Avanath Capital Management LLC - Irvine, California

I have lived here going on my third year In this 55 and older community. It is not considered a luxury apartment but Up until now, it has been sufficient enough. The rent raises have averaged 3 to 4% since I’ve been here. This is understandable. However, this year the rent increase is 12%. But only for 4 apartments in this simplex (I was told by management). I am one. The average rent raises across-the-board were raised to an average of 10% for the rest of most apartments. This is a distinct hardship for every senior citizen who lives here Management explained to me that it was fair because it makes the company competitive in the current rental marketplace. And with Social Security providing a COL of only 3.2% this leaves most residents here facing further financial hardship in this economy.

My personal primary complaint is that the maintenance in our facility is abysmal. For the 12% increase visited on me through the cherry-picking rent-raising commission leaves with the following value for the extra money. My floors are cracking and buckling. There have been many dishwasher leaks that have left the floor dark and gray with what I fear is mold. The correction for the cracks that are also in the floor was to screw in a metal plate (crookedly) across the entrance to my kitchen. I just had hip surgery and use a cane. My cane slips on this piece of metal whenever I enter my kitchen. It has become a falling hazard. But I was advised by maintenance that they will not replace my floor. I am ready to contact appropriate authorities for these unacceptable conditions. In addition to a refrigerator that leaks, a stove that does not read appropriate temperatures, faucets that leak, my windows are crooked and will not shut tightly. This is the value I receive for 12% increase. I would highly recommend to everyone to be a BUYER BEWARE at Cascades Village/Avanath properties. I have seen all the monies in this complex going toward renovations to common areas and landscaping while our apartments fall apart. There are many many things wrong with this picture. Look elsewhere if you need a 55 and older community apartment dwelling.

This company comes in and turns multi-family buildings into literal slums. The first thing they did in our building was fire our security guards and stop using the HVAC to save money. They had to hire security back for obvious reasons, but this is how Avanath rolls. In the three years they’ve owned this building in DC, it’s gone from an older but nice apartment to a beacon of lawlessness and filth.

Do not ever apply or live with this company. Not only do they treat residents horribly and can’t keep up with the communities they purchase, but they are bias and racially profile everyone

Avanath Management took over the apartments where I live in Sacramento, CA and initially, seemed promising. However, they are worse than the previous management .

Their balance ledger is frequently not up to date, so they will contact you, threatening late charges of $75. When their error is discovered they never apologize for the mixup.

They need frequent reminders to fix things, even though maintenance requests are submitted online. It takes about 3 requests to have someone come out and fix anything and they rarely send a professional, wasting your time, on having to keep requesting the same maintenance items fixed, repeatedly.

They set appointments for.pest control and after you're prepared by removing everything from your cupboards and covered it,
they cancel the.service. Then weeks later, demand you be ready on a whim. I could.go on and on. The point is, they are terrible, like most corporate owned management/owned services.

2023
Up date...they recently raised garage fees from $75 to %175. They even wanted to rent out parking spaces monthly as well, but were not allowed to, due to regulations in Sacramento
This management company is greedy and only cares about making a profit, not about affordable housing. Beware!! They want to stick it to the residents wherever they can, as I was informed by an insider. Smh.

Please believe every review and the issue is state wide. I don’t live is CA and I have the same issues. They deserve ZERO stars…..The absolute worst management company to live under. They do not care about their residents at all. Work orders never resolved and front office never communicates effectively….you have to keep emailing and calling to get answers. They don’t fix a thing just cover it up to make it look fixed. If you have a choice run away when you see this name on a property you will surely be disappointed. I am waiting patiently for my lease to end.

Been trying to reach out to someone about Acclaim at Ford lake apartments. It is so much unprofessionalism going on. I will be going to court because the manager tried evicting me because I filed noise complaints against my neighbor. I was threatened with a gun and nothing was done. I was told that my neighbor didn't want to have a meeting so she is just going to evict us both. I have never heard of the victim being evicted. This lady has absolutely no business managing any apartments. If my issue continues to be ignored I will be reaching out to the Hall of shame news outlet.

this management company and it’s staff in cityview orlando SUCKS at communicating with residents especially residents that work out of town. call them no answer, call the corporate office in California (go figure) and they can’t do anything about it. but people are supposed to know how to pay their rent 12+ hours/900 miles away to come home to an eviction notice after getting caught up on the rent. ZERO empathy compassion and care.

Less than one star, Since Avanath took over our senior apartment complex we have experience horrible vehicle burglaries. In the beginning of November 22 someone stole my catalytic converter.
Two weeks later they stole the second catalytic converter out of my car. The car next to me in the parking lot also had the catalytic converter stolen, and another resident had her car stolen last night. A 4th resident had a hole drilled in her gas tank.
They are all extensive fixes-my quote for the first catalytic converter was more than $5,000. There are no camera's on the gate or entrance or anywhere on property.
They also have not given us access to the laundry room because they "are trying to find a company to service they pay machine". So far three months having to drive to a laundromat.
