We applied for a rental unit at one of the properties Perch Properties is managing and it was an experience! First off, I must say, they are very nice people. Prior to my tour, I was in contact with Teja who was very helpful. When it came to the day of the tour, I guess there was a mix up in agents, but Janaka ended up showing up to the building, to give me a tour of the place. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable! :) During the application process, the application is very old school. It took us a few days to get everything together. We had to print and scan a bunch of documents then submit it via email. From what I know of family who work in the industry, most applications are done online and you can submit information as well as link bank accounts electronically lol. I wasn't comfortable submitting all of our personal information via email, so I asked for them to call me for additional information that I'd be able to provide over the phone. Although the application process was odd, the service was pretty great. The only reason I deducted a star was because like other reviews have said, they don't get back to you after your application. I had to keep reaching out to them to get answers. I also didn't like that they assume instead of verify. My husband and I rent an ADU in Commerce, but they said "currently listed address in application doesn't seem to be a rental". My husband has been here a few years and I just moved in last year. His driver's license and some bills reflect our current address, but we were never asked for additional information to verify. We also make well over the standard 2.5-3x income. I am pretty chill so I'm okay with not being selected for the unit as it is privately owned, but I didn't appreciate having to wait and keep asking for updates on why we weren't selected lol. Anyways, great people! It's just the communication that could be better and more clear. I would still recommend Perch Properties based on my interactions, because they still respond if you reach out to them :) read more

Excellent customer relations and professional closing procedures. Very pleased with the entire experience from start to finsih.

Janaka and team did an outstanding job managing my rental house for me. The tenants always appreciated their responsiveness to maintenance matters. They were great to strategize with on management matters and were always prompt in their response when I had a question. Very knowledgeable and professional - highly recommend. read more

We had a property listed for over six months with zero action. We switched to Perch Properties and in no time our property was leased. Great communication, very thorough and detailed oriented. Polite. Professional. Highly recommend. read more

Staff are very unprofessional and scream at tenants who ask questions. Definitely avoid renting one of their properties!

False advertisement on pricing, took 2 hours to get on the phone (called 3 separate days and it was the same thing), representative that I finally got to speak to wasn't helpful and rude read more

I'm a former tenant and they are completely unprofessional and will rip you off of your security deposit. They will not send you the correct itemized list when moving out and then charge you $2000 for normal wear and tear. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS unless you want to get screwed. read more

Absolutely the worst property management company. They do not keep up to date on city ordinances impacting the leases they have. They are also unethical and do their best to keep tenants in the dark about even basic operations. They tried to scam us out of what we were due having been illegally evicted. Do not trust your property or your housing security to these awful people. My reply to below comment: Everything you need to know about Perch Properties is indicated in their assassination of my character and personal attack below. Do not work with them. read more

I have two buildings that Perch Properties has managed for over two years, and I am happy with how competent and knowledgeable they are about leasing and maintaining my properties. Whenever I call or need help, someone is always available. Customer Support is over the top. I highly recommend Perch Properties as a management company. You will not be disappointed. read more

This company should be put out of business immediately. I am a tenant in an apartment building. My landlord hired this company to manage the property. Their point person, Melissa, introduced herself IN A GROUP TEXT TO ALL OF THE TENANTS. That's how I found out A) They were now managing the property. But more importantly B) In the process she shared my private cell phone number with everyone else who lives on the property. I'm a good neighbor. I know ONE of my neighbors well, but not everyone who lives here. I don't want them all to have my cell phone number. And Perch also wants my email address. Clearly they can't be trusted with personal information. I'm reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and NOT giving them any further information. They cannot be trusted. Avoid at all costs. Also, why is their business address on the Warner Bros. Studio lot? BEWARE! These jokers are a scam! read more

Perch Properties - I don't know who Michelle is - that's not even my landlord's name. It's Erica. How dare she share everyone's information in a group text? - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Burbank, California

See all

I was a tenant in a property managed by Perch Properties for eight years, and they were the best management company I've ever worked with. They were responsive, responsible, and reasonable--all in all, a delight! read more

Do not waste your time and your money . Terrible customer service. . When they collected the fees take forever to get respond from them .

Worst company I ever dealt with , they don't get back to you on an application quick to get my money on the background and never get back to you. Don't recommend these guy ! read more

Horrible experience. They deal with more than one family at a time & discriminated against someone who is disabled. They collect credit check fees from everyone and if i would have known that i would have never been apart of this. They should work with one family at a time. i had to keep asking for updates. it took 7 days for them to do a credit check. read more

Janaka did a fantastic job at managing our single-family home in Burbank. Prior to renting to tenants, he gave us a list of items to fix and provided affordable quotes for those items. He then advertised our home and quickly found reliable tenants within a month. His team is amazing too. We get monthly statements showing rental income and expenses. When we get service requests, they are accompanied by quotes for repair costs. Renting to tenants is a breeze with Janaka! We were so pleased with his services as a property manager that we asked for his help with selling our house and got a fair price. If we did not need to sell, we would have continued having him manage our property. We are so fortunate to find Janaka with his glowing Yelp reviews. He provides excellent full-service property management at an affordable price. I rarely post reviews but I know finding high quality property management company is difficult. Hopefully, my review will help someone. read more

I want his many people to know about perch properties. Janaka help me in so many ways. Before my ADU was even built, Janaka came out several times, and gave me ideas on what tenants like, and dislike. Then Janaka listed my ADU for lease and had Nirash and Jay show my property and were very professional. They communicated with me and they found a potential tenant right away, if you're looking to sell or lease a property or have the manager property go no further call Perch Properties. Happy landlord here! read more

Excellent company that provides great communication and service. I wish every property company was as caring as perch.

I was the property owner but had no experience with rental management, we decided to go with Perch Properties. I can safely recommend anyone that is looking for a rental management, Perch Properties. They were great with correspondences, they understand the business in entirety, they knew how to handle tenants and checked on them on a regular basis, that gave me peace of mind as a home owner. read more

Janaka and his entire team have been nothing short of outstanding. We spoke with several property management companies before choosing Perch - None matched their responsiveness and professionalism. We live out-of-state so having a team who can manage our property with the same care as we would is crucial. They've done that and more. read more

The team has been very good at communicating from start to finish. During COVID, everything was done via electronic signature, and even the monthly payments are done electronically which is so easy. I wish all property management companies are like this! read more

Took our application and fee ($$). And never got back to us on the status of the application or the property. I made contact once and was told that they are still reviewing, that was a month after submitting. Then tried to call again with no answer or return from my voicemail. We've moved on. read more

Beware! We are still trying to get the rents collected by this company. We are now forced to sue to get our money.

We had the pleasure of leasing a house through them. After a few months of frustrations we got in touch with them and -right before the pandemic- we were shown a perfect house and then worked through the paperwork without a glitch. Everything was done electronically. After moving in we detected a few issues that were promptly fixed even in the midst of the lockdown (late March/early April). The maintenance crew arrived with masks, kept in constant communication, and fixed the problem in less than 24 hours. Same thing happened a few weeks ago, same prompt resolution. We want to especially mention Mihiri; she's been wonderful to work with, always on top of our needs and requests, always helpful and cheerful. 100% recommendable. read more

Perch Properties is so wonderful in handling my unit in Glendale. I would highly recommend this property management if you are planning to rent your property. They are extremely reliable especially Janaka who handles tenants so well you will never have a problem renting it. The staff are very professional, courteous and very helpful at all times. They are very competitive in the property management business. Cristina R. read more

they got me into the home of my dreams! thank you Perch Property Mgmt. this was everything you could want and more from a moving process.

Here goes , As I relocated to Los Angeles I found Janaka Perera and perch properties to be the perfect real estate agent for my specific and desired acquisition . I have lots of personal experience with agents as a long time investor in the single family market in Texas ,and therefore have a good idea of what I require from someone I am working with right away . I found Janaka's very personalized step by step "handholding" approach worked very well for me in the somewhat overwhelming Los Angeles market place . janaka spent hours to help and guide me thru various options and locations . He also assisted successfully maneuvering some budget constraints that I put forth in my initial conversation at his office . I would say Janaka introduced a specific strategy's that would turn out to be very beneficial for me ,tailored for ease ,speed and timing . I like to point out that He did not lead me straight to the higher cost house but rather had the patience to work around my budget and find the proper option that fit me perfectly . I have many friends in SoCal And by social media I've recommended Janaka and his brokerage team to everyone I know as I find him to be a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. Finally ,While realizing it won't always be "this "easy to get the house that you want selected and the deal closed , the team you surround your self with is really crucial ! . I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor or real estate agent then Janaka . I would speculate that having the complete brokerage experience like his team possesses may be part of the success formula here . He is not some part time guy out there attempting to sell (or assisting to buy) a house :) Alright then .... Sincerely , Mikael Sundin read more

Really appreciate all the help I got from Perch Properties in renting out my condo. Especially in this difficult time. They were professional, courteous, told me what to expect, followed through with what they told me, and got great results. Janaka was a pleasure to work with and Mihiri while showing my place would always communicate with me to let me know what was going on. I highly recommend them. read more

What a wonderful experience with Mihiri. Not only was she extremely helpful, you could tell that it mattered to her that we get the place we fell in love with. Absolutely recommending her and Perch Properties for your next rental! Thank you again! read more

This man is not trustworthy, he is the landlord from an apartment complex in East Los Angeles and he just goes around keeping peoples security deposit, he doesn't return their money, he did it to me and has done it to everyone else no one ever gets their money back. He is a scam please be careful when trusting him read more

Janaka manages our properties to our fullest content. From day-to-day tenant complaints to the entire process when our tenants move out. He handles everything so we had no worries. We don't have hesitations to recommend Janaka to anyone who needs a property manager. read more

Perch Properties was very helpful and caring, couldn't recommend them more! They were very attentive and answered all my questions.

Janeka Pererra, the owner of Perch Properties can do it all. He has been a property manager for me and has helped me find an investment property to purchase and has been helpful at all steps and phases of buying an investment property and being a property manager. I have always been able to have Janeka in my corner and he keeps me grounded and is always helpful to consider doing things I did not think of doing. read more

Perch Properties has made the renting experience an incredibly seemless and easy process. Janaka is wonderful to work with and my experience has been excellent! Highly recommend. read more

This was a horribly unpleasant experience with Perch, if you want to wait weeks and weeks to not hear back from your realtor use them. I had to call them every time I'd want to bear a status update, and most of the time they wouldnt answer or even get back to my voice messages. Their business is terribly disorganized. read more

I have been working with Perch Properties for the past 3 years. They are extremely professional in services that they provide. I recently my house on sale and within 1 showing, I got 3 offers at an amazing price!!! I am still in disbelief. Keep up the good work Perch Properties. Thank you!! read more

Janaka helped us a lot in purchasing our house. He spent a lot of time for us. He is honest and very knowledgeable in his field, he gave us very good advice and he was very patience through out the whole process. He was always on time. For sure We will work with him again if we want to purchase or sell a house. We really appreciate Janaka and his teammates for their help. read more

Every realtor will list a property, Janaka Perera of Perch Properties is the rare human being who will make an unusual property in Shadow Hills sell quickly and smoothly with full trust. We called him over 2 years ago when our 90 year old mother was ill, living at home and we were trying to understand what our options were for the home she had lived in for 50+ years. We found nursing help and she stayed at home, got better and Janaka helped us with electricians, gardeners and all types of advice to enable us to manage her home maintenance from a distance. Blown away by his expertise and generosity, we stayed in close contact and when the time ultimately came to sell the house, he calmly walked thru options and described in detail why people like homes within the 91040 zip code, and who our likely buyer would be. And voila, quickly the house sold for more than we expected - smoothly to people who love that property. Over those 2 years he solved lots of small problems, things that are a nightmare to try to do on your own from a thousand miles away. This was the home we had all grown up in, we knew the neighborhood, but even then - how do you manage a house sale from a distance? Janaka proved himself over and over how many contacts he has, how deep his knowledge of the area, and how to make a deal happen, so everyone is satisfied and very, very happy. read more

If you're looking for a professional and attentive realtor, Ask for Janaka Perera. He went above and beyond to accommodate us. I highly recommend him and Perch Properties. *****5 Stars!!!! read more

I found Janaka at Perch Properties as a professional and well-experienced person who catered to my needs of renting a property in Moorpark in a timely and efficient manner. During the course, he advised me on what needs to be done at the property to get the right tenant for the appropriate rent. It was a pleasant experience to work with him. read more

Janaka is an amazing person and very professional we are very happy working with him he got our house rented in a week, we highly recommend him for anyone . read more
