PADCO Property Management

As a landlord, Terry displayed trust and responsive attention. She showed me several locations, helping me find a good fit. The apartment was in good condition and she responded quickly to maintenance issues. Thanks for a good experience as a tenant.

This Review is long over due. Terry Gardner is a saint. We moved to the Bay in July 2012 to a property she had on Lakeshore. She helped us get everything set up and squared away even from long distance. The building is kind of old and had a few cricks in it, but what doesn’t in Oakland. The building and common are were well kept and maintained. We had a furnace problem and the repair man was there that day. Did I mention she allowed our 2 large boxers to live with us :) seemed impossible to find a place that would allow it but she did and with open arms. Last but not least we had to break our lease early due to family issues in AZ. We did help in readying the place and finding replacement tenants but she let us out and returned our deposit without issues. I cant tank Terry enough, she was overly helpful in many ways that she didnt have to be. Thank you Terry.

Look,
I have to defend terry a little bit here. We had a gas leak in our stove, and a new stove was installed the very next day. Other than that, I fix things myself. I have fixed the running toilet, clogged drains, I have fixed 2 doors, several windows, hung crown molding, repainted, etc. So I cant speak to her responsiveness to petty issues like toilets flushing, but that’s because I know how to do things myself.
I don’t know what people expect from a landlord, and maybe I expect a lot less, but I have had almost no difficulty communicating with her, a message almost always gets a response. On top of that, Gabriel, her maintenance guy does a great job, and gives out his PERSONAL CELL PHONE NUMBER if you need anything. I have never had to use it, but I know if I had an emergency, he would be here in a heartbeat.
Our building interior was just re-​painted, and on the exterior, cracks in window casings were caulked a few weeks ago– still needs paint.
The water stays on, the roof doesn’t leak, appliances work, pet friendly.

This company really only needs the above review. As a former tenant and manager of one of her apartments, everything Kate M. is saysing is
%100 true. Terry Gardner owns tons of properties in Oakland and she can care less about any of them. I wish i could have given 0 stars.
