Powley Properties

Powley Properties is great. Can not rate them highly enough!

Terrible. The worst biz services company I’ve ever done business with. They’ll take your money, to move in and after that, you will be ignored. I’ve had 3 things that needed fixing over the last 8. months I’ve lived in my current rental. None were fixed or fixed correctly. They are definitely landlord oriented and help them hang onto their money. You as a tenant are an inconvenience. Avoid like the plague. You’ve been warned.

After much frustration I got all of my deposit back, and I am happy to be rid of Powley for good!

Wow, well I guess I should not be surprised to see all the other reviews are such poor reviews.
Bottom line here is simply find another realtor; these people are UN-​professional, and with all the realtors in the South Bay, you have lots of choices.
I had an appointment today to look at a house and the gal from there even contacted us just a few hours prior, only to no-​show. After calling to find out where she was, her husband showed up with no apology and really couldn’t have cared that we and another couple had been waiting for almost an hour. I guess communication can be tough within a ‘Ma-​Pa’ type operation.

I rent from them, now, as I write this review. They are the WORST I have ever come in contact with. SLUMLORDS! They should all be hauled off to a Thailand prison camp and left to rot!
The apartment I moved into was tore up. I did all the work to it myself to get it «move in ready» once they gave me the keys to move in. Then I discovered it was infested with fleas. The pros had to come out and spray twice to rid the problem. They also had to give me 2 weeks of my rent back, because it was unliveable. Filth and dirt everywhere. Cat hair stuck to the grime on the windows, screens, stove, the sinks were black, the bathroom sink was falling off the wall, they had to replace that. Now, I have an electrician here to ground the wire at the panel box because the water and fixtures in the shower were causing an electric shock when you tried to make any adjustments to your temp or pressure. These people should be jailed. Do yourself a favor… DON’T DEAL WITH POWLEY, THEY ARE SLUMLORDS! Find yourself another landlord.

It has taken me a while to getting around to writing this. The apartment we rented from them was the worst living experience over. They were completely unprofessional. We had put in a notice to our old place ready so needed an apartment immediately. Unfortunately, we moved into a property of theirs in San Pedro. Upon moving in, the apartment was completely filthy, broken toilet seat, grease filled old oven, spider webs, holes in the screens, I could go on. One evening during our first week there, we discovered the apartment had a bed bug infestation!!! I was devastated. It happened on a weekend and the property management company was not able to reach. By Monday I was losing mind. Once I contacted them, it didn’t seem to be on their list of priorities. I practically had to threaten them with the public health department and they had man come out to spray. We had to rove everything, wash all clothing, dry shoes in dryer and leave for 24 hours it was a total inconvenience. I was also 7 months pregnant. This place was trash. It was a learning experience for us and thank god we are no longer there. I feel it is my duty to let future renters know about this. Careless, rude, not professional. I would highly recommend not renting here.

Extremely disappointing.
Found an ad on Craigslist for an apartment listed by Powley. We took the time to drive over and look at the unit. We called the number listed in front of the building.
We were told that we’d need to «come to our offices and get the keys for a $ 20 deposit». The office is no where near the property we were interested in. However, we made the trip, picked up the keys and went back to see the property.
The unit itself was in dire need of upgrades and attention. It did have potential and we were interested.
My cousin returned the keys and asked the lady at the front desk what their plans were to get the apartment ready for move in. She said they were going to clean the carpets. That’s it?
There was a plethora of fixes but the woman on the opposite end of the conversation didn’t seem to have a n interest in the items brought to her attention.
After reading everyone else’s comments about Powley, we are going to move on and give up on the idea of the apartment. I’m too nervous that nothing will get the attention it needs.

If i could give «0» stars i would!
So I read reviews about this place and decided what the heck I’ll still give them a try. Mainly because they had the perfect place we were looking for.
I was still a little sketchy going into the deal though.
First off, I call them about the place I was interested in and they were only able to answer 1 out of 5 standard questions that you would normally ask when looking into renting a place. I would think they should know these things since they are managing the property. They didn’t even offer to find the information out and get back to me.
Second, every time I called they were rude and made me feel like I was asking dumb questions and was bothering them by asking about things like: utilities, repairs, pet policy, etc.
Third, we agreed on certain terms that worked out for us and once we gave them the deposit said they never agreed upon any of it. My roommate was with me who confirmed they agreed upon the terms as well, but according to them we were both delusional !!!
They wouldn’t even fix a pantry shelf that was broken nor repaint a door that was all chipped!!! It was ridiculous!!! They wouldn’t work with us on the smallest things…
I had it with these people and how unhelpful, and unprofessional they were acting with us!!! I decided to forfit the place because of their horrible customer service!
I went back to collect my deposit and all of the sudden they were all so sweet and willing to workout the terms we originally agreed upon!!! by this time I was so frustrated, I couldn’t stand the thought of dealing with them at all! So I took the deposit and stormed out!!!
We found a place that was much cheaper, bigger, and pays 2 out of 3 of the utilities they wouldn’t pay! And the landlord was patient with our questions and as professional as you would expect she should be!
Take my advice, keep looking for that perfect match between property and landlord because u will be dealing with them for all payments and repairs that might occur on your property.
Go with real professionals and not someone trying to make a quick sale!!!
Avoid powley management at all costs!!!

It seems we have leased an apartment from the devil himself. We needed a place in a bit of a hurry and got totally taken advantage of by Powley. The (pet free) apartment is currently infested with fleas and ants to the point where they have to fumigate the entire structure forcing my pregnant wife and I into the streets with less than 24 hours notice. We asked to have our lease modified earlier today so that we could gracefully leave and rent another apartment. They refused to work with us and threatened to sue us if we break the lease. The other big problem is that right after we moved in the gas company inspected the apartment and declared the system unsafe leaving us with out heat for months. Powley won’t return phone calls or answer maintenance request. I also found out they are overcharging us for our garage in a rent controlled area. Do yourself a favor and rent from a reputable company or a private owner not Powley.

I have had a terrible expirience renting from these people I not only do not recommend it I highly advise to stay away. I know that living in a place that is never repaired on top of having to deal with poor custumer service from the owner. I can not say the say for the front office since they have been as helpful as they could.

Lost my lease agreement. Never fixed anything. Extremely rude staff. Rent from them only if you like being frustrated and living without basic amenities.
