              We've had 3 different property managers in less than 3 years. They have all been pretty useless. The repair guys are cool/fast though. Raising rents with less service.

              June 2025 update: Apparently Cal Prop is contacting past tenant and offering "compensation" to remove bad reviews. what do you think of that? I have rented from Cal-Prop for over 5 years but lived in my place for over 15 years. In March/April of this year 2020, during the pandemic, they decided to up our rent to "current market value". I called the office and got no response. The story made the CBS news. It was not until after the story aired that they answered the phone. They said it was a "mistake" and would not be upping the rent. They are ONLY about the money. We have a washer and dryer in the unit. Instead of fixing it when it was broken, they sent us a letter saying they no longer maintain the washer dryer and dish washer. If they cease to operate they will haul them away. Gee thanks Cow Poop for taking away 2 of the best appliances in this place. The carpet is over 20 years old. I asked if they would at least split the cost and I got a hard NO. I think its inhuman to ask us to pay what we pay and live in a dirty run down apartment. In 2019 they raised the rent 3 times. They were trying to price gouge before the rent control went into effect. What they were doing was illegal so the last rent hike was canceled. Although we did not get a refund for what we already paid. They SUCK. Stay away!

              This was by far the worst experience I've ever had with property management. They were dishonest, unreliable, and consistently went back on their word. Living at their property was a nightmare. When I first moved in, there was no cold water. Despite multiple complaints, it took them ages to fix the issue. After returning from a month-long trip, I found that while I was away a maintenance worker from Cal Prop turned on the heat building-wide, causing my apartment to overheat dangerously—my place was nearly uninhabitable. The excessive heat also led to a huge spike in my electricity bill, but they flat-out refused to take any responsibility. The worst part, though, was dealing with a neighbor who constantly harassed me. Management initially promised to let me break my lease and get my deposit back. But when I decided to take them up on that offer, a new manager had taken over and denied any knowledge of the agreement. I was forced to finish out my lease, and despite the fact that I was moving out due to harassment, they made no effort to compensate me or return my full deposit. This company is heartless, unprofessional, and exploitative. I’m just relieved to be out of there. Avoid at all costs.

              Melissa Young is my Cal prop manager. She is the most responsible, supportive, and capable teammate I could ever hope for. She handled my home, At 39 4 East Moss St. in Chula Vista, had it upgraded, updated in a very quick Turnover. She has become a supportive friend who always keeps me updated as needed. She is such an asset to your company. I appreciate her more than I can tell you.

In addition, they follow-up with making sure the work is done correctly. Many times, they have gone above and beyond the scope of our contract. They have integrity. I would recommend them to anyone.
