Phillips Property Management

I rented from these guys for about a year and a half. I had a huge one bedroom that was located on Georgia Street. Most of the tenants had lived there for a while; which made me feel safe and it was set on a street that wasn’t high traffic.
The apartment was very affordable, in a great location and like I mentioned before huge. It had plenty of storage and everything was in great working condition. When I moved in I gave them a list of items that needed attention and they promptly fixed them. The property manager was Pablo and if I ever needed anything for the unit he was available.
These apartments do sit above properties that are located on Park Blvd, but this never caused any issues living at this unit. If you want to live where the action is you sometimes have to deal with noise. Within walking distance to Hillcrest restaurants, north park restaurants and uptown.
The management was more relaxed and felt like a family business. Other rental companies were not at available to fix things and then took my whole deposit upon moving out for no reason.
Highly recommend this group.

My son shared a rental managed by these guys for a school year. Although they were kinda hard to get a hold of, I was in need of the rental agreement for tax purposes. You don’t think of such things till you’re in need. It took a couple calls and left messages but they got back to me and got me what I needed.

Looked at an apartment with this company. It was one of the ones mentioned in the previous post — above the storefront next to the crypt. Pablo seemed nice. He showed me two places, one was decent, and the other was pretty crappy. I am only here for a summer internship and in a pinch for housing, and the price was right so I took an application.
Emailed the application back to the specified address the next morning with a request that they let me know when they got it. (it was a 3 Meg file, and their email address what a yahoo account. didn’t know if it would go through) Didn’t hear anything. A day passed. The day after that, I called them, left a message asking them to let me know if they got the app. Never called back. The day after that I called again and finally Pablo answered. He didn’t say why he never called me back, but said he didn’t know what to do because I don’t have any prior renters agreements. I told him (as I had written on the application) that it was because I’ve owned my own home for the past 12 years. He said he’d try to figure something out, and would call me that night. Never called back.
This all happened over 4 days, and maybe that isn’t too big a deal for a casual apartment seeker, but I’m here temporarily for work, and hard up for housing. It was a huge waste of my time. I don’t know if these people really don’t know what to do with someone who doesn’t have past rental agreements, (the much nicer place I ended up signing a lease didn’t have a problem with this) or if they didn’t want to rent to me because I only needed a two month lease. (despite the fact that the apartment was advertised as month to month, and I was told it wasn’t a problem) Regardless, it was a bad experience and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. From the previous review, it sounds like I am better off.

assholes.
they manage that eyesore on park and university – the concrete blight of a building that houses the crypt, the smoke shop, the empty storefront they they’ll probably never fill, and café on park. believe it or not, there are apartments and office spaces upstairs, and even cottages in the back. and i used to live in one of their apartments.
the place was crap – it looked like an office with low paneled ceilings, florescent lighting, and the strangest layout i’ve ever seen (no door between bedrooms?). hey, i took it cause it was cheap at the time.
we endured it okay until these tweakers set up shop in some fake fashion boutique just under my apartment. it was clearly a front for their other, less legal business. they installed a sound system, shot up meth and whatever else they were on, and blasted house music for days on end. i didn’t sleep for months due to the incessant pounding of their bass. did they heed my pleas to turn it down, observe san diego noise laws, hold normal business hours, party a little less, etc. of course not.
i called phillips prop management (and the useless cops) almost every night, and they did nothing. actually, they did nothing period – they didn’t fix broken shit, they didn’t keep up the building, and they certainly didn’t enforce the noise clause in the lease. after six long months, i gave up and moved out. just one month later the «fashion boutique» owners got evicted (hence the empty store front), but i’m happy i let go of a phillips property rental when i did.
assholes.
