Can we give a "0" rating? We feel Candice is very unreasonable. She rented us the Anchorage Street place for the Christmas holiday, but when the Covid spike hit LA, the governor mandated no non-essential travelers (we are from the Midwest and wanted to visit our son for the holiday). VRBO advised her to refund us or allow us to reschedule. Candice said NO TO EVERYTHING and won't refund or reschedule!!!!! We are still paying a cleaning fee for a place we never visited! She is the only California based landlord/condo owner that has we've heard of to do this. We are VERY DISAPPOINTED in her and hope she comes around to something reasonable. Our advice- AVOID A PROPERTY WITH CANDICE INVOLVED. Like us too short to put up with the BS @&$)( she is putting us through! ( Candice- you do know that Karma will catch up to you. Right? ) read more

Most, if not all of these negative reviews are accurate. We rented of Hollywood Way in Burbank. She kept every neighbors deposit. Then she did it to us for basic wear and tear. Like she held $500 for paint and we lived there 4 years. No holes. She was very snappy and rude. Hot and cold. Demanded to come in without notice. Had humpty Dumpty time wasting workers. She held $900 of our deposit. She knows small claims is a waste of time for us. Slum lord. read more

Just a heads up to whoever gets 448 Milford ST Glendale APT B, is home to all the cockroaches in LA. Candice had pest control come twice but it was a temporary fix. I found out from neighbors that the tenants before me had the same problem. read more

We rented an apartment from Candice for the past 5 years. When we moved in, the apartment had been renovated including a nicely remodeled kitchen. The few times something broke or wasn't working quite right, Candice was prompt to rectify the situation. When the city proposed a project that everyone in the neighborhood was opposed to, Candice showed up to the town hall meeting to voice her concern along side all of us. The only reason we moved is because wife is pregnant and we realized that our 1 bedroom just didn't have the space for a baby. When it came time for our move-out inspection, Candice returned all of our security deposit. This was our home for 5 years and we were sad to leave. Candice was always fair and honest with us so I whole-heartedly recommend renting from Candice. read more

I rented an apartment from Candice several years ago in Burbank, CA. During the 5 years that I lived there, Candice was very responsive when issues occurred. She even reimbursed several tenant's for laundry money when the dryer was not working effectively. One of the things that I appreciated most about Candice was her thoughtfulness around the Holidays and her willingness to allow pets, more specifically dogs. She is definitely a great landlord that I would rent from again! read more

Candice is an excellent owner/manager. It's enough of a challenge to move into a whole new area without having renting hassles. My apartment was freshly painted, the carpet felt brand new, and she was very responsive to my needs. Unlike some landlords, she takes your calls directly and does not hide behind several layers of employees. For what i received, the price was fair, and I especially like her proactive maintenance stance. The close attention paid to my rental totally relieves me of concerns about my living situation and that allows me persue my passion, my job. Marshall S. read more

I have found Candice to be thorough, fair and very competent in all of my interactions and business dealings with her. She goes well beyond what is required to keep her properties up to date and safe. She constantly and consistently upgrades units with such things as granite, new flooring, siding, etc. In addition, she is caring enough to go the extra mile to help her tenants. I would definitely recommend her as a landlord! read more

My group of 5 adults and 2 kids took a weeklong summer vacation to Marina Del Ray. We had the pleasure of renting 119 Anchorage street, a recently renovated 3 apartment building a block away from Venice Beach. To start, the location is absolutely perfect for a first timer to California. The rooftop view of the beach and mountainside was a sight to be seen. I took advantage of that calming view every night. Not only is the beach and the boardwalk so close, there are quite a few great restaurants and bars in the immediate area. I love craft beer and walked (yes, walked) to Firestone Walker Brewing. I absolutely recommend this apartment and would love to go back. read more

DO NOT rent from Candice Harding Save yourself the hassle, frustration and misery and avoid renting from Candice. It just isn't worth it. There isn't a more unfair, hard headed and selfish landlord in all of LA. Let me tell you my personal experience while renting from her for over 4 years. All of this is absolutely true. She hires the most incompetent handymen to do specialized jobs. When the chimney leaked rain water down into our unit, her workers temporarily patched the ceiling leaving it bowed and swollen with two holes in it for more than a year. One time our rent check got lost in the mail. I had mailed it a week in advance of the first of the month and it just got lost in the shuffle. She accused me of lying to her about mailing it, refused to accept an electronic bank or Venmo transfer citing that it was an "illegal" form of payment and forced me to drive from Venice to her mailbox in Hollywood to hand deliver a new check on the first of that month. She called me later that day to tell me that the original check had finally showed up. She's a very shady person with questionable character. One example of this is when she issued us a "three day perform or quit" because someone had left a bike and a bag of potting soil in the common area hallway. We apologized, admitting that we shouldn't have left the items in the hallway, but the real kicker was Candice's explanation as to why nothing should be in the hallway. She said, "if there's a fire and a fireman has to carry your body out of the building and trips on something in the hall, then my insurance won't cover the damage." So she wouldn't be worried about the safety of HUMAN BEINGS, she would only be worried that her property insurance would be void due to a fireman tripping amongst the chaos. Candice expects everyone to follow every rule and law to a T, but she breaks her own rules, rental agreements and contracts consistently. It explicitly states in her lease that the landlord cannot show up to the rental property without a 24 hour notice. Well, Candice broke this rule approximately 10 times between May 2017 and March 2018 alone. She continually showed up to our apartment without telling anyone. One time when she showed up unannounced and parked in our private garage without permission, she closed the overhead garage door onto the hood of her own car causing the door to cave in, the window to shatter and putting all of our belongings at risk while the door would not close. I had to leave work to come home and meet with the garage door company while it was being repaired. We asked why she was there in the first place since she hadn't notified us that she was coming over and she said she was "just driving by" and that she had some things that she was putting into storage inside the unit, which seems to be a contradiction. If she hadn't crushed the garage door, none of us tenants would ever have known that she came over while we were at work. The last time she came over unannounced was on January 13, 2018. She knocked on our door and handed me an envelope and said that she was raising the cost of our rent. Here is a direct quote from the conversation: "it's going up 10% the first of March, and then April 1 it's going up a lot and you're probably not going to be able to afford it so you're going to have to move out." She raised our rent from $3,900 to $6,995. Our unit had electrical issues for 2 months before it was fixed. We had intermittent power where the electric would go in and out nearly 15-20 times per day. She had her very poor electrician come and look and he could not find the problem. It was not until we found our own electrician that the problem was finally solved. Once when a new roommate moved in, Candice told us both on the phone and in writing the cost of the monthly rent. After sending two rent checks at that amount, she called me to tell me that we were short by $100 each of the two months. We tried explaining that we only sent the amount that she had told us in writing but she would not hear it and said "if you can't afford to live there then you can leave." Not only did she fail to reason with us and not admit fault, she made us pay the $200 total that she said we owed her. Candice took half of our security deposit when we moved out saying that we didn't clean, specifically the blinds, and caused damage to walls with nail holes, etc. We cleaned every panel of every blind before we left. Also, when we left she turned our apartment into a construction zone; tearing up carpets and sawing wood inside for new floors which obviously made a huge mess. I'm not sure how she could in good conscience charge us for a dirty apartment when it was a literal construction job site immediately after we moved out. As you can see, this list is very long and there are so many more examples of the type of person that Candice is and how she operates but hopefully you get the picture. Just avoid renting from Candice Harding. read more

She is the worst landlord I have ever had to deal with. She refused to fix a lock on the outside door of the building and wanted to replace it with a pass through knob. I had to buy my own lock for the door so she would not put it on. She would make "showings" over 4 hour windows and then not show up or call. We have pets so we always wanted to be there so that the pets were ok. She wasted endless hours of our time and kept our security deposit because her own repair people spilled bleach on the carpet and she forgot.... DO NOT RENT FROM CANDICE HARDING!!!! read more

stayed here during a vacation in the summer of 2018. Clean, updated apartments, within walking distance to the beach.

After renting Candice's apartment, I must say that the apartment was beautifully maintained. One day we had a plumbing problem due to a stoppage and she dispatched a plumber immediately. The same day we reported it, there was a plumber at our door to repair the problem. Candice was easy to work with and if I had a problem with anything, she addressed it and sent her maintenance worker to repair it immediately. The rent was affordable and I appreciated living there. I lived at her West Hollywood Location and the landscaping is also very pretty. There is a gardener that comes weekly to maintain the lawn and clean the grounds. After moving to San Fernando Valley, I now have a landlord who is not easy to deal with. I have to complain several times, in order to get anything fixed. I really do wish more landlords were like Ms. Harding. Hopefully Yelp will publish this review, as I would like others to see that Candice is one Landlord that will keep your living space in excellent condition. read more

My experience in Los Angeles with apartment complexes and landlords has been spotty at best. Often they are unsympathetic to issues that you may be experiencing, making the relationship awkward and sometimes even uncomfortable to continue living in that environment. This has NOT been the case with Mrs. Harding. She has continually supported us and the unit throughout the past few years with quick and gracious responses to any and all of our needs. Her management team is respectful and kind and do a great job when something needs to be taken care of. They are an extension of Mrs. Harding and we have become friends with them over the years. Mrs. Harding is easy to talk with and discuss all issues relating to extensions and improvements. I wish more of my experiences with landlords was as easy and efficient as the one I have with Mrs. Harding. read more

I have lived in west hollywood for over a decade and the one year I spent living in Ms. Harding's property was one of the worst I have had. She made life very difficult for a tenant who was kind, paid on time EVERY MONTH and was respectful of the property. please be cautious when entering into a lease agreement. just warning fellow renters! thanks! read more

I rented from Candice Harding for about two years in Marina Del Rey, and it was a pretty negative experience, particularly towards the end... move out time. During the last month of our lease, one afternoon I came home to find the kitchen completely gutted. No notice was given. Sink gone, stove gone, counter tops and cabinets removed, and a thick layer of dust and grime all over everything. Which we were somehow blamed for, even though it was obviously caused by all the construction. There was still a good three weeks left on our lease, and we by no means had given up possession or keys at this point, and we were still living there. Imagine our frustration coming home to this. And knowing our hands were basically tied since going to court over it would likely cost us more in legal fees and time off work than it would be worth. In fact, I had planned on having my sister and brother over for my last weekend living near the beach, which I had to cancel since the place was already under construction. Candice ridiculously suggested that I keep my plans and have my family come anyway. But without a kitchen and with all the dust, dirt and construction debris everywhere, this was a laughable suggestion. My roommates have a few stories about rude interactions with her, and her general poor/neglectful management practices. I mostly couldn't believe her audacity in gutting our kitchen without permission or notice, rendering it unusable to us, and assuming that since our lease was nearly up, that it was an acceptable thing to do. I'd never rent from her again, no matter how great the apartment is. read more

I feel like I need to express my gratitude. You have been so helpful with everything going on with the unit. Attending to your tenants needs is a high priority for you and can't say thank you enough. read more

I've rented from Candice for over a year and she is a great landlord. The property is well managed and she has been very responsive to any issue that has arisen. The people she employs to maintain the apartments are really great and she has been kind, respectful, and a pleasure to deal with. I especially like that my home has been a little gem of a place in the city, and she has been a pleasure to rent from. I'm only moving because I am leaving the state; if I find myself back in CA, I will look to her first for a possible rental. She cares about her property and her tenants; a rare find in L.A.! read more
