Even though I didn't get to rent one of the properties I was able to meet them and they are actually pretty nice people. They have changed their protocol making it easier to obtain a pretty nice little rental spot for a reasonable amount of money. Great value for sure. read more

Have no worries applying to the company. you wont get screwed or mistreated. read more

Disgusting . Appalled . Unsanitary. Unsafe . Uncomfortable . Unprofessional . Low quality and value We rented out an apartment on 11456 Killion street man I have to say the neighborhood is nice and the neighbors were great but dam they have an infestation of roaches in there apartments. We requested pest control to come out and they hired a maintenance guy to come fumigate my apartment but he didn't even advise us that he was coming into our home and on top of it our water was coming out brown from rust and roaches were coming from everywhere and we kept complaining and they down played it and it was horrible experience. I guess if you're struggling to get anything that property management company is for you but beware they are dirt bags they don't help you out at all . Any reviews left here that's are good are themselves or them paying people to leave some good news I know multiple that live in there properties and they only stay cuz they approve you no matter what as long as you can pay the rent which isn't a good way to rent to people . They properties are in the ghetto and they don't even have no one helping you out with the renting process everything is text with them which is super inappropriate read more

NASTY. VILE. DISGUSTING. DO NOT LIVE HERE. (7444 Woodman Ave) I have had the unfortunate experience of having to live here the past five years and just let me say: There's nothing good here; The property management spends more time micromanaging their tenants and making their experience living here worse with stupid rules like "No plants outside. No patio furniture", the rent is expensive, EVERYTHING is broke down, cheap and old. The building itself self is disgustingly dirty, old and broken down. Peoples cars constantly getting broken into. Huge homeless problem they absolutely refuse to deal with which bring a lot of extra trash and theft. TLDR; live anywhere else. They will bleed you dry for your money with absolutely no perks/amenities or anything to enjoy on the property itself. They will micromanage you and make your time here miserable, and this place is broken down with roach/rat/bee/mold infestations in every other apartment just pick your poison I guess. read more

SCAMMERS!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Now I'm going to say how I truly feel about this management company. I am fully convinced they are in on the Craigslist scam that continues to dupe hardworking people looking for an affordable place to stay and yet they continue the same practices and act like they're a victim too. I fell victim to the scam at my lowest point in life and it makes me so sad to see that others are still falling for it to this day facilitated by Sauer Properties. Think about it, if they weren't in on it or even remotely cared about how many people have been scammed, wouldn't they change their practices? Shame on you Sauer properties! read more

I have lived at 14540 Hartland St. for over 3 years, and it is getting worse. Maintenance is minimal, the area around the building is always full of dog poop, and homeless people live in the laundry room, which is why it is dangerous after 8 p.m. When I came to live here , there were gates around the building (they removed the gate), and it had a pool (they removed the pool). The room where they have the washing machines is disgusting to enter. Behind the washing machines, there are clothes and dirt that the tenants have left for years, and the homeless people come in at night to charge their cell phones, and practically, two homeless people live there. Two time at the parking were homeless sleep too, they read more

Roaches and no security in the buildings. The only thing I can say is they didn't raise rent at all while we lived there for 5 years, and honestly the property wasn't worth a penny more than what we were paying read more

do not trust these scammers! they allow fake listings of properties to be posted via craigslist, social media, etc. one of their properties has scammed and stolen thousands of dollars from low income hard working people: they are fully aware that their vacant rental units on 7130 fulton avenue north hollywood's ca are being used by a scammer to steal from people.(that they supposably dont know) they have not taken any actions to prevent this from happening, because they have no surveillance cameras and continue leaving the vacant units unlocked so the scammer can continue showing the units to "prospective tenants" oh and when you contact their office u get text messages as a response that seem to he automated messages.. see for yourself look at my pics. report this business to the better business bureau, share this, and spread the word. this looks like an inside job. the funny thing is that the scammer sounds like the employee that works there... the audacity of the sauer properties employee is insane... he sends me rental units for rent and says they have a lot of units and have to leave them unlocked. million dollar company making excuses see the screenshots read more

I lived at 7110 coldwater for a couple of years and this particular spot isn't terrible I heed a warning to future tenants: a married couple that lives in one of the units next to this one and domestic disputes at late hours is commonplace. The tenant was arrested at 6am for screaming and harassing the neighbors yelling racial slurs including destruction of property as she had thrown her tv out the window. It motivated me to get out and good luck to the next tenant. read more

Bottom Line: Sauer properties provides affordable apartment homes in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley. Some areas have their problems, but generally is an okay place to lay your head short-term for single people or families financially regrouping. Here are the Pros and Cons of renting from Sauer: Pro: 1) Despite being extremely understaffed and overworked, management is extremely responsive. Sauer has a multitude of freelance handy/repairman at their disposal to handle any maintenance issue. Usually minor repairs can be fixed on a dime -- within 24 hours notice. 2) Price. Most apartment homes are rent controlled and below market value -- especially during COVID-19 breakout 2020. 3) Some apartments include utilities while others do not. Just a word of precaution: Those that have utilities included are generally not as nice as other properties. 4) Sauer works closely with police and private security to target problematic areas surrounding their properties. And although it always hadn't been that way -- especially when I moved in 7416 Woodman in 2016 -- they have dramatically stepped up their game throughout the years. For instance, Sauer permanently 86'd a habitual nuisance and drug user named Chris and all his dope fiends he invited over on the property for daily re-up pow-wows. 5) Security deposits are generally refunded in full in 21 days. Just make sure you get the correct amount. Con: 1) Although management is extremely responsive, you can only contact them via text/email. Can be viewed as a positive though to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation. If you have the itch to call them, I believe it's strictly a leave-a-message only. 2) Be careful which property tickles your fancy. Some of their properties are better than others. I had the luxury to live at 7416 Woodman in Van Nuys, and throughout the years -- with only a minor hiccup earlier this year -- the property has vastly improved. Sauer made drastic efforts to kick-out problematic tenants and reduce pests/nuisance encounters at certain areas. 3) Security needs to be revamped in many places. Sauer can easily install a camera or two in certain places to detour problematic places. For instance, my car was broken into earlier this year by some remorseless recalcitrant. Would have been helpful to have footage of the incident. 4) I had to ask for deposit interest to be applied. Even if it is only a couple dollars, make sure you get that applied to the principle when you move out. read more

Again and on a continuous basis I am being harrassed by my neighbors at 7535 Whitsett Ave #9 and 7545 Whitsett Ave #15. They continue to enter my apt because they made copies of keys to it, they call me "faggot" "pedophile" etc. They actually have ppl follow me to the bus stop to try to intimidate me etc. I've noticed these ppl standing outside my window watching me at night and I have proof of these ppl entering my apt and the mgnt will not do anything about it. Do not rent from this company and with all the other reviews on here, they care a damn thing about their tenants read more

I'm used to landlords that put their best foot forward before moving in and then bring out their shady side after you move in. This is the first time I've encountered a management company that was shady from the jump. I just visited the unit available for rent at 7655 Lankershim Blvd (unit #30). Before visiting, I had texted with someone from Sauer Properties. The first question I asked was whether roaches had previously been an issue at this property. They denied any previous issues. The first thing I saw was a dead roach on the stove. Several more near the fridge. Clearly, roaches are currently an issue. And clearly, the management staff must be lazy or really don't care because they couldn't be bothered to clean up the dead roaches. No doubt that's emblematic of the type of management I could have expected had I applied for the place. And to anyone still considering that unit, the roaches WILL be back. They have likely set up shop in the stove/fridge (they love electrical equipment) and have prob moved in to other units as there isn't a consistent food source. As soon as a new tenant moves in, they will be back. I've dealt with roaches at previous places and if the property management is not making a concerted effort to deal with them, they will be back. Hell, roaches love to feast on dead roaches- Sauer Properties literally left a food source for roaches to welcome me while checking out the place. If you wanna battle roaches the next year, by all means. Anyone who is a current tenant and is dealing with roach issues, I urge you to file a complaint with LA County Dept of Public Health and to reach out to local tenant rights organizations. I've dealt with roaches and I know how stressful and just horrible it can get. You deserve a home that is safe, comfortable, and not a health hazard. read more

Sauer Properties - Night shot - Property Management Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Sauer Properties is a dangerous place to live. If you take the time to read through the reviews, you'll find that. I currently live here and I can tell you, the stories are true. Multiple sex offenders live here. The entry doors are never locked. People OD in our laundry room. Bugs. They apparently have a security guard but every time I've contacted him he's "not working tonight." I'm assuming he doesn't work any nights. The apartment? It's cute and gets nice light but it's not worth any of this. Especially considering the building next door is the same price and has a gated lot. Go there, I'll see you soon. The bottom line: I still live here and if you've made it this far, I'm assuming you are a member of the Sauer "property management" team and my time is about to come. However, I believe in second chances. So, Dear Sauer Properties, Please, for the love of god, give us a f*#king break. We are a community of people doing the best we can and all we ask is that you stop allowing dangerous people to live here. I know what you are going to say "it's not our responsibility to keep you safe" and I agree with you but the same tenant has verbally assaulted almost everyone in the building. He's threatened our lives. He's called people of color racial slurs. He's even threatened to fight a member of your own staff!! We've given you written testimony, our video surveillance, police reports, restraining orders, AND have taken him to court but since we don't have your support, none of it matters. You have a sign in your office that reads "keep the peace, pay the rent, and we'll take care of the rest." We've kept our promise. It's time for you to keep yours. read more

7444 woodman is roach infested! Don't move there! But I will say this..... the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is because very time I asked them to send exterminator they did send him right away. He did his best. But I think he knows that there is nothing that can really be done to keep roaches away. The whole building needs to be torn down! To be fair, when I told them I could no longer stand living with roaches, they refunded me my deposit & allowed me to move out. I'm grateful for that. But I'd triple check if you're considering moving into one of their properties talk to other tenants at that building when you go see it to see what their experience has been like. read more

If I could give zero stars I would still my Mom got caught up with dealing them and I told her my story they are still playing the same game Scamming people out of application fees just to find a reason not to provide housing. My update is they are looking at what has been removed on your credit and speaking to you as if it still exists on your credit please stay far away from these properties and this company. Dirty and roach infested apartments. That is just the beginnings. read more

CRAIGSLIST SCAM 7423 LANKERSHIM BOULEVARD BLVD TARA YOUNG / TERRA WHITE / 818-691-9588 I don't know if this is fair to put on Sauer Properties Yelp Page, but hopefully this will help in Google Searches (as Mirit S SAVED my girlfriend $1000 - thanks from the great beyond) for others concerned about this ad My girlfriend has been looking for a place and she saw an add on Craigslist for a 1 bedroom apartment. A woman answered the phone number on the ad (Strike 1: never stating her name or job) and said she would need to schedule a same-day tour of the apartment. My girlfriend accepted, went to the apartment and viewed it. It was currently under construction (common in apartments that have been recently moved out of), and there were people working on the apartment as she arrived. Some other prospective tenant was there in the apartment as well, looking it over. My girlfriend called the woman back, and she told her to go to the bank and get the deposit of $1000 to put down (Strike 2: without having signed anything or met anyone official related to the apartment). My girlfriend and I talked it over, but after this woman called her back and sent her the bank info to send the money to (including a name and bank account number) as well as a Rental Agreement Application, we decided it'd be worth a shot to get the money and try to go through with it (seems dumb on paper now, but it made sense at the time). I googled the phone number of the listing: nothing I googled the email address the rental agreement came from: nothing I googled the address of the apartment complex (7423 Lankershim Boulevard) and saw Mirit S' post here about the possible scam. Seeing Mirit reference *everything* exactly at it happened to us, and gave a name (Tara Young in their post), I texted my girlfriend that name and she sent me a picture of the email she got from the woman... Terra White. Strike 3: you're f'n out So - hopefully this helps people when seeing any listings from the person/property on Craigslist. Hopefully Sauer can stop getting their stuff robbed on Craigslist read more

I lived at the 7655 building for more than 2 years. There was sometimes miscommunication with the staff but I enjoyed renting from Sauer Properties. When I had issues, there was a quick turnaround - and my issues were basic wear and tear. No substantial problems. You won't have issues if you keep your apartment tidy and communicate. read more

they don't give a SHIT if your neighbors are loud af constantly, and did nothing to mitigate the many problems I had a 14540 Hartland St. don't give them your business. oh, they avoided giving me my pro rate for January back- avoided my texts, calls and emails. I had to go in person and demand my money back that they said they would refund. read more

Great property to live ,amazing service with great team and very responsive.Thanks for every little things:)

I have lived with Sauer Properties at 7444 Woodman Ave, Van Nuys, CA 91405 for two years (2016-2018). While I admit I have had my issues with the company, the reviews on here led me to believe they are far worse than they actually were―at least for me. PROS____________________________________ 1. The fast response time when it comes to unit maintenance. Typically whenever I had an issue, the issue would be addressed, if not completely fixed, within 24 hours. 2. Do these guys have their own generators? Each time our neighboring apartment complexes experienced a power outage, we didn't. Come to think of it... I don't think I've ever experienced a power outage here, despite Van Nuys having multiple within the last two years. 3. Utilities included! CONS____________________________________ 1. The frequent inspections. When I first moved in, the complex was refurbishing some parts of each apartment; thus, frequent visits from the manager, Sauer Properties technicians, and whatever committees or agencies there are to make sure everything is within protocol/law. The visits lessened as the refurbishing finished. 2. Frequent water shut-offs. This may have also been due to the refurbishing... I noticed the frequency of water issues lessened as the refurbishing came to a finish. 3. That one rude employee. In their defense, though, I was always rude right back. I never helped establish a healthy renter-rentee relationship. SO-SO___________________________________ 1. All renters must communicate with Sauer Properties in person or via text. I personally enjoyed this method as communication strictly by text documents all instances with this company. There is no he-said-she-said battle and would hold up beautifully in court. 2. Autopay via bank account. I prefer paying with my credit card; however, there is a 2% convenience fee associated with that method of payment. OTHER TIPS FOR RENTING_____________________ HOW TO COPE WITH ROACHES Every apartment complex has rats and/or roaches. To help bypass these rodents, choose a unit on the second floor, preferably near the corners of the complex. The fewer neighbors around you, the cleaner the area will remain. Speaking of neighbors, even if one is a slob, keeping your apartment clean helps loads. That means NO food/liquid left out, even in the trash can. Wrap it up, toss it in the dumpster, flush it, eat it, whatever, but don't leave it where critters can get to it! This includes dirty laundry as well! Insects love smelly clothes, especially anything with bodily fluids on it. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION If you are renting here in Van Nuys, OF COURSE you are going to experience some ghetto sh*t. Van Nuys is the home of prostitution. It is also partial to drugs, homelessness, and cars. If you want to live in a nice area, you need to be willing to do the research and pay the price. Don't whine on Yelp about a bad area just because you haven't properly done your research. read more

This review is long overdue. The last 2 years have been full of ups and downs. I am so grateful for Sauer Properties. They worked with me when I got laid off. The office staff are friendly and understanding even when under pressure. I blew up on them a few times because I was stressed. They worked with me during the hardest season of my life. If I need any maintenance, they always come through. I love living here. Thank you so much for everything. An affordable, safe, and clean property. read more

I stayed at the 14555 saticoy location its very out dated. And not worth the rent money. They don't put love into the building at all.the bath tubs are peeling paint. Studio apartments dont have parking, and the thugs come in whenever they please. And they dont even live there. There disturbing the peace. Beware of living here when looking for an apartment. Proceed with caution read more

My experience is they go above & beyond when I need fees handled or any other unforeseen circumstance. Some things shouldn't really happen at all but nonetheless they've dealt with all my gripes. Other tenants have valid individual complaints with management that I've witnessed but personally I'm cool with Paul who always is helpful. I do wish my actual building was more secure and less plumbing issues but overall considering what i pay for rent, I'm relatively content. I like my neighbors as well, a few of whom always look out for me. The homeless and drug addict issue (near MY building) seems to have been resolved and it's much quieter around my building. Hope this remains the temperament read more

I've been renting from Sauer Properties for 10+ years and can honestly say I've had a good experience. Their units are competitively priced compared to anything else available in my area and they have always been been swift to respond to anything I have ever needed. All you gotta do is shoot em a text and they get their team moving. Tim, Paul and the crew are probably the best landlords I have ever had, and have always been pretty chill and understanding when it comes to managing a shared space. I can honestly say I appreciate the family like vibe that I share with the neighbors in my building and am thankful for the value they offer. read more

Got a bit nervous reading the reviews but they were indeed NOT a scam. I scored such a great home. I applied for the apartment and got the keys within 6 hours. The star might have aligned for me, but Sauer Property and the ladies in the office were great. Thanks for making my experience amazing. read more

My girlfriend and I have lived in two separate locations with Sauer properties. First location was 7444 Woodman. It's smaller, but extremely affordable and exactly what I was looking for at the time. Second apt., which we still live in is 5255 Harmony ave. in North Hollywood Arts District. It's affordable in comparison to other apartments here and is a great place to live. Super convenient and walking distance to everything in this area. Both Paul and (especially)Terra have been great to us and we highly recommend renting with these guys. read more

When they say "affordable" it means "everything is literally, not figuratively, constantly falling apart and there is a homeless man regularly chilling in front of my door." You think I'm kidding? Rent from them then. read more

I currently live in one of the apartments. Application process was easy. After finding an apartment on craigslist I went and took a look. They had a lockbox so I didn't have to make an appointment but only let myself in. I filled out an application online and then sent paperwork for verification. Pretty standard. Move in date was flexible. Terra was very helpful. Overall, one of the best experiences. read more

Coming from a tenant who currently lives in 6743 haskell ave every apartment infested with roaches neighbors will agree and i clean my apartment religiously..back looks like a junk yard my windows fall off when i open them they give free water but it runs so slow all over the house also same in every apartment from what they tell me. There is no security in this building homeless ppl and undocumented aliens trespass on take bird baths in the laundry room which is also not in good working order. The storage doors for mine and some of the tenants are coming off hinges. The roof has leaks where we park are cars and storage all my Christmas and holiday stuff got ruined and other personal items the list goes on and on its sad a family with so many properties cant take care of this building.... please help this place read more

I live here & was very hesitant about doing so because of these rude reviews. they're not true. -the Sherman way properties are nice & quiet. -all the tenets are very nice - everyone keeps to themselves. -the apartment is clean, light bright and airy. If you're looking for a place close to everything - with utilites included, updated kitchen , for a reasonable price, this is a cute place! read more

Going to update my review as my experience with sauer properties is just turning into an unpleasant experience. Make sure you document everything as they will try to con the shit out of you when it comes to getting your security deposit back. They charged me for an extra week of rent even though I had left three weeks prior saying I never gave them a proper thirty days. I paid my rent in full and gave them over a thirty day notice and still received a 3day notice to pay rent or quit Notice (mailed to my new apartment building)Best part is they blatantly have chosen to ignore to my calls and text no direct number to actually speak with someone directly. If you want something done I guess you need to go in person to this shady ass roach infested corporation. I've lived here for about 3 years and am just moving out I live at this particular property this is just my honest opinion as a loyal tenant for three years: Pros: all utilities are covered The area while not the best is close to a lot of stores and bus stops (which is nice if you don't have a car. You are also near Norms and a Thai restraunt that doesn't close until 3am. Now on the downside to this place..straight up its roach infested I've had to have my apt fumigated and am basically moving without most of my electronical items because of roaches that have infested the insides of them. The management isn't the greatest when it comes to actual emergency's either. And the parking is a pain in the ass as its limited. While I've been fortunate to not have been hit its scary pulling out when you cannot see out the driveway my friend had his car totaled due to that. Not saying don't live here but be careful don't have anything of actual value. read more

This place owns many properties throughout the Valley. I rented an apartment from here once and let me say they suck. When we needed repairs they would send these men who appeared to be on drugs. They did a really bad job on fixing the things. But i will say, we had a flooded apartment once and called the owner after hrs and those men did come by and fix the problem. Some of the apartments they own are very old and in bad shape. It depends on the building I suppose. read more

I have rented from them for years (5 years) and I have never had an issue with them. Yes sometimes the garbage has gone a little over board, but that's not my problem because they get it handled. Rents affordable and I'm happy and that's all that matters to me. Rents cheap and affordable for those that have decent credit. If you don't have good credit then they might be able to work with you by putting a higher deposit that you will possibly get naked of you don't trash the place. 5 stars for me because I have never had a problem with then and I'm very happy with them. read more

You can only communicate via text. They're shady and not transparent with things and they make mistakes and expect you to cover for them. The folks in the office show they don't care by not wearing masks when interacting with tenants and the repair people they use don't either. Honestly love my place but I don't know if I'd do it again with them read more

My boyfriend and I have been with Sauer Properties for several locations now. They really care about their tenets! Any time we have had an issue they send someone right out! Paul and Terra in the office are amazing and truly care about finding the right place for you. Their properties are a little older but I think it gives them more character! read more

Very Professional and friendly ... Easy to work with .. No matter what your problem is , they will listen and act on it ..

So glad I found this Yelp page with all these reviews I seen a Craigslist ad , for 6858 Kester Ave, $1500 for a 2 bedroom. called and spoke to a girl she agreeded to let me see the place today, I went and viewed it and love it ! She said she would guarantee me a approval as long as I didn't have any bankruptcies or evictions. after seeing the place she sent me the application via email and said the application fee should be sent threw zelle (red flag) because most app fees are threw money orders from what I know of , but yet before I emailed the application and send fee she said someone else was looking to move in that location and that I would need to send her $400 with the app fee included to secure my spot because it was first come first serve ! That is where things got really suspicious because the process just seemed very unprofessional for me to send a deposit to secure a spot ! I still went ahead and sent the app with the $50 fee but I definitely would not move forward with this process after seeing these comments I'll just kiss that $50 goodbye. read more
