GBQuick response and seamless interactions They took over the leasing management. Renewal was timely, easy, and stress free. I've had a couple of maintenance issues, they responded extremely quickly. On that note, the owner has always been prompt and considerate as repairs are ultimately up to the owner. I saw a lot of complaints in these reviews that really have nothing to do with the management. If you feel you aren't treated fairly, I suggest you hire a real estate agent when rental hunting and assign them as your mediator. Your experience will change dramatically with a realtor as they typically screen their clients first and landlords and prop management companies know this.

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.

GBI own 1969 Fashion Ave I own 1969 Fashion Ave, Long Beach, CA, 18 units. I have received no notice from Poplar Homes, but my renters are notified to pay their rent to a dropbox. Phone calls to my management company, Action Management, are no longer answered. There is no one to call to ask what is happening. This sounds like a scam and will be reported as such this Friday, March 17th unless I here from some verifiable reliable source.

GBBen 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!

GBThey 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.
