Complete lack of urgency to address maintenance issues. Currently I have no hot water, no heat, and…read moreextremely low water pressure in both sinks in my unit. The water issues happened on a Saturday morning. There is no emergency maintenance line (though capstone will tell you it is an emergency line), just an offsite call center available after hours. It is not easy to find the number to call for this call center and once I did, it still took over 45 mins just get a maintenance request submitted (due to excessively slow responses on their end). The call center is unable to tell you when you will hear from capstone or a vendor assigned to the problem. I did end up speaking to my property manager (Janelle, mentioning her by name to counter the positive review she has below mine), who told me I'd have to "get creative" (her exact words) over the weekend in order to bathe for work, do dishes, etc.. I wonder how long she personally would be willing to "get creative" and tolerate no water pressure or hot water at her own home? The heat in my unit has not been functional for at least 2 weeks. The owner of the property didn't like what the first vendor had to say so then they sent a second vendor out over a week later. This has forced me to rearrange my personal schedule to be home at inconvenient times because the owners don't want to pay for whatever repairs were recommended. How many second opinions are they going to put me through before they do something? Who knows. Sure this is Phoenix and I don't have any kids or elders to keep warm at night, but that's not the point (and I get the vibe the urgency level would be no different even then). Regardless, how is it acceptable for them to take weeks to deal with broken heating and put me through dealing with multiple vendors and them not being willing to pay for an emergency plumber to fix my water over the weekend? What if this was a broken AC in the middle of summer? Would the response be the same? They only care about making money and saving money for the property owners, they have zero concern for the tenants. Functional water (including hot water and water pressure) and heat are basic requirements for making a property habitable per AZ law. I currently have neither. Unfortunately, AZ heavily favors landlords over renters when it comes to the law so I likely have no legal recourse (and I'm sure Capstone banks on this because they know they have the upper hand), but you can bet I will be looking into it and at minimum posting reviews wherever I can. Prior issues: 1. I've reported a nasty odor from the shower drain which they have repeatedly ignored. They did send somebody out once to fix the broken toilet and told him to "just make a note" about the shower drain issue but to not actually do anything about it. Management then cancelled the maintenance requests I had placed on the portal 2. They will force you to submit to a yearly "walk through" to allow a third party to come into your home and take multiple photos of every room. This is invasive and ridiculous and NOT standard in the industry 3. They ignore requests that they don't want to answer. At my unit, the homeowner pays the utility bills directly and the amount is pushed through in the portal for me to pay. When I have asked to actually see any of these bills I am being charged for, Capstone ignores me. The unit has what appears to be the first digital thermostat ever created - I offered to have a smart thermostat installed, at my cost, through a vendor of the owners' choice. Ignored. 4. They will charge you $50/month for access to their online portal and for bimonthly air filter changes. You will have to let somebody come in and change the filters for you, they will not allow you to change them on your own or they will charge you (when I viewed the property prior to signing the lease I was told by the agent at the viewing that I could change my own air filters - he was wrong). You will also be charged a fee for paying your rent online through the portal (that they are already charging you to be able to access). Avoid this company at all costs, at least as a tenant. If you are a sheisty property owner who doesn't give a crap about your tenants, this may be the group for you. After selling my home and moving into a rental while I search for my next home and/or consider a move out of state, I was extremely leery of going through a management company. Capstone has firmly confirmed that my reservations were justified. It was a huge mistake and I urge you to not make the same one

So they had an answer waiting for me I just wasn't important enough to call back. There are planning to leave me without Gas for over a week meaning I have no heat in the lows of 45 degree weather, can't do any laundry, can't cook any food, don't have any hot water. This is how they will leave you if you rent from them. Save yourself the trouble and find literally any other company. I've since asked for a rent reduction for the days I won't be able to live in the home, but as usual like every other time I call or email, I have no gotten a response.

We've lived in a PRS managed property for just one year. The house was/is the cutest! We've loved…read moreliving here and have taken care of the home as if we owned it. Unfortunately, the actual homeowners decided they wanted their house back after only one year, so we are now scrambling to find another place to live in an economy that is not friendly to the renter. Hopefully, when PRS sees this 5-star review, they'll find a way to give us a good rental reference that recognizes an entire year of on-time, if not early, rent payments (and, to be honest, they were mostly early). Because twice now, we've been turned down for houses that were pretty much a lock, until they reached out to PRS for a rental reference. I mean, you'd think my husband had posted a single star review or something! If my husband had done something like that, I would've deleted it as soon as I found out and posted a 5-star review myself....hey! So, just to be clear, PRS IS THE GREATEST! From a tenant's standpoint, you couldn't ask for a more responsive property manager when it comes to maintenance issues or repairs! Yazmin in their office is super-nice & that's the truth!

I wanted to share my concerns regarding my experience since PRS assumed management of my lease…read more For the past several years, I worked with the previous property management company and had a positive experience. Unfortunately, since PRS took over, my experience has been significantly different. One of my primary concerns is the number of fees that have been assessed without clear communication in advance regarding what those fees are or when they may apply. Greater transparency would help tenants better understand their financial obligations and avoid unnecessary confusion. Additionally, I have found communication to be very disappointing. On multiple occasions, I have called and requested to speak with someone or asked for a return call, but my messages have gone unanswered. Throughout my interactions with various members of your team, I have consistently experienced poor communication, a lack of follow-up, and little accountability. I believe customer service is a critical part of property management, and unfortunately, my experience has fallen well below the level of professionalism I would expect. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that improvements can be made to communication, responsiveness, and transparency for both current and future residents. Thank you for your time and attention to these concerns.

Brandon Boxrud at Apartment Hunters managed my rental townhouse in Chandler for more than 10 years…read morewhile I lived out of state. It can be frustrating and worrisome to be a property owner when you aren't anywhere nearby, but I had total trust in Brandon to take care of things. He led a few renovation projects for me and was always able to get good tenants in quickly. When it came time for me to sell the place recently, I turned to Brandon, who is also a real estate agent. He again managed some reno projects to freshen up the place for sale -- all without me having to come to AZ. The townhouse sold within a week of it going on the market at a very good price, better than I'd hoped. I had to pay a commission for Brandon's services as a real estate agent and an additional commission to Apartment Hunters, since he was working in that capacity. It was a little pricey but I felt it was well worth it for me to have peace of mind and not have to worry about doing any of the prep work myself. I'd recommend Brandon to anyone in the Phoenix/East Valley area needing property management services or real estate services.

I obtained Fort Lowell Realty in 2021 to manage my duplex. In the beginning, I had responsive and…read morecommunicative property managers. However, from 2021 to 2025 they went through four different managers. I would have one person, everything would seem to be going well and then abruptly they'd tell me someone else was being assigned. In 2025, I was again assigned a new manager, Andrea R. and communication significantly declined in comparison to other property managers I had been assigned. Emails would often go unanswered for long periods of time. Everything fell apart during a tenant move-out at the end of 2025. Before the tenant moved out, I provided the original lease and deposit records to Andrea so there would be no confusion. During the scheduled move-out, the assigned manager was unavailable, and the person who performed the move-out inspection took not one photo. I had to step in myself after tenant departure to take move-out condition photos because Fort Lowell staff didn't do it. The departing tenant was instructed to leave the keys unsecured in the mailbox after 5:30pm, which was very concerning because they didn't set up a lockbox for the tenant to securely leave the keys after the inspection. In addition to all of this, they issued a security deposit refund using rents from another unit to the tenant before fully reviewing damages. Keep in mind I held the deposits, but they did not consult me or provide me with the breakdown and obtain my authorization before refunding the money that I should have provided from the deposit account not use rents from another unit's tenant. To make matters completely insanely worse, the refund included money that had already been returned years earlier to a prior co-tenant! After I began formally requesting proper documentation and correction of the accounting, communication became worse. I sent a written notice under the contract giving them nearly a month to fix the issues. The problems were not fully corrected. After I terminated the agreement with proper 30-day notice, communication completely stopped, they did not follow up with me with requested documentation and stopped responding to my other unit's tenant they were still managing in this timeframe. I have still not received the complete documentation or the remaining funds in my owner account. I also later discovered that another tenant had gone six months without a properly executed lease renewal, and I was never informed. As a landlord, you need clear communication, accurate accounting, and proper handling of deposits. In my experience, those basic protections were not consistently in place. In addition, Fort Lowell's team is extremely unprofessional, completely ignoring clients, being condescending, and just displaying levels of incompetence I didn't know could exist. If you're a property owner, I would not recommend you use Fort Lowell. In fact, RUN!

I don't even know where to start, other than this has been the absolute worst experience I've ever…read moreencountered with renting a place. I've never written a negative review before, but this one is well deserved. We initially secured the condo via a signed contract back in 03/25 directly with the landlords after we toured the property and were assured the place would be fully furnished when we moved in on 01/12/2026. A few days before we were due to travel to AZ, I got a call from a property manager (Andrea Robidoux) who works for Fort Lowell telling us that she would managing the lease. I didn't think much of it at,the time, but right off the start, I had to pay a $50 background check fee that I didn't plan on given that I already had a signed contract, then I had to correct several items in the lease agreement including the correct exit date of 04/12/26, which I was told (by Andrea) that I had to accept 04/30/26 (even tho the original contract clearly states 04/12/26) and that any remaining days not used would be refunded but only to find out AFTER the fact (when I called Fort Lowell directly) that I would held liable for the entire month of April even if I gave a 30 day notice and left on the 12th of April. The real problems started when we met Andrea at the property on the scheduled move-in date. That's when we realized that this was Andrea's first time actually seeing the condo (we know this because she told us so and we had to direct her by phone where to go when she arrived at the complex). When we all walked into the condo, there was a VERY nasty odor (more of a stench) that can be smelled before you even enter the front door (it was so bad that Andrea had an asthma attack and had to go out to the balcony for some fresh air to finally breath normally). Then we saw all the obvious issues such as carpet stains, the dirt everywhere, the dust accumulation on all the windows/blinds, ceiling fans, fixtures, etc.. After Andrea left (without going over anything in the condo and without providing any documentation such as an emergency contact list, association Bylaws, move-in check list, etc.), we began to notice many more issues such as Clothes dryer not working properly (exhaust vent blocked), refrigerator ice maker not working, dishwasher drawer broken, fireplace not working, HVAC making LOUD noises and not working properly, the only couch was heavily stained from grease/dirt, tiles in both showers were stained black from grease/dirt, leaking kitchen faucet, cracked bathroom sink, stains and hair on bed headboard, broken vacuum cleaner, only 1 working smoke detector and none in the bedrooms (against code), anything that can be touched in the kitchen was sticky & very greasy, major dirt under all the beds & around night stands, trash in the garage, etc... Additionally, there were many missing essentials such as absolutely no started toilet paper, napkins, cleaning supplies, no complete sets of dishes/glasses, no bathroom waste baskets, no salt/pepper shakers, no broom/dust pan, no mop/pail, visible stains on some of the bed sheets and all pillows had stains and nasty odor, no mattress protectors or mattress pads or pillow protectors (disgusting and against code), no working vacuum, etc.. We contacted Andrea and she advised us and even encouraged us to go and purchase what ever we needed that was missing including a vacuum and assured us that we would reimbursed so we purchased only the necessities and we spent the next 4 days cleaning the place only to be told afterwards that we will NOT be reimbursed for the $200 vacuum and the response I got from Andrea was "it's not my vacuum". We have caught Andrea on many occasions either blatantly lying to us or she is REALLY forgetful because she's managing so many properties and can't keep track (I believe it's it a little of both scenarios) I even scheduled a meeting with Andrea and the landlords to review all the issues and request that they refund the cost of the vacuum, remove the $350 cleaning fee since we actually did most of the cleaning and provide a small reasonable reduction of the monthly rent because the property was not what was originally agreed upon, but they refused all of it. There were many, many more issues not mentioned here (all fully documented), but bottom line, Andrea (and Fort Lowell Management) didn't do diligence by verifying condition of condo prior to accepting to manage this property which resulted in us dealing with major issues in what was supposed to be our vacation time. Stay as far away from this company and specifically Andrea Robidoux. Additionally stay away from any properties owned by WILLOUGHBY INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, LLC (landlords).

Overall, I would give them a four out of five stars. We ended up renting our property while we were…read morestill living in another state. It was really nice to be able to use their website and go through property properties and then also use the 3-D option for viewing inside of the property. What was nice is they were really helpful about allowing us to have someone come view the home. Online application is seamless. We got an answer on our application within a day. During the whole process, we mostly dealt with Tara. Tara was amazing and always responded really quickly. All in all, no complaints about the application and getting out keys. We were able to easily pick up our keys and paperwork pertaining to the home when it was convenient for us. The reason for the 4 stars is I do feel like this property management company has a lot of fees. Like the ongoing $49 a month benefits package that no one probably wants. If I understand it correctly I won't be able to use the payment portal if so cancel this $49 per month fee. That seems ridiculous. On top of application fees, non refundable fees and the fee they likely get from the home owner, this seems to be a money grab. Will say for an out of state rental process this was very easy. I appreciated that they also gave us 5 days to do the walk through and documentation regarding rental condition.

I'm not saying there shouldn't have been any money deducted, but I don't feel like we left the home in that horrible of shape. We were there for 3+ years. You hardly heard from us. We were good renters. We even paid rent each month in full amount even though we weren't working due to Covid. We had no issues with anything about the house or BCH. We cleaned the carpets yearly. We went above and beyond to keep the house our home. The reason we decided to leave is to downsize and to give my daughter a backyard. I feel like since we gave our 30 day notice, we weren't important to you at all. Our refrigerator went out on a Saturday, sent a maintenance issue that night, and did not get a response til Monday afternoon. Then finally someone came out on Wednesday stating we need a new fridge ( like no crap). I feel like we weren't a priority and getting us a fridge was not a priority to you at all. I feel like you just shrugged it off because we were leaving. We also lost $250 of food because of your lack of urgency. I don't feel like as renters or people we deserved to be treated that way. To be honest this has been eating at me for awhile now. Yes..... seeing the amount of refund was a shock to me and the amount provoked me to write this email, but as I am writing this, I am more pissed off about how we were treated at the end of the month than anything else.
