Unif has been my landlord for 3 years now, and I've never had a better one! They always answer any question I might have, are very fast to get things fixed around the house, helped us get a brand new washer and dryer as well as renovating our attic. Over these three years I've never had anything to complain about and all service has been expedient, therefore nothing less than 5 stars go out this exceptional landlord. read more

I would highly recommend UNIF and working with Eric N. He is professional and found him very nice and friendly to work with. We had not been renters in a long time and when we met with him he was very honest, personable and up front on the terms and conditions. As the landlord he and his team were very responsive. The work was usually done that day and with good service. If I called, he answered or called back shortly and with a resolution. I'd say they have excellent service. We moved out when we completed our house remodel. Eric was was easy to work with on the check out and we did not have any complaints or issues. There was a fee to repair some items in the apartment but it was reasonable and he was upfront on what the costs were. Bottom line for my family is Eric is honest, reasonable and a pleasure to have worked with. Did I mention compassion? Yes, for us he did care about us as tenants. I would rent from him again! Five stars. read more

The bottom line: They are very professional, accommodating and straight forward. This is definitely an awesome "no bullshit" property management team. They let you know how things will be dealt with and are very helpful if you have any questions). The details: My roommates and I were on the hunt for a new place starting in May. We searched high and low for a place that would accommodate three of us and was in a reasonable distance of work. Almost three months later, we still didn't have a place. It was beginning to be nerve-wrecking. Luckily, we saw an ad on Craigslist and decided to drop everything that evening to see it. Once we viewed what was to be our new home, Eric and the Unif staff made the experience quick and enjoyable. We saw the place on Wednesday and signed the lease that Friday. I don't regret a thing. =) We even asked to move in a few days earlier since the old tenants were gone and they made it happen! I would definitely recommend Unit and wish more property managers were like them. read more

I wanted to reiterate how incredible the support from Unif is. I sent an email on Monday to Eric telling him about issues we had with the garbage disposer, some light switches and our entrance door, and also giving him a list of all the light bulbs that were dead anywhere in the apartment (seven, including for some new lights I personally added), and on Tuesday morning everything was fixed. Incredible. It feels like we are living in a 5 star suite with a room service working 24/7! read more

I lived at one of UNIF's properties in the mission for three years and I loved everything about the way they handled their property from Day 1 all the way to the very end of my lease. They are wonderful people to work with; their maintenance staff is excellent, responsible, and very nice. I have never lived under a lease where requests for maintenance were so efficiently and quickly resolved. I would recommend living in one of their properties, hands down, without question, any day. Eric and his staff are so far above par it's amazing. Thanks so much, all of you!! read more

I rented from Erik at UNIF for a year in the mission with 5 other girls! I was very impressed overall with their professionalism. You wouldn't even know that their company is more mom and pop style by their office and attentiveness. Anytime we had a problem, it was resolved quickly and even minor repairs could be emailed(which is soo much easier then having to call each time) and none of the repairs that I know of were related to shotty craftmanship or anything. Also other problems were solved with human kindness and not from a bottom line motto! The rent was pretty good for the Mission and its location! Our only complaint was the return on the deposit, but to be fair they warned us! We got charged a lot for garbage pick up, stove clean up and repainting walls(we tried but we didn't mean their standards, and like I said they warned us). But they worked with us to try to bring it down. Otherwise we were very impressed and happy with renting there and if I move back there, I will call him up first! read more

I rented from UNIF for about a year. They are a fair company. Easy to call on the phone. Repairs were done quickly and painlessly. read more

Very reponsive to emails, they fix things quickly, and generally super friendly. Most management companies seem devoid of human emotion but these folks are understanding and warm. read more

I took the time to actually create a profile for UNIF because Eric and everyone at UNIF are just that helpful, professional, and worth it... In a city full of neglectful property managers and owners, it was so very refreshing to know that Eric really cared about me as a tenant and was always attentive and responsive to our needs. If you're considering an apartment or other lease with Eric and UNIF, I would highly recommend you go with them. If it's a matter of choosing between a cheaper place and a place with UNIF, consider the added value of a manager who will treat you fairly, listen to your concerns, fix most issues, and maintain a clean, safe place for you to live. PS. Eric even sent us a holiday gift basket! read more

Just writing to echo everything that's already been said on this page. I lived in a UNIF building for two years and had a great experience with Eric and his company. They're prompt, professional, and responsive. Can't beat the holiday gift basket, also. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Eric and his team at Unif are a top notch property management company. I rented them for 4 years and I have nothing but excellent things to say about them. Recently renovated properties, very responsive to maintenance requests, and they really care about building great relationships with their tenants. If you are in the market for a new place, do not hesitate to look up Unif properties. read more

What can you say about the great people at UNIF?? We moved to SF about a year ago from DC. Because of my job we had only one weekend to find a place to live. That's a near impossible task in SF. I cannot explain how relieved we are that we choose our nicely renovated apartment managed by UNIF. They have been the most accommodating management company I have ever had in my many years of renting. We recently had some unfortunate experiences involving some theft and suspicious activity around our house. Even though it's in the cute and "safe" neighborhood of Noe Valley, bad people pass through. We had open access to our back area which led to our back door. After a break in to our downstairs neighbors through a downstairs window, our bikes getting stolen off of our back step, and my wife encountering a crazy tattoo faced guy knocking on our back patio door, probably the guy who stole the bikes, I thought we had to do something to cut off this access. I wrote one email to Eric, Debbie, James and the crew at UNIF and next day they had a beautiful, sturdy, dead bolted, redwood fence/gate up preventing all access to the back area. That's service!! No questions asked. They just realized that it needed to be done and it would improve our comfort and the apartment's security. In a city of land lord horror stories, it's great to know that there are a few good ones out there, and UNIF is one of the best!! read more

Everything about renting from UNIF has gone smoothly. They are very quick to get back to us with any sort of issue, whether it be something that needs to get fixed or problems with inconsiderate neighbors. Even better, UNIF is pet friendly, although they did have some restrictions on breeds when we were signing the lease. If I ever move, I hope it's to another of their properties! read more

I lived in UNIF property for about a year and half and had an excellent experience the entire time. They were quick, friendly, and responsive to all emails and any maintenance requests. Would definitely rent from them again! read more

I have been living in my house for 2 years now and Erik has always been very responsive to all the repair requests we asked him. It takes him less than a week to fix things and sometimes he does it the next day. A month ago we asked him to fix our garden so that we could have a table and a few chairs in a space we didn't really use because we had the hardest time to grow anything there. Two weeks later we had a team of contractors building a terrace and fixing everything in the garden. I never had such a responsive landlord in my renters life read more

Very attentive, communicate well and are really rational/easy to deal with! I'd recommend them as a management company - there when you need them, and not when you don't. Also as an added bonus - they send all the master tenants a great holiday gift. read more

Perfectly legal practices, but shady. They treat potential renters like bidders in an auction, without telling them so. Stringing people along, misleading them into thinking they'll get the place, only to hold out for higher bidders. You know how you are invited to hang out with someone, but you're not really sure if you want to hang out with that person? Of course, you don't want to stay home either, and you suspect that something better might come up. So you bullshit around and tell the person that you already have tentative plans, and that *might* fall through, and if those plans do fall though that you'll definitely want to hang out with them. Well, that's how Unif treats you... like a backup date. If they suggest that you might get the place after a couple of days, that just means that they're holding out for someone funnier, better looking, and willing to put out on the first date. Er, I mean, someone willing to pay more money. No thanks, I'm not desperate enough to be your backup bitch. On another note, their yelp ratings are pretty shady. As of this writing, they have 21 Filtered reviews and 52 unfiltered ones. Almost 1/3 of their reviews are filtered! There are also a lot of 5 star reviews by those who have posted very few reviews. And many of these reviews are quite old in internet terms, dating back to 2010. I wonder if they somehow offer incentives to those tenants who leave good reviews? Also, note that many of the 5 star reviews have like a crazy amount of "Usefuls," in some cases over 100. That's crazy. I suspect those filtered reviews are responsible for 21 of those "Usefuls" for each review. Shady? Yes. Thankfully, I found a better place to reside. read more

Most of the time our relationship with Eric was very hands off, we rarely had any maintenance issues and he left us to our own devices, win-win. There was a period early on in which maintenance issues (especially perpetual ones, like the clogged drains that our 5-girl house resulted in) would it sometimes take a few calls or emails to get addressed, but once we started interacting with James, issues were taken care of with one phone call and very promptly. Overall, our relationship with Eric was generally all-business; he followed the letter of the lease agreement and held us to it as well, which is a plus in my book. We did get an annual gift basket though, which we always looked forward to! Thanks Unif for a great 5 years. read more

My husband and I had an excellent experience renting from Eric Neploch at UNIF! He was friendly, responsive, honest and never argued or stalled if anything needed fixing. We might be moving back to the Bay Area and Eric will be the first person we call for a rental. We also recommended him to our wide Bay Area network of friends and colleagues with complete confidence. I was surprised to read negative reviews and can only speak for us. We were living in the same house for over 3 years and thought Eric was a terrific landlord. read more

I rented an apartment from Unif for 1.5 years and it was a great experience from start to finish. The online portal made payments and reporting apartment issues very simple. Eric was always quick to respond and super reliable. Even after I moved out Eric continued to be someone I could count on. read more

I'm pretty disappointed to see some of these one star reviews... For note - I was never paid or given anything for my review on yelp. I just had a great experience with this company. You pay for what you get. We paid reasonable rent for a beautiful apartment and when we ever needed a repair it was done in a timely manner. Eric gave us our full deposit back and a holiday basket with very nice stuff in it every year. He was always friendly and I would rent from him again in a hearbeat. read more

Had a great year living at a wonderful apartment on Mission Street, run by UNIF inc. The apartment had top notch appliances, hardwood floors, washer/dryer, etc. My friends were always jealous when they saw how modern the apartment was. Eric, Debbie, and James are a joy to work with. Straightforward, honest, open - really no BS which is hard to come by in property managers. If the market wasn't so tough right now I would've happily rented from them again, but they didn't even have any openings! Only reason I moved out was that 2 of my roommates were moving out and we didn't want to hunt for new roomies on Craigslist. No problems in the entire year. Thanks Eric and team! read more

Rented a parking space from UNIF for almost two years. Easily the best experience I've had renting anything. Allen was always ready to answer any questions I had, and was always super responsive! 10/10 would rent from this company again. read more

The whole Unif team, but especially Eric and Debbie, are as great as it gets when it comes to renting housing in SF. I've been with Unif for nearly 2 years now and it has been a breeze. They are always available, helpful and insightful. Paying rent is super easy through their online portal. Maintenance requests can easily be submitted there too or via email. Any time we had a request it was always handled within a day. When I started looking for a smaller place, Eric provided me with a last minute landlord reference (which got me the place I wanted) even though I called after hours! He also gave me some timely advice about bidding strategies in the SF rental market. This also helped and get me the new place. If you have a chance to rent with Unif, look no further! read more

The team at Unif is excellent. We've had a wonderful time at our home thanks to them. On all points for being a good landlord they excel. Repairs: Check Online payment: Check Friendly: Check Responsive: Check They gave us cookies and treats for the holidays! - that pretty much sums up the type of people you'll be working with. read more

Rented from Eric at Unif and always had a great experience. Anytime there was a problem he had a repairman out asap ..usually the same day. We asked for an automatic garage door not knowing if we would get it but Eric just said "of course" and had one installed for us. We would press the opener half way down the block and cruise right into the basement with our bikes. Very cool (and safe)!! And try to find a property management company that is as pet-friendly. .good luck with that. read more

I was a UNIF tenant for about 3 years. Overall, they were a super fair, reasonable, and courteous management company. Repairs were done quickly and without complaint, and the online portal worked well. Additionally, they were very fair regarding our security deposit at the end of the lease. Would recommend! read more

I lived in a Unif managed property in the Mission and it has been an incredible experience. Eric, Allen and team have been great from the very beginning. Any problem we had, they addressed it super fast and their kindness and warmness were just amazing. Thank you! read more

I called a UNIF property home for the last 9.5 years and probably would have stayed there longer if my fiance and I didn't buy a house. Eric, Allen and Miguel were a great property management team to work with. They were responsive with any maintenance requests. The moving out process was also very easy and seamless. read more

I lived in San Francisco for about 6 years, and 4 of them were with Unif and they were great! From day 1 the Unif team was helpful and made the stress of relocating a little less crazy. Throughout the years living there any issues were always taken care of and even came through and took care of us proactively. I also got a holiday basket of cookies and goodies that my roommates and I always looked forward to! San Francisco is FILLED with housing horror stories... but not at Unif. If you're thinking about moving in with them, I'd say do it! read more

Unif is a great rental management company. They always acted in a timely and professional manner whenever I needed to contact them. They were also great at responding to maintenance requests when we had various issues with the house. read more

Having lived in a Unif managed property for over eight years I had an excellent experience with Eric and the entire Unif team. I would highly recommend working with Unif as a landlord or management company to anyone in the market. Our property's common areas were always impeccably maintained, maintenance requests handled quickly and effectively, and they were always easy to get in touch with. read more

Quick to reply on emails and calls. Great customer service. Eric and Allen are very professional and has been very accommodating. Auto pay made paying rent very convenient. Thanks a bunch Unif! read more

I lived in a building Unif-owned apartment in San Francisco for about nine years. Eric and his various employees over the years have all been top-notch: good at what they do and genuinely good-hearted people. Have you ever lived in an apartment where the building owner sends a Christmas gift to all the tenants? I never had. Highly recommended. read more

Lived in Excelsior for 4 years, and UNIF was great. Any maintenance issues that came up were resolved very promptly. Their online system is pretty great. We were not rent controlled, and the rent was only raised 2/4 years, which averaged to just a little over what rent controlled units can be raised. read more

I lived in a UNIF-managed property for close six years (five as a master tenant). Eric and co. were always helpful and quick to address maintenance requests. Eric was very helpful and accommodating when I took over the lease from the previous tenant and again when transferring it from myself to a roommate/current leaser. The payment portal was also easy to use and convenient. Would definitely recommend any unit managed by UNIF! read more

Eric was our landlord, and was really great to work with! Always super responsive and fixed issues in our apt as they came up. Would highly recommend working with him! read more

After living in one of Unif's units for 7 years, I can attest that Unif is an amazing management company. Always responsive, always fair, very flexible and communicative - I can't imagine a better experience. After hearing some stories from my friends about their living situation and unresponsive management/landlords, I realize just how good I had it with Unif. As the cherry on top, they would always send great goodie boxes and a card for Christmas :). read more

This review is a long time coming. I signed a lease on a 7br/4ba in the Inner Richmond with Unif in 2011 and was a tenant for over 4 years with them. My brother in law took over the lease from me a few years ago - so you can say I'm very familiar with the way they do business. I am dismayed to report that Eric and UNIF remain aloof, frequently delayed and UNCARING about general quality of life issues on the property. Mold infestations resurface every 6 months only to get painted over, ABSOLUTE REFUSAL to hear/address concerns or mediate our terrible upstairs neighbor experience (which includes a violent dog attack in our back yard, an illegal fire pit, endless late night partying, threats of physical violence, police reports, trash and cigarettes everywhere, etc). All in all we've spent over $606,000 (you read that right) over the course of 6 yrs with Eric and UNIF. You'd think we were beggars on the street. Subtenants have left and cited the mold issue and have contacted the rent board (as have we) about UNIF's dismaying behavior. The delays are unacceptable especially when dealing with black mold. Don't expect any sympathy for quality of life issues if they aren't required by law, either. Plenty of properties with nice upgrades get you in the door but be wary if you're trying to make a UNIF house your home. read more

There are a few ways you can avoid being mistaken for a San Franciscan, such as wearing shorts in summer, or failing to ask someone where they are from. No one who lives here is from here. There are only three native San Franciscans and they all moved someplace cheaper. However, if you must live here then you could do a lot worse than to rent from UNIF. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a better rental agency than UNIF. I rented properties from UNIF for about five years, and UNIF was always extremely prompt in fixing any problems, usually coming the same day or providing a date of when it would be fixed (always in the next couple of days). I never had to call more than once to get a hold of them. While living in one of UNIF's properties I had a car accident that left my truck "parked" inside a restaurant. When UNIF heard about it, they sent flowers and called to make sure I was okay, which was much more considerate than the parking ticket I received from the city. They are a business and will--yes--expect you to pay the rent you agreed to pay (I know, shocking), but I am a pretty thrifty person (I once got by on $10 a week for groceries) and found the rents to be among the best in the city, considering what you will get (a nicely updated and spotless home along with the top notch management). That being said don't tell anyone about UNIF - they'll never believe that you live in San Francisco. Instead, when someone tells you about their shady landlord who insists that "lead" is a legitimate color of paint, just smile and nod - and then go home to your awesome apartment. read more
