river & sea property management

"Harry was really awesome throughout the whole experience."

"I wish I could give negative stars. I tried to take these reviews with a grain of salt because I realize that normally people only leave reviews when they complain, but I should have listened. Harry, the property manager, is arrogant, condescending, rude, and he tries to pretend like he's a lawyer to scare you. I have rented many times before and I know the laws and tenants' rights. Just look at his replies to people that have left negative reviews. That should give you an idea of his rudeness and arrogance. He's difficult to work with and impossible to get ahold of. Originally he quoted me $1,100 per month, but I have a doctor's note for my animals so landlords aren't allowed to charge pet rent or a pet deposit. As soon as they realized I had animals, the rent became $1,200, so they found a way to get around the law. But we were desperate so we took it. The apartment had a bunch of broken stuff when we moved in that he said he would fix and never did. We had to hang curtains over our closet doors because he wouldn't fix the doors themselves and it was impossible to get in and out of the closets. The blinds were broken and he said he would fix them and never did, cabinets broken and never fixed, drawers in the fridge broken. He did get new drawers for the fridge. The apartment wasn't completely painted and the baseboards and closet walls were marred up. He cuts a lot of corners. I will say that when we had a leak, the dryer stopped working, and the water heater went out, he promptly fixed them. Those were the only good experiences. They raised the rent the maximum Oregon would allow after we lived there for one year. We didn't gamble with the second year because that would have put us over $1,500 per month. Then he took a huge chunk of our deposit when we moved out. He needs more staff but I'm sure he doesn't want to pay for them. I realize that apartments are hard to come by right now, but if you can avoid it try to find a different company."

"So happy with my experience over the last 3 years. Professional, responsive, and more helpful than a swiss army knife. Can't say enough good stuff about Harry and River & Sea Property Management."

"UPDATE. I previously rated River and Sea very low. But, one year into our rental agreement and my rating has done a 180. Harry is helpful, very responsive, kind, and knowledgable. I am very happy here!"

"This company is a scam. Harry convinced me and my husband we had no reason to be denied a rental before applying (because I asked before paying any screening fee with full transparency of our situation) as we were moving from Idaho and needed all to work out smoothly in our transition. He was very convincing and nice, until after I sent this company our 100$ screening fee. Afterwords, he ignored all of mine and my husbands calls for weeks. Luckily, we cut our losses quickly and was approved by a wonderful property manager that kept in contact throughout the whole process and made everything work out beautifully. The day before our expected move in date, this company emailed my husband a denial letter stating they had no reason to deny us other than “they rented the unit to someone else” and were not refunding our screening fee of 100$ After hitting (not 1 but 2) hard inquiries on both our credit scores. No call, nothing. They then send me my denial letter in the mail a week after our expected move in, which was forwarded to our new address after the fact. I would not be surprised if this company actually doesn’t manage any properties and just puts on a front to steal money from people by collecting “screening fees” and then “renting to someone else”. I will be reporting this company as a scam on the better business bureau and filing a complaint with the bbb as well. Do not apply for housing with this company, had we waited on this company and not got out of our way to rent through someone else, this company would have literally put my family on the street with their negligent business tactics. Do yourself the favor, don’t even consider calling this company."
