I just received a cancellation for maintenance I requested back in December 2025. it's a repeated request from the beginning of 2025. TODAY IS FEBRUARY 19, 2026. APPARENT TOTAL NEGLECT. ANY FUTURE TENANTS BEWARE! THE ONLY CONSISTENT BEHAVIOR WITH THIS ORGANIZATION IS AN ANNUAL INCREASE OF YOUR RENT MAXED AT 10%. ANY REQUEST FOR EVEN MINOR REPAIRS ARE IGNORED AND THEY TRULY RUN A SLUMLORD BUSINESS. Mike Dunfee Group is only helping to create wealth for the property owner but doesn't take care of the tenants in any properties. Just read all the negative reviews. They are all from tenants going back to 2018. Please look at my most recent photo of the cancellation of my service request. I love living here but my rent has gone up $660/month since MDG took over when my landlord moved out of state. This extreme rent increases are what's hurting tenants like me in California. It not ever going to stop. The division of low income and high earners are quite evident. BUT IM STILL HERE PAYING MY RENT ON TIME. NEVER BEEN LATE. IM THE IDEAL TENANT. I MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY WHILE IM HERE AND that doesn't even matter. MIKE IF YOU'RE READING THIS, The Maintenance Company YOU USE IS NOT following basic protocols. They never contact you within the time you place some maintenance request. It's pointless to schedule three different times of availability. They have never, I repeat never have responded in a timely manner. If you fired them and hired a new group of professional maintenance people I might have some positive things to say about your company. Those maintenance people only come when it's convenient to them. They don't come on a schedule time. They change the scheduled time at their convenience. Basically, most of the time it's total neglect. 2 out of 4 tenants just moved out of my building because they both had gotten tired of the neglect. If your maintenance service was as consistent as you raising the rent every year, maybe I wouldn't have a whole lot to complain about. But this is going on for almost 5 years!

When I first moved in, everything seemed great. The leasing agent was friendly and helpful, and I even left a glowing review at their request. The moment I signed the lease and posted that review, things started going downhill. The unit was not professionally cleaned at move-in and my complaints about this were ignored. The ceiling fan was installed so poorly it nearly fell, and the so-called "brand new" dishwasher was already rusted and full of mold. Both fall under the landlord's obligation to maintain provided appliances, yet nothing was done. Noise complaints were ignored for months until management realized I had recordings. The lease guarantees the right to quiet enjoyment, but they acted otherwise. Their service is so poor that they even failed to give proper notice before sending service workers to my second-floor window early in the morning. Later, when management's work forced me to vacate for a week, I returned to a wrecked apartment: ruined rugs, dirty floors, urine splatter throughout the bathroom, and even unflushed urine left behind. It's as if they hired frat boys to do the job. About six months in, I discovered that I was responsible for a utility they claimed was included in the rent. The way that was handled was shady at best. I would never recommend signing a lease with these guys, but if you absolutely must, make sure to double check everything and only communicate in writing. The laundry facilities are explicitly included in the lease, but the only washer in the building has now been broken for over a month. I submitted a repair request on 7/16 that was marked "dispatched to tech." On 8/5 I submitted a follow-up request for status, which was ignored. Finally, on 8/26, the request was cancelled altogether. The last time the washer broke, it sat unusable for more than six months. This is a clear breach of contract. And in the middle of all this, management had the audacity to raise rent by $150 while ignoring basic lease obligations. I have never seen this level of incompetence, unprofessionalism, and repeated violation of lease terms.

Paying via card.

My unit was managed by Pacific Coast, then management was changed to Mike Dunfee (MD Property Management). I am very disappointed with this company. To begin with the company does not answer their phones. My contact person is Sondra Hollis and her voice mail says, "Please leave a message" but then you get the following message, "This mailbox is FULL and can no longer receive any messages". The only way to get a hold of Ms. Hollis is via email. Secondly, to pay HOA dues you have to pay $2.49 to use a card. If you choose to use e-check, you need to pay %2.99 of the HOA dues. I asked about ACH withdraws, their response was for me to go to my bank and have them do a BANKPAY. Okay, I look up their company name on my bank's website so I can initiate the process and it does NOT show up. I asked may I send several checks, dated with each month and you cash them as the months go by? No, their response was to send a check written up for a total of 6 months and we will hold the credit here and withdraw from that account. This company's method of doing business is very archaic, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this company. I don't believe I should pay more on top of my HOA dues. I emailed Ms. Hollis regarding BANKPAY, I have yet to hear back. Thank you.

Im sorry to say that this property management is taking advantage of anyone who rents in their…read moremanagement, portal use to make payment will charge you, even you have a rental insurance. Very slow when you complain or maintenance repair, vendors are not willing to cooperate with your time or convenience, i have to monitor every single request due to will noted completed, rent is too high for one bedroom, busy street N Lakewood Blvd. No issue before from previous property management, tenants are responsible to pay service for trash, check your utility bills..place is not well isolated. You could hear everything inside your unit, specially the speeding cars. Very HOT during summer time you need 2 AC to feel comfortable, one in the bedroom and one in living room, Not enough HOT water pressure at the laundry room, will ruined your clothes. Called SCE stated its pipe is pour, Been renting for a year and it's been a nightmare,. They will charge you arm and leg when you moved out, you will end up nothing to get to refund your deposit, they will charged you minor scratches on baseboard..discoloration of paint..Never late on rent. Awful!!!! Taking advantage of a good tenants.

DO NOT RENT FROM !!!!! Real Property Management was a frustrating experience from move in to move…read moreout. When we moved in, the house was visibly dirty and not move in ready. There were dirty walls, holes in the walls, hair in the bathtub, and even food left in the fridge. One closet smelled strongly like cat urine. I reported all of this right away and was basically told to just leave it in the same condition when we moved out. They did nothing to fix the issues. Fast forward to move out, and now the owner is trying to charge us $1,350 for cleaning and painting, even though the place was not clean or freshly painted when we moved in and the wall issues were already there. What's worse is Real Property Management has not been helpful in resolving it and won't provide the owner's contact information, saying they're selling the house. That doesn't help tenants trying to dispute charges fairly. They also charge a $41 monthly fee for air filters that they only send you after you file a maintenance claim for. The only bright spot is Kelly on the phone, who has been kind and pleasant. Unfortunately, everyone else I dealt with was not helpful and made everything feel like a hassle. Maintenance was also a headache. Our built in microwave didn't work when we moved in and they initially refused to fix it. I said I wasn't going to be responsible for it and would choose the cheapest replacement myself, and suddenly they were able to send someone out quickly. That kind of back and forth is not professional. To top it off, the owner was supposed to remove a bed before we moved in and never did. We ended up having to disassemble and remove it ourselves. This was a hassle during moving day. We lived there over two years and it was constant problems. I would NEVER rent through them again.
