Apple Property Management

Renting with APM has been nothing short of a disaster. We had multiple instances where communication was not that best with this property management. We had flooding in our rental and couldn’t even reach our property management to know the best way to go about it until HOURS later. No follow up on that either to make sure nothing was damaged. When sending in maintenance we hardly heard back without having to constantly remind them. They switched to paying wsg thru the portal instead of SPU & never communicated that to us until we had an overdue bill on the portal but had continued paying to SPU. The leasing agent “misfiled” our key when needing to do showings during move out so we had to be there to let her in. They also deducted half our security deposit for cleaning when we left the plac

‘Shameless, exceedingly dishonest, ethically-bankrupt con woman’ is too kind of a description for Lisa Dankers, owner of Apple Property Management. Lisa proclaims herself to be ‘Seattle’s neighborhood specialist’ — I’d counter that she’s a despicable scourge to the city of Seattle and a complete embarrassment to herself. My experience with Apple Property Management is as someone who inherited property that APM had been ‘managing’ for more than 10 years. Lisa Dankers/APM took advantage of my vulnerable grandmother for years, betraying her trust and doing her best to deplete her resources, all the while making my grandmother believe that she was a friend. Apple Property Management left my grandmother’s rental properties (and tenants!) in a severely neglected condition. Since having Lisa Da

Apple property management is, based on my experience. Criminal. I put a huge deposit down on a property. Got the keys, took in my first couple boxes and sat down. This was the first time I had sat in the house for a couple minutes, my previous visit was a walk through. Two of my friends were with me. All three of us started getting attacked by fleas! Which was gross. Dozens of them jumping on our legs and biting. This was absolutely nuts. We ran outside and went "ick" for a while. I had just put down a huge deposit but there was no way whatsoever I was going to live there, or bring my cats over to an infested house. I had a suspicion that they would not give the deposit back in full without proof. I called an exterminator and explained the problem. I needed to prove that there was a flea

Have been renting with APM for more than a year now and have had a positive experience. Lisa has gotten every maintenance item taken care of within a reasonable timeframe and the online payment system is easy to use.

I dealt with them a few years back when I moved to Seattle. The agent with whom I worked (Lynn) was manipulative and disrespectful of my time. She wanted me to pay the deposit and the first month rent before letting me read the lease agreement! I am glad I insisted on reading it first. The agreement was making me responsible for weekly cleaning of every corner of the property. I was even made responsible for caulk and grout in the bathroom. Not sure if it was their standard agreement or property owner specific, but it was clear after reading it that I would have to fight hard to get my deposit back.
