Get away from this dishonest management company It’s a dishonest and unprofessional management business. It’s was a nightmare during my property under their managed.

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.

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.

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.

NO REFUND FOR YOU! We vacated our apartment on the 19th day of the month but Poplar collected from their auto-pay the entire month's rent. I contacted them and they promised that the excess rent we paid will be refunded. When no refund came, I started calling them. Each time they responded that someone will get in touch but no return calls ever came. I also sent emails but no response. DO NOT EVER RENT AN APARTMENT MANAGED BY POPLAR!
