Utopia Property Management | San Diego, CA

Worse move in process ever. I decided to move into a unit from Utopia Management because it seemed to be legit. A lot of great reviews that seemed very believable. But today was my move in day for a unit and I’m in absolute shock. It seems like I actually decided to rent from a random apartment slumlord with the conditions I was given to move into. No blinds on any window, hole in the door, broken cabinets, the patio door doesn’t lock( I was told to place a piece of wood under the door, instead of them sending someone to fix it), wires sticking out of the wall, no screen on the windows, a stove that doesn’t turn on, missing fire alarm from the kitchen, faulty bathroom faucet handle and a shower head that is broken.

I’m a current tenant in a property that was recently taken over by Utopia Property Management, and the experience has been extremely frustrating and concerning. Since they took over, landscaping has stopped. Our yard, trees, and bushes have gone unmanaged for months, despite this being part of the normal property upkeep we rely on. More concerning, maintenance requests submitted through the app are not being handled, emails go unanswered, and voicemails are not returned.

The most serious issue happened when an employee came to the wrong unit, repeatedly pounded on my door while I was working from home, and then began opening my door with a key.
