Able Property Management

The renter that Able PM selected was consistently behind on the rent, and incurred more costs in damages to the house when they left than the $ 1000 security deposit, that Able PM requested, was able to pay for. If you are a homeowner and you utilize their services, make sure to insist for a higher security deposit than Able PM currently requests to protect your asset. Also, their final move-​out inspection missed a lot of damages caused by the renter. I would not use their property management services again.

If I could’ve given them zero stars I would have. Ive been dealing with their Unprofessionalism for the last 5 years. They never fix anything in a timely manner. For instance my dishwasher broke LAST summer June 2013. I called and emailed them about 10 – 15 times. It wasn’t until the housing authority contacted them that they fixed it Last month! June 2014. Ive been asking to have my AC fixed for months. They send someone out who says everything is fine yet my house is almost 80degrees when my thermostat is set on 70. Finally after numerous attempts I had a very rude lady call me to tell me my problem is that the problem with my ac is that I set it on 70. She then proceeded to tell me that her house is set on 80 degrees and it feels just fine. When I tried to explain that my AC should be at the temp I set on no matter what that is! She then laughed at me and told me I was delusional if I thought my AC would EVER be under 70 degrees. Needless to say I am still waiting while my AC works over time to cool my house. Thanks for the EXTERMELY high PGE bill… your truly a struggling single mom!

The most UNPROFESSIONAL company I have ever worked with. First of all, my house was not ready for move in when they said it was going to be ready. Strike one. Second, they ding me for a late fee (I was out of town and mailed my payment that month) since my payment didn’t arrive thanks to the postal service. Instead of calling me and checking in on where the rent might be, they immediately give me a 3 day notice and ding me another 15 dollars to post it on my door, despite the fact I was out of town. Now, I realize they probably deal with a bunch of deadbeats with it being Bakersfield and all, but I have never made a late rent payment in my life and they absolutely refused to give me the benefit of the doubt. Thank the post office for the majority of that one.
Last straw: when giving my 30 day notice, I figured I’d be nice and turn it in with 35 days before I intended to move out. Anyone who actually reads the letter could tell you what day I intended to move out. I’ve had to correct them no less than 3 times about my actual move out date. They can’t compute a partial month of rent, they can’t even arrive for a move out inspection on time, even when they set the date! Stay away from this completely incompetent company, they will waste your time and treat you as if your business doesn’t matter. I never write reviews on these things, but I feel especially compelled to share my experiences.
