I've lived in San Diego for the past 8 years, and I've had a ton of different management companies and independent landlords.
It's REALLY hard to find a combination of landlords who are responsive, helpful, and willing to quickly pay for things when they break.
At my last apartment, the landlord would fight tooth-and-nail for replacing or fixing anything. He would be slow to respond and rarely fix things. In the case of other landlords, they would be responsive and fast... but they would cheap out on the quality of work.
CPM is one of the best management companies I've ever

Daniella has been an amazing property manager so far! I love my time at Sunny Creek, and this is partly because of her! She's so helpful, and willing to put all of her residents first. Whenever I see her in passing, she always sparks up a short, personable convo. All maintenance requests are quick to get fixed. Daniella ensures that all tenants are up to date will all things Sunny Creek.

Christie and Ana the property managers were very helpful and friendly, I do not recommend Ashley, she had a bad attitude and always seemed like you were bothering her in some way. The maintenance men always did good work however and I never had any issues with the property itself. So in conclusion it could be a good experience depending on who your property manager is and what property it is.

Terribly poor service to landlords and prospective tenants. Not a good faith effort on the part of Chamberlain Property Management. They will accept applications and application fees for a particular property of course but will not present your application to the landlord, if there is an application in front of you. So you will pay your application fee for no reason and waste your time!!! They will refuse to credit you back your application fee.

I lived in Su Casa del Mar from 2020-2021. I had a great experience there with mangement. They are a small family-feel company; however, they are on top of buisness and do not have the unprofessional issues small family-business may be plagued with. Michelle was our first property manager and she was one of the best PM's I had. Very accomidating and knew how to balance hospitality and enforcement. You need both. MaryBeth took over as property manager shortly after and she did a great job running the property. Very responsive and takes her work seriously with pride of ownership. I have nothing ill

For wondering renters these people are not the good communicators. From experience and reading several other real renters reviews they had bad experience with communication. And shady cover ups. Near 0 responses were made to the renters. Though if u complain long and hard enough maybeee they will do something about your issues but at least their maintenance is fair

We rent at Villa De Laura with Chamberlain Property Management. We can honestly say this has been the best experience we have ever had with our apartment community. It is so well taken care of by Our Property Manager Jim and and our Maintenance Team leader Enrique, they go above and beyond making sure this Property Is maintained at the highest level. Jim gently keeps all the residents in the loop of whatever is going on, from, timely rent reminders, to street cleaning, to allow his parking space to be used if we have a guest to our home, he also personally shows up when our toilet plugs up, a smell

This review is for the Mauna Loa apartments on in Oceanside and Saray B. I stayed there for 17 months. The amount of rent I paid was a great value for the size and location of my apartment. It was an older building, but just before I moved in, my apartment had just been renovated, so it felt new. I had few issues with the property, and the couple times I did put in a maintenance request, Saray ensured it was completed in a timely manner and let me know what day/time the contractor would enter my apartment. During one point in time, I put in a notice of vacating the property, but due to factors

Chamberlain managed a townhouse that I owned in San Marcos for 8 or so years. Ashley was the agent assigned to my property. I had a 100% no worries, hassle-free experience with her. She was very communicative and honest about any and all issues related to my townhouse. As an out-of-state owner, this was pretty important to me. Ashley took great care of both mine and my tenants' needs. Additionally, the monthly and annual financial statements simplified the accounting side of my life. I was vey pleased with everything Ashley and the team at Chamberlain did for me, right up until the day I sold my

5 stars and ask for Mark. Mark has been such a great property manager to work with. Im a general contractor and a vendor that works for many management companies. I highly reccomend Mark and Chamberlain property management as Mark communicates, documents everything, cares about the properties he manages, and it shows. Mark takes the time and meets us at properties when something has gone wrong at a property while many other property management companies just send a work order, mark and his team actually manage the property and go out to the properties. Thank you Mark and I highly recommend

I use Chamberlain Property Management for tenant placement for my home, and to oversee the move-out process. I manage the property myself. This is the second time I've used them, and I had worked with Vickie both times. Each time she has exceeded expectations! She is balanced and fair, for both owner and tenant. It's great when you have absolute trust and confidence in your agent. I've worked with numerous property managers over the years for two homes I own, and Chamberlain has by far been the most professional and capable company.

Had an electrical issue with my apartment this year after some absurdly high utility bills. The electrician told me that CPM had the best out of any property manager that they've dealt with.
100% agree with the assessment. CPM are extremely professional and operate with a lot of integrity. I've been living in Su Casa Del Mat for about a year and am pleased with how they've managed things. Rent has stayed very fair.

Forced to move during the covid pandemic under the guise that the “owner” wanted to move back into the house, only to find out it was a lie. This was the only way the owner could raise the rent by over 20%. We paid our rent on time every month for 3.5 years and our ability to pay was not compromised during any time. What a scam!
Backpedaling out of this situation will not cover up the lies which cause so much stress and unnecessary large expenses that were incurred because of greed in both your part and the owner. If the owner was truly occupying the home, there would be furniture in the house

We rented a property managed by Chamberlain for 7 years and had a wonderful experience. Our property manager Ashley was always responsive, ensured all maintenance requests were followed-up & completed in a timely manner, and always kept us aware with planned annual inspections, lease renewals, and other matters that required entry into the house. The Chamberlain office staff was also professional and courteous; and their website tenant portal is easy to navigate and made auto-pay & lease renewals a breeze.

This is specific to Lime Grove Apartments though does additionally speak of Chamberlain Property Management:
This is a really great apartment community. It is quite a friendly group of people who live here.
The manager, Sue, and her husband, Rusty, are absolutely fantastic! They are really friendly, they truly take care of this community, and they ensure the safety and enjoyment of the complex for everyone. It is a really great place to be able to come back to, relax, and enjoy the coastal location.
The property management company, Chamberlain Property Management, is awesome as well

Was interested in leasing one of their properties in Vista, CA. But they simply cannot be reached. I exhausted all available contact methods and never got any call or message back. They require far too many hoops to jump through just to make the request. I did all that then nothing. No way to see the property, no wonder clients are saying their property never gets rented with this group!! This has got to be the laziest property management company I have encountered. I waited 6 days (4 business days) after reaching out to to them (about multiple properties) before posting this review. Ironically

Do not hire this company to manage your property they will take your money and never rent your property! My husband's home has been on the rental market for months! We have not received calls regarding potential renters, they make their own rental rules without consulting us! Finally we looked at their google reviews on how they treat tenants! Your liable of getting sued! HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A MORE UN-PROFESSIONAL AND DELUSIONAL STAFF IN MY life. The approach that vikki took as to attack me instead of listen to her colleagues wrongdoing was despicable.

If its honesty and integrity that your company serves, it would serve you to get a straight answer from your staff to be upfront about dropping the ball and providing misleading and incorrect information. It was overall a waste of valuable time to get a unit on the market with the right company and I didn't feel the need to waste anymore as I did here.
For yelpers, it would be of value to read all the reviews, especially the current ones and you can decide for yourself. This has been my experience and opinion and you will see that many of my reviews weigh heavily on overall customer service

I miss the old management. They do great at hiring people who do very little and provide no answers. They love money and love to waste time. And they also love to increase rent, but not get any amenities to justify the rent increase.
I don't know who decided to put them all over Carlsbad, but I'm more than ready for them to go

I was fortunate enough to find a great apartment complex managed by CPM when I first moved to California almost five years ago. Living here has been a pleasure and I've been treated fairly at every turn.
Our manager, Susan, has always addressed any issues that have come up quickly and has been willing to work with me on any problems that arose over my tenancy here. The property is well maintained, Jaime has always been quick and efficient when performing any necessary maintenance within the apartment.
Based on my experience over the past few years, I'd be happy to recommend living

I've had a great experience with Chamberlain. They have managed the place I live in for a few years without any problems. They are responsive to maintenance requests and the property is maintained well. I like that I can pay rent online instead of using checks and our manager Nicole is always super nice. They are so much easier to work with than the previous company that managed the property, I'm really glad they took it over.
