They give the owners to much leverage They give the owners to much leverage. Poplar is managing the rental property on their behalf, so the owner should only have a say so in, whether or not they agree to allow a tenant to renew a lease. But Poplar allows the owners to determine the renewal increase amount, which in our case our owners want to go up $300 for another year lease which is ridiculous. Poplar should determine the increase rates based on each states guidelines. Otherwise they have not been too bad to deal with.

This 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.

Lease 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.

Good Maintenance Experience We had a variety of minor issues around the apartment. Althea was very helpful arranging for peole to come and fix them, and is super fast at responding to emails when we had questions. The maintenance person was very professional, fixed what could be fixed, and explained what still needed a follow up. We have been able to get everything handled, though sometimes the online form to submit issues is clunky. Not every room is covered, and there is a 200 character limit on providing info which can make it hard to describe anything unusual. But once we are able to email back and forth with the staff it goes more smoothly.

Been renting with this janky company… Been renting with this janky company for 7 months & every month I’ve put in maintenance request for the same issues. THEY/ THE OWNER LITERALLY REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUES!! WE HAVE NO LIGHTS IN OUR MASTER BATH!! Each month they send out different electric vendor hoping for a cheaper estimate.. we’ve had 5 different vendors come to “evaluate the problem” TF!!!! 7 MONTHS WITHOUT LIGHTS!!! THIS COMPANY IS TRASH!!!
