Newport Management Corp

Poorly Managed. We had showing for two months before ever getting notifications. Maintenance will take around a month to respond to requests. Accounting department will screw you will extra fees if you’re not smart about keeping an eye out on additional payments/​fee they will try to get away with charging you.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I have never in my life had a worse experience with a company or its employees. These people are crooks and scammers. They have no idea what they’re doing, they do not communicate with eachother or their tenants, they never respond to calls or e-​mails, and they do not respond to maintenance requests ever. Living in one of their properties has been a complete and utter nightmare. I do not suggest renting with Newport to anyone, especially Temple students. They will try to rob you blind. Now, due to the mistakes of a «former employee» (as I was told, but do not fully believe), my roommates and I are being penalized. If by chance you are unfortunate enough to be trapped as one of their unlucky tenants, GET EVERYTHING YOU SAY TO THEM AS DOCUMENTATION! Do not call them on the phone and expect them to stay true to their word. I’d rather live in a cardboard box…

This company has since changed its name to N Property Group. Judging by my own experiences as well as those of other tenants, my guess is that the people running this company are trying to cover up their terrible reputation or have faced some sort of legal trouble. Neither scenario would be surprising.

DO NOT RENT FROM NEWPORT! I REPEAT DO NOT RENT FROM NEWPORT! I am a Temple student that lives on 18^th street, I rented the place I live in from newport, worst mistake I have made. Newport is composed of scammers and crooks. Before I moved in I checked the place and it turned out to be a complete mess, it was so dirty and there was dead bugs everywhere! Gave them a call and they said they will call in cleaning services, a couple of days later I checked the place again, and you guessed it, it was as dirty as the place was before I called them. Called them again about the same issue, they said they will check into it. So I move in and think they must have gotten everything cleaned, but nope, it was still as dity as it was the first time I have seen it. Therefore I had to clean the whole place. A couple of months after moving in the heat and the AC stopped functioning properly and was really loud, contacted newport a million times until they finally sent someone. The repairman looked at it and said it has a whole in it and then leaves, no repairs were done. Contacted them another million times and I got no response. Not only did the AC/​heat not function properly, the washer broke in February, and to this day it is yet to be fixed! Three weeks ago the fridge stopped cooling and started leaking water, some food went bad and the floor was a mess, contacted newport, and of course as usual no repairs were done. Mold also started growing on every wall in the house, which is utterly disgusting. The place turned into a $hithole and newport does not care about their tenants, all they care about is the rent they recieve every month, and if you are late they are quick to jump the gun and start threatning you with eviction, yet when you contact them about something that needs to be fixed they ignore you. I will never ever rent from newport ever again, I’d rather live in a $hithole because I know it cannot turn out to be worse than what it is when I got it. I swear you cannot pay me to renew with newport, they are simply the worse! If you are sane you would steer from any place that has newport associated with it what so ever.

You couldn’t pay me to renew my lease with Newport. You guys are disgusting, greedy, irresponsible, and just all around terrible. This has got to be the worst rental agency in existence. You don’t even properly screen your tenants, you literally let anyone live in your properties and let them do whatever they want INCLUDING allowing a tenant to have a permanent «guest» stay with them who’s listed as a cosigner (which is against the lease!) and when it’s brought to your attention by several people and you are fully aware of the situation instead of investigating it you turn a blind eye and say there’s no proof. Despicable. All they care about is money and taking advantage of people. That one good review is a sham they created an account and posted the BS to make it seem like Newport is good. They are awful, literally awful. You should see how many emails I have sent them and they always refuse to take responsibility. I have maintenance requests from FEBRUARY that haven’t been dealt with. Seriously? Someone needs to find a way to get this place disbanded and have everyone’s rental license or whatever it is voided. You guys have no idea how to treat people I can’t wait until karma gets all of you for all the crap you’re always pulling. UNBELIEVABLE.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO WILL RENT PLEASE READ
Do NOT rent from these inconsiderate, scummy, arrogant, bottom feeders that somehow became a business in the Philadelphia area. I am a student at Temple and after renting from these ass clowns my sophomore year it was an experience I wouldn’t wish upon my worst nemesis.
From the outrageous electricity bills, to the subzero temperatures in the winter, to the rainy day floods, and of course a holler to the family of mice that probably still resides inside the property, this unit at 2261 N Park Ave proved to be a microcosm of the horrendous business practices these morons ensue.
Please please PLEASE do not fall into their trap as this piddly firm based in Ardmore, PA has shaved not years, but DECADES off the lives of myself and my roommates.
Megan, if you are reading this you are a terrible receptionist who lacks both manners and class and how you have a job anywhere is beyond me. Hopefully you get fired after your boss sees this review.
Newport, see you in hell.

I wish I could give negative stars. Only then could this rating be accurate. I’m not going to complain with stories as that would be a waste of both our time. These guys are crooks. Steer clear. I’d say living in a box on the side of a high would provide less of a headache then dealing with these folks.

Don’t rent from this company! My son rented an apartment from them and has not been able to get in touch with them since he moved in. They never answer the phone and do not return phone calls. My son’s rent is suppose to include internet and, you guessed it-​no internet. They are also uninterested in making any repairs. AVOID!

I’ve been renting from Newport Management for a few years now, and their exceptional loyalty and care for their tenants keeps me at their property. If a problem arises, they’re on it the same day no matter what time it is. I would highly recommend Newport to anyone interested to rent in the Philly area.
