an invasion of privacy. They don't ask what date works for you, they just show up with sometimes less than 24 hour notice because they've stuck a paper on my door after 5pm the night before. The manager Jennifer has to constantly be reminded of tenant laws. Why are they so concerned about having photos inside my home while they refuse repairs? Slumlord behavior. Thank God we left. Our deposit was returned late after the legal timeframe and they acted annoyed when I called to check to see if it got lost in the mail when really they hadn't even issued it. They claim to be Christian but do not act like it. This company takes advantage of tenants and knowingly violates laws! Avoid at all costs! read more

I'm a landlord interested in property management and spent 10 minutes on the phone with the receptionist taking details about my property and no one ever bothered to call me back. Just another backwater Yucca Valley business that thinks they are entitled to your money. read more

I will never recommend these people....Our Garbage disposal has been down for 3 months now. I have requested multiple times to be fixed, but it never gets done. When i request it to be fixed, they write it down and thats as far as it goes. This next month. I turn the whole thing over to the Renters association. They are the epitome of SLUM LORDS. They are a sick disgusting company. read more

I wish I could give no ratings for this! I called to enquire about an apt and the address lady Kay, was extremely rude, speaking over me almost yelling, not being helpful and completely unprofessional! I've never dealt with such illiterate scum bags ever and these people are disgusting! Do yourself a favor and stay far away from these scammers read more

Quick to answer my emails/calls, I enjoy working with the whole team. I trust them with my properties full heartedly. I've had a lot of friends rent from them, all good things to say. Highly recommend! read more

They called for an electrical problem. We immediately rushed over to help since it was a first time customer. We wanted to give them the best time response only to be ignored by the management after we found the problem. They said that they paid via Venmo so that I would get paid right away but my phone was blocked after I tried contacting them for payment. Shame on this company. read more

Affordable Rentals takes cleaning fees from every security deposit regardless of cleaning. Security deposits are refunded late past the 21 day maximum time limit. They dicker over the smallest thing and are unresponsive to repairs. They do not disclose problems with units such as unlivable over-heating. They do not properly vet new tenants. read more

Stopped in to ask about a house to rent, before we could ask a single question the woman at the second desk in the front office started talking over us. We went able to ask a question about any rental and we were told that they only deal with people online. We were shooed out of the office, still confused about something on their flyer. Why she couldn't have answered a single question is beyond me, sounds like they don't want to make money. Not only are they losing out on tenants, but they're paying her to turn people away, she must be related to the owner because I don't see a reason anyone would actually want her to "work" for their company. read more

If I could give less then one star I would. Jennifer and Kay are both very unprofessional and dishonest. At first we spoke too Jennifer about a rental unit she was nice and helpful but then Kay came back from "vacation " and it was down hill from there. I submitted my application and emailed my documents I just called a few days after I sent it too see if they got it Kay answered she was rude, she kept talking over me, she just kept repeating she just got back from vacation and I'm swamped I'll get too it when I get to it kinda thing. I waited a week too call her back when I did she again said she just got back from vacation and she's swamped and she'll get too it when she gets to it again she was rude and talked over me. When we spoke too Jennifer she said one thing about our income portion and when I spoke too Kay she said something totally different. When we spoke too Jennifer she said she was just Kay's assistant and Kay handled everything so submit our application and she'd speak too Kay. Then when we spoke too Kay she said she was just Jennifer assistant and Jennifer was the boss. After not hearing from Kay for a few days she calls and said she's got all my stuff in but the application fee for both of us so we drove down there to give it too her again she was rude and kept talking over use when we get there she said that she just got back from vacation and that she had seven applications too review before mine she still took the money then tells us oh yea the property your looking at is no longer available then she gives us a list of other places and asks us too pick but we only get too pick one. We decided not too go with them so we called and asked for our money back since she hadn't gotten to my application I figured it was ok she said Jennifer was out for the day and she would ask her if it was ok too give me back the money then asked for my name and number. I wanted too go look at something on my application but the link was no longer available now it made sense why she asked for my info again. Also when I called her she said she was trying too call me but my app was one digit off and she didn't know my number but she had my partners phone number. I left her a email asking for my money back and letting her know we were going another route. I got no response back this morning so I called her and again she's rude and talking over me she says she did see it and responded but I got nothing. When I ask if she spoke too Jennifer Today she said no I told you yesterday I would ask her about your money after she comes back from being out in the field but she told me she was done for the evening and would speak too her today. It's a lot of back and forth and saying one thing but then say another thing later not keeping there facts straight. I would not work with this company at all the rude, unprofessional, and down right disrespectful. DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM read more

This place is absolutely rude and unpleasant. After having an amazing conversation with an owner of a property I was given there info to start the process of applying etc. When I called the first time the lady who answered literally would not let me speak a word and actually was yelling above me so that I even when I tried to speak I wasn't heard. I'm actually shocked.. like dont you guys want to rent places... You literally lost the best possible tenant of your life due to your behavior... read more

I am currently in the process of a possible rental and both Kay and Syrena have been more then kind too my family and answered all my bothersome questions with a kind response and acknowledgment. I would recommend you contact them for all rental needs . read more

I submitted an application for a rental with this agency on May 12th, 2020. They called the next day to review my application. I was told it could take up to 10 business days to process my application. I called again May 19th and was told my application was half way through the process. Today is June 13, 2020 and I have no received a call or email from them regarding my application. Both apartments I applied for are no longer available. I am very displeased to have wasted $30 for an application fee to receive nothing in return. I was told I would receive an email or phone call whether my application was approved or denied. Would not recommend the waste of time, effort, or money to this rental group. read more

Do not waste your money on an application here as they are discriminatory, unprofessional, and rude. We submitted our application and Kay gave us the run around. She then denied my husbands ESA letter stating that it needs to have our dogs name on it (it doesn't) and said that we could pay a $500 pet deposit to move our application forward. We did not want to do that because our dog is a verified emotional support animal and we have proper documentation. We waited until Monday when the doctors office opened and asked for a new letter with the dogs names on it. Kay then requested a Release of Information to talk to my husbands doctor to verify the ESA letter. My husband signed a release for her to talk to the office whereupon we received a call from the nurse stating she has never been talked to so rude or disrespectful. The nurse stated that Kay called and told them they were "frauds" and that the letter was not valid. My husband suffers from a mental disability, which is the purpose of the ESA. We have tried calling and emailing with no response from Kay. Extremely unprofessional and unethical- we have filed a claim with the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. I am thankful we are not in a bind for housing and that we have access to resources, but it is not acceptable for people to be discriminated against or have rationale explained. read more

Be very careful about renting. documenting and taking photos of everything. Dont expect a refund check for at least a month. They know they have 21 days. They have all the excuses about why you havent received. I moved to Idaho and came across someone that has been burned by these people also. Cant believe no one else thought of yelping these people. Talked to people being sued for damage by past tenants. read more

I called about a two bedroom a parent for me and my children earlier last week. They did call me back however when I told them I had only been at my current job for 3 months they really wanted nothing more to do with me, even though I said I was willing to put down a bigger deposit. Considering on their flyer it says they help with people in a D.V. situations and I reminded the lady I spoke with on the phone of that she still informed me I was unable to rent from them. False Advertising in my book. read more

absolute worst rental management company ive dealt with in my entire life. good lick with the trio of rude and incompetent hens who cant get anything done or help take care of home repairs. read more

This is the worse property management company I've ever dealt with. The manager yelled at me and I was the tenant. They would look thru my windows and spy on me. They run their business illegal and unethically. They steal their customers deposits. This company should be shut down immediately read more

Jennifer was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating with getting a lease set up. Affordable Rentals was very responsive to our questions or calls regarding the property and did their best to fit their timelines with our needs. Would definitely use it again or recommend to friends looking to rent property in Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, or 29 Palms. read more

I am not entirely sure what all the bad reviews are about because that was not my experience at this rental agency. When I called to enquire about the application process, I was greeted by Katlyn, who was very kind and professional. She encouraged me to give them a shot and so I did. I actually met and spoke to J.T. For several hours and I have no idea why anyone would say anything bad about him. He has a very dry sense of humor and is actually hilarious. When I was discussing our rental options with him, he very kindly looked through the available properties and tried to find a property that would work the best for my service animals and my children. In the end, at this time, our family didn't qualify due to credit score for the house that we were considering. We did find housing through another company so it all worked out in the end for everyone. I would strongly urge anyone looking for housing though to consider this company. If they can help you, they will and if they can't they are very kind about that as well! read more

Jennifer is fantastic! she assisted us in renovating our rental property from start to finish. affordable rentals handles our rentals, and we couldn't be happier. if you are interested in property management or renting a property Jennifer and the staff at affordable rentals are the ones to call. we are lucky to have them! thanks again for all your help. Kevin B. read more

Working with affordable rentals was a smooth process. They are extremely quick, efficient, and responsive.

Jennifer is extremely rude, miserable and unprofessional. Don't want to hear about her personal life either. Not a trustworthy person. Had to call the board of realtors on her about her unethical conduct. I mean you put in an application and she says she has a stack of them and is too busy to review them and will get back to you whenever. Never comes to the phone or return calls when you try to follow up with her. My friend rented from them and put up a review and then these dishonest people answer the review making like they don't know who she is. They say that about everyone who makes a comment they don't agree with. They have these drug addicts cleaning the rental units who move into them and party in between tenants and leave the places looking disgusting. When the weather gets hot they take forever to turn on the swamp cooler so you have to sit and suffer. If you have a problem with another tenant blocking your car they won't do anything. They allow tenants to bring in pit-bulls that growl at other tenants kids. One lady had 3 dogs. They don't care. They rent the places out damaged, and stinky. When you go to the office to rent Jennifer is downright nasty saying why don't you just leave the rent in some rent box. Uh no thanks I want to hand it to them myself and get a receipt don't care if it pisses her off or not. read more

I can't say enough good things out Affordable rentals! They've been managing my properties for a few years now and I couldn't be happier! They always keep me up to date with the renters, also very organized with the billing, invoicing etc! I live in Los Angeles so it's been a pleasure having a great Management team! I highly recommend them! read more

I don't recommend this property management company they are horrible they don't return calls Mrs Jennifer and Mrs.Gina need to go back to school and learn more about real estate aswell as property management. Very unprofessional it does not take 3 weeks to return anyone's calls and have the nervous to say I apologise we been busy. FYI there is no law stating you can not receive or accept and 30 or 60 day notice if it's given to youu by a tenant notifying youu they are moving out. read more

We have been renting our house with Affordable Rentals for many years. They have been absolutely fantastic to work with. Before we signed up with them we struggled to find good tenants. Affordable Rentals took all the stress of showing the house and choosing the right people off our hands. They always take care of our tenants needs right away if something is in need of repair. The tenants they choose take great care of our house and we have never had a problem with late rent. Great communication, friendly, a real pleasure to work with. We will always use affordable rentals when we have a home to rent. read more

Absolutely the worst slum lord, rude, and unprofessional agency that I have dealt with in my 35 moves. AC did not work (after I had major surgery) they told me that I had an alternate method to cool the house - open doors and windows. Door bell not working - folks could knock, etc. They should be barred from renting to anyone associated with the base. read more

I am giving a 4 Star because there was a lack of follow through on their end when my boyfriend applied for a home. I do property management myself and was waiting for a call for the approval. Aside from that we dealt with them very little but I have to say that the home my boyfriend got in Joshua tree was very much what he needed and wanted. It's up for rent now, unfortunately my boyfriend got deployed earlier than anticipated and homework no longer needed the place. 61559 Desert air, 2bed 2 bath, washer and dryer, two car attached garage, central AC and Heating and the best neighbor anyone can ask for. The owner was also very nice and a pleasure to work with. Thank you affordable rentals for the little gem, wish we could stay longer. Go rent this house, you won't be disappointed. read more

I applied for a place and didn't know I would be dealing with 2 very sweet and kind ladies! Kay and Jennifer. I was finding the process of finding a place very daunting and it was such a relief to have people who really wanted to help me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! read more

This place I rented was horrible!! It was filthy, the heater and water heater were red tagged by the gas company and I had to insist they replaced the warped back door. They had used an interior door as a back door so also was not up to code. I moved in, cleaned the place up and when I moved out ten months later they kept almost $300 of my $1000 deposit. The place was so much cleaner than when I moved in and they ripped me off. They act nice to you until you leave and your looking for your refund. read more

Awful company. Jt came in my house and yelled at me. Spies on me. They put a notice on my door saying they were coming on Saturday to do repairs which I never requested and never showed up I had plans and had to cancel read more

Virginia Neal, thank you for your comment about how you support your military but that is just not the case. Every single place your company has reviews posted, the majority is negative. Not everyone can be wrong! My, as you says "tails", are extremely accurate. And your comments about late fees are cute but not one of your employees requested a late fee and the ONE time they did I paid it. Also, to the comment about me reading the lease, I did, unfortunately I didn't follow my doctors advice when asked not to sign legal documents two weeks following my surgery. Silly me, coming from and honest and trusting community before moving here I believed my family would not have been taken advantage of, boy was I wrong! I'm glad you understand we paid our rent every month even AFTER I lost my job and struggled to pay, but it was paid. If that wasn't okay with you and your company you should have evicted us. Way to be an understanding company especially when it comes to my children's health with mold behind the walls in the master bath, That you refused to fix, for what reason I'll never know. Maybe the department of environmental health can figure that out for me. Also, not responding to any emails without multiple emails to your employees and/or involvement or threat of involvement of legal aid is pretty unprofessional in my opinion. My husband pleading for this to go smoothly for both sides, since your such an understanding company you know the stress that comes with PCS and would support your military families and ease the process correct? That's what I expect from a supportive company. That not what I got. I got told no we can't do a pre move out inspection for every reason in the book until I threatened base legal involvement. Knowing that people can get orders two weeks before they PCS I would expect understanding on that. Sadly with your company I did not. It was a struggle and still is till this day. Knowing that we are PCSing but still threatening us to have to pay until the end of our lease term EVEN AFTER you have given us our prorated amount of rent, for the house we won't be living in, for the month of April. Supportive? Understanding? No! IMO crooks, money hungry, rude company. PERIOD! Living in the house leased from your company ruined our families quality of life and we cannot wait to be RID of you and your rude employees. Your "beautiful" house that was given to me with dead bugs in the window sills and door jams, leaks into the sunroom, pipes bursting, crap in our tubs, septic system caving in on itself, exposed wires in children's bedrooms, locks and handles on doors that don't work, paint peeling off the walls due to water damage, a pool pump that broke a month after we moved in, mold growing in the bathrooms that didn't have any proper ventilation and a carpet that made my infants knees dirty every time she crawled on it. So dirty right after move in that I had to clean it myself. Not what I call beautiful. My neighbor who lives in the guest house to the main house here deals with the same issues with her house and YOUR employees. She has also posted negative reviews on google. You know the one YOUR employees told could use the pool I pay for. Is she wrong too? I also have been informed her son has claimed to have filed a lawsuit against your company, when HE rented from you...weird I wonder why so many people have problems with such an understanding supportive company. Is he wrong too? Telling tails too? Tell me why your employee Gina stated to my husband "I know how you military are" was that support? Or was your employee implying something negative about our family just because my husband is a marine? Seems to me that you and your employees are the ones telling "tales" not 9 out of 10 tenants. Still a hassle, NOT a revenge post. A company that tries to publicly humiliate and threaten others speaks volumes. So every negative review you try to embarrass and harass your prior tenant?! I find it funny that a "police report" was filed YET to this very day Affordable rentals has failed to contact me or my husband through phone or email which they have both of in their records. Also the "neighbor post" this lying old hag refers to, is simply an employee posing as a neighbor. My review really sucks for your crappy and unprofessional business...8/19/14 read more

This company is very rude. Do not do business with them. Look at the other reviews. They have yelled at me. JT is the worst. I moved out with a notice. Every weekend they would do work on the property. Hammering and drilling. They kept my deposit charged me 10dollars for a dollar stove lightbulb 60 dollars for 20 dollar blinds a nd replaced the carpet for 498 dollars. The carpet was only six months old. It was very clean. My dogs were not allowed in the bedroom. 80 dollars for wiping down walls. These people have no morals. read more

Terrible place to rent from! They were lovely in the beginning to get us to rent from them, but once we moved in, we had nothing but problems with things in the house AND with "maintenance" "fixing" things. As well as they go through office staff like a child goes through clothes. New staff every other month and no one knows anything when you ask them. I do not recommend them at all! read more

Like most folks, my husband and I did not have a good experience with this company. Moved in and the house we rented need all new piping. The place didn't have water for 2 weeks. After a long hard fight with the people on the office, they finally got the owner to agree to fix everything. So, for about 2 weeks, we stayed at a hotel. Not reimbursed for any of it. We returned the little home in better shape then what we received and they still took $150 from our security deposit. $10 for 3 lightbulbs, $60 for cleaning, $75 for weeding.. the home was spotless when we left and the weeding of the yard is a joke since it was not cleaned up upon move in. This company is a poor excuse for management. There are a few good ones in Yucca, so my advice is steer clear of this operation as a renter or owner needing property management. read more

I wouldn't give them any stars if I had the option. I will say we got a dog and did not tell them - dogs were allowed but you had to pay a deposit. Now, with that being said... The linoleum on the floor was not left in the house to acclimate and there was ZERO space between the flooring and wall so the floor buckled from one side of the living room to the other over the time we lived there. When it became obvious it was buckling - we called and someone came out and took pictures. They still kept 500 dollars of the deposit to replace the floor. They said it was water damaged by a dog dish. First off, let's just go with that for a moment. That would leave a ring or a bubble where the puddle had been. There were neither of those things most a giant buckle from one end of the room to the other. How does a water dish do that? Not to mention who keeps dog dishes in the middle of the living room? I'm more than happy to pay for any dog damages but not erroneous ones. Also, there was black mold in the master bath and garage. They were not concerned. I'm not sure if its just living in 29, but the place was FILTHY upon move in. I would never rent from them again. read more

Such great staff!! Rented a property through them for over 3 years. Very diligent and helpful team. Highly recommend their office!!!

We were fortunate to find a nice home in the area from Affordable Rentals. The office staff, particularly Jaime, were very personable and attentive. We had two small problems and two considerable issues with maintenance issues inside and outside of the house which were handled promptly and perfectly. read more

Do not rent from Affordable Rentals! I am an Officer in the Marines. I have dealt with different renal companies over the course of the past eight years, and I can say without reservation, that Affordable Rentals is, by far, the poorest run "business" I have had the misfortune to deal with. 1. My air conditioner broke and I was ignored for 3 months. 95 degrees in my house for 3 months and they wouldn't reduce rent or fix the ac. Its still not fixed. After phone calls were ignored for weeks on end, I had to go to their office and complain like a child just to get a swamp cooler installed months later. 2. The owner of the house foreclosed, yet Affordable Rentals never let me know, the bank had to. Now, Affordable Rentals won't give me my security deposit back, and I am forced to take them to court. I wouldn't reccomend Affordable Rentals to an enemy. They treat tennants like trash, and do not know how to run a business. Do not do business with this shady company. read more

They get no stars, I have spoke w/ my neighbors across the street. Who rent from this so called business. If I ran my business like they treat their tenants. I would be out of business! I guess thats why they call it Affordable Rentals. It's affordable to them, not you,lol.. read more
