Rent was very reasonable for a beautiful high-ceilinged 1-bed, 1-bath full of natural sunlight in the middle of uptown Oakland. We had a full-sized washer and dryer in unit, a gated parking spot, and even a small front yard with a loquat tree. Laura, Nick, Chandra and team were always friendly, supportive beyond our tenant-landlord relationship, and quick to respond to maintenance requests, which were easy to place using the online portal provided. This was by far my best experience renting in my time in the US, and I miss my former apartment already.

My partner had to decide to rent or sell his house. We met with Nick from Ukiyo twice and we were…read moreso impressed with his knowledge, direct approach and patience. We were looking forward to having them manage our rental and felt very confident with the selection based on the support and communication provided. We have had to put renting on hold but Ukiyo will be our first call if we decide to move ahead.

We saw a property on the Ukiyo website, and they quickly accommodated a tour. My partner toured the…read moreunit and loved it, so we applied. Saj was in touch with us frequently through the application process, but once our applications were submitted, communication was less consistent. That said, we found out the next day that we were approved! At least, we thought we were. Nobody at Ukiyo had confirmed whether we have pets (we do, and didn't want to double-list them with multiple adults applying), so they had to recalculate the deposit and needed us to provide vaccination records. Once we did so, we paid the deposit and went to bed, feeling like the next day we would pick up keys to our next home. Instead, we found out that the property owner doesn't allow pets, and that our entire application process was wasted. Not only are we not moving into what we thought would be our home for the next decade, but also we're having to find another option and wasted a week of time and energy. I can't claim I understand property management. That said, either the owner provided incorrect information to Ukiyo (in which case Ukiyo needs to do a better job screening owners since they "don't work with just anyone" according to their site) or Ukiyo didn't ensure that they had the correct information in their listing. Whichever is the case, the entire process has left us with a terrible impression of Ukiyo's business. It's already exhausting enough to navigate bay area housing without this kind of mess.

Attempted to use them again in February and March 2016, and although there were no listings that met my criteria, I felt that the staff could have been more friendlier and more courteous. They may be pushy to complete a rental application, so that you may pay their fee. But don't feel the pressure to do this folks, until you physically view a place that meets your criteria. You do have a couple of options on Alameda, if you choose to search through a rental agency. Do your homework.

Oak Tree took over the property management of the apartment complex I was living at in El Cerrito…read moreand, bless their hearts, made a feeble attempt at trying to improve the disaster that the previous property management company, BG Asset Management, left behind. For the love of all that is holy, please steer clear of renting any units on Central Avenue in El Cerrito!!! Between the mold in the walls, an active and years old cockroach infestation, three out of four broken washing machines at any given time and the rats that like to just hang out in the courtyard and the parking garage, it is just not worth it! After a repair job on the roof was performed by Oak Tree's maintenance crew when they took over earlier this year, the cockroach problems managed to get worse. Don't let the fancy paint jobs or $500.00 off the first month's rent fool you about Oak Tree's Central Avenue available units. All the paint and deals can't fix a property in need of a full building fumigation and mold remediation. Skip on by Oak Tree...

As a longtime San Francisco landlord, I've worked with several property management companies, and…read morethis team continues to stand out for their professionalism, responsiveness, and deep understanding of the city's complex landlord-tenant laws. Their expertise has been invaluable in navigating compliance issues and avoiding costly mistakes in such a regulated market. A special acknowledgment goes to Marsha in the front office, who is the heart of the operation. She is exceptionally attentive, courteous, and proactive. Marsha not only ensures tenant concerns are addressed promptly but also makes a real effort to find cost-effective solutions--often going out of her way to source better-priced vendors without sacrificing quality. Her diligence and communication have consistently given me peace of mind as a landlord. While the back-office team is competent and detail-oriented, I've noticed that the newer property manager occasionally relies on higher-cost vendors and has a slower turnaround time on certain maintenance issues. This has modestly affected profit margins, but the overall service quality and compliance remain high. Despite these minor challenges, I would still highly recommend this company. They genuinely care about both landlords and tenants, take responsibility for resolving problems, and manage properties with integrity and professionalism. It's rare to find a management team in San Francisco that combines such legal knowledge, hands-on service, and genuine client advocacy--and this firm does exactly that.

They also charge the owners if a tenant no shows their repair call. Like most recent homeowner reviews, I dealt with the same issues. The final straw was when they quoted me $7k for a repair that was only 3k as I was familiar with the work/industry. Huge up charge and fake billing items. After giving them their 60 days termination notice, they snuck their repair crew in to do "sewer cleaning." In 2024, the property collected 24k in rent but had 4.3k in fees and charges.
