Eric is awesome. He's always taken care of any issues with the apartment . I've rented with Eric for nearly 4 years now. The place is awesome, big porch, close to Dolores Park, and recently remodeled. We've only had a slight rent increase once. It's the little things that count, it's great to receive a gift basket at the end of every year. I don't look forward to the day I end up leaving the apartment. read more

Though I'm typically only on Yelp to read others' reviews, I felt compelled to contribute after the outstanding service I've received from Eric and the UNIF team. Pros: As responsive a property management company you could ask for, any and all requests were handled before we knew it. Flexible - moved in as lease was expiring and was able to sign on a month-to-month basis. Holiday baskets! Need I say more? These folks really care. Cons: none Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional, courteous management company. read more

UNIF Inc. is an excellent rental property company. I was the leaseholder on a flat I rented through them for 2 years and it was a very positive experience. The apartment, as I moved into it, was in great condition: beautiful and squeaky clean. And throughout the two years I lived there, renting with UNIF was really a pleasure. Our landlord, Eric Neplokh, was always friendly, courteous, and responsive to any of our maintenance requests or general questions. UNIF Inc. finds the rare balance of keeping their properties very well maintained and being really responsive while also not meddling in your day-to-day life and letting you live in the apartment like it's YOUR home. Believe me, if there's a problem with your fuse or your water heater, you want it fixed quickly so it was great how Eric was consistently a fast-acting and concerned landlord (24-hour-emergency maintenance number, etc). And that's not always the case in San Francisco! Guess what? They even sent us gift baskets for the holidays as a thank-you for being their tenants. Really lovely people. So a great property with working everything, a good landlord, and even snacks. Sounds pretty good to me. Would rent with them again. read more

as far and landlords and management company's go, these guys are super professional. responsive to repair requests, courteous and by the book. not once did I feel they were 'taking me for a ride' or ignoring anything I asked of them. quite an enjoyable experience living in the property I rented from them. Thanks UNIF!! read more

Eric was my fair and reasonable landlord for 8 years; when I took over the lease on a humongous house his advice, given freely but only when I solicited it, was always very smart and on point. Didn't raise the rent every year and easily could have, and yearly thank you baskets a nice touch. Having a pet friendly landlord was of utmost importance to me and I found that in Eric and Unif. If I ever move back to SF he'll be my first call. read more

I've lived in a UNIF property for 2 years now. The experience has been great and I have no complaints...only that all other landlords were this easy to work with. The staff is professional and courteous. They have quick response time and a maintenance team to address any issues that may arise with rental property. They are super friendly also for your basic interactions and even dropped off a holiday basked at our house :) Overall great experience with this leasing company and our apartment, I would definitely recommend them! read more

I had absolutely no problems with Eric Neploch and UNIF. Every interaction I had with Eric was entirely professional and well within the lines of reasonable conduct for this type of business transaction. Anytime the apartment required maintenance, I would receive a call from Eric within 24 hours and the problem would be fixed within 48 hours. Also, Eric never made any unannounced visits or placed any unreasonable demands on me or the other tenants. I was allowed to replace old tenants with no hassles and Eric allowed for drawing up a new lease on my favorable terms when the original tenants from my lease moved out. When I out, Eric got me my deposit back in 10 days, as we agreed in the lease. UNIF was an excellent landlord to rent from and I would not hesitate to do so again. read more

I've been renting with three roommates from UNIF for close to 5 years now. Part of the reason we've stayed so long is the great service we've always received from Erik and the rest of the UNIF staff. They are very professional but still warm and accommodating and have always been extremely responsive to all of our requests. Throughout our tenancy they replaced our washer/dryer, a toilet, garbage disposal and made a number of general repairs and never charged us a penny! Erik and staff are very reasonable and easy to work with. I really can't say enough. They made us feel comfortable and valued as tenants and I would definitely rent from them again. read more

Over the years, I've rented three different properties from Unif. I can't recommend them enough! They were extremely responsive and fair in all dealings. I've lived and worked in several rental properties over the last 10 years in SF and Eric and his staff have been, by far, the easiest and most pleasant to deal with. If you're looking for a place to rent, save yourself the trouble of looking all over town and go straight to Unif for a top-notch renting experience. Good luck! read more

Eric and the UNIF team have been great landlords. We've been renting a flat from them for the last 2 years in the Mission in SF, and so far we have had no problems with them. The UNIF team is not intrusive at all. We are generally able to conduct ourselves around the house as we please, as long as things are kept in decent order. They've always let us know when they are coming to do any repairs on the house. They promptly respond to any repair requests we've had...anything from the sink, to a ceiling leak, a wall leak, to maintenance on the washing machine. Even though we've had several roommates rotate through our apartment, they have been ultra accommodating in that aspect. The transitions between roommates and transitioning the lease when one person had to move out was seamless. And to top it off, like other yelpers have noted, they send you an ENORMOUS holiday gift basket. I highly recommend them. read more

I lived in a Unif managed property for two years and I had a great experience. Eric always made sure the house was taken care of and that we were comfortable. The application process was smooth as was the move out process and I really appreciate the way my concerns were addressed and the assistance I received from the team at Unif Inc. I would highly recommend Unif Inc. read more

I've lived at a property owned by Unif for a little over 2 years now and I can honestly say they're the best in SF. Always professional and completely reliable. When ever we have a maintenance request, the problem is generally fixed within 48 hours (in most cases within 24 hours) and the fixes are of high quality. Everyone I've interacted with at Unif has been very helpful, reasonable and very courteous. I couldn't ask for much more from a landlord. read more

My roommates and I all loved living in the UNIF property on Masonic and McAllister. Our apartment was spacious and newly renovated. Debbie & Eric are super helpful and very responsive to phone calls and emails. I would recommend their services to anyone! read more

I rented from UNIF for about two years and had a really good experience. The apartment was in great shape when we moved in and they did everything possible to keep it that way, even asking us at one point if there was any additional things they could do to improve the apartment. And UNIF did their best to make paperwork and billing issues as painless as possible. My only real issue with the apartment was the price. The rent was probably a little over the market rate. We tried to renegotiate the rent after our year lease was up (when all real estate in SF took a hit because of the recession), but UNIF essentially called our bluff that we would move out. But I do give them credit, it's hard to move out when you're actually dealing with honest apartment managers that take care of the building for once. read more

I've been renting from Eric and Unif for 8 months. The place is nicely kept up (nice flooring, new appliances, etc.; though the in-unit washer/dryer doesn't dry very well and wrinkles everything, that's the only minor quibble I really have). The team has been extremely responsive to any problems we've reported to them, from getting internet installed to getting the garage door fixed. It's a good place to live, and I'm really impressed by the responsiveness -- I don't think I've ever rented anywhere that was so good at getting back to me and taking care of any problems I encountered, and I find that really valuable. read more

Very professional and friendly. However, make sure you read the contract. My roommate and I were informed that even though our lease ended on a specific date, we had to give them formal notice a month before our lease ended, otherwise we would be responsible for the rent beyond our lease date. I have never seen this in any other rental agreements. However, UNIF was very proactive in finding a tenant for us, and we ended up being able to move out as scheduled on the date our lease ended. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience with them read more

We lived in one of Unif's properties for a year. It was our dream house. We left for a smaller place, closer to work - we didn't need the extra room. But Eric was as nice at the end as we was in the beginning. Eric and his team were always very responsive. They have a simple website where you set up automatic payments and file maintenance requests. I would usually submit the tickets at night and, sure enough, would always get a phone call the next morning, from Miguel - one of their awesome staff - asking my permission to enter the premises and fix whatever issue I reported. Miguel was always super nice and helpful, and I enjoyed chatting with him. He would usually bring more people to help with the task. We were very happy to have lived in one of Unif's properties and sad that we chose to leave. They even sent us a box full of cookies for the Holidays! We got our full deposit back and a phone call from Eric wishing us the best and even offering free advice in the future if we ever decide to buy our own place. Eric is a very experienced manager, smart, educated, and it was always a pleasure chatting with him about anything. read more

Their management team is very quick to answer any questions or concerns. Any problems we had were taken care of immediately. They were even kind enough to send us a gift basket during the holidays. read more

My husband and I had the best possible renting experience with Eric Neplokh at UNIF. He was friendly, responsive, honest and never argued or stalled when something needed fixing. We have been recommending UNIF to our friends and colleagues with complete confidence. I were clients of UNIF for over 3 years and have only great things to say about him. Our friends who rented with him had the same excellent experience as we did. read more

Why isn't ZERO stars available??? DO NO FALL FOR "FREE MONTHS" RENT RATES OR SIGN A LEASE UNLESS ALL TENANTS WHO ARE MOVING IN CAN BE ON THE LEASE AND THE CONTRACT PRICE IS AS ADVERTISED. Me and my roommates experience with this management service has been varied. It is clear that they are into the money making business from the get go. After agreeing that we were going to take the apartment, Eric set an appointment to sign the lease with us the next day. With cash in hand for the deposit at the UNIF office, we were notified that he decided to INCREASE the monthly rental rate by $500 a month. His justification was that "If you are not willing to pay that price, someone else will." This is was counterbalanced with a month and a half free rent which in some sense sounds like a good deal only if you are planing on staying for a year. Not our case. In addition, NONE of the UNIF properties include water and garbage in rent thus what was originally advertised as a $4000/month flat turned out to be a $4500/month with an additional $200-$350/month for water and garbage. And, for parking, since there are 3 spaces in the building, it is another additional $250/month. Only one space has been rented in the 2 years of me living here. Why not offer it for a discount to a tenant who has lived the building without a complaint and has NEVER been late on rent? As far as being on lease? UNIF WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANYONE FOR REPAIRS OR ANY OTHER MATTERS WHOM WERE NOT SIGNED ONTO THE LEASE EVEN IF THEY WERE AMONGT THE ORIGINAL TENANTS TO MOVE IN. The only reasoning behind this, after research, is that if they acknowledge a non lease holder, they are legally acknowledging you live at their property therefor granting you tenant rights. If the original lease holder vacates the property, UNIF is allowed to evict the remaining tenants or increase the rent to market value totally negating San Francisco's rent control act. In addition, requests for safety flood lights on the rear stair well have not been repaired since moving in. And, the 2 holiday gift baskets costing less than $40 in 2 years are a great idea. Especially after shelling out $108,000 in rent. read more

I lived in a Unif property for about a year and a half. After living in 5 different apartments in my twenties, Unif was head and shoulders above every other realtor. James was not only a cool guy, he was super attentive and quick to fix things at a moment's notice. Eric is a hilarious, very personable guy, too. They didn't jack the rent up on us, returned our deposit fully, fairly, and promptly. I couldn't recommend them more and will definitely hit them up any time that I'm looking for a place in SF in the future! UPDATE: After posting my review, completely unprovoked by me, Eric emailed me personally to thank me for the review (keep in mind, I moved out 2 months ago!): ==== Dear XXXX, I've just read the review and thank you once again for your kind words and a chance to earn your business. Eric ==== Top notch guy! SF doesn't have realtors like this any more! read more

This company gets 1 star and we didn't even make it to the actual signing of a lease. I have had a similar experience to some of those posted on here. 1)This company has open houses for properties that they buy and remodel. When you go to the open house and you turn in an application, YOU WILL BE TOLD, that as long as the credit check is good then you will get the housing, and they will call you with-in 24 to 48 hours. This is their first lie. 2)They actually don't call and before you hear a word back from them they will schedule another open house for a higher renting price. They wont call in that 48 hours because they are waiting for the other open house to finish. The reason is they want more applicants so they can come back to you and tell you because of more interest they want a you to bid HIGHER. 3) If that wasn't enough they will probably do it a third time. They will keep you dangling for weeks while they collect as many applications as they can. and when they hit the highest price they possibly can they give the place to that person despite what they said to you in the beginning or not with minimal contact through phone or email. 4)Now the worst part of the whole situation is that all of those contracts they took with a credit score check fee; the fee is never refunded. They will typically get anywhere between 8-15 applications after 3 or 4 open houses. If you are one of the first applicants they will not even run a credit check, and if you ask for a receipt for that credit check to make sure they are not pocketing your money they will say no. in the end pocketing a few hundred dollars while stringing people out and being as stingy as they possible can. The final point is that I have no clue what they are like as land lords because they have sucked us dry before we even got to that point. We were lied to our face multiple times and our money was stolen. Maybe once you are in they are good land lords, but if you are in the market beware giving them your money and applying. If you do understand that: 1- you will be strung out 2- your money will be taken without a refund 3- you need to keep looking at other places and not put all of your time into their property 4- you probably will not hear back from them at all If there are individuals that have ended up in the same situation as us please let me know. And if Unif would actually like to speak to me they can contact me as well. At this point in time I will do my best to discourage everyone in this field from this company. I am tired of seeing good people get ripped off. read more

I lived in a Unif property for a year and a half and would definitely recommend it. Eric and the staff was very helpful and always worked with us. They always addressed our fix-its or concerns and helped us with the move out process. I was so sad to have to leave the unit bc they had made the process so simple and pleasant. read more

I rented a UNIF apartment for four years in the Mission District. The place was very well-maintained, with a nice recent remodel when I came in. The management company was very responsive to repair requests, and the office staff was pleasant to work with. The process of changing master tenants was painless and transparent. I would gladly rent from this company again. read more

I lived in a Unif property in SF for nearly 2 years. The building was kept in good repair and requested services were responded to quickly and with great attention. Additionally, my communication with their office staff was always efficient and productive, effectively handling any billing or lease concerns that arose. I would have no hesitation going back to live in a Unif apartment. read more

I have a mixed experience with UNIF corporation, at which our landlord is Eric. When it comes to repairs and fixing up the house, he and his property manager are prompt and reasonable, and when they discovered the law required them to connect a landline so our Sonic internet service would work, they did that the next day. They do whatever the law requires, and they do it well and keep most tenants happy. They gave us the contact information of the property manager so we could get any repairs done efficiently. When we first moved in, Eric was very friendly. He was even willing to be understanding if we paid rent late, though we have not done so. He communicates well by email and reasonably well by phone. However, a few months ago when one of my roommates, who was not on the lease, had trouble with our neighbors, he refused to communicate with her and would only talk to me and my co-tenant. Now after 11 months renting, with these issues long since resolved but my co-tenant leaving, UNIF is refusing to add anyone to the lease (or to communicate with them or accept bills from them as that might make them co-tenants), because UNIF wants to be able to raise rent on them if I were to move out, even though my housemates would likely move out first and we just want to be able to divide up bill payment. I don't know how typical of San Francisco landlords that is, but I would call that "obstructively by the book." read more

UNIF is the best of the four landlords I had in the Bay Area, by far. That includes landlords in Berkeley, San Jose, and SF. Rented from UNIF early 2012-mid 2014. UNIF was always easy to deal with, from the get go. Now, that doesn't mean the apartment was easy to secure. Its still cut throat, but thats normal when there's 85321639432908 more people in the City than there are apartments. If you know how to rent in SF/NY (go to the open house with check and credit report in hand) you'll have no problems. We had three occasions where we needed help or repairs and each time UNIF responded within a few hours, and fixed the issue shortly thereafter. My only complaint was that we had to drop off rent checks all the way in Inner Richmond, but soon after we moved in they opened up a new online payment system. Overall a great renting experience. read more

My roommates and I rented a property from Unif this past year, and it was an excellent overall experience. The management at Unif was very responsive and the owner, Eric, was very respectful and easy to deal with. The company makes it very easy to pay rent through their secure website. The website is easy to use and if desired, you can enable autopay so that there is no chance of missing payments. I would highly recommend Unif to anyone that is looking for housing in San Francisco. read more

I have been renting a unit from UNIF for 2+ years and would highly recommend them to others seeking housing in San Francisco. The staff is very professional, attentive and timely in addressing any questions or issues that arise. They also have pet-friendly rentals which accommodate my needs as a pet owner and may be hard to find within the immediate city. I have enjoyed working with UNIF and will continue to refer them in the bay area. read more

We lived in a Unif rental for four years while living in San Francisco and couldn't be happier that we stumbled upon them! Our home was in excellent condition, the service was always prompt and the staff was incredibly friendly, professional and accommodating. When we decided to leave the city, it was a tough decision! We loved our home and knew how lucky we had it with Unif as a landlord. We would definitely rent from them again if we ever find our way back to SF :)! read more

I have only positive things to say about living in an apartment run by Eric and his team at UNIF! Eric was very responsive to our every need - we had a 5 bedroom apartment and had many move ins/outs while I was on the lease, so probably more work than your average apartment to manage. He was always helpful and kind, and such a friendly face to see around town. Our unit was GORGEOUS and pet friendly. Who could ask for more. read more

I lived for over two years in a nice spacious unit managed by Unif. The few times that we had minor maintenance issues, the team was always fast on getting back to me for scheduling and understanding with my cat being wandering around the house :) Good Luck on waiting for a quick response from landlords and finding pet policy! Also, they sent us Christmas gift and holiday card at the end of the year. Can't recall getting holiday gift from a landlord before. Totally recommend Unif, Inc as a property management. read more

Unif was one of the best landlords that I have ever had. Eric, James and everyone else were great to deal with on maintenance and repairs. Always very quick and professional. They even send a gift basket for the holidays! read more

I lived in a Unif property in the Mission for more than 2 years and they have always been great + responsive landlords. It was always easy to get a hold of a staff member, and their repairs were prompt whenever we had the rare issue. If I'm ever back in the West Coast, I would be sure to check with Unif before renting anywhere else. read more

My roommates and I rented from Unif for a little over one year and it was a great experience. The company's owner, Eric, is very approachable and genuinely strives to provide a good service to his tenants. Our property manager, James, was also easy to reach and gladly took care of any maintenance we requested. Unif also provides each tenant with individual access to a secure website where rent and utilities can be paid via credit card. This made paying our bills extremely convenient; we never once had to write or mail a rent check. Simply put: if you are looking to rent in San Francisco, I highly recommend working with Unif. read more

Really loved the apartment I got through Unif, and Eric made it a breeze to get it. He helped us with applications, and he also helped us get it signed quickly right as we prepared to move out and were in a crunch. Simple payments, simple maintenance, and nice folk. Highly recommend Unif Inc. read more

I rented a flat from Erik for two years before I had to move out of the city for work. Erik and Unif were excellent landlords that handled all my issues promptly. I took the lease over from another tenant and due to a short sale I did not meet the standard credit requirements. Erik took into account that I had always paid my rent on time and had good references. He has always been friendly and reasonable. He even sent a gift basket every Christmas...what kind of landlord does that! read more

I was a master tenant at a 6br house managed by Unif from 2011 - 2014, and had a great experience with this management company. Rental payments were a breeze through their online portal, and lease signing was done through Docusign. Things like getting off the lease/deposit reassignment was an easy process. Response to maintenance issues were prompt (thanks James) when they needed to be (shower problems, etc). There were rent increases year over year, but that was to be expected in this hot SF market. They definitely made up for it with the remodeling of two of our bathrooms as well as the deck outside =) Overall, this is a very solid company and the landlord Eric was straightforward to work with. read more

I lived in an Unif property for over a year and had an outstanding experience with the Unif Team. Eric is an extremely professional landlord that really cares about the well-being of his tenants. His team is also excellent - they are super fast actioning on maintenance requests and always adapt to your needs. The online portal they use is super easy to use and intuitive. Thanks Eric, Allen, & team! read more

Had a perfect experience renting from the company for a year! They performed a ton of maintenance that really went above and beyond what was required right before we moved in. Eric was very flexible with subleasing and letting us run our own house which I extremely appreciated. He also sent us annual cookies which was awesome! The only downside is their policy of making applicants pay $40 to apply to rent a place and they do not refund that fee even if you end up renting. read more
