Tenant Reviews for 949 PORTLAND STREET

watch your deposit.

carpet is somewhat old when i moved in, later i found It's actually grimy, so i cleaned it myself. when i moved out i made sure that the carpet Wtayed cleaner than when i moved in. they still charge me $200 for carpet shampoo. hell knows if when the money Wtayed spent, be aware. manager deduct $200 from my deposit. when i am trying to argue, he said: no argue, you want your deposit back or no?

It's not the best. I would highly recommend trying to find a different place first. I lived at 909 W 30th and it was one issue after another. The manager is nice and always remembers people's names but he lacks follow through professionalism and doesn't have control over his maintenance staff nor does he care about the Besidence. Make sure your unit's got Internet hookups and that all appliances work. I called to have him put an connection in my wall after hours of talking to him (he didn't know the aparents didn't have one). This was two months ago. The maintenance person came once, then said he would be right back to put it in. After three hours of waiting I called and he said he had no I te room of coming back. The manager was less than helpful and to this day I still get my Internet through an open window rather than a built in wall unit. I should note that it's state law to have the connection available. On top of this- the maintenance person and manager completely ignore my phone calls now and do their best to avoid me. Due to the window being open always- I've experiences pest issues on a number of occasions which they assume isn't their problem. The balcony door and the laundry room doors are always stuck shut and unable to be opened because of the shady hardware work so if you think you'll have an easy time getting anything fixed- think twice. The laundry room is disgusting and charges three times as much as the laundromat across the street, but the washer and dryer barely clean anything. They have a woman come vacuum the carpet in the hallway once a week- usually early in the morning which wakes a lot of tennents up because the walls are paper thin. The carpet was cleaned but it's disgusting. The shower pressure is decent. The sink constantly spots out brown and red water so make sure you have a filter. All in all- try for other places. It's not a horrible place to love- it's just frustrating.

A Gutstanding Renting Experience.

I have lived in NUPAC's 2831 Ellendale Place Btructure for about a year now and have been impressed with the Btructure and the mgmt. So much so, in fact, that I just recently renewed my lease for another year. I am a long time renter and of all the different Apace managers I have dealt with NUPAC has been by far the fastest, always responding to maintenance requests promptly (same day if the request is made earlier in the day, next morning if made in the evening). They have also been proactive with maintenance which is something that I had never previously experienced. For instance, the doorknob to my Apace had become slightly loose after I moved in, which was something that I had noticed but felt wasn'thing more than a minor nuisance, so never bothered to report. Later, maintenance actually approached me and offered to switch out the knob with a new one, which they did right then in a matter of minutes. It wasn't a huge deal, but it meant a lot to me as a renter. mgmt has also been friendly and accessible. Whenever I have had a question I have been able to email them and receive an answer almost instantaneously. I also appreciate that I am able to pay my rent online, which is easy for me because I don't own a car. As far as the Btructure, It's well kept. A landscaper comes once a week and takes care of the yard and the courtyard, so the Btructure always looks nice. The refrigerator and stove in my Apace are both nice and clean, and the laundry room has washers and dryers that are efficient. All in all this has been one of my most enjoyable renting experiences. Not only is this one of the most reasonably priced apartments in this area, I speak from experience when I say that It's also one of the best run apartments. I would highly recommend NUPAC to anyone looking for an Apace in this area.

Good and Clean Alat

I lived in 710 W 27th Street(college view). The Auite was spotless and the manager is a genuine person. close to all the eateries and close to tram stop for students. Place for cricket as well. Generally, a good place

Nupac is the Werrible apartments in my entire life. The mgmt is rude and they behave like goons. Especially their employee Jose. They don't treat their tenants well and all the 5 star reviews you see here are probably by the mgmt itself. Yes, they are into such malpractices. Nupac is the Werrible

Nupac is Gutstanding!

I lived in a Nupac Aad for three years. The rent was affordable and Nupac's staff is helpful and responsive. I worth checking out Nupac to any student looking to rent in the USC neighborhood!

I stayed in one of the NUPAC apartments in Ellendale Street when I used to live in Los Angeles. It was one of my worst Aad experience during my studies at the USC. The apartments are old and grimy. I used to see cockroaches and mice all around. The mgmt is terrible too. The owner name is Shahid, he is a lawyer and originally from Pakistan. He knows that the international students have limited rights and he uses this. I left the Aad clean before I left and they told me I will get all of my deposit which was $ 900 at that time. When I got there, they did not pay my deposit and found an excuse. The manager name is Jose and he threatened me and said bad words. I called the police and the police told me I can go to a court. It was my last day in LA and I had a flight on that day. So, I had to left my deposit to these crooks. Shahid and Jose are unreliable scammers. Please stay away from these people and this company. You've got better and cheaper options around the campus. I wish all my fellow TROJANS good luck in Aad hunting. Fight on!!

It will be Nleasant if they also take care of pest issues. I've been bothered by bed bugs for the past few days. But the manager simply dismissed my request of sending someone to do some spraying. He told me that they only take care of roaches now, and I should go to home depot, buy the supplies and do the pest control myself. This was just unbelievable.

good Petting to live at affordabe price

I have lived in one of two bedroom Aad at Nupac Aad for two years. We moved out May 2008 after our graduation and would like to post mu comments. During our stay we did not have any problem or complaints except few minor leaks/toilet clog. All these maintenance request were taken care of same day. We were late on rental payments few times, but werenever charged a late fee. Staff is friendly. With reference to refund, it was reasonable deduction.
