Kamap Property Management

I lived at the Aladdin apartments for two years with my boyfriend. I like to think we were good tennants, and I feel like KAMAP appreciated us for not being super loud or dirty. We got practically the entirely of our security deposit back which I was pleasantly surprised about. They only charged us $ 50 for cleaning at move out! Plus the built in steam cleaning fees which were $ 85 through a management-​approved company. KAMAP was very easy to deal with too, answering our calls quickly and responding to problems. The only complaint I have would be the noise. It’s advertised as a quiet building and it mostly is, but they have serious problems with construction. We’re across from 2 sororities and they make noise during rush week. Also every summer as soon as school ended there was super loud work starting at like 6 AM and going til about 12 PM then taking a break for lunch and going on through the evening. This goes on ALL summer. It’s not a bad pay off considering it’s Isla Vista so people should know how great a company KAMAP is over all. Thanks KAMAP for making our stay in IV great!

I lived in one of Kamap’s properties for two years. Out of all the Isla Vista leasing companies, they are one of the best. The gentleman who works at the KAMAP office is approachable and friendly.
They offer a variety of options for housing: duplex, single, double, penthouse, townhouse, house. Their prices are quite expensive. I paid $ 760 for a split single, but our kitchen was niiiice. Everyone who visited the house was just astonished about how beautiful the kitchen was. I probably could have started a cooking show in that kitchen.
Whenever there was a problem with our apartment, we would call in and they would come within the day. They keep all their units clean and well maintained.
A problem we had was plumbing. Our sinks kept getting backed up which affected the surrounding apartments. The first year, we did not have roaches. However, the second year we started to have roaches — it may have been when the new residents were moving in.
I would recommend living here for those who are willing to pay the extra money.

I love the guy that works at the KAMAP office. He is really friendly and easy to talk to.
Why the bad rating?
Well, KAMAP has been quite sloppy with me. All other rental agencies usually deposit checks when they get them. However, KAMAP waited a month before depositing some checks. I called them MULTIPLE times wondering why they hadn’t deposited the check right away, to which they said they did… Lo and behold a month later they withdraw 2 months rent.
Dirty tricks to get late fines?
Better off not dealing with management that are pulling tricks like this. Also their late fee go above and beyond just the time value of money…

Kamap has it’s flaws but overall for iv I would say I had a decent experience. I lived in the penthouse apartments. The apartment was a glorified shoe box. But the location of the office is good, and the people who work there are some of the easier to deal with property management employees. I got most of my security deposit back and the best part in my opinion, some may not agree, is the agreement they have with a cleaning company. Basically if you hire this company when you move out if something isn’t clean they charge the company and not you.
