UPDATE: These people are not only in violation of the lease terms for the below & much more, they can now add breach of contract for attempting to impose illegal fees, change terms of lease that has been in place for 5 years. DO NOT rent property from these people. UPDATE: I wonder who is posting all of the "good" reviews? It certainly can't be any actual tenants because I don't think there would be any. To the company & its 'bots', why not spend a bit more time actually doing your job instead of playing with your reviews. And no. I do not wish to call and discuss because there is no point. You consistently ignore all of the written requests that are sent. Why would we waste more time on the phone? If you want to see some actual tenant reviews, check them out on Yelp! Possibly the worst Landlord/Owner ever. If you want a living space free from harrassment & neglect, then stay far away from their properties if possible. before they took over my building had no complaints. Everything was fine until they took over. Then it all went to poo - I mean that literally, sadly. I don't want to say too much more due to legal proceedings. Be warned! Slumlords! read more

I rented an apartment at 2965 Waverly Drive. I had to contact them multiple times to inquire about my deposit and later demand it back. They ended up returning a portion of my deposit, deducted $650 for cleaning fees and paint touch ups. I reached out to them and they refused to return my complete deposit. I filed a small claims suit, they reached out to settle out of court if I signed a Release of Liability (releasing them and their unborn children, everyone they do business with for all causes, known an unknown), I declined and went to court. At court their representative showed up to settle with my check for $650. The only thing I would do different is sue for more upfront because their strategy is to waste peoples time and they rely on most people not filing a small claims suit and forfeiting their deposit money. See the photos of how I left the apartment. The only damage was a 3'x4' section on a wall from removing a white board. If you're going to rent from them make sure you document everything. Also look up Ness Property Management. read more

After purchasing the apartment building my wife and I lived in, Taylor Equities brought the building into the 21st century. They did a great job improving the property, not the least of which was to install laundry washers and dryers in each unit. We no longer had to have quarters on hand to do the laundry. This property was managed by Eddie G. who brought a welcome professionalism to our tenancy. Eddie communicated well with us and responded in a timely manner to our needs. He made the previous management company pale in comparison. read more

I have nothing but GREAT WORDS to say about TAYLOR EQUITIES! First off all the owner and all the employees are all very professional when dealing with vendors and clients. They have trained all the field representatives very well. I had the opportunity to do a walk through for one of there properties and I noticed management customer service was above and beyond. They know how to get the job done right. If your looking for some property management I highly recommend TAYLOR EQUITIES! read more

Highly recommend the new property owners for our apartment I live at. They are more then great! They added new AC units and heaters which we needed badly. Thank god Taylor Equities stepped in. They even remodeled our kitchens! Very satisfied with Taylor Equities! read more

Do not rent from Taylor equities. When they feel like it they will find any reason to evict you I got evicted for getting into a phone argument with my boyfriend. I was given three days to vacate with no extra days to get out I had to leave half of my things behind and am now homeless. The one site manager is a nightmare at 3993 Inglewood. On several occasions she would walk past my apartment and scream asshole at me. Not to mention she wakes everyone up at 4am daily to let her three dogs out who bark. They will ignore your phone calls. I went 6 months with no heat no water pressure and a broken garbage disposal. If I could leave zero stars I would. If you want to end up evicted this is a great place for you. Stay far away from these people they do not care about their Tenants. They have also tried to evict my neighbors but lose in court every time because they are wrongfully evicting people! I also had a stalker while living here and had to call police several times. Police could do nothing because Taylor equities did not post a no trespassing sign. All the gates are left open so the property is not secure. I also had my car broken into here and they didn't ever work with police to get them the video footage. I still have detectives calling me months later asking why Taylor equities has not submitted footage. Probably because it had something to do with them. And let's be honest they won't pick up their phones for anyone 3993 Inglewood is a nightmare. read more

Steven Taylor is legit the worst landlord/developer around! Will con you into purchasing/renting a place that looks good on the outside but is a complete lemon. Once you discover your issues he will berate you and dismiss huge issues. Such as leaks that will ruin all your property, shotty workmanship,terrible electrical, you name it it will be a huge problem. You will bleed money dealing with him. The positive reviews on here are clearly done by friends/family. An old review of mine was recently flagged and removed. Clearly trying to hide his bad reputation. Read thoroughly before even considering having this monster enter your life. read more

Highly recommend this property management company to anyone searching for honest, reliable, very professional associates who actually really cares about there tenants! read more

This is great company that has a caring landlord and accommodates people with disabilities like myself. It was my first time renting and the landlord and his team members made my experience very easy. If I needed any maintenance request it was done within 48 hours. The building was kept clean by custodians and had biweekly gardener. The leasing agent Austin was also great and helped find a home for my support dog and myself when I was about to be homeless. Taylor Equities and staff help me get the help I need. Rick the office manager was helpful when I needed handicap equipment installed. No words could express my great full graduate. lol read more

Taylor Equities management is the WORST I have EVER experienced. Here's a list: 1. Carpets are sopping wet during this storm, not from the windows but in the middle of the living room; SOPPING. 2. Trash is DISGUSTING; 95% of the time the trash is spewed all over the ground in the sub-parking garage. 3. The elevator is routinely in repair 4. Some tenants are OBLIVIOUS of others like, watering their plants above the entrance way making the ground and steps slippery for others (for years now) without ANY acknowledgment, just righteous indignation with a smirk. 5. Manager of building is "nice" but NEVER follows through with ANYTHING. 6. Flooding in the garage when raining, and also at times from bad pipes. 7. Trash chute OFTEN gets plugged from 2nd and 3rd floor tenants putting too large of an item(s) into the chute not caring of others in the building, namely the first floor, making the elderly have to carry heavy trash to the garage because the trash chute CANNOT open. This management is unethical. read more

I went the other day to check out one of there properties and I was impressed how this management company really upgraded its property in LA. The representative who showed me around was very helpful in many ways. Taylor Equities are definitely a five star management company . read more

So I been looking for some rental properties and Taylor Equities has made this process a lot easier for me. I've seen a few of there properties and they have something for everyone. I think I like there location in LA. There on sight manager Niketta was very helpful. She was able to answer all my questions and give more information that I requested. Overall my tome looking for a rental property has been smooth since I have Taylor Equities helping me out. Thanks to all read more

My apartment is managed by Taylor Equities and they have been very helpful!! They just helped with remodeling our kitchen and did an amazing job. Super helpful and polite! read more

I really cannot think of a worst land lord... they have zero concern for their tenants. They have no problem collecting rent, but any requests for simple repairs take for ever. And they give an attitude when you follow up on their lack of responsiveness. Rent is not cheap and service is subpar many any standard. It's as if they're doing you a favor for fixing things on their own property. Really a$$w#oles read more

I cannot recommend them less. I lived at 827 s Wilton for 2 years and and I'm kicking myself for staying too long. Formerly Ness Management (the name change may have had to do with Ness' reputation, which is a yelp away if you'd like to see that hot mess). When I moved in the building was slightly refurbished and my apartment was completely renovated, which was great. Until the roaches showed up and never left. Then, gradually the building began to fall apart. Someone who smokes in the building would trigger the elevator sensor and shut it down. The new hall Carpets began to get hideously stained. The front door did not shut all of the way, allowing for anyone to enter and packages to be stolen (they were). My bike locked in the garage was stolen. After I complained enough they somewhat fixed they door, but in the process knocked the call-up buzzer system offline, never to work again. At one point somebody was found roaming the building or possibly living in the garage. A Flood in the main lobby turned the rug there to a stained mess with mold after it dried off a few days later. And then would flood again. The laundry room was never locked even though everyone had keys. Often the dumpster would have half of its contents strewn all over the garage. I've left and just gotten my security deposit minus $350 to re paint the small apartment (really?) and 200 more to clean it, after I had spotlessly cleaned the place when leaving, down on my hands and knees in the bathroom, sweeping and mopping the floors. There was one woman at the office who was very sympathetic and tried to help me. And Amy, who rented me the place is a really amazing person. My onsite manager was a lovely woman but her power was greatly limited. To sum it up, the company is not one I can recommend renting from. I frequently write favorable reviews on yelp and am not here for vindication. I genuinely hope that people avoid the same mistake I made by taking a place with them. read more

Do not rent from Taylor Equities, they do not have your best interest at heart, they are a very sharp polish business that only works to build their business in owning properties and gain leverage for future endeavors. They recently bought a property and are renovating to raise the rents beyond what the current tenants can affords and will force them out in time. read more

Amazing experience working with this company so far :) Very happy with the quick response rate and the friendly nature of everyone that has helped us settle into our new home! Thank you! The manager of my building Ray, Always responds promptly and has been available any time we reached out for help. As a tenant, Taylor Equities will treat you as a priority! Unlike a lot of other management companies in LA. So Thank you! :) Very happy read more

I have been working with Taylor Equities for several years now and have had several opportunities to view the renovated units we worked on together. I'm always impressed with the level of detail and design that go into each project. The finished product is unparalleled!! Its always a pleasure to work with their team! read more

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY! I have faced what I consider ongoing harassment from this property since they have taken ownership of my building. They have unlawfully evicted tenants and create an terrible environment for the remainder until they leave.! This includes-no water, no AC and slow repairs in apts where children live. I was without central air and heat for over one week. I had to make several calls and emails to get them to drop off a portable window unit when it was over 90 degrees in my apartment. The HVAC man told me I needed a new unit altogether and Taylor Equities will not approve this. They keep replacing parts, only to have it break down every time I need it. I have a small baby and am a single mom and they take advantage of that. one of their workers blocked my garage making it so I couldn't back out. when I asked her to Move she tried to break into my car with me in it and spit on my car. Truth be told I am scared to post this review, fearing that more "coincidental" air conditioning outages or worse are in store for me and my baby. read more

Thanks so much to Eddie and Taylor Equities! When they took over management of our building, I was worried that my details as a tenant would get lost in the shuffle because I was planning on moving out and had been there for years with the prior management company. Eddie made sure to stay in contact with me through the whole process and even made sure that I properly got my security deposit back. Appreciate them so much! Thank you, Eddie & Taylor Equities!! read more

I called Taylor Equities and I highly recommend them! They had great customer service and I got my kitchen recently remodeled by them and they did amazing. 10/10 recommend. I called them and they walked me through the whole process perfectly. read more

Taylor Equity took over the property from a horrible management company and have really been trying their best to repair the damage that was done. Eddie has been great in trying to resolve and repair all the issues! Thank you!! read more

Steven Taylor and Taylor Equities are evicting me and my family after many years of residency. Not for anything we've done wrong, but because they recently bought our non-rent control building and intend to drive out tenants and raise rents to luxury prices. The work on common spaces they've done to justify raising my rent by more than 40% has been entirely shoddy cosmetic upgrades like ugly wallpaper rather than actual improvements. Don't support this unethical company! read more

STAY AWAY!!! This new management company is the worst! They find ways to evict tenants or push them out with undesirable living conditions. The earlier post was correct, look at their reviews under Ness Management. They changed names to cover their tracts. I regret moving in and now stuck dealing with unprofessional landlord and management who just doesn't care. Save yourself the hassle. read more

Horrible experience. Taylor Equities formerly known as Ness Property Management (definitely look up reviews under Ness) has become a living nightmare. They are notorious for purchasing properties and finding ways to intimidate tenants to move out...only to later raise rent prices. They've recently taken over complex units I reside, and they've immediately found loopholes in HACLA (Housing Authority) protocol to raise rent. The Property Management staff offer shoddy buy-outs to old tenants and make their living standard uncomfortable until they give in. Make sure you read everything you sign carefully if you are considering moving to any of their properties. read more

Do NOT support this company. There staff is racist, unprofessional and crooks! I submitted an application after I was given false information about availability by their secretary. When I arrived to the listing Amy was dismissive, rushing and rude. The price she quoted me did not match what was online. I then contacted Justin and he was rude as well. He called me "aggresive" which is coded language for angry Black man. Do not patronize this agency. read more

The Taylor Equities team in charge of the building on Carlton are some of the best around. Amy rented me my apartment and Ray and Iman (brothers) manage the community. Reading around online you might find some negative reviews about the previous management group, but as a current tenant I can tell you that the new TE folks genuinely care about the well being of their residents. Case in point, I locked myself out of my apartment on a Saturday evening and Iman was there within ten minutes. Amy was flexible with the terms of my move-in and Ray always responds quick to any questions or issues. This kind of stuff is rare in LA. I've moved four times in this city and think now will happily stay put for a while. read more

Our apartment bldg. on Waverly Dr. was recently purchased by Taylor Equities and they are on site everyday, making improvements and upgrades. They have been friendly and accommodating. Transition can be challenging especially for those of us long-time residents and they seem to understand that. We are really fortunate that our manager, Karma, has been so accessible and understanding. We always know we can count on her to help and support. Peter H. read more

Austin was super communicative and friendly. We are apartment hunting in LA while living in Denver so having someone who listens closely to your needs and provides honest feedback is crucial. I would highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for an apartment in LA. read more

Ray is my apartment manager on Carlton Way and he's the best. Every time I've asked about something I get an immediate response. He's even let me borrow his hot spot when my wifi has gone out and his own garage door key for the night when I didn't have mine. Every concern that I've had has been taken care of right away. read more

Im currently a "new" tenant of Taylor Equities in a refurbished unit @2965 Waverly Dr. : i literally feel like they are torturing me and like my health is being compromised. They have been doing construction for almost a year now and it seems they have a blatant disregard for their tenants. I actually have lived in the building for 8years before is was taken over by Taylor. Since the take over and in the refurbished unit I have had one problem after the next. If one problem is fixed another one arises. I have not had a moments peace since i moved in back in Nov 2018. I feel like Taylors business practices are not on par with how much they are charging for apartments that arent done that well. I pay $2250 - they are actually charging $2895 for the exact thing i have and honestly there is no way i would pay that amount - i feel $2250 is still on the high end for what has been renovated and how the building looks and feels. read more

I am a resident with one of Taylor Equities properties on Carlton and so far the place and its management have been great. Ray the property manager has been prompt and efficient when I come to his job. They even go the extra mile and text personally if a light is left on in a car. No complaints. read more

Amazing building with an AMAZING property manager, super quick at responding and handling any questions or problems we may have. Such an amazing place to live! Thank you Ray, for making this the best to call home! -Liam read more

The worst. Positive reviews are bought. I know at least 2 are from tenants who were later evicted. They raised rent $800 in one year when it was already over $1700. Do your research. read more

This company will do anything to scam you out of your deposits and come up with any lie to do so. I would never recommend renting through this company. They are also entirely disorganized, they loose paperwork, they loose rent receipts and try and get you to double pay. The buildings are also bug infested. STAY AWAY! read more

I will start with the positive. Our resident manager Karma deserves 5 stars. She is thoughtful, very professional and cares about the tenants. But even she is not enough to EVER live in a Taylor owned property. They buy non-rent controlled buildings, slap some lipstick on them and harass the currents tenants into leaving by jacking up the rent almost 100% in some cases. Their idea of fixing the dryer consists solely of removing the sign that says it's broken. Their repairs are shoddy, the office staff is rude and threatening. And if you think they won't jack up your rent after a year (remember non-rent controlled) I want to sell you a bridge. They were voted the WORST landlords in Los Angeles. And if you read a positive review it was probably paid for with a non-disclosure agreement. RUN do not walk from any property they own. read more

Just moved to K-town for work. I love that Ill be so close to work now. Yes there's a lot of construction and traffic, but I wont have to make that 2 hour commute from Santa Clarita. Rent is cheap and well worth the size of my home. There are no amenities like the place I used to be at, but its fine. Not like I used them anyway. Parking is probably the only issue. I moved in to a studio and there was no parking with my unit. If one comes up, management said I could rent for an extra $50 not bad, hopefully one comes up. Its very quiet and everyone keeps to themselves. The only thing I would change is maybe the laundry room, it's a little dark and dirty. read more

I moved to the area a few months ago and enjoy where I live. The building itself is old but the inside is renovated and nice. I had a few issues in the beginning with getting the gas turned on and one of the property managers was incredibly hard to reach. But ever since then I've had a great experience thanks to Ray, the on site manager. He's so helpful whether it's letting me in immediately if I locked myself out or texting me to check in and ensure my maintenance request problems have been fixed. I always go through him now and I have been easy living since. read more

My girlfriend and I have lived here for several months now our experience is been fantastic. I've had several not-so-pleasant apartment living experiences in the past and this is by far the best largely due to Ray, the Property Manager and Henry the maintenance lead. They could not have been more welcoming to my girlfriend, our dog, and I. Maintenance request are completed amazingly fast and the facilities look great. Equiped with some nice covered bike racks! Dog bags station provided and the location is nice and close to a dog park. If we can get a recycling dumpster instead of the bins which fill up quick and a small outside trash can by the dog bag station I would readily change this rating to a 5/5 read more

I would give them 3.5 stars but I'll round up for now. We are new to LA and moved into the 6021 Carlton Way building in Hollywood a few months ago. Amy - the leasing agent - is just lovely and very responsive. The apartments were recently redone for the most part and are good value for money. The management company is overwhelmed though, with a bunch of their buildings currently under renovation - so half our building is still under construction - it's not terrible but we underestimated how in-progress everything still is, three months in. That being said, the management office addressed most of our issues and requests within a few days and once our property manager, Ray, moved in, things appear to be in much better shape in terms of service requests and taking care of any other issues in the building and the apartment. Because the building is being completely renovated - quite a few things are still a work-in-progress - the intercom is still not set up so it can be tricky getting packages, there were a ton of mail issues which have hopefully been resolved now, and the building still doesn't have recycling bins but hopefully that too will happen as soon as more apartments are finished. So far so good and I hope it stays this way. read more
