Stop taking peoples money and giving them nothing in return, your company is out to lie to the consumer you should scout out more properties to manage and have something to offer when some one is looking for housing, to have a legitimate property before you take money knowing you can't rent one property to several people that's how you pay your employees

Real Property Management will allow you to live in Mold and Ant infestation, they tell you it's your fault and pay for it yourself, or they to blame you for a 20 year mold issue when you'veonly lived here 3 years. They will take all of your deposit even if you've hired professional cleaners. They allow other tenants to harrass you and up to 14 people in a 2 bedroom apartment during the pandemic.
They threaten to evict you and ruin your credit if you don't stop taking pictures and videos of damages done. Do not rent from them unless you want to lose things like your smile, your security, your good credit, and your deposits, then still have your credit taken to collections. Don't believe me. Read the official reviews that cannot be paid to be taken down.

If you want good property management, responsive maintenance staff and reasonable allowances AVOID RPM. I was charged a cleaning fee because they found a hair in the bathroom, water in the sink and dirt in the window track. When I moved it it took them 6 weeks to address the slider that won't open fully and a refrigerator that had so many broken parts it wasn't usable. So they are quick to penalize you for minor things but VERY VERY slow to fix any problem you have.

I tried to Real Property Management to get a house in one of the hottest markets in CA. They had me pay 50 per app as there were 3 of us: myself, wife and daughter(18yrs). They took forever to respond and they would come back asking for more info more than once. I have a great credit score and make well over the required salary requirements yet they took weeks to work on the apps for the house. After over 2 weeks of calls, emails and waiting we couldn't wait and found another place.
I asked for a refund since they never came back telling us we were approved or not. Of course they said no. Their service was not professional and if you're a property owner, I would not use them as I'd think you'd want to fill your empty property as soon as possible. We found a better place so we're good but i feel for the owners.
