It has made things frustrating and inconsistent at times but has been more than worth it to get to Stacie, the current manager. In the time she has been here, she has gotten rid of most (if not all) of the "less than desirable" tenants, has regular office hours, is always in the office when she says she will be, is immediately on top of any needed repairs and has improved the entire atmosphere in general. I am proud to tell people where I live now and believe a great deal of that goes to the improvements Stacie and her husband, Jacob have made. I sincerely hope they stay for a long time.

An update on leeland property management....I receive a reply 2 days ago to a negative review I…read morewrote from over 18 months ago. The fact that the business didn't show any concern about what the possible issue was back in 2017, but jumped at the chance to respond with misinformation that is negative about the author of the review speaks volumes in itself. For fact checks, unlike some local property management companies, leeland is not backed by the BBB and has recent negative reviews on there as well.

Leeland is the definition of a slum landlord and a daylight robber. During the six years I lived…read morein a Leeland property, they paid absolutely NO attention to maintaining my apartment unit. When my bathroom had leakages due to their extremely antiquated and dangerous plumbing system, the maintenance worker arrived at my apartment, did not fix the issue, and proceeded to chastise me for not maintaining the bathroom in good order. When I moved into the unit, the A/C unit in the kitchen was filled with cobwebs and the window could not be opened. The poor ventilation, extremely old carpet, and lead paint in the unit exacerbated my allergies, as well as those of my daughter. On the one occasion Leeland actually did attempt to fix something, they forced ME, as a tenant to pay for it. Never mind the fact that this is illegal under tenant laws in all 50 states, but the "fix" was also mediocre at best. Leeland's acts of slum landlordship pale in comparison to the daylight robbery it has the audacity to engage in on a daily basis. Today, I received a bill from this company for over $2,000 in maintenance charges after moving out of my carefully maintained apartment. Some wear and tear in any unit that has been continually occupied for six years is natural, but nowhere does any of the wear and tear in my unit come close to requiring $2,000 to rectify. If Leeland thinks I will go along with their barefaced robbery, they must be living in a la-la-land of a different galaxy. The only response they will get to their extortive bill is a call from my attorney. Ciao.

There is no possible way I can pay $1235 per month in rent when I just lost all forms of income due to no fault of my own. Meanwhile, drug using tenants are charged next to nothing in rent! Ever since Julie Monzingo left her management role this place has gone down hill fast. The current management has no moral compass. If I weren't already being illegally evicted I would be too scared to write this review because current management retaliates with evictions. Take note of reviewers locations. Managment literally enlisted the only tenant they favor to write positive reviews.

If I could have given a zero rating on this I would have…read more My property was managed by Karen Maravilla when she was with Fadness Realty. When she split off and started her own company I went with her because she had always taken good care of my fathers home. Fast forward 10 years, Karen who had once taken exceptional care of my property in my absence (for which she was well compensated) let my property deteriorate to point that it was on the verge of becoming a section 8 qualified property. Year after year over the last 10 the home was commanding lower and lower rents than it had previously. When I asked what was wrong with the property she claimed that it was the economy and rental market not the property that was the problem. This year, after smelling a rat in some repair bills that were paid out of the rent proceeds I made some phone calls. After hearing from many friends in The Dalles that Karen was becoming the local slum lord property manager we decided to make a trip to the Dalles. What I found was heartbreaking. She had allowed the paint on the house to deteriorate to the point where bare wood was showing. The main sewer line to continue to clog to the point that it is now requiring $2100.00 worth of work to resolve and could have been completely fixed years ago had I known about it. Allowed a former tenant to install a permanent fence on the property and then allowed them to take the entire fence with them when they moved leaving the front yard landscaping a mess. She also allowed her friends at ServePro of Hood River to mess up the painting on the inside of the house by touching up the entire first floors eggshell finish paint with semi-gloss paint and then lied about it to my husbands face. If you value your property and are an out of area owner DO NOT trust your investment to this woman. I don't know what has happened to her over the years to degrade her sense of honesty and propriety but her reputation absolute crap and apparently after the treatment of my property its clear why.
