I was re/searching property management companies for my first-ever rental property. I wanted…read moresomething local but also an agency that had longevity and, of course, good reputation/reviews. I recognized early that given the sheer impossibility of satisfying all tenants, or owners, no property mgmt company is going to have higher than a 4-star average. And then I came across R.A. with a solid 4+ star average. As I read through dozens and dozens of reviews (here and other platforms), there were a couple of managers themselves who stood out. One was Laina (who turns out to be a supervisor) and the other was Irene. My first inquiries (whether to retain them, what I need to know to be a good LL, and what to watch out for) were directed to Laina as I was preliminarily curious about their management style, prerequisites, and costs. I was especially concerned about the tenant vetting and application process. Laina was extraordinary - always easy to reach and never rushed me in my relentlessly probing questions. I was impressed by the guarantees and the no-commitment promise that RA stands by as well (that's confidence!). Once I had finally settled on RA to manage the house I had purchased I was fortunate to be assigned to Irene. She is meticulous, punctual, responsive, demanding, patient, persistent, and somehow still manages to accomplish all that with good nature. I wouldn't want anyone possessing less than every one of those standards to be responsible for supervising my home. She is also accessible by direct texting and email and has always responded within hours if not minutes. When I thought my house was ready to be listed Irene stopped by to lend her critical eye. I kid you not, she found 15-18 things that needed fixing, cleaning, removing, painting, or installing. And fair warning, many of those issues are deal-breakers for RA (refusing to publish my rental until they were fixed). However, their high operational standards translate into presentability. It took me, plus a hired handyman, almost 2 weeks working every evening and wknd to get the entire list finished... and it made a world of difference. It's remarkable what "you can live with" vs what is appropriately marketable. R.A. was running a summer retainer special of $599 that included all of the above and also professional photos for the listing - on par with the industry. The $99 flat fee/month for management was another selling point. There are a couple of companies that will manage for slightly less (e.g., $75/mo) and a couple that charge a flat 10% per month no matter how high the rental price is (which is ab$urd). RA's costs include two random inspections/year, the dreaded eviction scenario, and it places them between you and the tenant as the primary contact for all things - from complaints, to rent, to repairs. Once you've hired RA, you'll get a monthly newsletter and occasional articles about being a "landlord" and about market conditions in your metro area. They are loaded with helpful tidbits and illuminating graphics. Note: rent is typically due from the tenants on the first of the month but the transfer to your bank account will occur on the 10th or 11th of the month so digure how to float your mrtg payments accordingly. There is a bricks/mortar location just north of Campbell/Ft. Lowell and that was also important to me - to lend legitimacy to the company. It is modest, with basically a front desk and small office but it's staffed by a receptionist M-F from whom you can get sample documents and preliminary questions answered too. At the end of the day, property management is 30% fees/costs and 70% skilled diplomacy -- between owner/Mgmt and between tenant/Mgmt. You need to have those relationships working smoothly, precisely because of the inherent friction points that they so easily generate. In Laina and Irene RA's mgmt team does a tremendous job navigating each.

We recently filled out an application for a rental property in Tucson. They require that all…read morepeople, over the age of 18, fill out the application. So that meant our son, who is a freshmen in college (just graduated from high school last year) had to fill out an application as well. He is living with us to save money and only have to pay tuition. My husband and I both have credit scores in the 800s. Our son, who really doesn't have any credit yet due to his age and recently graduating high school, does not have any credit right now; therefore, his score is low. They denied our rental request due to our son's credit score. FYI, we spent $55 per applicant ($165 total) as well as $60 for both of our pets' "application." Also, our realtor reached out as well, since we recently sold our house, to help us with this situation. This company refuses to call our realtor back and he has called three times. This is extremely unprofessional. I do not agree with this policy, especially since there is no way to fill out another form to explain the situation. However, even if I did understand the policy, they should be more up front with the information. When we emailed the representative about our 19 year old son still living with us, she could have easily told us that there was a high chance we wouldn't get approved due to our young adult son not having a credit score. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!! They will take your application fee(s) and not have any cares about extenuating circumstances or any customer service decency.

I'm extremely disappointed with the way this entire rental experience was handled. I've rented from…read moremultiple companies over the years, and this has by far been the most unprofessional and frustrating process I've ever dealt with. First of all- your office is for appoint only. In which you refuse to meet your tenants and I'm assuming it's due to the shady practices you guys are known for. I've been to your actual "unmarked" office- about 8 offices down from where it's says you guys are on google- where you all hide and brag about how "property owner" comes first but the tenant doesn't matter. The tenant is the one paying your bills- may want to rethink and restructure. From day one, communication was inconsistent, and when issues arose, it always felt like the responsibility was pushed back onto the tenant, even when we followed every step required of us. The sliding glass door situation is a perfect example -- we reported it, waited for a response, were ignored, and then somehow became responsible for a drastically inflated repair bill from the same vendor who quoted us $700 directly. Being charged $2,100 for the exact same repair is unacceptable and absolutely feels like taking advantage of tenants. Regarding my security deposit of $2,992: The home was brand new when we moved in, and we took excellent care of it. The house was still in great condition when we left -- cleaned, maintained, and without any damage beyond normal wear. The charges you've submitted do not reflect the actual condition of the home, and I do not accept the validity of the invoices you provided. I know for a fact the move-out repairs did not cost anywhere close to the deposit amount. This entire experience -- the communication, the handling of maintenance issues, the inflated charges, and the lack of accountability -- has left an extremely negative impression. I will not be recommending your company to anyone, and I will be advising friends, family, coworkers, and anyone seeking housing to avoid renting from you

This company honestly should not be in business. In my experience, they are extremely…read moreunprofessional and difficult to deal with. Once you move in, it becomes almost impossible to get in contact with management. When our AC went out during the summer, our apartment reached 101 degrees and stayed that way for a week. We were not offered a hotel or any temporary solution. We ended up paying out of pocket to fix the AC ourselves, and nothing was deducted from our rent to compensate us. When it came time to move out, communication became even worse. They ignored calls and messages, making the process unnecessarily difficult and seemingly trying to force us to continue paying rent for additional months. Safety is also a major concern. There are frequent break-ins, especially in the laundry room. Strangers regularly attempt to enter the property. I've witnessed ongoing fights, drug activity, and needles and other dangerous items left on the ground where children play. Children are often left unsupervised at the pool. This is not a safe or family-friendly environment. Management is dismissive when concerns are raised. I personally saw a neighbor assaulted by another resident, and nothing meaningful was done. Instead, it felt like management targeted and pressured residents who spoke up. The facilities are poorly maintained, safety is ignored, and the only thing that seems to matter is collecting rent. I would strongly advise anyone considering renting here to look elsewhere.

RUN! Don't walk away from ANY property managed by these people. They are SLUM LORDS. They are all…read morerelated to each other and all their "contractors" (Johnny and Sons, particularly) are just handymen that work for them. I rented a higher end townhome from them in La Paloma. The house was INFESTED WITH RATS, had MOLD GROWING IN THE WALLS, and an old, decrepit AC that routinely broke down and created extremely high electric bills for me. I notified them of the sound of rats in the walls (see video) in early November, and they dragged their feet getting a guy in the attic space until January. The pest control guy said the attic was "full of rat shit". BTW, inhaling rat feces can lead to death (Hanta virus). Mold was discovered in master closet from a leak inside the wall. I had to pay for a mold inspector to come out. During remediation, rat feces and mold can be seen in the videos/pictures I'm attaching. Both my four year old son and I developed coughs and insomnia living here.. not sure if it was from the mold, rat feces, or both. To top it all off, they are now nitpicking over ridiculous things at move out, blaming me for weak water pressure in the kitchen. There is a hose spigot on the other side of the kitchen faucet wall that corroded due to 40 years of neglect and it just busted off. Johnny and sons then "jimmy rigged" the spigot, and the water pressure then nose dived in the kitchen (see corroded spigot). After all this headache (literal), they are now only giving me back half my rental deposit.. even though I left the house in immaculate condition (even paid to have carpets and floors professionally cleaned). Needless to say, I'm now taking them to court.

Short Warning: My experience with New Concept Property Management in Tucson was awful. The home wasn't rent-ready at move-in extremely dirty, overgrown landscaping, and existing damage. Of course they blamed the homeowner. At move-out, they tried to bill us for things that were never in the lease, pre-existing, or undocumented from paint damage to a TV mount, and inflated cleaning fees. They also failed to properly address serious maintenance issues, like a large mesquite tree that fell into a brick wall and took months to repair, then sent a vendor to start removing it with zero notice to us. In addition, mid-lease property inspections may have been conducted by someone without the proper licensing, raising further concerns about compliance with Arizona regulations. Feels like they shift normal property turnover costs onto tenants. Full Review: If I could give zero stars, I would. Our experience with New Concept Property Management in Tucson was extremely disappointing. The property was not rent-ready at move-in landscaping was incomplete, cleaning was not done to where we found food items and debris in the freezer, and multiple issues were left for us to address. Despite this, they are now attempting to charge us for "restoring" the property to a standard it was never in when we moved in. They refused to remove charges for items that were undocumented, pre-existing, or not our responsibility under the lease, including: Landscaping neglected prior to move-in Light bulb charges with no evidence provided Paint damage that was clearly documented in our move-in photos Reinstalling a TV wall mount not listed in the lease or identified as a fixture Inflated cleaning charges, despite previously valuing a full cleaning at $150 at move-in Refrigerator filter replacement with no prior notice or lease requirement They even implied we might be charged for an AC service call that should have been avoided with basic troubleshooting. On top of that, a large mesquite tree on the property fell into a brick wall and took months to repair, leaving the wall damaged and unsafe. Without any notice to us, they sent a vendor to begin removing the tree completely disregarding tenant notification requirements. Adding to my concerns, both the four-month and mid-lease property inspections may have been carried out by an individual without a valid Arizona real estate, which, if true, raises questions about the legality and professionalism of their inspection process. In my opinion, this company shifts normal property turnover costs onto tenants, ignores their own maintenance obligations, and fails to follow proper legal and procedural standards. Based on my experience and what I've since seen in other negative reviews this appears to be a pattern of improper business practices. Renters, be very cautious. Document everything.

My experience proved renting from Acacia to be a nightmare. I had four outside security cameras…read more stolen, the lock on my storage shed in the carport cut clean and everything in the shed was trashed, I had loiters hanging out 24/7 as the property backed two hotel parking lots, my windows pried open, three vehicles deeply scratched/keyed while in the carport, weird people walking the alleys by my bedroom all hours of the night, yet Acacia had no interest in those issues, nor my safety, merely telling me to file police reports. That was nothing compared to their lack of empathy/accomodation in not allowing me a couple extra weeks after lease end to move even after paying the entire 12 month lease at $1150.00 month. I was in two major car accidents, lost my job and sustained back issues. They had no renters waiting for the property, yet still refused my request to pay for a couple extra weeks for moving purposes. Instead, they filed a Writ of Restitution two days after lease end while I was packing and had a UHaul, forced me pay for that extra month at $1150.00, plus as additional $1150 for "holdover rent" for that same month, plus its attorney's fees and costs after their attorney lied to the judge stating "Acacia would have accepted rent for that month" when I had email exhibits from Acacia stating otherwise. In addition, they kept my entire $1750.00 deposit after I cleaned for days and paid people to touch up paint, and help me move. Acacia nailed the coffin by listing an eviction and judgment on my record making it difficult for me to obtain rental housing. (After all these unjust events occurred, I filed a complaint with the AZ attorney general, who after reviewing my Complaint and related documents, advised me to file a judicial complaint against the company and the judge). Please note, Acacia is NOT in your corner, it merely tries to rack up charges against their tenants in an effort to increase their percentages obtained from the real property owners for managing their property. Bottom line - steer clear!!
