The property manager tried to move myself and my roommates out of our (3br) apartment (2 months into our lease) into a smaller apartment so they could rent out our apartment to a larger family. When we respectfully declined they threatened to evict us (over false noise complaints) if we didn't comply. When we said okay since we had no other option, it turned out they no longer needed our apartment since the other family backed out and suddenly they no longer needed to "evict" us and never mentioned any noise complaints again. Finally when we moved out after our lease and cleaned the place up, we never got our $2,000 deposit back. We had to take the owners to court twice, pay over $300 in legal fees and wait over a year to finally get our deposit back. The property manager is psychotic, the owners are flat out crooks, and the apartments themselves are infested with cockroaches. Do what ever you can to stay far far away from University Palms.

As a realtor, I rely heavily on dependable vendors to help ensure a smooth process for my clients…read more-- and Virtues Plumbing exceeded expectations. I recently used them for water jetting to clear built-up grease in the piping of a property, and their service was outstanding from start to finish. They were responsive, punctual, and took the time to thoroughly explain the issue and the solution. The team was professional, efficient, and treated the property with great care. They genuinely seemed focused on getting the job done right. It's rare to find a plumbing company that combines skill, transparency, and care at this level. I'll definitely be recommending Virtues Plumbing to clients, colleagues, and anyone needing quality plumbing work they can count on.
