Not many properties available for rent that are managed bt Oishi's. Mostly small apartments in busy town areas. Most of the listings state units come "as is", which means incredibly flawed, outdated, or in need of repair. Rental process is tedious and long, which is a testament to the kind of renters they're targeting. Beware! read more

My move-out date was 10/31/2025. Through early December, I did not receive my security deposit. After I contacted Oishi's Property Management, they said that they mailed it on 11/10/2025, but I never received that mailing. I later received a second mailing on 12/19/2025, which they said was a reissued/resend. In the second mailing, about $700 was deducted from my $1,600 security deposit. The documentation I received did not clearly explain the deductions, and I am currently trying to obtain complete copies of the move-out statement/ledger and supporting documents (invoices/work orders and photos). If you have had a similar issue with delayed security deposit returns or disputes over deductions with this company, please message me through Yelp!!!!!! I'm trying to see whether this is a pattern and, if so, explore possible options for collective action!!! Thank you. read more

On the day my rent was debited, I noticed Oishi had processed three separate utility charges for the same billing period, resulting in a massive $480 overcharge on my account. My immediate attempts to contact them were met with silence. I called, was directed to billing, and left a voicemail that was never returned. Knowing their reputation, I sent an email via their website. The next day, I finally received a response from the Executive Vice President, who acknowledged and apologized for the error, confirming the charges had been corrected. Great--the charge was fixed. This is where my frustration escalated into genuine dissatisfaction with their lack of professionalism and effort to rectify the situation THEY created. I immediately emailed back, requesting a credit/refund of the $480 back to my checking account. I explained that having $480 tied up was a significant issue, as I had other bills due in the coming days. The EVP's response was dismissive: "I apologize this will just stay as a credit on your account so you can short your rent by this month next month" "Just stay as a credit," she said, as if being short $480 for an entire month was no big deal. I promptly emailed back, reiterating the urgency of their error and firmly requesting a proper fix: either an electronic credit or a refund check. When I received no response the next business day, I emailed again with the same request the day after. Finally, I received an e-mail from the same EVP: "We are sending a check" While I don't expect profuse apologies (she already gave one), the silence and curt response demonstrate a profound disregard and disrespect. A professional reply--like, "We received your email and will get right back to you on when to expect your refund check"--is the bare minimum. I previously worked with a leasing company that was professional, attentive, able to be reached, and had a sense of urgency when I had issues with my unit. Unfortunately, as tenants, we have no say in which management company services our unit, and whether or not they treat you like a valued customer is entirely a game of chance. **Update: I emailed back to confirm if they'd be sending the check to the address I provided and the timeframe in which I would receive the check, and EVP Lori Sumida responded with an ever so informative "Yes"** read more

By far the worst property management company I've ever dealt with. They couldn't even open their own lock with their own key and still had the nerve to charge me for it--pathetic and shameless. This scam company and completely unprofessional and untrustworthy. Rent from them if you want to waste your money and sanity. read more

I've never done a review on Yelp before but I was compelled to do one now. I wish before we rented this place, we knew what we were getting into. The viewing was okay and there were a lot of people at the open house, so we weren't even sure if we're going to be selected. Luckily we did, but then it kind of went downhill from there. Within a year, I'd say even within the first 6 months, we already got a rent increase. Fine. The housing market isn't doing well. Lived here almost 3 years now and we got another rent increase! And this is only for the property, all utilities are paid by us. 4 bedroom attached house is now $3270. How can we afford this in this economy? You would think some renters would include water or electricity but no. And I also remember when we went to the office to sign papers, one older Asian guy was so rude to his workers. I don't know if he's the boss but the way he was talking to them in front of customers was so unprofessional. They also sent a letter saying they were checking the property and will come in and inspect our house. We've had 2 inspections within the past 6 months. They never checked on us in the 2 years prior but all of a sudden they have to inspect? Our house was clean and none of us could be home because we all had to work. So the second inspection, they left a voicemail saying we need to be more tidy. Do they want an immaculate house? I think if there is room to walk around and the floors are swept and dishes and tables are clear, a little clutter would be okay and shows that we do live here. No one keeps their home spotlessly clean and we knew what needed to be done beforehand but we're all tired when we get home from work, so a spotless house is impossible but they way they kept repeating the word "tidy" over and over again seemed like they have OCD and our version of cleanliness isn't up to their standards. Anyways, besides the rent increases and not communicating when we ask them to fix a hole in our ceiling and broken jalousies, I can't think of one good thing about this company. I think only one or two agents were nice, but being nice doesn't mean good reviews if your services aren't good. Just a warning to anyone who reads this in the future to please consider working with another company. read more

Oishi's Property Management - Asked them to fix our ceiling. One guy came and put tape. We need a permanent solution not a temporary fix. - Property Management Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I rented a unit through Oishi's for 4 years. I was charged to repaint, when that should have been considered wear and tear. In addition, I was issued a broken fob that still functioned upon move in, returned it in the same condition, and was charged to replace it. There were constant plumbing issues because it was an old building that we had to pay out of pocket. At one point, our oven did not work for over 3 weeks and we were not compensated or reduced rent for that month. They strongly recommend you utilize their cleaner upon move out, who charges an exuberant rate. The units are rented out in subpar condition and expected to be returned pristine. All in all, I would recommend you rent through a different company. Protip: PRESS 0 TO TALK TO A PERSON ON PHONE read more

I attempted to rent with one of the apartments this company manages. A current renter at the property told me there would be major construction at the property. Unless I knew this ahead of time I would not have known that "Spalling" would be done to the property in the near future. This type of construction means there would be exterior scraping on the building or the fascia. This means lots of noise, construction noise and perhaps lots of dust until the project is completed. read more

Have been apartment hunting for the past few months, and the two to three places I have seen from this company - all have been sub par condition. First unit I attempted to look at - attempted to schedule appointment using their VERY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE website. You are supposed to receive a CONFIRMATION e-mail - which is NOT provided. I decided to just SHOW UP toooo the building to view the unit - which was listed for 11AM. I waited in that lobby for almost 45 minutes - NOBODY SHOWED UP. My agent and I just happened to see the main OFFICE right across the street, and proceeded to contact the number listed in the Building Directory. Don't know the name of the individual who answered, but he was EXTREMELY RUDE, EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL, and basically used a tone that said he did NOT give a you know what about trying to take care of myself or my agent. And he actually hung up on us *RED FLAG 1* Agent and I called again - and received a different gentleman younger sounding and he stated he would come right out to us. Eventually the grumpy person got up and came to the door, let us in before the younger sounding gentleman got there - but again Grumpy was EXTREMELY GRUFF - demanding to know who it was we were seeing and WHY, and SOMEONE should already be over there. The younger gentleman came up to us, and said he would take over - so Grumpy took off all too readily. We explained we had seen the advertisement listed, had booked appt, and were waiting in the lobby. Said gentleman confessed to us he had gone to the WRONG BUILDING. In addition he stated that the unit had already been rented out. My agent and I were both shocked cuz the unit was still shown as available ON THE WEBSITE!!!!! *RED FLAG 2* All showings per the website listings are considered "AS IS". So even if YOU see issues, and point that out - they say you have to put in a work order request when signing the lease. *RED FLAG 3* Have seen probably 3-4 different units from this unit now - trying to give the benefit of the doubt. Half the time the person who is stated to "SHOW" the place is NOT who is actually THERE. *RED FLAG 4* Now HERE is where I TRULY have to point out the inadequacy of the showers. MAJORITY OF THE TIME THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE PROPERTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ex: have asked how often does the maintenance people come around to tidy up in the parking lot or common areas - "I don't know", When was the last time structure was tented for termites? "I don't know" Is there a pest company that comes around on a monthly basis? "I don't know" How are packages safely delivered to tenants from say Amazon/or loved ones? Is there a designated pick up area or is it expected for tenants to pick up at post office or something? "I don't know" How are things set up for emergency repairs? Do landlords have emergency contacts for us and we can send the bills for reimbursement for things not associated with tenants causing the damage? (toilet/tub gets sudden over flow from washer) "I don't know" *RED FLAG 5* EXTREMELY PISS POT POOR COMMUNICATION!!! *RED FLAG 6* - Unless YOU have A PARTICULAR EMPLOYEE'S business card - NO ONE RESPONDS TO YOU DIRECTLY!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH OVER THE PHONE. I will trust then it must be impossible to reach these folks through their property request sites and what not, without showing up in person to their door. Now - here is the last *RED FLAG 7* - out of 32 reviews on Google - 25 are ALL ONE STAR RATING; Here on Yelp: out of 137 reviews - 108 are ALL 1 STAR RATINGS..... Think this ought to say something about the company's practice. The MOST alarming is pretty much everyone saying initial deposits are RARELY given back - and there are SEVERAL LEGAL CASES AGAINST THIS COMPANY by a Google Reviewer. CHANGE YOUR PRACTICES OISHI - WORD IS OUT - AND SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE!!!!!!! Nice to know though you have real nice cherry cabinets and take up a whole first floor in a fob secured building - which frost etched glass windows and doors! Must be reaaaaaaal cushy seeing all those high end office ergonomic chairs in your offices. *oh I guess that's RED FLAG 8*!!!!! As they say - BUYER BEWARE!!!! My partner is DEFINITELY against using this management company, and now so am I, and a VERY well connected person who helps assist folks looking FOR rentals! Sorry Oishi - yer 8 Red Flags, and well over 130 ONE STAR ratings - I think the masses have spoken. read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!! Negative -1000000/10. They deserve negative stars. It has taken me a long time to write this review because my experience with Oishi's Property Management was absolutely terrible. I just didn't want to relive this bad experience. However, I wanted to make it aware what new people are signing up for. This company does not care about the renters. -Dane is the worst, the guy in the front is the second worst and Maria comes in at third. As for the company: -Lack of communication to their clients, their team and contractors -No sense of urgency -Hypocrites/Double standards for cleanliness of the place -Unprofessional -You get pretty much nothing back from your safety deposit Run the other way! Save yourself and mental health from this power struggle with them. Honestly, not sure how their company is still going with all these bad reviews posted.. read more

Do NOT rent from this company. Rent is raised annually. Poor management. Repairs requested are not done and if done, you will be charged for it. This is the worst realtor to rent from. They will gouge you for anything. Stay away. They screw up their tenants. There are far better and nicer realtors in the island. They take most of your deposit upon move out and they find loopholes just to charge you of which are absurd just to get $$$ from you. Tenants deserve good management. NOT this company, unless you want to reside in a stressful environment, read more

worst first time renting experience. me and my other half moved in here at just 20 years old 5 years ago. we had no idea we were being played like fools allowing them to drain us of our money. we've had many issues with them throughout our renting experience with them but our move out had to be the worst. first they charged $900 for a general cleaning and another $900 for touchup paint. i cleaned that apartment hands and knees behind every crevice you could think of. my inspector at the move out inspection tells us he won't charge for paint since we were long term renters and the building is old. tell me why i receive a copy with all kinds of additions and edits to the paper i seen last at the inspection. everything he said he wasn't gonna charge me for ended up being a charge. on top of that they took the initiative to TAKE an over payment of our rent and add it into my security deposit. never even told us we have been over paying for the last 9 months and we drop off the checks to their office every month. never gave me a statement saying they were going to use that over payment to the deposit and then when i asked for it back before even seeing the bill of the deposit RAY straight up said no. i think more people should stand up for themselves and to this company because they are CROOKS. draining families of their money and making tenants pay for repairs and damages that should be at the cost of the LANDLORDS. blew holes in my neighbors bathroom walls cus of "electrical issues" then charged them $6000 for it. charged my other neighbor $2000 to redo their flooring because of a toilet leak from rocks and debris of the building corroding into the pipes. crazy crazy crazy. i should've caught the red flags from the rental agreement alone but we were young. And on top of that all their buildings haa rats and roaches read more

There was literally a hole in the wall and ceiling of our shower because of water leaks. Our walls tested positive for asbestos. It took 4 MONTHS to fix and that was AFTER so many back and forth emails and phone calls... vendors for demolishing and construction were scheduled in and out multiple times to see our place and give estimates to the owner. I was told "owner needs to decide whether they want to fix" and here I was thinking it's their responsibility to do so per our contract... also Tanya was so professional and recommended I "find a new place"?? But come to find out the vendors they hired did not want to do business with Oishis anymore and so Oishis hired two guys to fix our apartment shower in two weeks. Love that for us. Great communication 11/10 would recommend if you want a headache. read more

Oishi's Property Management - Property Management Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I know that renting in Hawaii is rough but if you see a rental property managed by Oishi's seek out other options. After being homeowners on the mainland for years, we found ourselves back in Hawaii. We rented an older townhome in Kahala and I was thrilled that the property manager was ipmi(or something likes that). I was so bummed when oishis took it over 2 years after we moved in. There were so many issues, but the main one was that there was a leak in the upstairs shower to the point it would leak downstairs. The wood was rotting and the bathroom felt very dangerous. We called them for YEARS to get them to fix it and they never did. They kept sending over handimen who would say this is a job for a contractor. The floor was rotted out. We lived in those conditions for years! Most of the vendors they sent were cheap and unprofessional. When we moved out, they kept 90% of our deposit. They claimed we didn't have it professionally cleaned (we did and we have the receipts). They charged us to professionally clean the home again even though we did so already. Their customer service sucks every time we've reached out. All they care about is making money and their homeowners. They do not care about the renters at all I'm so glad we got our if there and now live in a beautiful 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home that we own. read more

Worst company ever. Let me start at the beginning. As a tenant they make you watch a video as if you are a child on how to use a disposal. I knew from there I was in for a ride. This company is 100% geared to protect the landlord. But at what cost? Their reputation and the detriment of the tenant, which they treat more like second class citizens. Look at their review score, it doesn't lie. AVOID them -when I had to go through a walk through upon check in...it was so crazy detailed. I knew right then and there, check out was gonna be hell -they make u keep a huge folder with threats that you will pay a huge fee if you lose it -they leave a combat trap box telling you buy one and leave one at check out? what If I dont like that brand, again they dont care -as you stay, there is 100% no way to speak to a live person or leave a msg for support, only a number they have gives you options to just tell them you have a repair need, nothing else?! That is Super poor customer support. But again you are the tenant. hehe -so I was like out of there after a year and as my year approached, I was on vacation and when I returned, I noticed someone went into the unit. I was so scared and was ready to call the cops, until I saw a letter from who else, Oishis. saying they were scheduled to come do an inspection at a time and date not decided by me, but by them and they would come in anyway!? WTF that is invasion of privacy! Who the %^$# does that???? And yeah try to complain? Impossible remember no number hehe. And I bet you its in their 100+ page contract you signed saying they can just walk in look around your place uninvited...oh yeah you are the tenant hehehe. -They use only snail mail. Why dont they call or text or email? Oh yeah run by a bunch of old farts that dont even except other forms of payment beyond a check hehehe -so finally my one year was up and I told them I am outa here. they scheduled their 'inspector' from their company to check of course. They snail mailed me a super detailed check out policy, but by this time you already know whats up. SO I decided I will win and get my whole deposit back. Hoping to be the first one to ever do that....WRONG. I even used their overpriced recommended cleaner, oh yeah $400 for a 500 sqfoot studio after just 12 months?! lol what a joke. Again anything to beat oishis stupid game only to realize after the fact that they dont do the drapes! $400 on a tiny studio and no drapes...oh yeah they required, DRY CLEANING hahaha. WOW thats a first. And its only one set of drapes for the sliding door lanai. How much would that cost? and the inspector found two tiny tiny niks in the wall that needed a touch up for paint. I could have done that in 2 minutes and some paint from home depot for $20. -My total deposit was $1400? Guess how much they gave back??? -Only $700! so they took $700 for drapes and two tiny touch ups! So when I got my deposit, I laughed and knew they would do this. Thats their game. ANd you can never win no matter how hard you try. So in summary will I EVER use an Oishi rented property for my living situation? Hell NO. Will i bad mouth them to everyone I know...yes. As a home owner would I ever do this to my tenants by using such a terrible company to manage my property, never. Bottom line avoid ever renting from them. There are tons of reputable kind caring aloha orientated companies to rent from on Oahu. You have been warned!!! read more

We applied for a house viewing. The site says that someone would contact us within 30 minutes of us applying. No one did. We called the company everyday, to check on the status of our application. They directed us back to the website. When you try to contact them through the website, it takes you back to the phones that no one answers. When the day finally came, to see the potential house for rent, other people showed up as well. We compared stories. We all had the same problem, with no communication from the company. The ad said that the house was 1 1/2 baths and that rent was $1800. When we stepping into the house, it was in fact NOT 1 1/2 baths, but two door entrances to ONE bathroom, and only another sink on the outside of the bathroom. As we were adding our name to the sign-in sheet, the Oishi rep stated that rent was not $1800, but $1950. He also told another person that "We shouldn't even be renting to some of these people. They look good on paper, but once you meet them, they shouldn't even be allowed to rent from us." Every question people asked him was met with a sarcastic answer, "a joke," he said. Apparently being professional wasn't part of the job requirement. After we observed how the Oishi rep interacted with all of us, we left. Seeing all of these reviews, I cannot believe they are still in business. read more

Terrible standard, quick to kick people out without proof of wrongdoing. Don't be fooled into thinking you're saving money, you'll be spending more $ moving out once you understand who you're dealing with. Better to pay more and get a company that isn't at the literal bottom of the barrel. Kiss your security deposit goodbye. Wished I knew to check reviews beforehand. A few bad reviews are normal, when it's the vast majority that's when you know it's a real problem read more

One star cause the guy outside was nice. It's not his fault. It is now 12:44pm...at 1030 am - I went to Aloha Drive for the 11am viewing of unit 202. In my email, is a confirmation of my viewing attendance sent yesterday. with the closing sentence. "we show on time". At 10:50am today I am told, by Hiram - the dude sent to stand out front, the unit has been rented. Nevermind that I left work for an 11am appt. Nevermind I just paid the meter for my 11am appt. I do mind however...you scheduled this for 11 and he who scheduled it, also rented it. If, you as a business can email confirmations, you as a buisness could have mailed out a cancellation cause you made a mistake and have a tenant. You did not show on time...in fact you lied and made nothing but tell Hiram to stand outside and have everyone go home like NO BIG DEAL. Hiram you're good, not on you at all. In my seeking of a new place, I will share my journey along the way. One star and it's Hiram's not yours. read more

Be very careful when renting property or using Oishi's Property Management to handle your property affairs. I moved in to a single family home in 2016. In 2018, the sink in the bathroom broke. Water would leak from the bottom of the sink whenever you turn the faucet on. We reported this immediately, since having a sink is essential to washing your hands, brushing your teeth. They sent repair people out twice, but it was ultimately never fixed by the time we moved out in late-2020. That was 2 years without a bathroom sink. 2 years of brushing our teeth in the kitchen sink. No discount on the rent. In 2019, our hot water heater broke from rust. We reported it immediately and we were told a repair person couldn't come out for a month. That was a month with no warm water. A month of cold showers. No discount on the rent. Through all this we paid our rent on time, had no other complaints, received positive feedback from the homeowner, etc. When we moved out in late-2020, we turned over the rental packet, as instructed. The packet had photos of the property the day we moved in and recorded the wear and tare damages. Today, we were notified that they kept $1,120 of our deposit to cover various damages around the house. Damages that were present when we moved in. We'd been ideal tenants. No noise complaints, no late payments and a good relationship with the homeowner. But, Oishi's Property Management was difficult to communicate with, for the 4 years we lived in one of their properties. No apology for the servicing issues, no acknowledgment that this was unacceptable living conditions and they took $1,120 from us - in the end. Be very wary of dealing with them as a renter or homeowner. read more

This is the worst management ever guys take it from me $335 for cleaning services for dirty lights when I brought new lights every time when it went out. The people don't care but would take all your security deposit as possible so think twice about have them. When I moved in I was ok cleaning but when I left I made the place look even nicer 3 major black stains was there is now gone. So got me thinking when I moved in the place was not shampoo. This management is straight assholes. COVID came and when I need to contact them they are not around they don't even answer your calls. If you really need a place I suggest you look different property management. Actually just read all the other yelps im 100% with them. And now that I'm out of your life screw all you and I hope karma will get all of you. And you guys are retarded. I hope this management will be gone which it will be read more

Now I know why this company has such a Bad reputation. If this is a Hawaii owned company shame on you for ripping your own people off and worse customer service. Never experienced a property management like this. They'll raise your rent with little notice and nothing will be fixed, its so hard to get a hold of somebody and when you do you'll feel like you're talked down to when you need help. Just sad the Landlord hired this company since they've been nothing but good to all the tenants for years and now our happy homes are becoming not so happy since the Oishi's took over. If you see the rental signs Beware! What you'll be getting into read the reviews cause it shows, don't even know why they would want a Yelp account... should be 0 stars read more

Oh what a shame now I see where everyone is coming from with the negative reviews. Everything was fine as always up until they started this big push for everyone to use their new online portal to pay rent (where you're charged a fee every time you pay surprise surprise) Now sending in checks was still fine of course but I told my friend watch, they will probably start "losing checks" to force you to use the online portal and sure enough.... They lost not one but TWO checks (sent separately) that come directly from my bank every single month. My bank tells me when the checks are sent , and also when they get delivered, but of COURSE somehow magically two letters and two checks are just not applied to my account at the beginning of the month. They basically forced me to pay online and eat the extra charges so we won't be evicted 20 days after they lost my checks. Hit me with $100 in late fees and now I had to spend an extra $40 with my bank to put a stop payment on the checks they "lost" so someone does not go and apply those in as well. The letter I got in the mail was the cherry on top too. Threatening to enter my unit by the 22nd etc etc. Wild. I've rented with this company over 4 years and never had a late payment EVER because my checks are automatically sent to them monthly. The way they treat you after years of perfect on time payments and zero issues says it all. If they really wanted me to use the payment portal THAT BADLY they could have just said that instead of bullying me with the "lost mail" and late fees with threatening letters. Could not even be bothered to give me a call to see what's up? I believe all the bad reviews now. Sad cause I only had good things to say about my experience with Oishis before. I won't be recommending them to anyone after this. read more

After renting with more than ten companies, this has been our worst experience. They will charge you for the air you breathe--700 $ dollars for cleaning a desert landscape garden. Stay away from these bandits. read more

Just understand that Oishi exists to profit off you the tenant. They will treat you okay while you're a tenant and will address issues with the unit but it's all about protecting their asset. When you move out, expect to be screwed every way possible. You're basically forced to use their preferred contractor at exorbitant rates (C&C Maintenance in our case). If you don't, you will be charged a cleaning fee, and guess who does the inspection to determine if cleaning is needed. Yep, the same contractor, C&C Maintenance. They won't tell you upon move out (probably to avoid the inevitable confrontation when you realize what they're doing to you), They have their contractor do the cleaning inspection later after you're gone and you'll just see the deduction from your deposit. It's a total scam that can't be legal. Clearly there's some kickbacks going on. We had no cleaning deficiencies noted on the move out form but they later withheld $524 from the deposit for cleaning even though it had already been cleaned. I tracked down the actual invoice from the contractor months later. They spent two months doing renovations on the house after we moved out and after all that mess the actual bill for cleaning was just $330. They also charged me $200 for a "stain" on the carpet when they were so old they just ripped out the carpets from the entire house anyway. They had painted the house just before we moved in and left the extra paint, so we used that to do touch up painting before we moved out. Lori Sumida handled our property and she said "well you should know that you can't use that old paint after a few years" even though that's the paint they left for us to use. She charged us $471 for touch up painting. In total, they took $1,278 from our deposit. I fought them in small claims court and after a year got a good chunk of it back but it's a very arduous process which they know most people won't bother with. Lori Sumida is the Vice President, I presume because she was just better than everyone else at screwing over tenants. That's the ethos of their company and their leadership. Housing is tight in Hawaii and they take advantage of that. This house we called home for 6 years was a real gem. It was the best we could find, so we signed the lease despite all the bad reviews about Oishi. If you have a choice, go with another company. If not, just be forewarned that your rent will go up every year and you'll lose virtually all of your deposit unless you're prepared to go to court. read more

I can't believed receiving a letter from Oishi's after almost 8 months after we moved. The owner of the property we rented for less than 2 years is asking us to pay expenses for plumbing works. We moved out in the beginning of January, the letter is dated Sept 11. We moved out of this place because of the owner continued harassment, neighbors were a bit crazy. We were accused of so many things that we did not do. The inspection was completed, signed off and got most of our deposit back... We left the house clean and in better condition before we moved in. Oishi's please STOP harassing us. We moved on, leaving our dream. I feel sorry for the next tenant... read more

They listed a unit on Craigslist and had you register via email for the showing that was to be held at 11 on Tuesday. We arrived early only to be told that the unit was no longer available. They wasted both my time and money. They could have emailed me that the unit was no longer available instead of having me drive to town. As you can see, most of their reviews are poor. I recommend you look elsewhere. read more

I cant say enough HORRIBLE things about this company. I am kicking myself for not doing my research before renting with them-- or even just asking around because my friends have also had terrible experiences. Beyond that, I should have known from day 1 when the property manager was nearly an hour late to my lease signing. I lived in the apartment for 2 years and throughout that time it was always next to impossible to get a response from anyone in the company- then when i tried to follow up, the person who had helped me no longer works there. This happened on three separate occasions with three different employees about the SAME ISSUE. I ended up having to keep in close contact with my homeowner because he was always nice enough to help me, or at least acknowledge my messages. Terrible situation for both me, the tenant, and their homeowner. On two separate occasions they withheld my utility bills from me for 4-6 months and then sent me a package of bills upwards of $1200 and expected me to pay asap. And now that I have moved out, i did not receive my security deposit for 6 weeks after my move out inspection (which is illegal by the way.) And instead of sending me a refund of my deposit, they actually sent me a bill for $42, insinuating that i did $1750 worth of damage to the apartment. This company is a complete SCAM and i would NEVER recommend anyone to rent from them. Complaints will be filed with the appropriate offices to get them what they deserve. Bottom line is -- know your rights as a tenant if you are renting from them, and if youre not yet renting from them, DONT. read more

I've been on island since 2006 and I've moved 9 times, 11 times if you count the hotel stays the first month on arriving. I've found all my rentals through Craigslist and I found Oishi's on there as well. I was kicked out of a house two years ago bcs the landlord's son was moving back on island and I was renting his room, so I was in a tight bind. I saw Oishi's had a bunch of rentals available and this is what happened during my rental; I went to view the place at a given time with an agent, I liked it and really needed the place, so I filled out the the app, gave the agent all my paperwork (I had read the ad carefully and went prepared with my bank statements, pay stubs and all that jazz - I figured if I didn't like the place I could always use the papers for another unit and if I liked the place, I could speed up the process), gave my money for the credit check - I received a receipt for the payment, and within 2 hours, I got an answer, it was such a relief for me because I wasn't going to be homeless! When I went to sign the lease; there was a DVD made of the rental and it was exactly how it was when I went to see it, I signed a bunch of papers, and was given an inventory sheet and when I moved in I did a full walk through by myself and noted any damages or odd things, then I returned the paper to the office within a week I believe. The awesome thing is that part of the lease agreement is that the unit be cleaned professionally before move-out and a new combat box was needed to be left, so upon me moving in, the apt was clean and roach-free. It seemed silly that that would be on the agreement but I was told by others that a lot of apts are left really nasty at move out. So I was extremely glad that Oishi's have strict rental agreements. When I needed repairs done, I called the office and they have a few places they work with and if it's something that needed immediate attention, I was able to call any company that was able to do it right away. If the company worked with Oishi's before, they just bill them or if I had to pay the bill, Oishi's told me I could then deduct it from the rent. Luckily the company that came out to do service billed Oishi's. The dryer died at one point and Oishi's sent someone over to check it out. The repair guy determined that it would be cheaper to just replace it, so I got a brand new washer and dryer with no charge or anything. So it was a pretty sweet deal. I think the reason why some of them are below market price is bcs of parking, some units don't come with parking and that's a big deal for most ppl. My rental was below market bcs the parking situation was funky (couldn't park during certain hours bcs the parking structure was shared with a business office), you just gotta read the ad carefully, Oishi's is really detailed with their rentals. When I moved out, there was a full walk through with an agent, going over everything I listed during my move in, oh and I had to get it professionally cleaned and that was a pretty penny but the company did everything including scrubbing the walls, bathroom, even cleaning out the lint in the dryer, they also guarantee their work so if Oishi's feels like it wasn't clean enough, the company goes back to clean at no extra charge, so it was a big relief for me that I didn't have to do any of that. My full deposit was returned to me via mail or they can hold it at the office for you and I had to pay for the cleaning myself, as part of the rental agreement, so the pricing was something that I worked out with the cleaning ppl not Oishi's. I remember that when I went to see the place in the beginning, the agent kept asking if I've broken any leases before and how was I as a tenant. I guess it seems like a lot of ppl have issues with Oishi's when they need to break a lease. I've also never had any issues with them losing my checks, I would mail it 2 days before it's due or even drop it off at their drop off box in front of the building door where their office is at. I would have rented with them again but they didn't have any apartments at the time of my move out date. Now I'm stuck with The Realty Co and I'm not going to comment on them until I move out... read more

This place is shady. I did a viewing of the property and noticed some cosmetic damage. I asked if that would be fixed before move in and was told no it's rented as is. I waited on applying because you have to apply in person and I work during the day. I was told I wasn't qualified due to my credit score. They said I could check experian to see my credit. The credit score I have and what they gave me doesn't match. They knocked 30 points off my credit score for some reason. If I had known that in advance I wouldn't have applied. Huge red flag! read more

If there was an option for no stars, I would give Oishi Property Mgmt just that. Warning if you plan to rent and you find out that the property management is Oishi, run away and don't bother, unless you don't mind losing part of your deposit no matter what you do. Their concept of wear and tear is practically nonexistent or their definition and is not what everyone thinks. After 10 years, always paid on time, zero complaints, and kept the place clean and neat, still got the deposit deducted. read more

If possible I would give them 0 stars. Absolutely horrible rental company that is paving the way for what horrible rental companies are. Dehumanizing and only focused on one thing and that is money. Despite the covid situation they did not care one ounce while I struggled to get my situation fixed to get reliable income to pay the rent and the same person constantly harassed me despite me explaining my situation over 30 times. Made no effort to work with tenants. Lastly as many others stated no matter how much you clean it will never be good enough and they will pocket majority of your safety deposit as "cleaning fees" Asking the tenant to strip and wax the f***ing floor. Get out of here. read more

They don't care about you just your credit score. When I had a substandard credit score but had the revenue they wouldn't even give me the time of day. Since having over a 700 credit score I decided to move somewhere else because of my past experiences with this company.. Also there units a expensive but your square footage is small. read more

Do your research! They work for their properties and not the renters. They will exercise their rights if you dishonor agreements immediately (smoking when there is no smoking, no pets but you have a pet). read more

Do not rent with Oishis if you don't want to see your all your security deposit back. This is my second time writing this review because they keep deleting it. Sorry the truth hurts we were moving from Hawaii to Ohio so we really needed the security deposit to buy furniture and we cleaned the apartment so we'll but apparently that doesn't matter they kept more than half of the security deposit. Just greedy people who want money glad we moved out of Hawaii. read more

I like working with Oishi's for my rentals because they are straight to the point. I did not have to waste much time getting the lease signed and into the unit. Not to mention their extremely competitive prices. I was very close to signing a lease for a unit for $2995 a day before I found Oishi's listing of THE SAME unit on a different floor for $2395. A fantastic way for me to save $7200 this year :) Thanks, Oishi's! read more

Nevee use them at all. They make you pay an application fee of like $25 or so and wont approve and you are out $25 for each person.

Biggest scam artists in all of Hawaii. They will steal your money and smile while doing it. You can forget about your deposit before you even get your keys. If there were snakes in Hawaii, you'd find them here. DO NOT rent from Oishi's. Worst company I have dealt with in my adult life as a Doctor. ****Warning, fraud, scam, DO not trust them*** Make sure you get your court date before you rent from these jokers. Makes up false fees and keeps your deposit. read more

Worst place to rent out from! We've been tenants for 8 years sadly and have a lot of ridiculous stories about how this place operates. Terrible customer service and hard to reach people. We needed to know who the property manager of our apartment unit was and this place kept giving us the turnaround not once getting us within reach of the property manager. We were having plumbing issues and one person we spoke told us "We should just move out" if that's the case. Like are you serious?!? Pray to God you don't have any problems with your place because they use the cheapest quality of help but pay big bucks for it which they then put into account for your rent increase the next year and of course the repair people take their sweet old time doing the job. We had our bathroom redone and they told us 3 days tops it took the guys they hired 2 weeks!!! "Well the other guy before me didn't do the tile work like he was supposed to so I can't come in and do my job." What a bullshit excuse. Grown ass man acting like a high school kid just unbelievable. The combined incompetency of Oishi and the people they hire has screwed us over and left us with sleepless nights filled with stress and worry. This organization is a huge scam to keep renters paying loads of money unnecessarily. NIGHTMARE!!! BEWARE!!!! read more

If you want to have your deposit back, never rent from this company. I only got less than 30% money back after thorough clean.

Outstanding Company to have your property listed with! Extremely Ethical Loyal to the Owners of the Properties in there care. Mari is amazingly detailed, articulate and punctual. My move out was scheduled for 11/25 but because of Thanksgiving they allowed an extension move out inspection on the 27th. Now if that's not enough to give Gratitude and Praise to this company, then some people just don't understand Business. A very huge shout out for Camilo with Power Clean 808 3668128 who did an AWESOM job on cleaning my unit with his team of Professionals. For the small sum fee of $500 he cleaned my 2B2B Unit and 2 Parking Stalls. 923sqft Last but not least Arjay who was gracious enough to give me Camilo's number to call for the move out read more

I had them manage my rental property while I was living out of state. They bungled everything. When the 1st tenant left, they had damaged a lot of the interior. They said they would take them to court on my behalf since I was out of state. Months later, while I wait for a verdict, and the place is empty, losing rental income, they tell me that we lost the court case. So I request copies of the trial documentation, and I discover that when they rented it out, the agent failed to take photos of the interior BEFORE the move in, to prove to the judge that the damage caused was beyond 'normal wear and tear' and so the judge ruled for the defendant. Goodbye deposit money, goodbye months of rental income. I had to spend thousands to get the property back in shape to rent out again. So then, I told them I was transferring to another property management company, and then when I got the new rental management company to go over to Oishi's office, to pickup the property keys, so they can take over, they refused to hand it to them. I had to fly back to Hawaii to resolve the situation. I tried to contact Oishi, but they kept saying that Oishi is in Vegas... Must be nice to be able to do things in vegas, that stay in vegas, while your company is mismanaged and costing clients thousands of dollars... I'm still waiting for them to go out of business, but I guess there are many more suckers to be had in real estate paradise... Caveat emptor. read more
