Vintage View Apartments

Be aware if you are a person who has always left your apartment squeaky clean when moving out you will be floored at the lengths Vintage View Development, LP and or, Cannon Management Corp. will go to to keep your security deposit. Cannon Management also sent an additional bill under threat of damaging my credit that included a Conservice (utility) bill that had previously been paid by bank draft. I am now in the processes of refilling out paperwork and will of sue Vintage View Development, LP — Cannon Management in Small Claims Court. Vintage View Development, LP owners name and office (owner is also an attorney) you can find online. Don’t use the 7131 Owensmouth Avenue #6-​D, Canoga Park address. It’s actually a small building PO Box business (Check it out on google street view). My demand letter was not picked up, but returned after a month unopened.
«Pro Rated paint and carpet cleaning charge» is a term Leslie, the office manager uses as a smoke screen to justify adding charges they may not (depending on the situation) have a legal right to keep. Vintage View arrogantly ignores the tenant protection laws of California. Did you sign a contract that said you must pay a PRO RATED paint-​carpet charge even if you know you have left the apartment in good condition. No, that term is not going to be in your contract because it is not legal.

Nice apartments while you live there, My son and I have lived there three times in the last twenty years. When you move out watch out-​they WILL cheat you on your cleaning deposit.
They have tried all three times

Been here a couple weeks and getting to know how things operate. Coming from a house to a two bedroom apartment is quite a change but things are going well. I really appreciate how friendly, organized and efficient Emily and Leslie are. I had to make many changes and they stayed on top of things and when it came time to move, they had everything done. I have had a couple little issues but the guys that maintain the property, Dale and Felix, fixed them and did a great job. So far, so good. I feel very good about the decision I made and hope to stay for a while.

Been here almost a year you can call the office they’ll fix any problem the next day the only thing is we were first time renters and didn’t know what to look for so our droors in the bathroom had writing on the sides (most likely from a child) so we didn’t notice, and the bath tub was painted poorly so when I washed it with a sponge it came out and our sink had a few dings that was painted more of a blue then white so we doubt we will see our deposit back. Other than that they are a great complex, very attentive and understanding. when my roommate got a new job that didn’t pay till the 5^th

In the few months that leave been here, things have gone wrong but they were very fast to fix the problem. Never had such a landlord be on top of everything. Really enjoy it here. Love the apartment and have sum pretty chill neighbors. Plan to stay a while hopefully. Great place to live!!!

I’ve found that many of the apartment complexes will do whatever they can to lure you in, and once the lease is signed, they are no longer attentive to your needs. I have all the confidence that Leslie and her team will go above and beyond to meet any realistic need of a tenant. Leslie is very personable and takes pride in making sure that the property is clean and that the needs of her tenants are met in a timely manner.

I don’t know where to begin here… this place is awful. I negotiated a 1 year lease and within 20 days I had to move because of my job. I found another renter to take over my lease and paid 4 months in advance with dated money orders.
Fast forward 16 months later and I am receiving a bill for thousands of dollars by Vintage View through a collection agency.
Do not… Do not… do business with these folks. Buyer beware…

Positive & negatives!
Me and my fiancé lives here on the bottom floor with our 1 year old. I love the fact the place is really small so I can hear anything my 1 year old is doing when I’m not in the room. The patio is closed off n the laundry Has door so the kids don’t get in there. So it’s a playroom for my son. Never had any problems with bugs except ants. The management is very nice and are willing to help. But are also very noisy so don’t leave your garage open.
Negatives:
The walls are so thin I can hear every conversation my neighbors are having and if they smoke or cook anything it comes straight inside my house from the vents. I could hear every time my neighbors make a bowel Movement (that’s how thin the walls our). Parking is ridiculous my neighbors have put up fights just to get a Parking. To even end the lease they pull every trick out the book so you will never see your deposit.
Lease to say when my lease is over I will not renew it. Nor ever again.

You don’t want to live here.

I was looking for the office number and ran by the reviews here. First I’d like to point out and remind the other reviews below
«It’s a apartment living» you live near others.
I love living here! It’s affordable, has a full size washer and dryer, nice indoor patio area with beautiful views, gym, nice pool, the grounds are kept so nice by a very nice respectable company. Bbq areas, car wash area if you want to wash your own car.
The staff (Manager to the maintenance) are wonderful! I’ve had maybe two work orders placed in 6 months both issues resolved really fast.
The maintenance team they not only fix inside issues but as soon as our trash is picked up daily they are picking up the mess left behind! If someone moves out and places big items that the trash man won’t take they are so fast about removing it so it doesn’t make the area look trashy lol. They are awesome.
The location is perfect (near all the schools freeways, duck pond, sports park and Target shopping center)
The parking for guests is minimal but when you live in an apartment that is typically an issue.
You just have to take the good with the bad! Any place you decide to live is not going to be perfect! I love it here, not to mention I have a garage I lock my car in at night so I know my car won’t be messed with.
Keep up the great work Vintage View Staff you guys are awesome!

There was a death in these apartments in 2011. Google it. A little girl was killed by a TV falling on top of her and the management refuses to disclose which apartment it was in, which is ILLEGAL. California has a death disclosure law, stating that you must be made aware if someone died within three years of your move in date or must be told when asked if someone has passed in the residence. I asked and they would not tell me. If you want to live in an apartment where someone has died, then by all means move here.

Not a place to call home.
Paper thin walls you can hear the neighbors whole conversation while their in there own apartment you can also hear them snoring at night and neighbors using their own bathroom! I felt like I was living in the same aparment as my neighbors. I stayed here for a year and felt like I had to tip toe around my own house! The floors creaks with carpet and these apartments aren’t cable ready. I had no cable in my room so I never got to put a tv in my room just the living room. Both rooms were always freezing when I put the heater on, only place that got heat was the living room. Bathroom always have a fan when u turn on the light switch so if you use the bathroom at night, better use the bathroom with the lights off so u don’t wake ur significant other and neighbors up. Also forget about having guests over, noise complaints are called all the time! Also, The only lighting you get in the house is a little window in the corner in the front and natural light has to come thru the indoor patio to the sliding door just to get some light inside, so we basically lived in a bat cave and always had to have the lights on to seem like it’s day light still. Also the kitchen has no pantry, limited storage, no microwave, dated appliances & the an exhaust system that is the weakest exhaust system ever! Forget cooking all the time ur smoke detector will always go off. Say goodbye to ur deposit, Not to mention the ridiculous over charge when you move out. I had to pay for new carpet when I left which I found ridiculous cause the carpet wasn’t even new and with numerous amounts of stains & I had to pay for it? Amongst the other charges? Totally unfair charges but they don’t care.
Do yourself a favor, find home somewhere else!

This apartment complex is the worst place to live in. The building wall is paper thin, you can hear hear your neighbor snore at night and if you live on bottom floor you can hear your ceiling squeak like dinausour looking for food. Parking space is biggest problem, not enough space for all the tenants to park. You have to park on the street at your own risk. In my case my car was towed away and costs me almost $ 600 which manager here don’t give a crap about their tenants, all the care is your money after you sign the lease. So AVOID THiS APARTMENT don’t make mistake like I did as I regreted.

This is the worst place I have ever lived. Unfortunately, my husband and I were foolish enough to sign a lease, and we are now stuck here until March of next year!
There are a few reasons why you should re-​consider moving into this apartment complex.
1. Lack of parking. We have lived here since February and have yet to be given a parking space. As a result, we have been forced to either park on the street below the complex or park on the red curb next to our building. I have recieved annoying little «notes» from managment about parking on the red as well as notice from Black’s Towing, but I have no alternative. By the time I get home from work at 6, all of the available curb parking is taken. When I have parked below the complex in the past, my car as well as my husband’s truck have been broken into (stolen iPod and expesive tools) or keyed. Management is quick to crucify tenants for parking in «prohibited» spots, but slow to provide any sort of safe alternative.
2. Paper-​thin walls and ceilings. We live on the bottom floor of our building because my husband has a large safe that we could not move up a flight of stairs. What a mistake that was! Any time our neighbor above walks around, it sounds like Armageddon has arrived. If I have my music or TV at a REASONABLE volume, our neighbor to the side bangs on the walls like he/​she is just WAITING for someone to make a noise. We recieved «notes» from management about that as well. Sometimes I feel like send management a «note» for having built such shabby apartment buildings.
Honestly, there are no high points to this apartment complex. We chose it because it has a garage (one electrical outlet and no weather-​proofing so don’t store your valuables or important papers out there) which my husband needs as he works for himself, and because the rent was cheap.
If your motto is «Well, at least I’m not homeless», maybe you’ll appreciate this apartment. However, if you have any scruples about being treated like a hamster in a cage, being set up to have your vehicle towed, and being privy to all your neighbors’ various bowel movements, I suggest you keep moving right along. Don’t make the same mistake my husband and I have because believe you me: we will not be renewing our lease after it expires.

I lived here a few years ago and thought it was fine. We moved because our new neighbors were loud as hell and management didn’t even try to fix it. But we had a garage and washer and dryer on our patio which was legit. I liked the location too…

The manager of the complex is rude and disrespectful. They are quick to put notices on your door but slow to make repairs or respond to issues. Worst place I have ever lived. Stay away!
