I wish I had read the reviews of this place before I started renting! Does anyone else find it scary that Eric actually started contacting a renter to remove their negative review? Sorry Unif, this is a fake name so you can't harass me the way you harassed the other poster who posted an honest review of your business! I saw the posting for a rental on CL, checked it out, the place seemed nice, put in an application (fee for credit check). I've been renting for 6 months and for the rent I pay I really feel I should be receiving better service. I should have known that we would have problems with this company when they called us the day before we were supposed to move in to tell us that the rental was not ready! Even though this inconvenienced our moving plans, the place we are is nice so we told them it was fine. That should have been a warning about the beginning our nightmare dealing with this company! Anyone who rents knows that it is not a good idea to try to fix maintenance issues yourselves (regardless of how "small") because should anything go wrong, the landlord will be sending you the bill. Unif has been slow to respond to maintenance issues which is a real pain! Have you tried living with no hot water for three days? Not fun. In addition, In the beginning of January the staff contacted us saying we had not paid our rent when we did! There is nothing more disturbing than checking your voicemail to hear a message saying that your rent is not in on time when you know that the rent was paid. I called Unif, left a message that the rent had been paid, and waited for a call back. NONE. I tried calling them multiple times the next two days, no response. I checked my bank account to see that yes, they had of course received the check and the money had been withdrawn. I can understand if there had been a misunderstanding but not contacting a tenant once you've figured out there was a mistake? Unacceptable! I wish I had had the foresight to check yelp before I rented, I could have avoided dealing with this awful company. I do not recommend renting from this group at all, nice rental but poor maintenance and awful management. read more

Avoid this company you'll regret it! I moved to SF about a year and a half ago and found a place on Craigslist that is managed by this company. The house looked great, I needed to find a place quickly, and Eric seemed professional and friendly. Unfortunately I've found out that once you sign your lease, they no longer care! My roommates and I pay close to $4k a month in rent, you'd think that if we called Eric to have normal household repairs fixed quickly that he would complete these repairs/contact us in a timely manner about the progress on the repair. Unfortunately MANY times we have had incidents where these repairs were not done in a timely manner and we had to constantly call Unif in order to find out the progress on our requests instead of the company being professional and contacting us. In addition, like other posters I had an incident where I sent in the rent check a day late due to a family emergency over the holidays. Unif was quick to find my number to call me THAT DAY! I wish the company was as timely and diligent with fixing repairs as they are about contacting me about receiving their rent check! It was the first time I had ever turned in the check late so the situation was very annoying, topped off with the fact that it had taken them three weeks the month before to complete an important but easy repair. If you're looking for a place to spend your hard earned money, don't spend it with this group. When my lease is over my roommates and I are going to move to find a place with a landlord who actually maintains his properties and is professional with his tenants. read more

I rented from UNIF in 2009-1010. They were an excellent landlord - always quick to respond and easy to get a hold of. When we moved out they were incredibly reasonable and friendly about returning the security deposit. Before we signed the lease we were invited to their office to sit down face to face with the President of UNIF for a greeting. It was casual and comfortable. I remember Eric (the president) saying that he loves renting to people who own dogs because if a person can care for a dog it says something about their personality. I think that says something about Erics personality. I reached out to UNIF a few years after moving out to help my sister and cousin secure housing during a time when the SF rental market was fully saturated and housing was nearly impossible to find. UNIF sent me a list of available units and implied that my sis and cousin would have first dibs. UNIF is an excellent company to rent from and an excellent group to have on your side. read more

I spent three years at a UNIF managed property in the Lower Haight district of San Francisco. People always came into our place with "oooo's" and "ahhh's," when they saw how well renovated our place was with its high ceilings and clean floors. The property was one of the most well taken care of properties I have ever come across in San Francisco. After 3 years, on a 4 year lease we received our full security deposit - stellar! I have never received a penny back from any previous lease prior. James, with the maintenence team was always there within 24 hours when we needed something fixed. Eric Neplohk consulted me about the rental realm in SF beyond UNIF properties even as our lease was about to finish. He always took the time to make sure that every party involved was satified and stress free. I can truly say that Eric is much more concerned about the well being of his tenants than potential pecuniary gain. read more

I've been renting from Unif rental company since 2009. There are no major problems at all. Every time the apartment needs maintenance, it would be fixed within 2 days. If it's really major, then they would come ASAP. I was locked out twice, and Debbie was very friendly in assisting, she made sure I can get into my apartment as fast as she can. The rental is a bit pricey, but its worth the maintenance and quality of the apartment itself. Mine was recently renovated, so I have no problem in paying extra. The only problem I had was noisy neighbors that live above me, they used to make big parties. Not so much recently (it was probably extended house warming). I have nothing to complain about now. It has been wonderful so far, and I am very pleased with their friendly service. Recommended for everyone! read more

have been renting an apartment that is managed by Unif and had a wonderful experience working with the owner, Eric. Unif been by far the most responsible, professional, and friendly property management company I had to deal with. Eric is very diligent and responsive to crisis (he actually had someone come to my place within 2 hours of my call to repair a plumbing issue which my roommates caused). Also the apartment I had rented from him was a beautifully remodeled flat and probably the nicest I have seen from all the places I visited. A big bonus for me and a rare treat in this city is that Eric allowed pets! It is obvious that Unif takes wonderful care of the apartments they own. It has been a real pleasure to deal with a great landlord for a change. read more

My roommates and I had a great experience with Unif. Our first great interaction was the pass off between master tenants - we were able to seamlessly change the lease over from previous roommates to ourselves. We then went on to spend several years in the Unif property. Each time we needed any property assistance (plumbing, appliance troubles, general upkeep) the Unif crew was very responsive and helpful. Every holiday season Eric and the Unif team would send our house a wonderful gift basket. Since moving out of the Unif property, Eric has been very supportive in providing a landlord recommendation. Overall, I feel like we got really lucky in finding such a caring and thoughtful landlord/property management team in the Bay Area. read more

UNIF is awesome! I have been renting from this company since June, 2010 and I have nothing but positive things to say about them. Eric is the friendliest landlord I have ever come across. Whenever there is a problem (which is seldom) it is taken care of immediately. I have had a few landlords in my history and none compare to this company. Honestly, I usually find landlords to be a pain, but this is definitely not the case when it comes to UNIF. Heck, for Christmas they even sent us beautiful gift baskets with a lot of nice treats. I'm really not one to boast about companies or even to comment on yelp, but they definitely deserve a good review. If you are thinking of renting, this is your place! read more

I lived in a UNIF property in SF for almost 3 years and never really had any problems with the property management team. Eric was always willing to listen no my questions (I had a lot about eviction), since I was the only lease holder of 4 people. The maintenance guy whose name I believe was James was also always very responsive and helpful. I was worried about getting back my security deposit after almost 3 years living with 3 other people but UNIF was more than fair about it and essentially overlooked the majority of issues as basic wear and tear. I believe I got around 92% of my deposit back which was much more than I expected. I would definitely rent from UNIF again. read more

I lived in a Unif apartment for a year and it was a fantastic experience! Allen and Eric made every part of the initial lease signing and move in process super easy. Once moved in, they were extremely quick to respond to any maintenance requests in our unit, very courteous in giving us ample notice of any work being done around the property and receptive to any questions we had. It really felt like a home! Another positive is paying rent is super easy through the online portal. If I wasn't relocated for work, I'd still be living there and would recommend to anyone looking for a place to rent in SF! read more

Eric and Unif are great. They were very helpful and accommodating during the initial process of finding a place and moving in. They were helpful with any requests or concerns that we had. The property my roommates and I moved in to has been taken care of to the highest degree. It was redone to a high standard before our arrival and very clean the day we moved in. Management has been fair and responsive since that point. I would absolutely recommend renting from Eric and Unif because you are guaranteed to receive quality and commitment that is simply not a standard every where else. read more

Unif has been amazing to my roommates and I. Debbie and Eric were always there whenever we needed ANYTHING (lockouts, lost garage door openers, ants, etc.) Our apartment was beautiful on the inside and felt fresh and new. We have seen other houses and apartments that Eric rented out to our friends and they were equally nice and spacious. (Very hard to find in SF!!!!) If I wasn't moving out of San Francisco I would defiantly be renting from Unif again! read more

I moved to San Francisco a few months ago and was lucky enough to have stumbled upon an apartment managed by Unif. When I first moved here I was having hard time finding a nice place that also accepted dogs and I finally found a beautifully remodeled apartment that also accepted pets. Eric and Debbie from Unif were super helpful and I appreciate Eric for taking the time to explain every part of the lease. So far I have been very happy with the company. read more

After living in our own home for the last thirty years, it's been fun to be a tenant again. Our UNIF apartment is beautiful, light-filled and well-maintained. It retains the charm of the original design, with the convenience of new appliances, lighting and central heat. In the heart of the mission district, we're close to the restaurants, bodegas and people we love best. Two thumbs up for Eric, Debbie and their crew! read more

Rented from Eric and James (property manager) in Inner Richmond. Apparment was perfect, great location, all re-done. Few problems in the year, were taken care of directly. Got a check for full deposit back soon after vacating the apartment. Could not have been easier. Very polite on all interactions. Will be looking again in a year for a place in SF and would be happy to work with Unif again. read more

Could not agree more with the individuals below. Eric was an excellent landlord that was always on the ball when it came to repairs or complaints. He was always in constant communication with us when it came to upgrades or maintenance issues. If you have the opportunity to rent with him, consider yourself very lucky. He was the best landlord that I have ever had. Keep it up UNIF! read more

I lived here for 5 years! Loved the house and honestly the landlord was great. I would call for whatever in usually in 24 hours it was fixed. All I did was click the "let them in if you aren't home button" and it was like magic. Another thing... they send you a treat basket during the holiday season and those were seriously my favorite cookies and brownies... Miss those cookies. read more

Eric was extremely helpful, transparent and great to work with. He's a great business man with a straight forward style. I enjoyed renting from him because all minor issues that needed to be fixed, his property manager quickly addressed. We also faced a life changing event while on a lease and he was happy to work with us as we transitioned out of SF. I recommend Eric & UNIF read more

Renting through Unif management was a great experience. Eric, Allen, and the maintenance workers were all very professional and understanding. All business was basically handled through the tenant portal which was easy to set-up/use. Paying rent/requesting any kind of maintenance was a breeze. I would highly recommend renting through Unif for a seamless rental process. read more
