As a prospective renter, my experience was very poor. The man who showed me the apartment I was…read moreinterested in was very nice, but didn't know much about the property or me (he was waiting in a different unit than the one I wanted to see because he got mixed up). That would have been fine. But what really annoyed me was the application process. The management is not familiar with more modern ways to verify employment and income (such as third party service) and insisted on unredacted pay stubs - which is much less secure. The interaction as we went back and forth was rude and reminded me of scammers trying to get one to divulge information urgently (because so many people are interested in the apartment!) at the cost of better judgement. In trying to get more information from me they cited their "policies" but being unable to articulate why their policy insists on having the information I didn't want to share (like my pre-tax deductions) This conversation was not with some mid-level employee but what seemed to be the owner. I should hope he could articulate the reasoning behind his own policy! To me, this company clearly orients themselves to customer service of property owners, not renters. Which fair enough, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. To the reader/renter: Don't let these people bully you!

I am very excited to lease with Rent the District. My roommates and I found a beautiful home on…read moretheir site, and from my very first correspondence with Hanna via phone, the communication has been flawless. Prompt responses to emails, quick answers to phone calls, transparent updates throughout the process, and even reassurances to call you back if they are tied up at the moment (and they actually call back as soon as they can!) Since my roommates and I are all out of town at the moment, and unable to tour the property in person prior to signing the lease agreement, Hanna assured me that her assistant Johnny would send me a video tour the following day. And sure enough, the next day - Johnny had a detailed video tour of the home in my inbox. Any question I had about the property, Johnny was able to answer. We so look forward to working with Hanna and her team during the duration of our lease agreement. If the last week is any indication of how our experiences will be as Rent the District tenants, I very much look forward to staying at this property. Hanna and Johnny were both very friendly, and professional. I will recommend Rent the District to any of my friends who look to rent or have property management services in DC. Thank you again!

When we first started with Scout Properties, things were great. Our first manager, Nick, was…read moreprofessional and easy to reach. But after Victor took over, everything went downhill fast. I'm not sure Victor ever really knew who we were and I can't be sure he ever visited the apartment before things really went to crap. He completely missed a major toilet leak--even after the tenant moved out--which left us with a cumulative $5,773.14 water bill. Then Scout didn't handle the tenant's voucher renewal properly, with no warning to us, which made the tenant move out early and cost us rental income. Even worse, we've now been stuck for several months without a tenant and have had to cover all the turnover costs ourselves. Despite that, Scout still charged their full management fees while barely responding to us. All of a sudden, Scout dropped us as clients (including our neighbors who were clients also), kept the fees, and stopped returning calls. Our next‑door neighbors had the same experience -- and told us their tenant was even offered an apartment at another property managed by Scout. Everything started fine but turned into one expensive, stressful mess. Don't hire Scout Properties unless you want poor communication, big bills, and months of lost rent.

I thought I…read morescored a deal when I recently moved into a unit on Bunker Hill Rd (early June) managed by this team, however, I have had a mixed experience. While some communication has been responsive, the overall condition of the apartment and follow-through on certain issues have been disappointing. Upon move-in, the unit was not thoroughly cleaned. There were hardened food splatters in the microwave, a dirty stovetop, stained cabinets, filthy outlet covers and light switches, and windows that looked like they had never been cleaned. One of the bedroom windows didn't open at all. The living room and bedroom floors were also worn and splintered--rough enough to tear pieces off my mop while I was cleaning. I submitted an inspection report with photos and received a response from the property manager acknowledging the concerns. A bathroom wall hole was patched (though the repair was done without any coordination or notice), and I was told the chipped toilet tank issue was being reviewed with the landlord. As of now, I haven't received a follow-up. I was also told the technician would be reminded to be more mindful of cleanliness, as the workspace left behind wasn't ideal. The most concerning issue, however, was finding a roach inside the microwave--before I had even used it. That was the final factor that led me to submit an early lease termination notice 22 days after receiving the keys. I'm giving 3 stars because rent payment through the portal was convenient, and Victor did respond to some of my concerns (however, it felt like he never responds to an email in its entirety). But the move-in experience, unresolved maintenance issues, and poor communication has bothered me entirely. I hope more attention is given to preparing units for future tenants and being more efficient in communication.

I've been using Edward as a property manager since July 2020 (i've used 4 different firms over the…read morepast 15 years). I found him after interviewing about 9 firms, and then went with him after speaking with 5 of his references that he provided. He was very transparent when I first connected him and he would quickly answer questions about his management style, company and staffing profile. Perhaps the worst part about Edward is that its hard to find anything negative about him (LOL). He's just the most even keeled person I've ever dealt with... He deals with everything in a calm, paced manner. He's definitely not pushy, and treats everyone with respect, and has the gray matter to anticipate and work through problems before embers turn into flames (and we've had many embers thrown at us over the years, so he's battle tested at this stage in my eyes). One example: a few years back, the unit he was managing for us had a heating issue. The parts were on back order (early pandemic related shortage), and without asking, he went through multiple hoops to try to procure the parts needed, and then checked the weather report and because of an upcoming temperature drop he went ahead and provided backup heating device to the tenant to head-off a potential heating emergency before it happens. Lets roll the clock forward: While your mileage may vary, for me, I have had several documented occasions when I sent him an email near midnight and he responds within 3 or 4 minutes afterwards. I think one time I sent him an email way later than that which was meant for the next day, and he immediately responded. IIRC, I scolded him slightly for not prioritizing sleep over a low priority email from me LOL... but that's just how he's wired. His demeanor also extends to how he hires his staff. Again, the people he's brought on seem very even keeled and are active listeners. Also, it appears he's scaling his company in a methodical fashion. When I first spoke to him 5 years ago, I think he had about 200 properties they were managing. I know he's grown beyond this, but I haven't felt any difference in the orchestration of the work. This was a huge problem for me with a previous firm where as they grew, the wheels came off. Also, with his being a registered agent in Maryland, I'm already set on using him if we hit the market for anything. He's also served as an honest sounding board a few times we considered moving on something.

I almost never leave yelp reviews, but I want to share my experience with Atlas Lane as neither a…read moreproperty owner nor a tenant, but as neighbor that interacted with one of their property managers (Matt). I live in a condo in Adams Morgan adjacent to a recently-built building (The Olso), which Atlas Lane managed at the time (two years ago). Right after the building was completed I noticed that the outdoor floodlights were on all night, and they were shining into my bedroom and keeping me up at night (even with my curtains drawn). I did a little research and found that it was managed by Atlas Lane, and thus I emailed them at 9pm about the issue I was having. I wasn't expecting any response at all but I figured it couldn't hurt to try. To my surprise, an hour later I got an email back from Matt apologizing for the light pollution and saying that he would take care it. After that night, the flood lights were never on overnight again for over two years. Fast forward to last week, when the flood lights were again on 24-hrs a day. I again emailed Matt at Atlas Lane to let him know. He told me that Atlas Lane was no longer managing that building, but that he knew the company that was managing it now and would email them on my behalf. He even checked in with me again a few days later to see if the issue was resolved (of course, it was not), and then emailed the other property managers once again to remind them. In my opinion, this is outstanding customer service, and I'm not even a customer! I am so impressed that I am actually now considering using them to manage my own condo once I finally move out, even though I've never before even considered using a property management company because I always had such *terrible* experiences with them as a tenant.

The tour was not with an Atlas Lane employee so she couldn't answer any questions with certainty.

Claudio called us three weeks after submitting saying our application was approved. I provided additional information (no current pets, etc) and he said he would confirm with the owner then send the lease. He confirmed there would be 1 free month of rent. Then he ghosted us again. It seems online that the apartment is still available, so this company not only treats renters badly, but it seems they're costing landlords $ as well.
