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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
