I lived at this property for four years I could tell almost immediately that there were issues. I…read morewas in a one bedroom one bath on the third floor, within the first few months, There were spiders all over the unit all over the exterior just everywhere I was constantly being bit. I asked Management to spray but because these are considered friendly spiders or something silly, they would not be spraying or maintaining the common areas. A few years later I up moved directly next-door to a corner unit on the third floor 2x1. This unit was completely redone, It was very nice however, I knew the neighbors prior, and when I had gone into the unit, there was black mold all over the bedrooms. There have been multiple addicts come in & out of these apartments. The last one I encountered lived underneath me on the first floor, unfortunately, he had passed away due to his circumstances he was discovered about a month later according to the ME. I did ask the property management immediately if the hazmat team would be coming to clean, I was told no it was due to the scene not being released, I called both ME & Police I found that it was released that night. The family had to be contacted to remove whatever valuables in the apartment, I believe there was a team who removed carpet and the couch, but they are not the ones who cleaned the whole contaminated unit. Management uses the maintenance guys to do that. The apartment was gutted and materials laid underneath my window for nearly 2 weeks, The smell was horrendous, We were given absolutely no accommodations or suggestions. I moved almost exactly 12 days later while not the only reason I've moved it was a huge factor. The elevator consistently goes out. There's never a timeframe repairs, the pests, the different types of people who come in and out of those units. There was also a guy who was a voyeur, borderline offender, he may have even been convicted. every time tenants complained to Management about these type of people, we were told we just need to continue to call the police it just felt like there was no responsibility on management to vet or remove, the drift draft it made our home feel very unsafe, this isn't just my opinion I've had many neighbors that share the same sentiment most who have since moved out. Outside of these experiences, with Property Management, the area is beautiful, going to the beach year-round is indescribable. It is extremely close the water, and shops, a lot of which have changed over the years but it is beautiful the one thing I also want to mention is coming from the bay area and moving to a suburban neighborhood I experienced more shootings, more violence, the absolute chaos around 4th of July that lasts months. I did stay to myself for the most part, so I was never related to any of this. The entire experience wasn't terrible or unbearable, but the accumulation of those few BAD experiences I've had were enough to make anybody leave. When I did leave I had been told many times prior that they do not do rental references if complain and hold people accountable, they DO rental references. Unfortunately, admittedly I did hit hard times due to the pandemic but always communicated and rent always got paid yet. They still ended up doing a negative rental reference even though "they don't do them", which is unfortunate that there's no consistency. Vashti was amazing unfortunately she's no longer there, I won't disclose the names of the others but they start with "L". Ultimately if These properties were under different management, I would move back because the price is decent for seattle and you get a beach, look out for Charlie In maintenance he's an absolute peach he was always soo kind and friendly.also a tall guy who does landscaping he's got a beautiful soul and personality I always love seeing him with his headphones and huge smile.

I would highly recommend partnering with them on your next home (if you would like to lease or lease out your home).

I know it all and you don't even get to have an opinion" attitude. And that's before we have even signed a lease for a property his company manages, a time when he's supposedly on his best behavior. Can't say I'm surprised though, considering the leasing agent that I initially worked with openly stated that he will work against me. So, Dwellings' poor average rating seems to be well deserved and the only thing that's surprising is why any property owner would trust them with their investment. I'm wondering if they even know how poorly Dwellings is representing them.

My friends and I…read moreapplied for a home to rent, and one friend paid the deposit and signed the agreement and the other two of us did not, as we had not seen the home. I was then pressured by Venita to sign the agreement and received a long string of furiously written, threatening, and juvenile emails when I did not want to sign the documents because I had not yet seen the property. After receiving those emails I decided without hesitation that I did not want to be bound to this management company as their tenant. Without carrying on too much in this review, Venita Longley raised such a large issue about returning the $500 deposit, threatened to keep it with only one signature on the lease agreement (not fully executed), that I had to get my lawyer involved. Avoid this management company at all possible costs.

When I moved in, the unit was not properly cleaned, and I was never provided with a move-in inspection form to document the condition. Despite this, management has repeatedly asked me to sign off on their version of the report for months, while refusing to provide me the proper form to complete myself. There has also been a pattern of trying to place responsibility on me for things that are not my fault, along with practices that feel questionable and, at times, not in line with proper tenant laws. Overall, I have felt completely neglected as a tenant and have had to follow up multiple times just to get basic responses. This is not a well-managed property, and I would strongly caution anyone considering renting here.

There is a lot of work that goes unseen by the general, relatively uninvolved owners and certainly their renters.

Todd is especially good at keeping a level-head and recognizing what is priority and what is static in the system. Good management upsets those who would throw a monkey-wrench into the works and CMI does the right thing rather than trying to assuage the off-track harmers of the community good.

I also think Richard is fantastic - I put in requests and he gets to them within a week or so. I am debating moving out because they use Conservice, which most large complexes do. I have never had an issue with them before. I am home a very small amount of time - I moved from an 800 square foot unit where I lived with another person. We ran the dishwasher, laundry etc. every week like usual. Paid no more than $120 a month (on the high end!) and one of us worked from home. SCL averaged $100 every other month. Since moving in to this unit with just myself, 300 square feet less, and I do not work from home, my bill has ballooned to anywhere between $170-$220 a month. My SCL is the same or lower price. So I know my habits have not changed. If anything, my bills should be lower because there is no mathematical way they can be this high now. I'm being told it's because I use too much water?? I am home even less than usual, so even if I am using more water, my bills should still be the same as it always is. If not lower! I'm disappointed because they say their hands are tied. I appreciate low to no renewals for rent, but because of how my bill fluctuates so wildly I basically pay $100+ more a month to live here than I did at a larger unit. I would think twice about moving in, which is a total shame because my neighbors are lovely and I do like the location. But it's not worth this headache and dismissal because I feel like I'm being taken advantage of as a tenant which is the worst feeling.
