Swami International

Maintenance department is ridiculous. I’ve been leaving messages for them for 7 months about mold in my closet ceiling from a leaking pipe. Always getting the run around with these guys. Ceiling looks like it’s about to collapse. I’ve even sent pictures of it and they won’t do anything about it. Moving out soon. Steer clear of these guys.

Lol they denied me! I’ve never in my life been denied an apartment! But I guess it just wasn’t meant for me to live in there cheap low budget properties anyway. They only qualify u if u Mexican

My feelings are so hurt right, I feel so disappointed. My job left out of California, working for a private industry there really nothing stable. However I was able to get a permanent stable job working for the government. Here I am homeless, now that I have the funds to be able to afford rent on my own! I called Swami International, the young lady whom help me have great customer service, moving forward I was email the application and it states if you have not been on your current employer for 6 months, to provide PREVIOUS JOB INFO, I did and now they saying they have the decline to accept me, due to the fact I have not been on the current job for 6 months. I feel discriminated against, I have proof that I am permanent on my new job, proof of income and that still did not mean anything. I do not understand the point of asking of my previous job. I ask if I can speak to upper management and felt that was ignore, ask why on application it ask about prior job, cannot get a direct answer. So now I’m left to still hunt an apt, and still sleep from friends’ house to my car again. Seems like no one wanted to help me. 213 841 5621 I have been on new job since July 2015

Their rental agreements are ridiculous. The on site managers of each listing never call you back. They have great listings but need some customer service work.

This company is disorganized. They towed my vehicle without notice. When I moved in I was assigned 2 parking spaces then I was told my vehicle got towed because it looked like it had been «vandalized» however my spouse had been in an accident and instead of them notifying Me They placed a Note on the car stating that it must be moved out of my parking stall. It does not state this on the contract, and instead of them notifying Me they placed this note on the vehicle then towed it and stated they didn’t know who the car belong too and that they towed it. I then explain to them that previous management assign me those spaces otherwise how would I know WHERE TO PARK MY VEHICLES AT!!! They stated they had No Records and that I must pay all expenses. The previous manager didn’t write it down and it’s my problem. Lauren doesn’t know how to handle situations and wants to hang up other than coming up with a solution, she is incompetent and the manager of the building. Currently looking for another place more functional and professional.

Have lived in our complex for almost 5 years now and can’t wait to move. Our manager LaTanya at Cedar Glen Apartments is an angry woman who doesn’t know the meaning of customer service. Why manage property if you don’t enjoy working with people and wish they would leave you alone with their legitimate complaints? And don’t bother complaining to the supervisors when the property managers don’t do their job, they don’t seem to care.
One warning if you do decide to move here — make sure they give you 30 days WRITTEN notice when they change the lease terms. 3 times now they’ve tried changing things by simply telling us and having it go into effect immediately. NOPE! We had to tell them we know our rights and that it’s ridiculous that the property manager doesn’t since that’s a part of her job description.
As for maintenance– for a long time it was hard to get them to make timely repairs but once the health department got involved thanks to another tenant, repairs here are no problem at all. Shame it had to take all that though.
Bottomline — if you need a cheap place to stay while you save up for a car or down payment on a condo or house then their properties will do the job. Just know what you’re getting into before you sign the lease.

Swami has the worst manager I have ever spoken too… I recently moved back here, I use to live here 14 yrs ago when they had an Amazing manager, she was wonderful always helpful and cared about the tenants. Well, now that I had to come back bcs I lost my house it has been the worst experience ever. The manager tells me that I am the only person that complains there, bcs I am constantly telling them there are cockroaches! Well, I am sorry that I like a clean place! He is always Rude, loves to argue with tenants and isn’t professional at all… My son’s bike was stolen this morning, because there gates and metal front door is are constantly getting stuck and breaking so any outside thief’s can come in. WORST UNPROFESSIONAL PERSON I HAVE EVER SPOKEN TOO!!! HAS NO BUSINESS BEING A MANANAGER!!! I SURE MIS THE MANAGER THAT WAS THERE 14YRS AGO!!!

I must admit I was unsatisfied with the service for a while. however, during the last few months there has been significant improvement in the maintenance at my complex… I am satisfied with their services

They raise rent by ridiculous increments and don’t repair anything.
They sent me 2 eviction notices claiming that I didn’t pay my rent, yet my bank account showed that the checks had already cleared within the first week of the month.
I’ve never in my life been late paying rent.
I thought Property Management Associates would be better once they took over, but they’re even worse.

Swami international is a horrible property management company. They make it too obvious that all they care about is money. Also due to the staffs incompetence, they blame their short comings on company policy. My family recently moved out of one of their properties, and instead of someone simply asking who the deposit check refund should be made out to, they issued one check to everyone who was on the lease. This means that for anything to be done, all the parties included on the check should be present! Which is a challenge coordinating schedules. Also, not sure why there isn’t a copy of the deposit check in our lease file, which will show who made the payment. Either way, should hope to never rent any of their properties ever again!

Not sure if all their apartments are like mine but from the only one other review sounds a whole lot like my situation. I thought going with a management company property would be better, and they would be more professional and timely about getting things done. NOPE… apartments are cheaply repaired, they dont care to repair anything quickly you have to constantly call/​email and bug them. Its ridiculous. 7 months into my lease a repair I have been nagging to get done has not, when your paying a grand a month you expect some service, but dont from Swami they dont give a $#%@

The worst place to rent from there policies are crazy, they investigate all your previous rentals and verify your income, then use corelogics to run your credit and corelogics is some rental credit profile company similar to a credit bureau. Swami doesn’t work with you, they tell you to contact Corelogics which is a 877# and again you have to treat them like there a credit bureau. There apartments are nice, but its unprofessional the steps they take just to rent an apartment. I was able to get a place less than 24 hours from Marby Management.
