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

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!

Entirely Negative Experience - Caused Significant Loss and Stress…read more We hired this company to manage our property and the experience was almost entirely negative. Their initial revenue estimate was wildly optimistic, overshooting reality by nearly 50%. Their operational model is fundamentally flawed; they rely almost entirely on "vetting" guests instead of conducting sufficient post-stay inspections to check for property damage. When our dining room table was badly burned and they did not catch it, they stated that was to be expected with a short-term rental property. One notable low point was a two-week booking where the guest encountered frozen pipes and left the property. She was entirely refunded for her stay. We were never notified. We only discovered the serious problem a month later when the company did not pay us for that booking. They lost us two weeks of revenue and left our property at risk without our knowledge. We ended up resuming the management of the property ourselves at first opportunity and found it far simpler and more effective despite us living ten time zones away. Revenues went up, peace of mind went up, time spent managing the property hardly changed. If you have a cleaner and a handyman you trust, just go that route. In short, do not use this company. If you must, demand: More realistic revenue estimates, and some sort of penalty on their fees if you do not meet 90% of their revenue estimates. A real post-stay inspection process, likely requiring the same trusted cleaner at the property after each stay. Far greater quality and professionalism at every single point of their service. One final note on how bad their approach is, and how much more customer-centric they need to be: at the end of each stay, they send a message to the guest requesting a positive review. But they do not want a positive review for your property (which is the life blood of a successful short term rental). No, they request a Google review for Great Dwellings. Incredible, basically cheating the property owners they are managing for on every single stay. It also explains how such a poorly run company has such a ridiculous number of positive Google Reviews.

11 October 2024 - I hope the company responds so I can revise this review in the future…read more My relationship with Gordon James *was* great for 12 years! As soon as I planned to sell my investment property and was no longer a revenue source for them, the support and willingness to engage with me disappeared. This has created numerous headaches as I plan to sell my rental property. 1) The company accepted a tenant-cleaned property, but still told me they would be charging the tenant for a move-out cleaning. When the tenant complained about the withheld deposit - the company refuses to acknowledge that they told me *in writing* that the $690 cleaning would be charged to the deposit. Now I owe the tenant another $690. 2) The company mailed the keys and garage door openers to my realtor. The package is lost and was not insured by the company. Now they simply suggest filing a "missing package" request and are not willing to accept responsibility for replacing the items that I entrusted to them. 3) Besides from one phone call, all communication is over email, which is creating delays in resolving these issues, leading the former tenant to threaten legal action against me. The company is not taking ownership of any of the issues that were caused by their miscommunication or negligence. Be careful!
