    Called on 10/2, was promised a call back by Kevin the next day since he was the only one who could…read moretalk about the apartment I wanted apparently. Called on 10/4, got Kevin. He wouldn't even talk with me for 1 minute, said he had urgent business, was promised a call back on 10/5. Called 10 more times over the next weeks and left 5+ messages and never got one call back or even got anyone on the phone. If you are thinking of doing business with them don't. They aren't professionals. I think the owners must be getting high all day or something given their lack of basic courtesy or ability to answer their phone. Edit: Kevin finally got back to me on 10/17. To tell me that "We are not interested in working with you. Please stop calling our office." They are not serious people to do business with.

    I have never written a review on yelp before, not even a restaurant or coffee shop. This is…read morewarranted. Please do yourself a favor and read this. Grant and Kevin did not seem to care about my interests as a prospective tenant for a unit in the Pearl District, and the amount of disrespect and total lack of good business sense really should be a warning to all of you. Two things that happened: 1) I was verbally told during my tour of the unit that there would be a hefty move-in fee charged by the building, which would be split between me and the owners. Later, during the lease negotiation, Kevin stated that this was never offered to me as an incentive (hinting that I was lying). I have a good memory, and rather than continue fighting with Kevin on what I knew to be true, I simply asked him if he would reach out to the owners and see if they would offer this incentive. I waited. 2) As a prospective tenant, you should know what rights you have and what expectations are reasonable. You should feel secure in knowing that if and when an appliance breaks during your lease, you have a written commitment from the landlord/owner that they will fix it within a certain amount of time. This absolutely needs to be in your lease. Well, during the lease negotiation, I insisted that Kevin place in the lease an addendum that made this obligation a part of the lease. Despite his promises in e-mails that the landlord is responsible for appliances (if the tenant doesn't break them), those e-mails mean absolutely nothing under Oregon law because the lease itself contains what is called a "merger clause" (meaning any prior writings or discussions are superseded--I am a commercial litigator). I waited. Well, after a day of waiting to hear back on my two simple and genuine requests, I get an email from Kevin stating that the owners had "pulled" the offer to lease me their unit. I honestly could sense this was coming, because these two gentlemen probably rarely, if ever, take the time to consider a tenant's point of view and make any alterations whatsoever to their "standard" procedure for signing leases. They simply do not "negotiate." This is not the right way to treat people. Landlords are not doing tenants a favor by "allowing" them to live in a unit. You are spending tens of thousands of dollars and putting your safety and well-being into the hands of these people. To be treated as if you have no say-so or valid input (and even be accused of lying) is a terrible way to begin a year-long relationship with people who are supposed to have your best interests at heart. Never will I ever deal with Pearl Property Management again. They should be ashamed and re-consider their business tactics. A report with the Better Business Bureau, sadly, may not be enough to inspire a change.

    Terrible management with Bristol Urban properties. Lived in my apartment for over 4 years. Every…read moreyear it got worse. There was a new manager every single year. In the last two managers were totally incompetent and rude.

    I lived in 3 separate Bristol properties over 8 years (Mt Tabor, Adare Manor, and The Vintage)…read more Overall, I'm satisfied. Here's why: Pros: 1) Lease transfer policy. They allow you to transfer to another vacant unit at any of their properties at any point in your lease- without large fees. This allowed me to easily move within the company several times as my circumstances changed over the past 8 years. 2) Building managers. My experience has been that the building managers (who usually live on site) are friendly and responsive to texts or phone calls with concerns. I enjoyed the community feel of having them there and developing relationships with them. All three were lovely people. You won't find that at corporate rental agencies. 3) Charm and location. These buildings are old and unique, and located in desirable parts of town. Cons: 1) Moisture control. I dealt with mold in all three units I lived in. It takes extra effort with cleaning and ventilation to keep manage this (temp monitoring, window fans, etc). But I never felt my health was at risk. And Bristol always repainted or repaired walls when I requested over the years, and were lenient with repair fees each time I moved out. 2) All three units I stayed in were very old and lacked updates. So obviously the cabinets, doors, shelves, etc. were not in perfect condition. I made the best of it. Based on my experience, If you're a good tenant, Bristol will be good to you. There are quirks to living in old buildings, but I found it charming most of the time. And I have wonderful memories from my time there.

Since I recently sold both properties, I am in a good position to assess their level of service throughout the process of onboarding, management and ultimately disposition of the property. LR makes it very easy as an owner. They take care of everything quickly, and are responsive to both my needs and more importantly, those of my renters. I had several managers responsible for my properties over the years, and most were very solid, and they handled the transitions from one to another very smoothly. I would like to especially recognize Ash, who was responsible for monitoring and arranging all maintenance on my properties; she is terrific! She was always very responsive and responsible, and answered my queries or made sure they were handled, even when she was on vacation. Moreover, she personally made sure to get things done quickly and to a high standards, both when required by the renters but also to help me get my second property sold. I will miss working with her in particular, and with LR in general. Very solid organization, and I highly recommend them if you need a property manager in Portland.

We are so unhappy that we intend to report to real estate commission.
