GBAbsolutely RUN. This is not a property management company, this is a call center with no follow through Absolutely RUN. This company is a SCAM doing the absolute bare minimum to keep collecting fees. Majority of the company is based in the Philippines and does not know the first thing about property management or the local markets they're operating in. Unfortunately, they purchased my PM and I wanted to give them a chance to iron out the kinks before running, but this is a dumpster fire. Most of the bids I got from them were wildly over the top for the job needed, and they'd typically tell me they couldn't get an alternative bid. I've now learned that this is because so few respectable vendors will work with them after not being paid for jobs that the vendors who will work with them are not necessarily the A squad.. After approving a bid, I would have to follow up for weeks or even months to see if anything had been done (even for massively urgent hazardous issues.. which I'm positive caused a long term tenant to move out). Multiple times major items took so long to get started or to get an appropriate bid, I ended up having to handle it myself (ie. roof replacement, unit turns, etc.) You have to audit all of their accounting because inevitably late fees will change every statement, utilities are sometimes billed back (or not at all in the case of one of my properties.. resulting in ~$2000 in unpaid utilities), and god speed if you have a delinquent tenant. Reporting is terrible and full of errors, so if there is an issue, you won't find out til it's too late. The tenant screening process seems non-existent, and they have no problem blatantly lying to you (my final straw before finding new management). This company has lost me thousands. I've never posted a rant like this, but I feel very passionately about telling anyone who will listen to stay away from Poplar Homes / OneRent.

GBI’m currently looking for somewhere… I’m currently looking for somewhere else to live as we speak. I’ve been living at my current residence for 7 years , poplar homes took over last year. I thought it would be a good thing because I could finally make online payments. And this personally been a “crap” show. Unresponsive workers, everyone is clueless and you have to repeat your issue a million times. Unknown charges being added to the rent. AND PLEASE KEEP ALL OF YOUR MONEY ORDERS /serial number recipes. I have one that shows cashed and they keep saying they didn’t receive it. Scammers I wouldn’t recommend rent somewhere else please.

GBAs a tenant, avoid 2 stars because paying rent online is nice (though expected of a property management company at this point). Besides that, poplar is generally terrible to work with from a tenant perspective. They are slow to respond to work orders, hard to coordinate with, and nearly impossible to talk to on the phone. I personally will avoid renting from a poplar managed home in the future.

GBLease Renewal Paul did a good job getting the lease renewal completed quickly. Thanks Paul! I would hope though that this process would be more automatic/ initiated by Poplarhomes rather than the owner having to reach out to move the process along. I was told this was supposed to be done within the 90 period before lease expires but No one reached out to me. I had to contact Poplarhomes myself.

GBThis company is THE WORST This company is THE WORST! Poplar purchased a management company that I used for over 10 years. Immediately things went downhill fast. Their accounting is confusing on owner statements and full of errors. You can't get straight answers from them and you will get charged fees for 11+ months when you remove properties from management. Unresponsive and unprofessional. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
