When we were trying to set down a time to see the home, we were told there was an open house that coming weekend. We thought this was strange since there had been no one else interested in the home. This information was given to use on a Tuesday. The following day, after trying to reach Alex again and schedule a tour of the home before the open house, we received a response with a simple "this home has been rented". Mind you there was no phone call,although it was given to him, only emails were exchanged. We are extremely disappointed in how unprofessional our interactions with Alex were. We don't understand how this was executed as we were very excited for the opportunity Alex had promised us. We do not recommend his business.

I have been a client of Aquarius for 9 months, and have been very impressed with their handling of my property. The entire team at Aquarius has been extremely professional, and gone out of their way to handle my questions and concerns.

They are not worth your business and they will only disrespect your time, without even apologizing for any inconvenience their total lack of communication may have caused you! If I could give them 0 or negative stars, I'd gladly do that for Aquarius Property Management!! Outstandingly poor business practices!! I ended up finding a much better house elsewhere anyway, where I dealt with people who understand the value of communication and proper customer service. This company does not deserve your business, and-as a hard working law abiding customer, you certainly don't deserve to be treated poorly during your home search. Please do yourself a favor, and deal with another company! Good luck in your home search!

They are nothing but Shysters.

I was excited to begin my relationship with Schneider Property Management, as I had found an…read moreaffordable apartment in acceptable shape. While the apartment itself was in barely acceptable shape, I really loved it's cute little vibe, and was happy to have found it. Most of the issues were due to poor upkeep and were things I was happy to mend or repair myself. At this point my apartment is aesthetically really beautiful and I love it! That said, I would ABSOLUTELY NEVER RECOMMEND RENTING FROM THIS AGENCY. Schneider Property Management and their employees treated me with consistent disrespect, condescension, and above all non-responsiveness to safety issues. Pursuant to the Yelp community guidelines I will not post anybody's full name, but the two Melissas who work there are rude, vindictive, childish in their communications, and utterly none responsive tenant issues, even those regarding safety violations. My primary cmplaint upon moving in was that the electric stove had incorrect drop pans installed. Because of this, the coils were unable to clip into place. This means that the burners, having nothing to hold them steady, slant, tilt, wobble, and cannot support the weight of even a small pot or pan, rendering them unusable. I reported and explained this issues to both Melissas consistently beginning in January of 2022, several times in February and all through March. When they sent a maintenance person, he recommended a new unit. When I followed up again, I was told that they would not be providing a new unit or new drip pans. Unfortunately, the problem worsened. The constant shifting and wobbling of the burner coils resulted in electrical damage to the burners. One day when I went to turn one on, it exploded in my face shooting sparks across the room and into my face and hair. It also tripped the power in the building. This has now happened two times, each time with the two smaller burners which are the most unstable ones. Clearly, this does not constitute safe living environment. It could have burned me or even started a fire. Upon reporting the new developments with this issue, I was very rudely told that they would not be addressing it. To name just a few of the more minor issues I have struggled with: -They advertised one rent for my apartment and then charged me more. -The hot water often runs out after 5-10 minutes. There is never enough to fill the bathtub. -They posted a flyer in the hallways stating that they would be doing "random checks" to make sure tenants did not have their windows open in the winter months--which is illegal. Landlord are not permitted to do random checks, they are required to provide 24 hours notice before entering the premises. -There is no doorknob on the door to my balcony, there is just a hole, so the door simply stands open to the outdoors. -The front porch is broken and has exposed rusted screw sticking out in several places. -The banister in the stairwell is broken and unable to support weight. This could cause harm if someone tried to use it. -The windows in the bedroom are not in proper working order. As soon as you unlock them, the top window slams down. This could break your fingers/hand or even shatter the window. I have reported these issues using the websites maintenance request form, as well as by sending direct e-mails, and they have not been addressed. I even reported several issues directly to Craig, the owner of the company, and he told me not to contact him anymore and blocked my number. I have never paid rent late a day in my life. I have cared for my home, patching some of the chipped paint, cleaning up kitty littler and poop from the last tenants, gotten rid of BUCKETS of cigarette butts from prior inhabitants, and been polite and professional in my communications. The renters of Southern Maine Deserve better than Schneider Property Management and I advice renters to avoid them at all costs.

Mainely Properties...where do I start?…read more My husband's job was relocated to Portland and this is the FIRST PM Company we inquired. Like most places, MPM required a $20 background check fee for a property. No big deal. We paid the $40 the night BEFORE we saw the Apt we were so excited about. Drove 2 hours the next day from MA to see the apt and met Zach who enthusiastically showed us the place. He thought we would make "great tenants" and said he'd talk to the owner of said property, and we'd have an answer on Friday (we visited Weds). Friday came and went...nothing. The following week came and went...nothing! We didn't get a response til over 2+ weeks later saying that "the apt has been rented to somebody else"...gotta LOVE that classic line! Mind you this is after emailing the owner of the company AND multiple emails/phone calls to Zach + Co which the majority went UNANSWERED. We also inquired about a couple other properties we were interested in...but all we got is SILENCE! And it's PATHETIC that this "Property Management Company" wouldn't give my husband and I a chance to rent knowing our DIRE situation facing being homeless... If someone can explain to me why ANY PM company would turn away a Veteran--who has a Federal position--and his family AWAY (even w/not such stellar credit), please PM me. We're still looking for a 2BR 3 months later, still facing homelessness AND that $40 we paid could've gone to our Special Needs toddler. This place IS a joke. The owner should be embarrassed.

No key available on move-in day which was a Sunday. Took three hours to get someone from Biddeford to call to say where the key was left.

I spent $7000 on fuel in 5 months and froze my a$$ off. My son and I had pneumonia and so did my dog who I had to put down. There was flaking lead paint, asbestos, frozen pipes, no working appliances. AND MAINELY PM COULD CARE LESS!!! They never answer the phone, rarely call back. The maintenance people were unlicensed and had no idea what they were doing. The lawn was mowed four times in a year. Yelp needs to give Zero stars as an option.

I did and they won't come in without having a contract or the landlord's contacting them directly.I am choosing to leave due to this and the day that I was finishing moving out and have texted them saying Please let me know if I can't park in the parking lot while moving, they tow my car. Mind you when I first moved in I was told by my original roommate Charlotte and Marielle that parking was available for all tenants after 5 PM and only until 7 AM. The residents that parked there during the day pay for their spots specifically $40 I was told . I asked to buy a parking spot and when I first purchased it, it was fine to park there day and night which is why I purchased it to begin with. They decided to change this again and say even if you pay for a spot, you can't park there during the day unless u want to pay much more. I wouldn't have gotten a spot if I knew I was only paying for nighttime use when that was available to everyone and still is ? Up until September, I parked in the parking lot without anything ever being sent to me otherwise and I never thought that this was wrong until they suddenly started saying the parking pass that I purchased was not valid for the daytime.. They have now towed me three times. For some reason, YAZ towing always has a different price. It says in the parking lot on signs parking reserve for MAINE med workers however, there are no main Med workers that park there so the sign is misleading and a false reason to tow residents. I can never sleep here. They are very well aware of this and I am desperate to get out of this building. The fact that they know knew I was moving out officially today and they tow my car during the process? Makes absolutely no sense to me. Also, I have not been able to use the oven here since this began. I can hardly use the fridge and I have to clean that daily. I really hope for the next tenant they actually swap out the fridge and the oven. Because it would be really disturbing for them to have somebody move in here who actively told them they are both infested in bed bedbugs. It is so disappointing that this could've been so avoided and this is something a tenant should never endure. It says in the lease that they handle pest control. I have harmed myself on multiple occasions with pesticide and chemicals and industrial steamer trying to solve this on my own. A professional is needed. They are aware of this. I have offered to pay for modern pest coming, begged, cried. I can't believe how careless they are to their tenants who have paid them monthly for a year and a half. They are well aware of how this is affected my quality of life. They have been given a letter from my doctor in so much more. I'm not the only person going through this here.
