My husband and…read moreI have rented two different apartments during the fall and winter of 2017 and 2018 (after selling our own home) and really loved both rentals. Their many apartments - in different parts of the city - are carefully furnished and extremely well taken care of. We found the other renters all to be considerate, private and quite folks and we felt quickly "at home". All staff has always been efficient and most helpful. The kind owner of the rental company even welcomed us in person to both apartments. We heartily recommend Portland Maine Rentals to people seeking a monthly or seasonal rental in the wonderful city of Portland ME. (Two European-Americans)

My friends and I had a really unpleasant experience with the security officer here. There were five…read moreof us, all women, walking back to a friend's apartment when one of us began having a panic attack. We stopped for a moment in a well-lit area near the building's porch so she could calm down. The security guard came out and asked us to move, which we understood and immediately did -- we stepped onto the public sidewalk in front of the building. A minute later, the same guard approached us again and told us to move again, even though we were no longer on private property. When I politely asked him to give us a minute, he responded that he didn't care about our personal problems. I tried to deescalate by wishing him a good night, but he continued to be rude and dismissive. We were five girls alone at night, and instead of offering help or at least showing some basic human decency, he made us feel unsafe and disrespected. I understand he has a job to protect the building, but his behavior was completely uncalled for. The worst part is that right after forcing us to leave, he went to stand on the same sidewalk to have a smoke break with his girlfriend. If this is the kind of person representing the building, it says a lot about their standards and lack of empathy.

This is the best run apartment complex I've seen in my lifetime. So many people I meet here…read moreplanned it as a temporary stop before they bought another house or moved elsewhere. I, too, planned to stay here only as long as I had a dog because it is VERY dog friendly--then I'd move into the city. Many I've heard say, "I'll leave here feet first. . ." It is a varied age community with social events, if you want to meet new people (happy hours overlook the city lights of Portland each Friday, coffee hours, book club, music jam nights and an interesting speaker series.) The management and maintenance staff are amazing, professional, and really care. The facilities (pool, club house, state of the art fitness center, computer center, movie room) are well kept. The outside landscaping is to beautifully done and kept in perfect condition. It truly is amazing how well they run this great place. I, too, plan only to leave feet first.

Rented a house in Falmouth for August '23 through Labor Day from this agency. It was billed by the…read moreagent, Adam Shapiro, as "the Greenwich of Portland". As it turns out, the house sits right next to a busy parking lot for a beach with dirty water that smells like sewerage at low tide. Cars sit idling in the lot until 3 or 4 in the morning every night; it feels unsafe having them there. The front door lock is very difficult to close and the lock is not solid, offering very little security. The lower floor of the house reeks so badly of dampness and mildew that everyone had to move upstairs; the mildew smell in the bedrooms downstairs is overpowering. When I told Apex about this, they refused to come to the house to get an idea of how badly the moisture has affected that level of the house. The upper level of the house also has a terrible problem with moisture and a mildew smell. Upstairs shower stall smells moldy and damp, towels turn mildewy after 1 use because of the humidity problem in the house. The dishwasher failed to turn on and run the cycle. Apex sent the cleaning person over and she was unable to do anything. They were no help at all, it was just "no, no, no" from them. The oven light stays on no matter what, you have to push it closed forcefully, but then the light just goes back on after a few seconds. The electric window blinds stopped working 1 week into our stay; they had to send a tech over to recharge the motors, which took an hour of my time and attention. I checked out of the house August 23, almost 2 weeks early because I didn't; feel safe there and because the house smelled so bad. The agent, Adam Shapiro, did not reply to any of my texts or calls informing him of this; he just took the money and ran

We extended the contract on the understanding there would be flexibility, so were surprised by a…read morerequest for $ 3350 to terminate at the end of the original 6 month lease. We were surprised as there was no provision for this in the lease nor in Maine law. Another tenant was lined up, Apex tried to block the tenant until we paid $ 3350. This fee included $ 1950 of agents fees (a double dip - Apex would charge this again with respect to the new tenant), a $ 250 credit check on the new tenant and $ 1250 rent shortage. The dispute was inflamed by lengthy late night emails from Chris at Apex. On legal advice we declined to pay the spurious charges as they had no basis in contract nor Maine law. Fortunately, Apex pulled this stunt prior to our last months rent going out hence we remained in control of our money. We paid the rent difference, we paid for cleaning, we left the property in excellent condition. I would recommend to avoid Apex as a landlord or as a renter. If you have to rent from them, don't set up automated rent payments. Don't expect resolution of issues in the property. If you're a landlord, you should think carefully about the losses you could incur if your tenants depart on acrimonious terms due to provocation by your agent. And they charge you 20% for this!
