If you're in the market for a unique and historic rental that is close to the downtown or university area, I would check Fenton Investments. We were shown several apartments (Academy Lofts and a larger historic home closer to the university). Very different and definitely not the cookie cutter apartment complexes. So you have to be into something different when checking Fenton properties. Staff member that assisted in the showings was super friendly and answered all our questions. We were concerned at first looking at the other reviews but knew of someone who lived at the Academy Lofts and they never had a complaint.

A view of our loft before we moved in!

This property management company, EMS, has many bad reviews. I am writing this to counter that. As…read moreI read the reviews, I do see the property OWNERS are happier with EMS than property RENTERS. My review is as a RENTER/TENANT. Part of the confusion is that some landlords/property owners hire EMS to only perform PART of the rental process, so EMS gets blamed when it is really the decision or responsibility of the landlord, or some other entity. I have been renting with them almost a year, and I have found EMS staff to be courteous and responsive during my many complaints living in an older property. It seemed like something broke every day! I would submit a repair request via the EMS portal, and I usually received a communication in response on the same day! I would consider them very responsive to my concerns. Delays would occur because the property owners had to approve repairs in excess of a certain amount of money. During an extensive bathroom plumbing repair, the plumbers kept finding new problems and many issues had to be approved before they could continue. It took weeks to complete, but I was kept in the loop, and it was not EMS's fault that the plumbing was old and in terrible shape. It was finally resolved and I am satisfied with the outcome. The apartment is immaculate. It could have been maintained better, but most of the issues are cosmetic. For example, they painted over drawer pulls, hinges, and window fixture hardware instead of masking, and then painting, or removing and replacing hardware, which is how it is supposed to be performed. At this price point, I am happy with the apartment and EMS, the property management company.

The worst experience. How are they still in business? From start to end their Realtors are the most…read moreunprofessional ever.

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

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.

All I had to do was kind of let her loose. 2) She makes it EASY. A couple of my places needed some painting and make ready. She just handled it all! She dogs down any information needed. She even visited the City for info on my behalf. 3) She is a GREAT COMMUNICATOR! THIS is where other realtors failed me. One guy even blamed me (when I fired him) for making his job hard-- but he'd never communicated this to me along the way. Marni tells you what you need to do to reach your goal. But she's not pushy and she'll work with you. 4) She's responsive-- usually within minutes. This works really well for me. When some issue or question is in front of me I'd much rather get it DONE than have to keep checking messages and emails or worse forgetting it altogether. 5) She has a deep network. She knows various vendors with good prices. She also doesn't hesitate to ask colleagues for their perspective. 6) She's fun. I could live without this for sure-- but why not ENJOY the process. We spoke very frankly and had some laughs along the way. All in the service of getting results. Real estate transactions are too important to leave with a lesser partner. Go with the best. Thank you Marni!
