I lived in two apartments rented to me by Ratzlaff properties. Probably the best landlord I've ever had. Very friendly and helpful.

Living Room Property Management

Living Room Property Management

Buckman, Central Eastside, Southeast Portland

I have worked with Living a room for nearly 8 years now, and they have managed two duplex…read moreproperties for me. Since I recently sold both properties, I am in a good position to assess their level of service throughout the process of onboarding, management and ultimately disposition of the property. LR makes it very easy as an owner. They take care of everything quickly, and are responsive to both my needs and more importantly, those of my renters. I had several managers responsible for my properties over the years, and most were very solid, and they handled the transitions from one to another very smoothly. I would like to especially recognize Ash, who was responsible for monitoring and arranging all maintenance on my properties; she is terrific! She was always very responsive and responsible, and answered my queries or made sure they were handled, even when she was on vacation. Moreover, she personally made sure to get things done quickly and to a high standards, both when required by the renters but also to help me get my second property sold. I will miss working with her in particular, and with LR in general. Very solid organization, and I highly recommend them if you need a property manager in Portland.

In response to my earlier 1 star review, Living Room suggested that our problem related to the…read moresecurity deposit. There was that issue, of course, because they made that process difficult. But, the big issues were the handling of their management duties. Here are some examples: They "inspected" the property at least 1x/year (indeed, I recall that paying them to do that was built into our contract with LR) but they did not note any of the multiple lease violations (e.g., three people living there when only one was on lease, furnace filter not changed - ever!), installation of window air conditioners by tenant without notice to owner in violation of law - and the tenants damaged two windows and completely ruined another in the process (which is why law provides that owner be notified so owner can arrange installation). Another example: a lease violation they did note at *every* inspection (e.g., disabling of smoke alarms) were not enforced - a huge insurance violation that would have been disastrous in case of a fire - and the penalty the tenant was to pay was never enforced even though the violation was repeated. LR charged over $100 to replace a refrigerator pan on a refrigerator we were replacing with a plastic pan that was clearly designed for something else because it had an open drain hole in it (!); they issued "normal wear and tear" reports even when tenants used of bathtub for dyeing materials and scribbles with markers on bath enclosure left permanent stains and scribbling (the move-out cleaning helped but did not fully cure the problem, so the tub and enclosure are still faintly stained). They did nothing for a long time about need to replace caulking in bathroom, then charged us for having taken care of that item -- and when we discovered the work had never been done, LR said, oh, too late to take that up with the company doing the work because should have been reported right away. Two issues with that: first, it's up to LR to be sure the work is done; second, it was their in-house maintenance folks who did the work! After we proved was LR who had been paid to do the work, LR sent someone to do the job who did not do anything close to a professional job. LR said tenant reported a roof leak but LR did not check; rather just sent a roofer who came up with a very pricey contract - and to have them get other bids would cost us 10% of the other bid.... Then, it turned out there is no evidence at that the roof was leaking then (and there have been no leaks to date). So, nope, our problem with LR is not about being unhappy with the laws concerning security deposits. Its about frustration with dealing a group of people who always struck us as very nice folks but, at best, are simply too disorganized, and either not knowledgeable about lease terms or do not want to deal with the hassle of ensuring tenants comply with them.

Green Keys respects our space but also has been incredibly helpful for some issues that we have had come up the last month. I appreciate the conistentent and clear communication from both Noelle and Gail who have time and again helped us mitigate any issues in a timely manner. I would recommend Green Keys.

DO NOT RENT FROM THESE GUYS. when I say RUN I mean RUN. Not only is Chloe extremely disrespectful,…read morerude, and just genuinely should NOT be working in any position where she talks to people, but they will literally ignore every single maintenance request, any kind of privacy concerns (like having the owner of the actual property showing up in my backyard looking through my windows at any given time that he wants to) yeah you read that right. They did nothing to keep that from happening either. They just let people show up un announced at any given time so if you have kids deffinitly don't rent from them because youll wake up at 5am to a crane setting roofing on your roof waking up both your kids because they decided that was okay. Again. With zero notice. .They just do what ever they want when ever they want to with ZERO regard for you. They have no respect and then they will also try and keep every single penny that you gave them for a deposit. As it states on their website If you pay a cleaning fee in the beginning you will not be charged again for the cleaning fee at the end of move out (APPARENTLY THATS A LIE) which tbh i fully expected them to try and pull some shady crap so I went ahead and paid a professional company $650 for a move out clean. Everything in that house was spotless and they're still trying to charge me $750 for "excessive dirt" which is funny because that place was literally spotless I have the receipts, pictures, and even video proof. They cannot and will not provide me with pictures of this supposed "excessive dirt" theyalso stated that after a 3 year lease mind you that there was apparently excessive "paint dammage" which i know for a fact is not true because again, pictures, videos that I took before leaving the keys on the counter as I walked out for the last time. They also can't provide picture evidence of this apparent "excessive paint dammage" they then tried to call me and tell methey were willing to give me $700 of my $3200 dollar deposit back instead of the $200 and something they originally stated was the case. Our attorney is putting the case together now and they will be dealing with him shortly. But to save yourself from the extreme headache and stress that they will cause you. Just run the other way. Rent from anyone else. They're hands down theworst managment company I've ever rented from. Im glad to have finally bought a home so I no longer have to deal with places like this. They're just here to rob you. So RUN. Tmg is great though! I had nothing but great experiences with tmg.

Broadway District, Lloyd District, Northeast Portland

Extremely poor communication and no concept of tenant service. I rented an apartment from them for…read morefive years and in that time I consistently saw examples of this company not caring about tenants. First, they left a gaping hole in my living room wall that was created for plumbing work for three months with no sense of urgency to fix it until I told them I would not pay rent until J had an apartment that was in livable condition and stating my water pipes is not livable condition. The shared laundry facilities also experienced recurring issues. Despite regular rent increases over the years, the property remained dated and I saw few meaningful improvements. Before moving out, I proactively reached out to management regarding disposal of several large items and attempted to coordinate a bulk pickup. I understand that leaving property behind can result in additional charges, and I do not dispute that disposal costs may be incurred. My frustration is with the complete lack of communication surrounding the process. At no point was I informed that bulk pickup was not a viable option, that maintenance staff would instead be used for removal, or that the resulting labor and dump fees would exceed $500. Had I been told that bulk pickup could not be arranged or that the anticipated costs would be so significant, I would have made different arrangements myself. Instead, I learned about these charges only after moving out, when I received a bill that exhausted my entire security deposit and left an additional balance due. To be clear, I am not upset that there were costs associated with removing items left behind. What concerns me is the lack of transparency, follow-up, and communication. A reasonable property management company would have explained the available options, communicated any limitations with bulk pickup, and provided an estimate of the likely costs before proceeding. Prospective tenants should ask detailed questions about move-out policies, disposal fees, maintenance response times, and how communication is handled. Based on my experience, you should expect to be proactive and persistent if you want updates or clarity on important issues.

When I quieried as to why a small leak had been able to cause so much damage they stated that these things happen. Be aware that that is their attitude. They never had my gutters cleaned, my neighbor pointed it out to me. The6 did not ensure that the dryer was cleaned properly and as a consequence I had damage to it. They collect the money and that is it.

Russell Property Management is dependable, professional and caring. The owner, Justin, managed our…read morebeloved 100+ year old property in St. Johns for a few years. During that time, he handled tenant inquiries promptly, as well as ensured smooth transitions between tenants. We were overseas landlords and needed that extra level of attentiveness. He was available for us remotely, always making us feel secure. Justin was always willing to share his knowledge and provided us with information to make decisions during very important times. During the pandemic, Justin had multiple suggestions on how we could meet the financial needs of our renters. When we eventually decided to sell our property, we turned to Justin for advice again. Having used other property management companies in the past, we can say that working with Russell Property Management was a wonderful experience and comes highly recommended.

We mentioned all of these to justin but he was unresponsive until it concerned him getting paid. I submitted a maintenance request last year and continuously reached out to Justin about fixing the issues but he didn't re-spond. Then over six months in he tells me I need to submit a maintenance request, when I went online to submit one the one I submitted on July 30 was still there. The refrigerator containers were broken & never fixed, there were things in the dishwasher and was clearly dirty. Several items left over from the previous tenant. Justin reached out to us regarding any issues with payments but didn't respond to any maintenance texts until the last 4 months of our lease. Two smoke detectors are also missing after we informed him. We reached out in the winter regarding issues with the heater and he asked us to submit a maintenance request...what's the point if theres no response. As of today we still have yet to set a date as Justin will want to do things same day or within two days and often times no one is home and we've already coordinated our schedules for the week. It would suck if they charged the previous tenant for these fixes just to leave it as is. I was really excited to live in my dream home but the beauty in the house is simply a facade for the lack of service you'll be receiving. Hopefully the place will be fixed better. The bathrooms do grow black mold so be careful. (Read text messages)

Do not rent from them! They are the hardest people to get a hold of! Good luck in an emergency…read moresituation it will be at least 2-3 business days before you get an email from them, they will not answer the phone. I don't believe they even have anyone in their office or in Portland at all. They are disorganized, the staff do not talk to each other and they are just the WORST property company I've ever had to deal with. The owners of the house I was renting sold the home so we had to move, totally understandable. When I went to pay last months rent what was supposed to be prorated it was full price! I reacted out to them with my concerns and it took them 14 days to get back to me. When they did they said they didn't receive our 30 days notice after they told US we had to move out?? Then he said let me get in touch with my manager, when he got back to us he was like oh yeah you are good to move out. Like duh?? Many more issues just like that! When we finally did move out they still had us registered as a tenant in the renter portal and was showing we owed money after we were no longer lived there! I got scared they would do something nefarious so I documented everything! Also their google reviews are 4.5? Bots for sure Long story short watch out with this property management, they are terrible and disorganized. Better yet find a different place to rent.

I wish I could give this company less than one star. This company is terrible to say the least…read more They over charged me and did not get my place rented at all. DO NOT go with this one.
