    May have been a competent company at one point, but certainly no longer. In the 18 months we…read moreworked with Ed, his company mismanaged the lead inspection process (costing us thousands), mistakenly charged us for maintenance and repair that was the tenant's responsibility, failed to coordinate with our HVAC company on maintenance and payment, failed to remit monthly payment for the correct amount due, and failed to coordinate and communicate with me regarding the renewal process for the tenants. I would avoid.

    I've been using Edward as a property manager since July 2020 (i've used 4 different firms over the…read morepast 15 years). I found him after interviewing about 9 firms, and then went with him after speaking with 5 of his references that he provided. He was very transparent when I first connected him and he would quickly answer questions about his management style, company and staffing profile. Perhaps the worst part about Edward is that its hard to find anything negative about him (LOL). He's just the most even keeled person I've ever dealt with... He deals with everything in a calm, paced manner. He's definitely not pushy, and treats everyone with respect, and has the gray matter to anticipate and work through problems before embers turn into flames (and we've had many embers thrown at us over the years, so he's battle tested at this stage in my eyes). One example: a few years back, the unit he was managing for us had a heating issue. The parts were on back order (early pandemic related shortage), and without asking, he went through multiple hoops to try to procure the parts needed, and then checked the weather report and because of an upcoming temperature drop he went ahead and provided backup heating device to the tenant to head-off a potential heating emergency before it happens. Lets roll the clock forward: While your mileage may vary, for me, I have had several documented occasions when I sent him an email near midnight and he responds within 3 or 4 minutes afterwards. I think one time I sent him an email way later than that which was meant for the next day, and he immediately responded. IIRC, I scolded him slightly for not prioritizing sleep over a low priority email from me LOL... but that's just how he's wired. His demeanor also extends to how he hires his staff. Again, the people he's brought on seem very even keeled and are active listeners. Also, it appears he's scaling his company in a methodical fashion. When I first spoke to him 5 years ago, I think he had about 200 properties they were managing. I know he's grown beyond this, but I haven't felt any difference in the orchestration of the work. This was a huge problem for me with a previous firm where as they grew, the wheels came off. Also, with his being a registered agent in Maryland, I'm already set on using him if we hit the market for anything. He's also served as an honest sounding board a few times we considered moving on something.

    As a prospective renter, my experience was very poor. The man who showed me the apartment I was…read moreinterested in was very nice, but didn't know much about the property or me (he was waiting in a different unit than the one I wanted to see because he got mixed up). That would have been fine. But what really annoyed me was the application process. The management is not familiar with more modern ways to verify employment and income (such as third party service) and insisted on unredacted pay stubs - which is much less secure. The interaction as we went back and forth was rude and reminded me of scammers trying to get one to divulge information urgently (because so many people are interested in the apartment!) at the cost of better judgement. In trying to get more information from me they cited their "policies" but being unable to articulate why their policy insists on having the information I didn't want to share (like my pre-tax deductions) This conversation was not with some mid-level employee but what seemed to be the owner. I should hope he could articulate the reasoning behind his own policy! To me, this company clearly orients themselves to customer service of property owners, not renters. Which fair enough, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. To the reader/renter: Don't let these people bully you!

    I am very excited to lease with Rent the District. My roommates and I found a beautiful home on…read moretheir site, and from my very first correspondence with Hanna via phone, the communication has been flawless. Prompt responses to emails, quick answers to phone calls, transparent updates throughout the process, and even reassurances to call you back if they are tied up at the moment (and they actually call back as soon as they can!) Since my roommates and I are all out of town at the moment, and unable to tour the property in person prior to signing the lease agreement, Hanna assured me that her assistant Johnny would send me a video tour the following day. And sure enough, the next day - Johnny had a detailed video tour of the home in my inbox. Any question I had about the property, Johnny was able to answer. We so look forward to working with Hanna and her team during the duration of our lease agreement. If the last week is any indication of how our experiences will be as Rent the District tenants, I very much look forward to staying at this property. Hanna and Johnny were both very friendly, and professional. I will recommend Rent the District to any of my friends who look to rent or have property management services in DC. Thank you again!

    We just moved into a new rental through Noahs' and have had a positive experience so far. The…read moreleasing agent we worked with, Quincy, was quick to send us our paperwork and reply to any questions we had. They were also nice enough to let us pick up our keys the evening before our move-in date, which made the move the next morning much easier and less stressful for us. Everybody we dealt with was friendly. Although we obviously haven't gone through the move-out process yet, this management company is like the many others we have dealt with in the past - it's always expected that you take careful notes of any damage or wear-and-tear on your property so that you aren't responsible for it at move-out, and this company allows you 15 days to turn in your notes which is longer than most, and I really appreciated the extra time. Also, it is made clear that the tenant is responsible to have the carpets professionally cleaned (this might just be if you have pets though) and to provide a receipt upon move-out, or else you will be charged for the cleaning. If you don't like the terms, don't agree to them, but I don't think it's fair to hold a common practice against the company like many other reviews here do. The only negative we experienced, which is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, was the following situation: We agreed on a move-in date, but were then told that it was a little bit earlier than the owner had intended and so we would have to be okay with moving into the apartment without it being freshly painted. We knew the previous renters, who had pets, and knew the apartment wasn't repainted when they moved in years ago (through no fault of the company, the renters asked it not be done it for the sake of time so they could get in quicker) so we said we would take a later move-in date and that we preferred the property to be freshly painted given the circumstances. We got a response saying that the paperwork would have to be redrawn up since we hadn't specifically requested from the start that we wanted the apartment repainted. The lease got updated to say it would be repainted as deemed necessary, and parts of the apartment were repainted, but not the entire thing. Not a big deal, but any place I've been in the past has always included an automatic repaint when there are pets from the previous owners. So, my suggestion would be to specifically request your place be repainted if you think it needs it, because it might not automatically happen. I will update my review upon move-out, but I expect that it will be like any other rental management company based on the lease and the other reviews here. All of the company's expectations are clearly communicated, and they frequently encourage you to contact them if you have any questions or concerns. Overall, I wouldn't make a judgment to not use this company based on their Yelp rating, we have had a positive experience working with their office.

    I never write reviews but I felt compelled to write this one today after photos of this townhome we…read morelived in Gaithersburg, MD came up on my camera roll after 6 years. Also because I regret not taking more drastic actions against them, including potential legal action, for their negligence and lack of care to our health and safety while we lived there. My family and I rented a townhome that was managed by Noah's from 2017-2021 and it was the worst rental experience I have ever had. I reported mold, dust, water damage, and pest control issues several times over the years we lived there. While they would send out a handyman, they expected him to fix everything even if he did not have expertise. And there was a general lack of urgency, responsiveness, and care to our issues. The previous tenants or owners left the home passable but it was clear when we moved in there was a lack of maintenance (e.g. old carpet, appliances, dusty vents, deck unable to pass City Inspection multiple times, just to name a few). The backyard area was over grown and they left multiple large items in the garage. When we moved out, with the house in that same condition, Noah's took money out of our deposit to move items in the garage that were not ours and to do landscaping when it was not landscaped to begin with (and this was all reported to them during our initial walkthrough, but they expected us to pick up the bill at move out). At the time, I just let it go (remorsefully) and tried to move on. The issues culminated in 2020, as I mentioned to them that the ceiling had mold spots, water spots, and that there was seam in the main bedroom that looked like it was coming apart. The answer from Noah's was that it was just a "settlement crack." The handyman painted over some of the mold and water spots but never treated the underlying water damage. Snippets from our email exchanges: Me: In the master bedroom, a long crack is starting to develop in the ceiling. We just noticed this today. (I included the attached photos) Noah's: The crack you are seeing in the ceiling is a settlement crack, there really isn't any concern unless for some reason you see it getting larger or think something other than settlement is causing it but from the look of it that's what it appears to be. Me: Regarding the ceiling, we did notice a smaller crack a while ago. We did some research and saw that it was probably a settlement crack. But the larger crack appeared overnight, the night before last, and upon further research appears to potentially be a cracking/falling ceiling seam and/or drywall tape. We are by no means experts, so just wanted to bring this to your attention since it did get larger. If you think the best course of action is to wait and see, we can do that. Please advise. Noah's: Yes, please monitor the crack, you probably don't want the contractor to repair if we can avoid it due to COVID and the mess that will be made to correct it. Well the "settlement crack" led to the ceiling collapsing, thankfully no one was in the bedroom at the time. We asked for Noah's to help us clean and pay for an air purifier (I offered to send photos of the damage) and Noah's response was: "Thank you for your feedback. You don't need to send me pictures, however, you will want to contact your renters insurance company to make a claim on anything that was damaged." They never offered to help us with anything or to make sure that we were healthy and safe even though there were insulation particles all over the room. They put all the burden on us. To me it was just another drastic occurrence in an otherwise lack of care for the health and safety of their tenants. We moved out as soon as our lease was up. I am not expecting a response, nor do I need one. I just felt like I never got any closure from this issue that led to so much angst and stress, and this review is all I could do. I hope it can help someone else.

    Professional staff, highly recommended. Aaron purchased and managed three townhomes for me since…read more2021. His company has found me quality tenants and very responsive when it comes to maintainence, renewal, dealing with HOA and handling tenants. I only have one or two emails exchange with them during annual renewal. I love it that way.

    We rented a unit in Parkfairfax managed by this property management company and their "property…read moremanagement" was a disaster. I experienced constant flooding and sewage leaking from the kitchen sinks (yep, 2 sinks), giant sized insects invading our space, decaying floor boards from water damage, 3 years of uninterrupted mold and mildew, the need for a dehumidifier requiring 4 buckets of water to be dumped daily, and the last stray was a bathroom ceiling leaks flooding the unit requiring a 1 month stay in the hotel paid for by my insurance and I still had to pay the rent for my unit. During those 3 years, I suffered terribly from respiratory problems for the first time in my life. No empathy shown by the leasing agent or landlord for the major and myriad inconveniences. Upon returning to the unit in addition to the floor repairs they used substandard contractors to paint the walls. During my stay at the hotel (on my insurance's dime, mind you despite paying the full month's rent DURING it's renovation) I was not notified that the walls would be painted until AFTER the work was done, nor was my artwork removed from the walls prior to painting. The substandard painters merely painted around my artwork. Essentially their substandard painting contractors sealed the damage free adhesive to the walls with the paint making the artwork impossible to remove without damaging the wall. Moreover, the substandard contractors also painted over the back door sealing it shut. Upon move-out, the property management company wanted to penalize me for the damage caused by their own substandard painters shoddy work, since there're still holding on to my security deposit. Avoid renting through this "property management" company at all costs
