Mr. Strickland is a slum lord.
by HB428
I rented from Labri management for 21 years. We generally had good management until Flor and Mike were our managers. It all started when I asked for a new stove and oven numerous occasions. I had also asked them to fix my closet because it had a bad mold issue, I also gave them a list of things to repair, mind you I've lived in the same apartment for 21 years. Never changed the carpet nor painted the living room ever. Asked numerous times for them to fix a leak that was in my kitchen that leak so bad I would have to keep a bucket underneath it. Raw sewage. I had spoke to other tenant as well this was an on going problem throughout the complex. So I decided to call Mr. Strickland to let him know that his management team would also walk around intoxicated in public. Which didn't bother him because nothing I brought to his attention was valid right. At that point the manager at my complex ask me about my visitors who enter my place and asked me if they live with me. I told her no. I didn't realize that we had to let them know who visits. No security doors either. Mind you this whole time either neighbors have at least 10 family members in a 2 bedroom next to me but never complained to management. At that point I was wondering why she asked me those questions. That 's when I recieved a notice saying that I had too many poeple living ing my place. I thought 3 people is too many when neighbor across the way has ten and below me had ten as well. At that point I realized that she was legally trying to remove me. Which was fine but when the managers husband directly says to my face its all about the money. It effects their bonus if they repair things in our apartment. But this is the kind of management that Labri hires with criminal records so they enter apartments without consent. The funniest thing is that when we left they had to repair all these items anyway. I heard that for the 1st year it was vacant and the last 2 tenants vacated within six months. Karma. They should of kept us there and fixed the damn place and listen to the complaints I had and just addressed them. Wise business move Mr. Strickland. Shortly after we left I heard management was fired.
Property Stollen Whittier Villas
by kandi Cook
I rented an apartment at Whittier villas. We were in the middle of moving on 1/10/12 & the manager waited until we left to take a load to our new place and entered my apartment without my permission and took my property then changed the locks and left the premises. The lock out was not until 1/22/2012. She had no right to be in my apartment or take my things. On top of that she lied and told us that the construction crew had taken my things. It has taken a week to locate them and the whole crew says that this is not true. They saw her take my things and one of my dollies were on her porch hidden behind the wall. I have called and complained. This is theft straight up. i want my things back and it looks like I am going to have to sue to make that happen. Maybe management will stand behind their claims and do something about this? Wish me luck
These people dont appreciate crap!
by aregon34
I know I am a sucker because me and my mom have lived here for almost 10 years. When my mom lived here, they kinda treated her ok she finished her lease and asked for her deposit. One of the sups, a man named Jim, is a complete fake christian. He pretended to be so nice and concerned to my mom, yet became a jerk when she tried to get her money back. I moved in and took over the apartment. Things are crappy as hell now, yet the rent is cheap. Once, for a whole week, the showers didnt work. I have asked for the longest time to have my carpet changed, but no response. We always have trouble with the plumbing here. If you are reading this. stay away from these peoples apartments!!! They are slumlords!
NOT RECOMMENDED
by TudyK531
Total ripped off when you moved out and bad experienced with the apartment . The manager was nice but nothing gets fixed though. I don't think I would recommend any of my friends or families to rent from them.
Poor Management, Unfair, Biased
by vEEk
DO NOT RENT any units from this group.
I'm hoping someone who is considering moving in uses these reviews and make the wise decision of NOT moving into one of Labri's building.
I was suckered in by the low rent rate. it beat other apartments in the area by $30-$50.
When i first moved into a 1 bedroom unit, everything was waaaay out of date. None of the outlets in the apartment were grounded. not even in the bathroom. I noted this on the checklist from when i first moved in. i asked the manager "when are you guys gonna change it?" and never got a clear answer. After lots of back n forth, i gave in and said that i'd do it myself. luckily i'm a certified electrician and took care of it. But i know i shouldnt've done it, but i really needed those outlets.
come winter time, 3 of the 4 heaters in the apartment dont work. i reported it. nothing got done. i had to get portable heaters. i should've reported it.
And NOW, i've been here 2 years, and like a sucker for low rent, i signed another year.
This entire time i've parked my car into my parking spot in reverse. which doesn't hurt anyone at all
Yesterday, there was some biker bitch was blocking my parking so i asked her to move so that i could park. i got lots of dirty looks, but i'm a gentleman before anything, so i didn't say anything.
Turns out that biker bitch is friends with one of the tenants that's really close to the manager.
The next day i get a call that i have to park my car in the forward position.
Mind you, 2 years i've parked in reverse, and all of a sudden, i have to change it.
after a big hooplah with the manager, they sent out a memorandum, and now everyone has to park in the forward position, because (they claim) "we dont want anyone to back up into the stone wall", :\
So now instead of endangering the "stone wall" i'm endangering the tenants that live in front of my parking spot. so if someone reverses into their living room, its OK, because management sent out a memorandum to everyone.
My next lease will definitely be semewhere else.
So, i emphasize all across the board:
DO NOT RENT any units from this group.
