This is an "exit" review. I rented from KFR for almost 2 years (22 months). This was my first apartment in San Diego after moving across the country from Miami, FL. Jaime showed me the apartment, looked over my application, and had my lease ready within two days because I was in town for a short period prior to moving for the purpose of looking for housing. The process of signing the lease and renting was as smooth as it could've ever been.
Once I was all set up, I moved in! The location was amazing for the price and everything about my experience was great. Paying rent was online and super painless. Maintenance requests were fulfilled almost always the next day. And if I had any questions about the lease or the property, my emails were always responded to quickly with answers. Jaime and Rachel are always willing to help. I moved out of my apartment for a larger place.
Because I was looking for a good deal I had to break my lease. Jaime and Rachel helped me figure out my options and allowed me to transfer my lease. The entire process was painless! I would definitely rent from KFR again.
