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.

Trash Company and Service Same as everyone else. cannot get a response. They confirmed rent increase in November but somehow collected incorrect rent for 3 months. No one wants to pay me the back rent. Breach of contract.

I’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.

Ben in Poplar Homes Accounting Does An Outstanding Job Ben in Poplar Homes Accounting does an outstanding job! He responds quickly and thoroughly and follows through to make sure his clients receive the type of service that they expect. As an example of how Ben responds, last month I was very critical of how Poplar Homes handled the rent transfer payment and told Ben I expected to receive this payment in 5 days or less. This month, with Ben’s follow through, the payment was received in two days! That’s great service, Thank you Ben!

As 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.
