Unkind property Manager

by Marlacarla

One night I came home from work and had ten minutes to change and get to class. Well one of my neighbors was in my spot and I had to circle the block to find somewhere to park. I called Apex and left a message asking them to ask that person to stick to their own space. The head property manager (I think it was Sil, could have been Phil...) Left a message on my phone the next morning. He called me rude 3 times, said I didn't care about other people, and that "everyone at Apex can't wait until I move out and go live someplace else". What he doesn't know is that I already signed a new lease for a different Apex building ( and everyone ELSE has always been really nice and friendly, and very helpful). I really hope this guy leaves me alone. Who needs to be treated like that? In the past, they have also rewired my bathroom without telling me, leaving a mess and moving my belongings. When I called about that, the same mean guy told me there was nothing I can do, and didn't not even pretend to care. They should fire him, the company would be better off.

• Pros: nice buildings
• Cons: very unkind property manager

Apex property management

I sublet a property managed by APEX from Dec 2005 - May 2006. After I left I still received phone calls about "my" animals or maintenance on "my" residence. After a year of these calls, after each one I called APEX back telling them to stop calling me I don't live there, I went into the office. apparently, that is the only way they can begin to listen to you. I found out that they had re-signed my name to the new lease without my knowing, not the person who took over my room! How can that even happen without me there? I signed my name that I had moved out when I turned in my keys, and yet my name magically appeared on the new lease, therefore making me responsible for all the problems. They promised to fix it, blah blah blah, apex couldn't keep a promise if they knew how. Yesterday, 2 YEARS LATER, I received another call about "my" cat scratching other people's screen doors and "I" need to do something about it. conveniently everybody is out of the office when I call to get it taken care of, and the useless secretary is always extremely rude. I don't even live in Bellingham anymore, let alone their dump of a property! BEWARE!

• Pros: If the townhouse I lived in was 20 years newer it would have been nice. Or if it wasn't in the scary area of Northwest with meth-head neighbors.
• Cons: Everything about this company screams a con.

Bellinghams Worst!!

Phil, the main guy, plays king to all tenants and assumes they do not know their rights as tenants. Threats and evictions are common as are harassing phone calls.

1) My boyfriend was angery over a family matter and started yelling and getting upset. The tenant downstairs whom we had asked to keep her TV volume from "Can be heard across the street" to "Can be hear only in her unit" got it in her head that he was yelling at her through the floor. Next day she called APEX and says that my boyfriend had yelled at her and threatened her in a face to face convo. APEX proceeded to post a eviction notice, call my bf without knowing what REALLY happened and ordered him to apologize to the tenant.

2)The girl downstairs filed complains about noise at all hours of the night and on days that we weren't even in the unit. One night at 3 am we were sound alseep and she proceeded the beat the ceiling waking me up. I knocked on her door to tell her that we were asleep and it MUST be the people next to her since they share the bedroom wall. She wouldn't answer, I wrote a letter in regards to this fact and I forwarded it to APEX. This did no good and we were still accused of making noise 24/7 and during times when the unit was completely empty. I guess we had ghosts.

3) We finished our lease and cleaned the place. When the unit was inspected a hole in the sliding door screen was found and a blade on vertical blinds in front of the sliding door was 2 inches shorter then the rest. The screen was my fault. The blinds where that way when I moved in, I thought it was normal. Well I was charged for fixing both items. I knew the new tenant and went over to the unit a few months later. The screen still had a whole and the shorter blind was still there.

APEX assumed tenants don't know their rights, they try to bully and threaten their tenants and take money out of their deposit and pocket it with no intention of actually fixing the item in question.

Avoid this managment company.

• Pros: Can't think of any.
• Cons: Noise, No Amenities, false charges, eviction threats, not adhearing to landlord tenant laws.
