Customer ReviewsforDobler Management Company

Their *********** Apartments Property in ****** is rodent infested, and the corporate office has been allowing harassment and have been over charging me for rent. I have had the same lease for 4 years and they have increased the rent twice. They have threatened my tenancy and **** im not allowed to speak to the Property manager and that I must submit all my issues in writing and to the corporate office. These people are extremely indirect and unprofessional and it's a shame that they own as many properties out here as they do.

Moving goalposts with rental criteria. In my own experience I applied for an apartment that I met their stated rental criteria for only to have them **** up the rent almost immediately after I applied. The rent payment listed on their site and on the application do not match. The manager or their representative, whoever I was talking to, asked for more paystubs from me because by their calculations I did not make 3x the rent per month. I will leave to the reader to decide if ******** per month is 3 times ********. Then the goalposts moved again to based off my year to date income. So I sent in paystubs from my previous employer where I had a slightly higher hourly wage than my current one. But somehow I still didnt qualify. Then the manager or their representativeagain not entirely sure who Im talking to at any given momentattempted to sell me on a different apartment which wouldnt be available until 5 days after the move in date for the apartment I had originally applied for. And I quoteYou cant just stay with friends or family until then? Office staff who was answering the phones was also extremely unhelpful. A lot of one word answers and long silences. There was one who I talked to once that actually seemed to know or care what was going on, however regarding everyone else this was not the case. Needless to say I will not be ************ and I would strongly recommend against anyone else doing so.

This review leaves out opinions and reports the facts that have been uncovered through investigation. This property Management company engages in predatory renting. When I moved in, they let me sign a 9 month lease. At that time, they told me I would be able to sign another long term lease after the initial lease expired. However, when my 9 month lease expired they told me they didn't offer long term leases anymore. So my rent was raised $50 per month and I was now "month to month." Fast forward 4 months, rent has been increased again, another $60 (without explanation). So that is a total of $110 rent increase in 4 months. I have talked to other tenants and everyone I have spoken with are in a similar situation; some people experienced as many as 4 rent increases in the past 8 months. In every case, the tenant I spoke to was not allowed to sign a long term lease.

Dobler Management manages several properties throughout Tacoma. Their offices are never open even though they claim to have office hours **** and 3-6. The office staff (if they truly exist) do not return phone calls.When you are lucky enough to connect with an on-site staff member, you are never told if there is truly an apartment available. They tell you there might be an apartment, however to be considered you must fill out on-line application and pay the non-refundable $60 screening fee. They always state first come, first served.I've yet to meet a staff member in person at any of their properties. Very poorly managed. Read the ****** reviews. That should tell you all that you need to know.
