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

This is the most un-professional, careless business that rents out slums for an arm and a leg. My apartment building has not been improved upon a single time in the 4 years since the start of our lease yet the rent has raised over $1000 despite being in terrible conditions. The property manager Tom Donnelly refuses to attend to maintenance issues in a timely manner unless I call him personally (after going through maintenance multiple times). In almost every single instance of needing help/a response from this company I ha... read more

Absolutely the worst. They take advantage of students. I leased with them for 2 years in the same unit and they dragged us through so much about our security deposit and then when we disputed it and threatened to get legal help they admitted they owed us back several hundred dollars. We made the mistake of releasing with them this last year (housing shortage in iv didn't give us much of an option) and went through the same shit + black mold, rude responses and overall disregard for our health and safety. I would urge anyone ... read more

Future renters- take pictures of the apartment when you move in and make prior stains, scuffs, etc known. Wolfe will not hesitate to rip you off. This is a cash grab and they will charge you for anything they can. Scummy. 

Business response:

Merina - I’m sorry to hear that you have this perception of your experience with our company and dissatisfaction with your deposit return. We also strongly encourage people to document the condition of their apartment at their move in. We give a Move in Packet to all new residents advising them to complete a provided Move in Condition report. This report serves two purposes: 1) To make sure we meet the incoming resident’s expectations with respect to cleaning and maintenance, and 2) to ensure residents are not charged for... read more

Avoid Wolfe and Associates at all costs. They do not care about you and will do anything to take your money. Our apartment was in horrible condition upon move-in, including trash and broken glass throughout the house and mold in many of the kitchen cabinets (among many other things). We turned in the Inventory and Condition report outlining the issues a few days after move-in, and some repairs took over 6 months. Any attempts to call or email property manager Tom Donnelly have been ignored. They also left lots of trash and f... read more

You might be better off homeless than renting from Wolfe. Unprofessional. Irresponsible. Take your money somewhere else! Things don't get fixed, sometimes for years. New agey property supervisors that let tenants park wherever they want and leave their junk lying around outside their units blocking walkways making life a hell for disabled people. "Let's just all get along and live like animals!" Cheap. That's about all! I'm lucky, I'm gonna die soon so I don't have to put up with them much longer. Really a terrible, ruined c... read more

I had an absolutely horrifying experience with the property manager at Westwinds. We were having a professional, calm conversation in his office when he suddenly started screaming and became extremely angry and aggressive. I do not know if he has anger management issues, but it was absolutely terrifying. I called the police as soon as I got back to the safety of my room, and filed a police report (per instruction by his supervisor). I feel extremely unsafe living here because he lives directly below me, and the management co... read more
