This review is specific to the Missoula property Orchard Gardens, but Tamarack in Billings also…read morewill not help tenants experiencing issues with the Missoula staff. Update December 2024: DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!!! I stand by my previous review after having rented from them for almost 3 years. Due to the rental market in Missoula, this was the only place we could afford during that time. They do not do maintenance on these apartments when there is a problem, a simple drive around the property and you would see the buildings are in disrepair. Screens are gone or falling off, paint is peeling, exterior window trims are dangling by a single nail. Even the central courtyard looks sketchy. The interior is not much better, we had outstanding maintenance requests that were never repaired from our move-in inspection. We lived there one month shy of three years before we left. In the time we lived there, we went through at least 5 property managers. The office staff was always changing and even though they posted the hours, and significantly reduced them, no one was ever in the office if you needed them. I was told that I would be evicted Dec 2023 because I did not complete my recertification, but it wasn't due until April 2024 and I hadn't been able to schedule a meeting with them for the recertification. I paid my rent on time, drove it to the office each time, which since the office was always closed resulted in placing it in a drop box outside the building even during office hours. They were quick to send letters stating that they would evict you and when you would finally get a hold of them, they would say they didn't know what letter you were referring to and that they weren't pursuing eviction. I had a VA case manager that was helping me and they would say one thing to me and another to her. Finally, she told them to knock it off since she was sent the same paperwork and also was notified when the rent was paid. The mental load and stress they give you was exhausting. When they finally started doing the unit inspections, the person that went with the property manager had said I was violating the law by having a ring doorbell; I had permission for all the modifications made to my unit, none of which were illegal or permanent. The guy then went around telling all my neighbors that I was breaking the law. It was all caught on my video doorbell and baby cameras in my unit. When I brought it up with tamarack, the PM told me it was nothing and that if I wanted I could file a complaint. I had to reach out to Billings to do so and then nothing was done about it. They also violated my privacy when inspecting my unit by opening closets and storage areas that have nothing to do with the wellbeing of the unit. My wardrobe and underwear are none of their business. Because I took such great care of my unit (as told during the inspections when present and on camera when absent), I was subject to extra inspections for them to show the owners and higher-ups that the units were being taken care of. Originally from March 2021: This property management is unorganized, undependable, and incompetent. I applied to the waitlist and waited almost two years for the property I was interested to have an availability. I paid the deposit when I applied and completed all the required paperwork. Two years later, I am notified of an opening, update all the required paperwork promptly, and state that I would like the apartment. They go through "checking my file" multiple times (each time they find something else I need to complete) and call me nearly every day, sometimes in upwards of 5 times in a day. The apartment I am waiting for is in repairs for over 3 months and my applicant file took 4 months to get right before they sent it to compliance. Mind you, all the paperwork was submitted promptly (usually within hours) when it was requested. I asked if my file was complete with the exception of my move voucher and was told yes. I wanted to be sure it would move quickly once I received my voucher since they are time limited. I gave them my voucher and request for tenancy approval the day I received them and it took them a month to return it to the housing authority. I received an email stating I would need to pay my deferred application fee when I moved in, to which I replied with the specific check/date/bank information of the payment I already made for it. Also, I was given a tentative move in date of the first week of the month. So I gave my 30 day notice to my current landlord for the middle of the month. I am now about a week away from my move in date and still haven't even been able to see the apartment, due to repairs. I called and emailed asking if it would be done it time for my move and they haven't returned my call or email. Moving is hard enough, avoid the headache and choose a landlord/property management that values you as a tenant.

I'm giving two stars because the woman that came to the door actually smiled at me considering the fact that I'm homeless, Mexican, German and Chinese, I guess that was a lot for her.

They want "good on paper" people. Not truthfulness. Come here if you want a brutal, hurtful lecture on all the things you've done wrong in life. Bonus points if you can make it through the rejection without crying ... because I couldn't. First, not hearing back from someone's prior landlord does not make it a negative rental experience. Some landlords are just busy or on vacation. We have paid each and every lease break fee we've ever had. Second, I am a stay-at-home mom who gets child support and was able to verify ~20K in savings. You knew before apps we were interested in prepaying a portion of the lease to offset income. The rest of us have jobs or are in the hiring process. You just didn't like them. You should be reported to Fair Housing for your discrimination towards our family situation. I DO NOT have maxed balances. My daughter does. You can think you were on the "right" side of this (and have your relatives counteract our authentic reviews) but as a property manager you are unprofessional and a hypocrite. Your "give me and us a chance" motto is laughable.

Upon application he took a while but then rejected us. We were up front about our employment situations, references, credit, and everything required. We asked for info on why and he gave a lecture to our mother about years past history that had absolutely nothing to do with this rental. On top of that he straight up lied saying that multiple people were unemployed (which is false and the employed persons even provided offer letters and pay rates). Now he is trashing our Google reviews with lies about rental references (which he was unable to contact and blames us about), savings (which he says we didn't have even though we clearly provided photo evidence, he just didn't like), and lies about our credit (which was made PERFECTLY clear from the beginning in both text and in person). He is also asking his relatives to put in false reviews to boost the ratings of his business! That is ridiculous and low for a business that claims excellence to do. I am saddened to see the current state of property management. Take your money and go elsewhere. Probably won't find any other decent property management companies in Billings anyways.
