I E Rental Homes & Apartments

I have lived at 213 Bedford Way in Bakersfield for over a year and rent through this property management company. My experience has been extremely concerning and unsafe. Since moving in, my apartment has had serious habitability issues, including rats actively entering the unit, holes and gaps that allow pests inside, unsanitary conditions in the garage beneath the apartment including human waste, strong mold-like odors, plumbing problems, and fire safety concerns. A disabled elderly resident lives in the household, which makes these conditions especially dangerous. These issues were reported multiple times. Instead of resolving the health and safety problems, management required repeated maintenance requests and then served a Three-Day Notice to Pay Rent after I notified them that I was

I normally don’t leave reviews, but after months of dealing with this, I feel like others should be warned before renting through Equity Property Management. Since the day I moved in, it’s been one issue after another, and the lack of response or real effort to fix anything is unacceptable—especially with a newborn in the home. There has been a roof leak since move-in that has never been fixed, despite multiple requests. My house doesn’t even have an AC unit. I had to go out and buy my own window unit just to keep my family safe in the heat.

Slum lords. Instead of replacing the orangeberg plumbing for my main line they cut down all the trees on the property in the middle of July even though they knew the AC was not working. They finally have an app to submit maintenance requests. They will delete them without saying a word if they don't want to fix it. Have to submit multiple work orders because they somehow get lost and they will tell you never submitted. We should be allowed to give negative stars.

The city is condemning our apartments due to maintenance issues they were given 30 days to make repairs, they have not came. Looking at the reviews I may not even get my deposit back STAY AWAY from these people THEY ARE TERRIBLE I literally drive around ripping their signs down!

Aka Equity management. Slum lords of bakersfield. Moved in with a leaking roof and then had to threaten with lawyers just to have work orders complete. Had someone come and look at the roof guy didn’t speak English and showed up in flip-flops to climb on the roof. GREAT customer service aswell. 😳
