I lived with them for 2 years, never had a problem. If I had a maintenance issue, it was solved extremely quick. Got most of my security deposit back. If you read these stories about people losing thousands of dollars, go to these people's places and see what they look like. They complain that the place isn't that bad, but any sane person would tell you the place was destroyed. I spent the entire day cleaning and making sure everything was clean, with no damage, so I got my money back. We also had an old stove that was... read more
What a Joke of a human being. Oh definitely negative ratings on Service requested, negative ratings on quality and negative ratings on value.

Pamela - We would appreciate a better understanding as to your relationship with our company and the issues you experienced. Please contact me at (805) 618-3230 to discuss your concerns directly. Thank you - Scott
Stole deposit despite photo and written proof of prior damage. Out of the blue added "excess utility charges" without warning or notifications. There is no worse property management company. Avoid at cost. They are horrible to deal with. Three kids at ucsb. Never incountered a worse company to deal with. They need to be added to the ucsb housing list of avoid at all cost. When I suggested to their manager that I hoped karma paid them a visit, they said I threatened them. Honestly, if wishing karma pay them a visit was ... read more
Business response:
Carole - I understand that you are frustrated and would like the opportunity to review the deposit deductions and utility charges with you. If we've made an error, we will make it right. Please understand that we are a 3rd party management company that does not own any of the property we manage. It is our responsibility to return units to a move in condition, to receive the invoices for the work performed and to determine if the property owner or resident is responsible for the expense. There is no benefit to us in mak... read more
Wolfe & Associates took almost the entire security deposit for my son's apartment in Isla Vista, which he rented with five other roommates. Charges against the deposit were not properly documented and contrary to California law as they related to ordinary wear and tear. I reached out to Wolfe & Associates on numerous occasions to try to resolve this issue, but they just ghosted me. In short, do not expect to receive any security deposit back from them no matter what the condition of the apartment at the beginning and end of ... read more
Business response:
Mathew - We take all resident concerns seriously and strive to be fair and transparent with our move-out and deposit reconciliation procedures. It is a common misperception that property management companies benefit from deposit deductions. As a third party management company that does not own any the properties that we manage, it is our job to allocate incurred expenses between the property owner and vacating residents. We rely on the move in condition reports, maintenance history and move out inspections to reconcile ... read more
They steal from students and their families with exaggerated cleaning and repair charges. Their properties are in terrible condition, but despite known issues, they use security deposits to line their pockets. Avoid their properties at all costs
Beware of move-out charges. We read in the pre-moveout inspection packet that "additional charges MAY apply to have plank flooring deep cleaned". When we received these charges and contested them, they responded "The vinyl plank was clean at the commencement of your lease, as it is REQUIRED cleaning after you vacated we believe this charge is justified". I would not have had my mom help me on her hands and knees for literal hours scrubbing the floor if I knew this charge was required upon move out. Cost was $390 for a 1b1b. ... read more
This is truly the worst rental company in Isla Vista and everyone should stay as far away from them as possible. Firstly, their properties are near uninhabitable and they don't give two craps about their tenants. During the SoCal storms, both of my houses flooded each year and all Wofle did was send us sandbags to stop the leaking. Our floors were covered in puddles for weeks and when we moved out Wolfe had the audacity to charge us for the damages caused by the water leaking. The office staff is horrible, especially Corina... read more
Take pictures of EVERYTHING when you move in and everything when you move out. Rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional staff. Will try to extort you out of every piece of your security deposit and you must harass them to get a response to an email or maintenance request. They take full advantage of the housing shortage in Isla Vista to be terrible landlords.
Business response:
Caitlin – I’m sorry that you had a frustrating experience with our company. We appreciated your living with us at both 6517 El Nido and 6674 Trigo and hope to resolve any remaining issues. You are welcome to contact me via phone 805.618.3230 or by email ScottW@rlwa.com. Below I have provided responses to the concerns noted in your review. Taking lots of photos is good advice. We encourage people in our move in letter to complete our Inventory and Condition Report and to be very detailed. When UCSB had their move in v... read more
I have been renting with Wolfe and Associates for a year and they are truly hit or miss. During an inspection for a tenant who was moving out, a property manager told me to line through a legal document to adjust the date. When I refused and asked for a new copy of the document with the correct information, he looked me in the eyes and asked "why do I have to do it?" I responded with "because its your job?" to which he rolled his eyes, clenched his jaw and asked his partner to write a new document with the correct date. The ... read more
