Partner and I checked out a place for rent, a microscopic studio worth 1400, with a reputable agent from the management who was sent to guide us and show us around. We were looking for a 6-month lease, and were assured SEVERAL TIMES that this particular studio would be available for that time period. He even double checked with the landlord and let us know we were good to go. Agent sent us a link to the application form, which charged the two of us $100 in total. 10 days later, we get no response, and proceeded to call the management, only to be told that the studio will not be given to us for

As a prospective renter, I was very excited to tour one of the properties managed by CPM. At first, they were responsive and helpful for setting up the tour, responded quickly when I submitted my application for the lease, and were generally helpful throughout the application process.
However, the reason I am giving them two stars is because after not being chosen for the rental property (unfortunate but it happens, not a big deal), I have had a ton of trouble trying to get back the cashiers check I had to give them for the first months rent as a part of the application process. I understand wanting

I downgrade from three stars. They couldn't fix our ongoing bathroom issue (for months) and we later found out didn't have ANY copy of our lease that they acquired from our previous landlord (aka just assuming things about our rent and lease). Pretty much any issue we had, they wouldn't respond or respond poorly, and only contact us when looking to get something from us. Based on the other negative replies here, I can expect a response from CPM on par with my experiences.

Cannot recommend this company. From the reviews, it's clear they do their best to protect property owners, but unfortunately that comes at the expense of preying on tenants who may not know their rights. Columbia took over management of our apartment after we had been there for some time, and immediately we saw signs of this predatory behavior. (This in no way is a reflection of our contact Teasa, who migrated to Columbia and was always responsive and up-front).
1. Columbia refused to provide official documentation of the management transition. Despite my efforts to proactively confirm before

Profesional, responsive, good value! I rented an apartment with CPM for eleven months in Washington DC. Perfect location, in Foggy Bottom, near Potomac River Walking Path and a few bloks away from the White House. I moved to DC from Europe and I was extremely excited to be able to move in the apartment just two or three days after applying - so quick!. Everything was excellent during the entire stay in the apartment. Scott Blum and his team were very responsive. I was extremely happy that I was able to extend the rent for another month, as I was not able to move out at the date scheduled originally

I have been working with CPM as a landlord for more than 10 years. Scott and his team are exceptional and try to do their best for both landlords and tenants. My experience has been that they work hard to resolve issues, deliver value for landlords, and find ways to be caring and responsive to tenants. I would highly recommend this group if you are a landlord.

Hello, I wanted to write a review of Columbia Property Management. We have been tenants at one of their properties for the past 5 years and I have nothing but positive things to say. I will just give you a snippet of the good things that have happened. One week after our newborn was brought home our fridge would not close and seal; on a Sunday night they sent over a technician who fixed it immediately. Over the summer our air conditioner was leaking (this was during 100+ heat indices), again on a weekend, they sent a technician over who was professional and fixed our problem immediately. Every
