Worst company ever. Illegally removed me from the lease. Locked me out of the house with all my…read morebelongings inside and my pets. Refused to give me my half months rent back even tho I was off the lease in the middle of the month. Now almost 5 years later they are coming at me for damages that I didnt do, all because they cant get a hold of the person who i used to live there with(she attacked me, so I had no choice but to leave). I had absolutly no association with that house when the other tenant moved out, refused to even do a move out with me. If at all possible avoid using this company. Slum lords is too nice for them. There was actually another tenant in that house after me so I legally cant be charged anything. Didn't even contact me just went to collections

We had problems with this company from the moment they took over management from the building…read moreowner. They appeared with the owner on a Saturday morning ( it was a small 4 unit residential property) & had a "new" lease with them that they wanted us to look over and sign and they would pick it up on Monday. My roommate is very well organized, and as we quickly glanced ate the new lease we noted several glaring changes in it. She said "that isn't right & opened her file folder & removed the original lease... the man from Garamark's jaw hit the floor when he saw that we had a copy readily available & were going to compare. The most notable change is that the new lease had us paying an additional $400 a month rent while receiving a $400 a month special client discount. the gist of it was that if a rent payment was ever late for any reason, the "special client discount" would be revoked & our rent would jump by $400. We had constant problems with the fire alarm system & the fire department got fed up & arranged for a city inspector to go through the suite. This resulted in a 3-page list of changes that are required to bring the suite up to code. They gave us a copy of the list & sent a copy to Garamark & told Garamark they were responsible. Garamark tried to get us to do all the changes & pay for them ( it amounted to about $3000). They sent us reminders in the mail every 2 weeks until the city appointed deadline, then took us to the Residential Tenancies Board & tried to get us evicted. Their reason? We had willfully damaged the suite.. they showed th judge photos they had taken of pictures we had hung on the walls ( in other words, we had made nail holes in the walls). The judge rolled his eyes & ruled in our favor. They tried 3 times to get us evicted, each time the RTB ruled in our favor. The last time, they claimed the city water department had a problem with us & over a series of emails between me and Elsa B from Garamark, threatened numerous actions against us... she kept sending me more and more threatening and abusive emails ( I believe she was trying to get a rise out of me & get me to make a threat against her). I consistently replied politely ( will cc'g a copy of the email to myself to maintain the timeline of the messages). Then I sent the emails to our city councilor and to the water department. When we were back at Residential Tenancies with Garamark, Elsa B was not there representing them... she had apparently been fired.

The unit I was in was not cleaned properly or even finished with all construction prior to move in as it was promised by the realtor. Each unit is assigned a case coordinator, and mine changed all the time with no notification as to who the new coordinator would be. Each time you call for anything you need to know your case coordinator or reception can't direct your call. Now after you move out, they have up to 2 weeks to give you your security deposit back. 3 1/2 weeks and 4 contacts made to Garamark later, I have had no response and no indication that my security deposit has been sent. I strongly advise avoiding this terrible company, and the headache they will no doubt cause you.

Had a horrible experience with Elite property management. Had a 2 month vacancy when the city of…read moreWinnipeg had a vacancy rate of less than 2%. Had been told that Elite had used our house during this time as a transition house for his tenants. Have over $2000 repair in bills in only 4 months of owning the house. A lot of repair work seems very sketchy. ie, $300 for carpet cleaning and our house has majority of hardwood floors. Have heard from sources that ex clients and tenants that up to 50% of his charges are either fraudulent or exaggerated. I have interviewed and talked to some of his clients and ex-employees and have seen this story repeated. Unfortunately much of what I've said I can't prove without a shadow of a doubt, but feel I must pass on this info, as a warning to keep your head up. In my opinion, look elsewhere...

I dealt with this company for several months. In the beginning, they sounded very nice and…read moreprofessional. However, after they got hold of my money, their behavior changed dramatically. It was very difficult to get Jamie on the phone. To speak with him you have to book an appointment online. Seriously? I hire an employee and I have to book an appointment to talk to my employee? The rent money that has been collected on my behalf was spent without my permission and often against my directions. When I complained and requested my money back the answer was "You are not the person who set up the terms in this company". I have my contractors and we agreed with Oak&Apple that they will repair urgent things only, all other repairs suppose to be forwarded to me. Oak&Apple kept sending their "preferred" contractors who were way more expensive and not always provided expected quality. On top of that Oak&Apple, one day decided to charge a "coordination fee" of 24.99 per contractor invoice. Such a wonderful idea. They send their contractor who charges me a high price (based on my opinion) and on top of that Oak&Apple charge me 24.99. All that without my authorization and permission. Tenant selection is another story. I am not sure how their screening process work but in several cases the results were terrible. A few tenants selected by Oak&Apple were very bad. Property inspections were not sufficient as well. Garbage accumulation, fire panel damage were often discovered by inspectors and not by them. In my opinion, this is ridiculous and unprofessional. If I would have known all that I wouldn't have let them manage even a kennel.

There have been multiple times where I would use a government agency to contact them. I can get a response the same day from the office. However leaving messages and emails for them results in multiple week delays, that's if they ever get back to you! I have had multiple situations where there are major issues and filing a request to repair or replace the equipment takes months. However if I go through the Residential Tenancies Branch, they will send a technician out the next day.

When you move in, the caretaker will promise to have your suite painted and new blinds put up but nothing will happen. If you need something fixed be prepared to wait a very long time to have anything even looked at. The roof can leak, there can be mice in the building, and nothing will be done. Paying tenants beware of the money hungry Max Reich and his gross team of scumbag landlords who don't care. Beautiful buildings are in disrepair because of mismanagement, and it's no ones fault but their own. Avoid this company at all costs!
