We've been with Blue oak going on year 2, and we have had such positive interesting with them. Everything we need fixed gets fixed. The owners even extended our lease another year and insured is that they wouldn't sell after the fire. It was a very huge worry off of our minds for SURE. They are friendly and helpful and really care. When we moved into our first house with them we noticed a cigarette odor that nobody had noticed before it was so troubling to me, that they found us another place and we moved a second time in the same week. They went above and beyond what anybody could have hoped for and we really appreciate them being so accommodating. We are very happy with them! Thank you Blue Oak! :) read more

The best property management Great communication always do the best for their clients. Cecilia read more

Responds to maintenance requests quickly. Pete was very helpful and informative with replacing my sink and faucet.

Parents and students beware! This was the worst property management company that we have ever experienced- they did not make repairs on the rental property even when it was a safety issue, lied about the conditions of house at move in and move out (ie, items were new when they were not), and charged the rental deposit for cleaning that was already done. An animal died beneath the house or in the attic and the smell was awful - they did nothing about it. They claimed animals urinated on the carpets but we had no pets. They should lose their business license. it was a really bad experience! read more

This is a terrible company to conduct business with. I found their policies for security deposit returns to be very unfair and seemingly designed to take advantage of renters, especially students. I received my security deposit after 21 days but decided post mark was probably advantages to them so decided not to pursue. I was able to determine the amount of my deposit by using my online account with Blue Oak and tried to discuss this with Linda but was told that they do not discuss the terms of security deposits over the phone and later in the conversation told they would not discuss said terms without me having the physical explanation of services delivered by mail. Delay, delay and delay. You have a choice of management companies when shopping for a rental. I suggest using someone else. read more

*PLEASE READ UP ON ANYTHING BEFORE MAKING A DECISION* Do your research! If I could give a 0 on Yelp I 100% would. I've been with Blue Oak for 5 and a half years and it's been nothing but headaches. 1. HORRIBLE communication 2. Poor Response time 3. The managers are ABSOLUTELY no help unless you go into the office yourself to get things done. 4. They charge fees for EVERYTHING (even when you can buy it yourself and replace it) we're currently getting charged $10 a month for an air filter every 3 months when they CLEARLY cost $6 at Home Depot. 5. They do not let the tenant know when they are going to show up. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Like I said do your research and avoid businesses like this one. read more

Pete was on time, performed the work quickly and gave excellent customer service.

Great property management company. The rent is fair, and when our bathroom was flooded from upstairs, the response was prompt. Phil did a awesome job and service. That guy is a major asset to your company. Definitely wouldn't mind sticking with you guys for a while. read more

Wish there was a way to give negative stars. By far the worst property management company in Chico, Stay Away. Throughout our 12 month lease they completely neglected all of their simple duties such as no move in/move out conditions, random charges with no reasoning, no check ins. horrible communication on every platform. Would blame tenants for lack of communication or use family life as an excuse. Plumbing problem? Blue Oak needs about 2 weeks to find a contractor to do 20 minutes of work. You would be lucky to get any security deposit back and if you do it will take a minimum of 4 months for it to be returned to you - We are still waiting. read more

Pete has helped us out so much. He is good at his job. Very friendly and helpful. We've only been in our apartment for a month. Our first problem we has was lost water pressure in our kitchen sink he happened to be close by and with in 15 minutes he was at our apartment and fixed the problem. read more

I moved away from Blue Oak 4 years ago and they erroneously opened a collections against me. I have never goofed on a payment and have a credit score of 820+. EDIT: They have since resolved this issue. While I wish it never occurred in the first place, I appreciate the manager Lee working with me to get this resolved. read more

Laziness and lack of moral compass is the best I can describe this outfit. Especially Linda.. to put in less kindly terms the king shitbaggers of shitbaggery. Do not trust them.Very good sales pitch, thats wherr anything good ends. Youll end up in court just to get repairs done. Do business at your own risk. Their work remotely and let apps do everything equals no quality and things never being dealt with. Once they suck you in both landowners and tenants, its endless hamster wheel and run around trying to get an actual person to take care of an actual problem. Most good reviews are from tenants feeling bad for their maintenance guy who is the only one that actually works but has to hustle a good review to get any bonus or raises. Total bullshit company. read more

Blue Oak has been pretty great on maintenance, specifically Pete, he always goes the extra mile and still can fix things quickly. Thanks Pete! read more

I tried to call this company off the website. Was forced to fill out my info an only options was their time frame of availability like a week ahead, not mine. Id like to have talked to someone to go see the place promptly. all the sudden 2 hrs prior to the schedule they canceled said its being lived in already. i scheduled off work for that. They are just lucky it happened to be raining that day and work was slow otherwise id be down someones throat.. bad service.. i woudlnt recommend wasting time looking into their properties of any kind. read more

Pete is awesome! Always very communicative and makes sure he addresses everything that might be an issue

tl;dr: Blue Oak Property Management is misleading and unresponsive. They do not take care of their tenants. I've been a tenant for a month now. Let's review with how that's gone: - They misrepresented the property when I first toured. I was told water and landscaping were included. They aren't. - The fence is literally falling apart and no update on that being fixed. - Despite a pest problem, they told me they wouldn't do anything. I've been responsible for getting it taken care of. - The stove was installed with the wrong parts, causing a hazardous gas leak, so PG&E capped the pipe until it was fixed. - I have a laundry list of things that need to be fixed but no updates. - They didn't clean or touch up paint before we moved in. - Their site misrepresented when payment was due and they threatened late fees. - They don't call when they say they will and ignore the majority of calls or emails. My suggestion is to avoid them. Update: I came home to people in my backyard and large sections of my fence gone with zero notification beforehand. The missing section was left, along with the old fence material for two days before they came back unannounced again. I just got notification that they'll be back in less than an hour. I've received multiple work notifications for some of the things requested less than an hour before the work was scheduled to be done. read more

This company is a bunch of thieves! I found out they had my apartments building laundry hooked up to my place for 2 years, they refused to pay me back the 6000$ in electric and and tried kicking me out, the owner Chris H is also very unprofessional and racist, f this place I wouldn't n ver rent a house from them ever read more

Make up lies about good tents and don't take care of anything there office is aways closed and they don't return calls also support there slum Lourdes that jack up there rents when something goes wrong with homes make the wait months for service like two months waiting for heating system they also take advantage of camp fire victims and that are just trying to rebuild there live . Nothing good to say about this company. read more

We've been with Blue Oak for a while now, and have found the company to be super responsive and available. I do recommend. Thanks Leigh!

As a tenant we have had great communication and service from blue oak. Upon moving into our rental we had a few items that needed attention. They acted quickly to fix those items. Both Hailey and Pete the maintenance person were professional and gracious. Pete did a wonderful job making our new home a comfortable place. Steve the other maintenance man was also awesome! read more

Very scammish... I'd advise looking for a house with literally any other property management in town. Very poor communication too

Pete came over to my new house today to do some repairs and was super helpful! He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and provided excellent service. I hope he's our guy for any repair we have/need. read more

This review is for Pete R who did our maintenance request! He came on time and fixed our ceiling fan lights. He was very nice and helpful. Would give him 10 stars if I could! Thank you Pete!! read more

Super quick and reliable maintenance! Submitted a request yesterday and they immediately replied and came out today ! Pete was super helpful and friendly! Big shoutout to Pete ! Thank you ! read more

Blue oak has been providing excellent service for me for several years. My rep is Leigh and she handles everything. From answering tenant issues to retaining tenants she is the best. Always keeps me informed of major things but handles all the small issues. I had a water heater leak all over the apartment and was a huge insurance claim. She handled everything with expertise and confidence. Highly recommend this company. read more

when you call property office you actually can talk to a very helpful human!! If you leave a message your call is returned almost immediately!! Excellent customer service!! read more

As a first time renter traversing the market was initially difficult. Thankfully, Shannon and Hailey made the whole process easy and exciting! Shannon was very polite, quick with answering questions and informing us of new developments in properties that fit our interest. Hailey was exceptional in ensuring everyone was kept informed during the lease signing phase and negotiation. I can gladly say that these two have made this experience particularly special to me and I am looking forward to working together with them in the future! read more

I've been with blue oak for almost 2 years now and I honestly can say it is an utter disappointment every time they come around it feels like harassment with all the attitude and demands. Specially CAMERON. He walks into your home like he owns the place and tells you what to do with YOUR living space as if he paid the rent. Completely trash of property management. read more

This review is mainly for the maintenance guy, Pete. We had scheduled our smoke detector to get fixed today at 3. The smoke detector is too high up for my husband to reach and it had gotten to the point to where it would go off if we turned on our stove. Shortly before 3, Pete called me and said he's running late and that he would try to make it to us by the end of day so we could use our stove again. We honestly didn't think he would make it to us by the end of the day but he did! He came in with his mask, played with our pup for a bit and fixed our smoke detector in no time! We really appreciated Pete staying on the job a little later than normal (and even missing the beginning of game 6 of the World Series) to fix this issue for us! read more

Pete is a great guy. He inspected the whole house and fixed whatever seemed to be broken. We listed some things but didn't even notice half of the things that were broken he really went beyond the expectations. 10/10 recommend read more

Our experience has been nothing but terrible in ever way. It's absolutely obvious they think they can screw over college students and every time we've called they are either unresponsive or don't help at all. - They lied to us when we first moved in about having heat and air when really we had a swamp cooler and a 1800s heater. When it was 91 degrees in our apartment they claimed it was "not an emergency" and we had to live in the heat for a week as they failed to answer our calls and questions. - They didn't paint or clean carpets before we moved in and our walls are dirty with holes everywhere. - our shower has mold above it - pieces of the flooring are coming off despite the fact we have little to no foot traffic besides us. - we have no key to our deadbolt and they installed the knob upside down/the door has to be slammed to shut. We also weren't given a key to the door on the other side of the apartment. - when we moved in almost every lightbulb was out including the fridge and bathroom. Even though the price of rent is nice I will NEVER be going back to blue oak and an afraid they are going to take my deposit for the things THEY never fixed or dealt with. read more

Very bad experience with Leigh and Blue Oak- lots of miscommunication and inconsistencies with repairs and customer service. Wouldn't refer them to owners or tenants. read more

Great response time and fix on our issue. This is about our 3rd or 4th time having Pete work on our house and he always is polite, efficient, and does great work! Thanks again Pete. read more

Blue Oak has managed our property since 2012. I cannot say enough about their service and professionalism. Michael and Leigh have always kept us informed of upcoming vacancies, special maintenance needs, etc. They fill vacancies immediately, and we've always received our rent on the 10th of each month. The property was recently vacant, so we decided to take a look. My husband and I haven't seen the house in almost 10 years, and were extremely impressed with the condition of both the interior and exterior. I cannot say enough about Leigh, she responds to emails and telephone calls immediately, and taken excellent care of our property. They also have a useful Owner Website where you can pull up income and expense reports, and other information. I highly recommend this property management team! read more

Thanks again Pete! I was happy to have you as our maintence guy. You are always professional and kind. Most importantly you do a great job! Blue Oak is lucky to have you . Thanks again!!! read more

Blue oaks has let my sister and her kids go without air conditioning during the summer now NO HEAT and it's cold !! She has a six year old daughter and blue oaks doesn't give a care that they are freezing !! She has been waiting for months and they tell her that they need more estimates.And that's when she can finally get them to respond to many calls and emails. I tried calling today and Steven's phone goes right to voicemail and he has yet to respond even though I said Please call me ASAP regarding one of your properties. Heck it could have been an emergency, to not have heat is an emergency. They've been sleeping in the living room to try and stay warm because the bedrooms are so cold !! My name is Lisa Maldonado . Steven you have my contact info on your voicemail please call me ASAP or please fix the heater ASAP !! read more

I am extremely disappointed with my overall renting experience with blue oak. I would not recommend this company. Ever since moving into this property I've had nothing but issues resulting in hot summer days with No A/C, extremely high PG&E bills due to leaking water heater and faulty breaker box, the list continues It's almost a joke at this point. The only positive about Blue Oak is a maintained worker named Pete. Pete from Blue Oak property's maintenance department is out of sight. Always going above and beyond to help out. I really enjoy working with him read more

This has been by far the worst rental property management I have every worked with. It has been over 2 months and we still haven't gotten our security deposit back. Terrible communication, and during my stay at their property, they would overcharge for everything we would have problems with. I would never recommend anyone to do business with these scam artists. read more

I moved out of a Blue Oak managed property located at 262 1/2 White Ave. almost exactly a year ago. I recently learned that the situation that forced me to vacate the home is just now beginning to be fixed. I'm shocked to find out that the ordeal I went through was forced on another unsuspecting tenant. Due to this information I feel it is important I share my story. On November 9th 2015 the power went out at about 4:30 pm. I searched the home for a fuse box and found nothing. I called Blue Oak and received no response and was forced to call PG&E. Six hours later when a representative arrived he found the fuse box for 262 1/2 was located on 262 white avenue, a separate property located in front of 262 1/2. PG&E was quick to point out that the entire home was being run off a 30 amp fuse, which is an inadequate power source. He stated the fuse box and cover were completely unsafe and likely from the 1950's which made him hesitant to touch the fuse. Eventually PG&E was able to put a band aide on the situation by putting a 25 amp fuse in the box. The next day I was informed by email by blue oak that they would look into the matter. I continued to completely lose power 2-3 times a week until January 10th when I moved out. 4-5 lights and appliances was all it took to blow the fuse, and it generally happened in the evening after I got home from work. Every time the power went out (often times in the dark and rain) I was forced to remedy the situation myself. I continued to reach out to blue oak property management in an effort to express the severity of the situation. I purchased the replacement fuses myself and eventually electrical gloves after shocking myself. Even with the gloves on the fuse box would spark violently when I had to change the fuse in the rain. It was pretty unpleasant to say the least. After receiving no assistant from Blue Oak or my property manager Chris Herbert I called the City of Chico Code Enforcement office. On 11/25/15 code enforcement officer Roy Wallis alerted Blue Oak and the property owners of the severity of the situation. The letter informed everyone the home was in violation of code 17920.3 listed under substandard building conditions. It states that all wiring for a home must be in accordance with current laws, is in good and safe condition and working properly. The notice also included the information that "the panels in question are dilapidated, outdated and pose an imminent fire danger." According to the notice all repairs were supposed to be made by 12/9/15. After learning the home was an imminent fire danger I was forced to remove my dog from the home for his own safety while I was at work. I continued to try and get assistance from Blue Oak and continued to receive no help. My rights were violated as a renter and I unknowingly moved into a home that was deemed uninhabitable by the city. I did not owe rent on the home since the moment the issue was brought to the attention of the property managers and the proper measures to fix the fuse box and wiring were not taken. Unfortunately I had already paid Novembers' rent but I refused to pay for December as well as the first part of January. Blue oak ended up taking my entire deposit of $1550.00and then sent me a bill for 2,384, which I do not owe and will never pay. After this ordeal I am still shocked and horrified by the way Blue Oak Property Management chose to handle the situation. They ended up renting the place back out the next month in the exact same condition. read more
