Fdc Management

Harbor Lights Apartments: Terrible Company, first shows the beautiful green area and trees, then rips your packet off!!! They try to make more money by asking people to vacate when one year lease apartment is due for no reason. By not renewing your lease they make more money on the month to month bases on the top of the new rent market value price! They did this to so many of my neighbors that I knew them!!! There are about 600 apartments, they do this to lets say %30, average overpayment is $ 300, results $ 54 000 extra money for them, not bad hun? then they make more money for all kind of extra NOT entitled charges, like: cleaning, carpet changes, painting, etc. and for the new tenant they don’t do any of those and get new deposit and new cycle begins!!! Natalie does not provide an honest job, she didn’t show me the apartments which were available, and she put me in an apartment wilt a lot of problems, heater was broken, and so many other problems.

If you want to do yourself a favor, never rent a place managed by this company. The management is the worst we’ve seen in many years of renting experience. They take months to fix a problem if they ever fix it. Most of the time they tell you that you can move out if you’re not satisfied. Expect a big increase at the end of your lease. FDC Management company is only interested in your money, without any consideration for their customers.

A terrible company to rent an apartment from. I rented an apartment for two years always paid my rent early or on time. Was an excellent tenant with no complaints. They increased my rent by over $ 300 a month in 2 years. When I wanted to downsize to a smaller unit I had to reapply and because of a small blip on my credit report from 5 years ago, that had been resolved when I moved into the apartment 2 years previously they denied my application! I had already been told by management after looking at my file that I was ok to move into the smaller unit and took my $ 668 to hold the apartment till I came off my vacation. The night before I was due to fly out they called me to say my application was denied and I had to get a co-​signer to sign some paperwork. As I did not have time to arrange this I lost the apartment and upon returning from my vacation had two weeks to move out or pay 2000 month for a one bedroom one bathroom with loft until I could find another apartment somewhere else. They already have over $ 2000 of mine for the deposit on the apartment I was already in. In all it would have cost me $ 4000 to downsize to a one bedroom apartment with all the deposits. Hopefully I would have got my deposit from the apartment I was already renting back in 21 days but after reading reviews of this company I am doubtful I will get that back. They did return my $ 668 after keeping it for 3 weeks and would not apply it to my last months rent. These people are dumb. I have seen so many evictions and they are renting to some dodgy crazy people the turn over is costing them so much money especially with the amount of evictions. I was a good tenant and was poorly treated. This is a stupid way to do business! I will never rent a place that is managed by these people ever again. When I called the corporate office they were rude and said they do not look at whether or not you pay your rent on time! Go figure!

This is a very bad company. They are rude and don’t care. Never rent at this place.

This by far the WORST management company to ever do business with. I lived at Harbour Lights Apartments in Huntington Beach, CA. Whenever an issue came up, they handled the situation in the worst way. Every time you would go into the office, there were always new people working there. They couldn’t even keep their employees and their residents for very long. As I was getting ready to move out, they made it terrible for me. I had all the paperwork they needed to be signed off the lease and they wouldn’t let me leave. I did everything they asked and all they kept doing was feeding me more lies. Lies that came directly out of the GM’s mouth, Yolanda. Stay far away from this complex and this management group. When I went to sign the papers to move, the girl in the office «lost» the legal documents that were already signed by others and i needed to sign. She was frantically calling other people in the ofice trying to find them. About 30 min later they were mysteriously found. As I finally was able to get out of there, I called FDC management to make a complain at least 5 times and asked to speak to the top person and NO ONE would ever call me back. I finally received a call from Yolanda, but there was no reason to talk to her when she was the one that caused most of the problems so it was pointless. I would never recommend this property or any other ran by FDC management to anyone.

This management company is very poorly ran, from the president right down to the assistant manager. Several landlord laws were broken when they attempted to pay my rent without proper notice, and because the manager who worked there the entire time I lived here was unexpectedly let go. I walked in the office just one day after speaking with her only to find… «She no longer works for the company» when I saw he moving out, as she was the onsite property manager she explained that the messy as the encounters I was having are a direct reflection on the company. I went to Dana Zini who clearly doesn’t know that you cannot increase a tenants rent in excess of 10% without 60 days notice. Mr. James Wohrman president of the company has also turned a blind eye to the issue. Long story short Small claims court it is. I have tried every avenue to rectify the matter however small claims court is in place for a reason I suppose. I cannot wait to have a judge review this case.

These people are AWFUL in every way!!! They will do ANYTHING to get your money. So hard to get a hold of anyone and when you do they give you the run around and blame the onsite manager of the complex. All they want is to screw people out of their money. They raised the rent and laundry price when nothing was working properly and wouldn’t get anyone out to fix anything. Took 3 weeks to get the blinds fixed. Cost $ 35 for the garage door opener when you can get the same one at Home Depot for $ 7. They hire the worst and most stupid managers for their complexes. We will be taking legal action against them and their no REFUND of deposit BS. DO NOT LIVE ANYWHERE THAT THIS COMPANY MANAGES. You will get lose lots of money.

Rude, disrespectful and dismissive. I was referred to them and was cut off multiple time while talking in their office. If this is how the company treats people in person, I can only imagine how rough they are to talk with on the phone or by email. There are so many property management companies in Orange County wanting your business and this didn’t seem like they cared to listen.

This is a horrible property management company they have no control over their onsite landlords and maintenance team. They are rude unprofessional staff that only have the dollar in interest. If you choose to stay at any of their properties especially Casa Monterey expect for the lowest and worst living experience anywhere and as a tenant they encourage you to go month to month being they upcharge the monthly rent and the manager has a tendency to kick out residents on no due cause. If any thing breaks expect a long wait to fix it… a long wait months. Just live somewhere else.

these jokers have me so riled up i am thinking official complaint or legal action for their rubbish behavior, how are they even in business makes anyone who dealt with them wonder, it is a disgrace. keep it up and i am sure they wont be.
is there a zero or neg star for these bunch of incredibly ridiculous rude upperty up theirs where the sun don’t shine hung up the phone on me cos they are so ridiculous they dont have an answer for you so they have to hang up on you horrible management company??? twice for that matter and i dont even know them
i tried getting a tenant’s reference from their tenants in an apt they manage, moving out, and with this type of management them tenants shd move out asap, i spoke to kristen who said i had to fax over that tenant’s appln form in writing, and she will fax back that tenant’s reference, this is what she promised,
get it straight alleged manager miss denise who lives for million years, you owe me an apology, not get upperty with me and tell me you manage only high class property. i do not care if you have the white house in your portfolio, in your hands it will degrade to slumdogmillionyears with your zero people skills.
so goes the fax, and then guess what, kristen called me back and said no, she cannot give me any reference cos they hadnt given her notice to quit… so she started her nonsense few more blabber about company policy and hung up on me when i protested, what has it bloody got to do with a reference as to whether they pay rent on time?
so you folks basically lied to induce me to send you a tenant application form so you know where your tenant are moving to???
that is exactly what they got out of me — if you have such a damn policy say so before i faxed you, do not say you will do something and then say no, miss high class.
she does not have a logical answer to her nonsense, kristen hung up on me!!!
ok so i called back like an adult calmly bit my tongue and asked for the manager, and she the alleged manager denise said, yes!!! what do you want??? i am busy working? unbelivable, expletives to her, no wonder her subordinates can behave like that. she repeated it is her «company policy» not to disclose information if tenant has not given them notice to quit, again this is irrelevant, and best part to top it off, she insulted me and said they are high class management and they do things differentlty. yes you do things horribly and you lie, that is the difference.
denise even said, she is high class and at my place we probably have no standards basically because i did not know of their newly concorted rule that they will lie to you about faxing over a reference then come up with company policy, say what??? denise you should check your negative Unilocal feedback before you go off at me, i do not have tenants cussing at me here like you all do.
****best utter nonsense of the year award to her******, she came up with is she started picking on the tenant application form which her dear co-​worker kristen had asked me to fax over, she actually said why did you fax us such confidential information-​guess why??? — because you knuckleheads told me to, she said i should have just faxed a tenant’s name and her signature to her, so miss high class — why the hell did you not say that before i faxed??? arent you in the business of protecting tenant’s confidential information??? so they are utterly unreasonable and incomprehensible and they retreat from reasoning by hanging up the phone on you, great job!!! .
to make herself seem even dafter, she said what if the fax went to the wrong hands, yes ms denise– what if a meterorite strike the earth, then tell me about it, what if what??? stop your nonsense if you just want to get tenant’s new address and info where they are moving to.
plus pray tell, if she is so professional and upperty like her royal highness is, she will not condescend a owner who might bring her company business, who are the ones feeding your business. what if i want to hire management, i will not hire fdc, which stands for fxxking degrading condescending management. denise the alleged manager told me, she is so upperty and have «million years experience, yes you do sound old but you dont live for million years trust me, and she even said she does not have time to teach me landlord and tenancy laws before off course she hung up on me, like her high class co-​worker did. what a joke, you shd learn some rules and common courtesy than hang up the phone yourselves from how horrible you are.
if i were the ownner hiring them, i would have fired them yesterday, they bring the properties down, they bring the repute of any company they run down way down, guess who i will not consider hiring as managers will not spit in their direction, stay away from fxxking degrading condescending management — unless you want to get hung up on, oh cos they are so high class they only know how to hang up the phone on you

I strongly recommend you stay as far away from this complex and managing company as you possibly can. They only care about taking your money and making a profit (I have no problem with them wanting a profit, as long as they CARE about the people paying them and give us something WORTH our money!).
They skimp on maintenance and make the place extremely dangerous for you and your family. Their shortcuts came within 2 seconds of killing my children. When I went to the office to tell them how I upset I was about what happened, I was told this (EXACT QUOTE): «It’s no big deal because nothing actually happened.» EXCUSE ME?! YES, it is a HUGE deal that splintered, rotted wood and giant sharp nails came crashing down into our yard just as my children were walking out there to play and RIGHT AFTER they supposedly fixed it (we had to leave the apartment for the whole day to allow them to «fix» the problem — apparently, their idea of fixing the problem was to keep the rotted wood and just try to put bigger nails into it).
They CLAIM they are pet-​friendly but this is just another thing they «tolerate» in order to get additional security deposit AND pet rent from you. The second they hear a peep from your pet, they call to complain. I’m sorry, but a dog is going to BARK when you knock on the door and when you are standing directly next to our yard. That is what dogs do. They had the nerve to suggest I SHOCK COLLAR my dog because they didn’t like it when he barked as they walked by the apartment’s yard (which he would only do if we were not home). I WILL NOT abuse my pet for anybody.
My neighbors are constantly smoking cigarettes near the walkway, which is illegal in the city of Camarillo. I complained numerous times and they did nothing about it — they would only bring them a piece of paper stating the law. I also complained numerous times about my excessively loud upstairs neighbors that would consistently wake my children up in the middle of the night. Nothing was ever done and nothing ever changed. Additionally, they toss their trash over their patio into our yard on a pretty regular basis and nothing is ever done about this. Once, they threw over a bag of rotting, raw hamburger meat that my dog got hold of and could have become extremely sick. Again, nothing was done.
They refuse to let you bring any pool toys/​floaties/​etc to the pool or else they take your pool key away (which is also your laundry key). I can’t tell you how many times I witnessed people breaking their pool rules and nothing was ever done about it. My children and I followed the rules and my kids constantly asked me why others could have toys but they couldn’t.
I am leaving after 2 years of putting up with this ridiculousness. My lease IS UP AND DONE but they are charging me for an extra TWO WEEKS even though I TOLD them I was likely leaving several weeks ago. At that time, they told me they «appreciate 30 days notice in writing» but I was telling them verbally. When I went to tell them I am officially moving as I’ve been approved for a house, I was immediately met with RUDE responses — «You DO know that you WILL be liable for a full 30 days from now and you WILL pay us.» They refuse to budge despite the fact that I TOLD them I was leaving prior to this AND THAT MY LEASE IS OFFICIALLY UP. Well, their lovely response was «well you did not sign this OFFICIAL notice of vacating so it didn’t count». When I responded that they NEVER mentioned this paperwork I had to sign, I was told «We don’t have to tell you about it.» !!! Angrier and angrier. When I asked to take it home to look over what I HAVE to sign to leave, THEY REFUSED. They kept claiming blank forms are no longer valid if they leave their office. I was not allowed to take the papers to an attorney to read over what I have to sign to leave the apartments — how is any of this legal??? They said I MUST sign the papers right then and there or my notice is not official. I was FORCED to sign this under duress — my choice was to come back later with an attorney and have to pay extra fees for that PLUS extra weeks rent or sign it without getting to review it. Additionally, when I asked for copies of everything they had in their chart about me, they REFUSED to provide copies of anything that I hadn’t signed in the past. There was a whole huge stack of papers that were ABOUT ME in MY FOLDER that they would not provide to me. They claimed I needed a court order to see my own paperwork. To top it all off, your notice isn’t even official until THE NEXT DAY so they can charge for an extra day!
