The Laurel Company has been managing our rental (single family home in Santa Barbara) for more than 20 years. During that time they have provided complete full-service property management, including advertising vacancies, interviewing prospective tenants, and completing leases. They have recommended appropriate rent increases, being responsive both to the rental market and to our desire to retain good tenants. They have contracted for lawn service and other maintenance and repairs, recommending replacement of appliances, inspecting the property as needed. And, in the one case where tenants were

I thought the Laurel Company was the terrible. I had a simple dispute over payment for plumbing services, but rather than explain the charge to me they immediately wanted to take me to small claims court. Co-Director Darren Peterson envisions himself as being a lawyer, but he is anything but. For peace of mind, stay clear of this company.

My experience as a Laurel tenant had its ups and downs, but they mostly left me with a bad taste in my mouth. They were generally slow to address maintenance issues, and when I had a technical glitch with my bank that created a missed payment situation, they were pretty inflexible. I know they can't go around waiving fees left and right, but they approached it with a distinct lack of humanity.
Finally, they nickel and dimed us on the deposit at move-out: They charged $170 for the combination of removing a toaster (which by the way was there at move-in) replacing a smoke detector battery and removing

I rented an apartment through The Laurel Company in downtown Santa Barbara and it was by far the best property management I have seen. They were always courteous and professional and the apartment was a wonderful place to live. Unfortunately, due to relocation for work, I was unable to stay longer, but I would definitely rent from this company again and highly recommend them.
