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.

Our experience with this company was positive for most of our lease, but everything changed during…read morethe move-out process. The biggest issue was the lack of communication from our assigned property manager. On multiple occasions, I had to reach out several times before receiving a response, and I rarely received updates unless I continuously followed up. At one point, I was eventually told that their internet had been down, but it would have been helpful to know that earlier rather than having to call repeatedly wondering why I wasn't receiving a response. The handling of our security deposit was by far the most frustrating part of the entire experience. We were charged over $400 for carpet cleaning even though our property manager had specifically told us that we did not need to have the carpets professionally cleaned. We also had to dispute multiple other charges that we felt were unnecessary. We had taken very good care of the property and genuinely felt that we left the house in better condition than when we moved in. When we moved in, the backyard had weeds that were over a foot tall. During our tenancy, we maintained the property and kept the yard and home in great condition. It was extremely frustrating to feel like we were being nickel-and-dimed for every possible thing after we had been responsible tenants. After we continued fighting to get our money back, our property manager remained unhelpful and, in our experience, disrespectful. Eventually, she told me that if I disagreed with the charges, I would have to take the matter to court with the landlord. Thankfully, the landlord was much more understanding. He acknowledged that we had been great tenants and ultimately recognized that we should receive some of our deposit back. What was most disappointing was that we felt the property management company was not on our side throughout the process and made what should have been a straightforward move-out experience unnecessarily difficult. Overall, the property and our tenancy were good, but the way the move-out and security deposit were handled left a very negative impression. If you rent through this company, I would strongly recommend documenting everything from move-in through move-out, taking plenty of photos, keeping all communication, and being prepared to advocate for yourself when it comes to your security deposit. Our biggest issue wasn't even the fact that there were deductions--it was the lack of communication, the difficulty getting answers, and the way we were treated when we questioned charges we believed were unfair. After being good tenants and taking care of the property, we expected a much better experience when it came time to move out.

Prior to moving in, the day I was supposed to sign my lease, I read the yelp reviews in the parking lot. They were awful. I thought well maybe these are just one off people that are disgruntled and have unrealistic expectations. I walked in to make my payment for the deposit, and the girl at the front desk was rude and dismissive- to the point I walked out. I called the property manager and expressed my concerns with the reviews and the front desk. He reassured that they had an excellent reputation on google and the yelp people were crazy and had unrealistic expectations of a rental agreement. I believed him and rented from them. Then they sent out a notice a few weeks ago stating somebody would come by to change out the ac filters- not to worry they have keys and to lock up pets. Pets were locked up, but they didn't enter. They left the air filter for me to put into the AC unit and then charged me $75 but aren't going to come back to do the work?? They can't say what the $75 pays for and wont budge on waiving the fee even though they could have entered to do the work they needed to do. When this was brought to their attention, they declined to make any customer service gesture and doubled down on the fee. It's a complete money grab and so are all of their other "fees". Tbh I used to be a home owner and I thought i'd be saving myself a headache in renting but it seems like owning is probably a better move. Service star clearly doesn't have any customer service skills and care about their profit and the people who rent their homes through the company.

Brandon Boxrud at Apartment Hunters managed my rental townhouse in Chandler for more than 10 years…read morewhile I lived out of state. It can be frustrating and worrisome to be a property owner when you aren't anywhere nearby, but I had total trust in Brandon to take care of things. He led a few renovation projects for me and was always able to get good tenants in quickly. When it came time for me to sell the place recently, I turned to Brandon, who is also a real estate agent. He again managed some reno projects to freshen up the place for sale -- all without me having to come to AZ. The townhouse sold within a week of it going on the market at a very good price, better than I'd hoped. I had to pay a commission for Brandon's services as a real estate agent and an additional commission to Apartment Hunters, since he was working in that capacity. It was a little pricey but I felt it was well worth it for me to have peace of mind and not have to worry about doing any of the prep work myself. I'd recommend Brandon to anyone in the Phoenix/East Valley area needing property management services or real estate services.

We were really interested in a property here in Gilbert, it's been on the market for over 64 days…read more I had filled out a form thru this particular companies on-line link to tour this home. Through the prompts and towards the end of my process, it requested me to provide my credit card as verification, so I opted out and x'ed out. Within seconds- I received a call from Raphael at Rosenbaum Reality Group. Talk about a "bait and switch"! LOL From this conversation I was able to book a tour (without payment) of the property that same day. I was provided the access code to enter with my family when we arrived to the address. It had just rained, so we found many concerns from that alone. This was an older home with zero upgrades, back yard needed some landscaping done, front entry needed the bird poop & cobwebs removed. The deck off the Master Bedroom had some wood rot (probably from rain water settling in those areas) and had portions where it was extremely unstable. NOT SAFE!! That said, the view from the home is what you are paying for bottom line! We thought additional work would have to go into cleaning & questioned that as the renters. Would we have been responsible for additional tidying up at move-in as this home was seemingly being rented "as is"?! I addressed these concerns with Raphael and proposed a bid at $2,800 a month to the owner. The owner countered back with still a price range that was to high (for the conditions of the home) and not in our budget especially with ALL the additional expenses this property management company charges. Administrations Fee- These property management companies can charge a 1.9% to 3.3% MONTHLY administrative fee! Plus, a renters "benefit package" that's mandatory and another $75 dollars MORE a month along with the one time admin fee of $250 upon acceptance, that is also non refundable! *The Catch- With most of these shady Property Management Companies it seems fairly standards to tack on these ridiculous / bogus charges to make up for the loss when Arizona cities took away the residential rental taxes. So, that means property owners can no longer impose a tax on residential rentals after December 31, 2024. Yet, this is how they're working around it to still suck that money out of the renter, by making it look legit and there's no option to opt out! They claim they have a $350 redecorating fee?! That's just a fancy term for a cleaning fee, which clearly they don't clean prior to you touring and or when you rent! So, are they actually doing this prior to move in or just keeping your money and calling it something it's not?! You decide based off touring their rentals! *Important Note- Standard Deposit ( if you get any money back at the end of your lease, this can be used toward the purchase of a home specifically the closing costs. Just not the one you're leaving or any of their other rental properties! They have an enrollment choice (do not do this) which is cheaper. However, it's prorated with an additional percentage that is added and divided by your 12 month lease. It's almost $900 more annually! You do not get these funds back at all-ZERO. I suggest you stay far away from dealing with this incompetent liaison agency and best of luck in your rental house hunting.
