	+ ------ + ''2009-11-16 14:28:15'' [[nbsp]] i got my full deposit back from dowling, but not without some anxiousness and nail-biting. mainly this had to do with mr. dowlings personal interactions with me and my roommates. he has an unusual way of.....being. the way he says things can sometimes be very intrusive or insensitive (i totally relate to the person who posted their conversation with mr. dowling.) raul was always nice, the other office staff was a little weird too. the whole place just has a weird vibe but i guess if you dont plan on going into the office much its not a big deal. be cautious when you rent from them, my apartment had a bad roach problem but it states really explicitly in the lease that they dont take care of pests. basically, if youre going to rent from dowling make sure to cover your a**, fill out the move in/move out form REALLY carefully (dont leave anything off, im serious) and just generally be on your toes. I was told that if i didnt trash the place, i should get my full deposit back but i was anxious about it the whole time nonetheless and returned the house back SPOTLESS, way cleaner than when it was handed over to us. BE CAUTIOUS!!!1 --["Users/sheila65"]

Raul, the general manager, is very personable and has remembered my name and address every time I walked through the door since day one. I only have personal experience with Raul within Dowling so I would say deal with him for your property. He is busy at times, but that's because he's the best and gets it done in a timely manner. + + In response to other reviews, I have only been treated professionally and with respect by anyone I come into contact with in Dowling, but at Acadian and King you are asking for some misery. Unlike other places who try to steal every dollar from your security deposit, I am going to receive my full deposit within a week. Keep it clean and damage free and you have no worries. --["Users/LongNguyen"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-08-26 23:17:13'' [[nbsp]] I am honestly SO surprised by some of these reviews. I recently lived in Davis for 6 years, going through undergraduate and graduate school. I rented from several different management offices while in Davis and Dowling Properties were BY FAR the most attentive and caring property managers. I lived in an amazing apartment on 316 I street. At one point our AC was not working properly, which in Davis summer heat can be unbearable, but Raul IMMEDIATELY sent out an AC repair man. When the repair man alerted Dowling Properties that our current AC unit was not working properly, Dowling Properties quickly replaced the AC with a BRAND NEW UNIT! In that same month, my roommate and I thought that our garbage disposal was broken. When we called the office, Dan Dowling responded to our phone call and drove over within in 5 minutes to fix it himself. To have an owner of a property management business show up personally to fix a garbage disposal says A LOT about how this management company treats their tenants. + + When I moved out of the I street apartments, I was having a hard time relocating a classic car I owned because it would not start. Dan allowed me to keep the car on the I street apartment property as along as it took me to find a means to tow the car to a different location, even though I no longer lived at the apartments. I share this story because I feel that many people are mis-representing Dowling Properties on this website. I would take some of these posts with a grain of salt...I have only experienced and heard great things about Dowling Properties. --["Users/ErinCo"]

	+ * Dude, get a grip. This doesn't sound like that bad of a conversation. Maybe I'm missing the tone, but he sounds pretty reasonable to me. Most landlords/property managers do not want to deal with tenants moving in and out a lot, so they try to make sure that if you take it, you'll stay for a while. He's probably reluctant because he's worried your other friends will bail when they ultimately see it. It happens. As much as landlords suck all the time, tenants can suck even worse when they want to. As much as you think you're interviewing him, he's interviewing you as well. --["Users/condemned2bfree"]

Whoever answers the phone hands me over to Dan, and then Dan just goes "Hello" and then the most UNPROFESSIONAL conversation of my entire live ensues. + + Dan: Hello + Me: Uh, Hi. I was interested in seeing the property on 123 whatever street. + Dan: Okay. Well how many people do you have? + Me: Oh, it's just me. + Dan: It is a 4 bedroom house, you know. (he says it real snotty like.) + Me: OH. No, I have 4 people living with me, but it will only be me seeing the house. + Dan: So you're going to make this decision for everyone? + Me: ... what? + Dan: So you're going to be the only person to see the house and make the decision for everyone? (who is this guy, my dad?) + Me: Well, I'm the only one who gets a weekday off. The other roommate is my boyfriend and the other 2 live in Oregon, so they're not coming down. + Dan: Because I only show a property once. There are 500 students wanting to see places and I can't be showing each one 3 times. + Me: Well fine, it'll still just be me. + Dan: Okay, well when did you want to see it + Me: How about tomorrow, what times do you have? + Dan: Whenever, I have all day. (What happened to those 500 students that wanted to see places, huh? I'm not even a freaking student.) + + I have NEVER experienced the gall of such a person! I was ready to just cancel the appointment because he was being so rude! 30 minutes after the phone call I STILL wanted to punch him in the face! Hell, I'm STILL pissed. I'm going to entertain his appointment just so I can see if this guy is really that big of a dick in real life. + + HOME OWNERS, I would NOT use Dowling because they're so rude and unprofessional to renters that they cut your potential tenants in half with their attitude alone! The rest of the staff might be nice, but Dan, as the owner, should be an example to others. He is anything but a business man. + + My brain is still reeling from the audacity of it all. --["Users/metal.lace"]

Raul took care of us for the most part, and he was always great. He would fix everything we needed him to, and was always really nice and friendly towards us. During the subleasing process, he walked us through the whole thing and didn't seem perturbed by our millions of questions about everything. He even answered his mobile after hours. We couldn't have asked for more. --["Users/seedflavin"]

So in the end, it seems to me it becomes difficult for him to get anything done. The owner is a total cheap skate. From what I've gathered their philosophy seems to be take on as many properties as possible to generate monthly income and do as little as possible of what they're supposed to be doing, taking care of properties and tenants. Property owners who hire Dowling to manage their places are essentially throwing their money down the toilet. Sometimes they respond and address issues in a reasonable amount of time, but for the most part they don't respond when attempting to contact them at all, and try to pass the buck as far as they can for as long as they can. Wouldn't in the least bit recommend renting from them. --["Users/davisfugitive"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-02-07 11:24:02'' [[nbsp]] I have LOVED renting from Dowling Properties!!! The whole process was easy since day one; we called them up, they drove us around to different properties, we fell in LOVE with 316 I st. (#4) and signed the papers the same day. And anytime ANYTHING gone wrong, I just call Raul and he comes by and fixes the problem that same day :D For example, there was an issue with my outlets and Raul had an electrician come and they worked by the time I got home. Another time our garbage disposal stopped and again, Raul had it fixed by the time I got home. Ive had other property managers tell me they'll get around to it or I have to wait a week but that has never been the case with Dowling! Im currently trying to sublease my place and Raul even made it available again on their website which will help out a lot. Raul is an incredibly nice person who really cares about his tenants. He's a hard worker and gets things done very quickly, its nice to have those qualities in a Property Manager, thanks Raul and Dowling Properties!!!! --["Users/peanomorf"]

The place I rent is unusual, I believe, in that I've not dealt with Daniel Dowling, but Mary Dowling. She has been beyond easy to work with. When I went into the office to say that our washer leaked and our dryer was broken, she called me quickly and arranged to have them replaced. When there were problems with Sears getting the appliances delivered, she sat on the phone in a 3-way call with me and the company until we could get the problem solved. --["Users/AllieStevens"]

If they keep your deposit, it is because you did some damage or didn't pay your rent - or for some other good reason - think about it!!! We pay our rent on time, keep our place neat and clean and if there are any repair issues, Raul is always there to answer the phone and give us immediate attention. We think the company is great and has always treated us with courtesy and respect - and also most fairly. We all agree that we would do business with them again. Great job, Raul!

They "accidentally" deducted close to $100 incorrectly from our security deposit, and made getting our money back such a nightmare to deal with that my roommates and I finally gave up. Daniel Dowling treats students like crap, and it's very clear that he thinks he can take advantage of students. As our lease period ended, he did a walk-through with a family interested in leasing and he was actually being polite and very well mannered, so apparently he is capable of pretending to be a good person if necessary. The office staff used to have a new person hired/fired every couple of months making it impossible to get any problems dealt with. At least now Raul has been the property manager for a decent period of time. He's often rude, but at least he's consistently around. I would seriously avoid signing with this property management unless you look forward to a lease period full of arguing about your rights as a tenant. --["Users/SarahElizabeth"]

They "accidentally" deducted close to $100 incorrectly from our security deposit, and made getting our money back such a nightmare to deal with that my roommates and I finally gave up. Daniel Dowling treats students like crap, and it's very clear that he thinks he can take advantage of students. As our lease period ended, he did a walk-through with a family interested in leasing and he was actually being polite and very well mannered, so apparently he is capable of pretending to be a good person if necessary. The office staff used to have a new person hired/fired every couple of months making it impossible to get any problems dealt with. At least now Raul has been the property manager for a decent period of time. He's often rude, but at least he's consistently around. I would seriously avoid signing with this property management unless you look forward to a lease period full of arguing about your rights as a tenant. --["Users/SarahElizabeth"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-12-26 08:45:22'' [[nbsp]] Everyone in the office gives the impression that they don't care. Basic repairs take weeks of phone calls and argument. It seems like the manager, Raul, has to ask permission from the owner, Dan Dowling, for everything that needs to get done, which only makes the process longer and more stressful. There shouldn't be so many arguments about repairing apartments, just get it done and get it over with. --["Users/Pattie"]

I agree with curlycueJEB. Raul coming on as the general manager has improved the business immensely. I've rented from Dowling for over a year now and overall I am quite satisfied. + + I too ran into a huge mix-up when I signed my lease over a year ago as I had a lease signed to move in Aug. 1st but the tenant refused to leave until Sept. 1st. It was a huge headache and I did feel at the time that the problem was brushed under the rug. That being said, however, I have not experienced any additional issues and am overly satisfied with my decision to stay. After I moved in Raul became the general manager and things have only gotten better. I am treated respectfully and courteously any time there is an issue, even when it is an issue on my end. I've rented from numerous other places in Davis and what stands out with Dowling is that they are reasonable, fair and professional, and accordingly they do demand the same in return. --["Users/lawstudent09"]

They know what they are doing, they want their clients to behappy, but they have to cover their ends. Dowling properties is definately one of the best in town. Raul has been the best addition to the new staff. He's personal, he learns your name, and listens to your housing issues. They usually fix things in a timely matter and remain relatively fair with the security deposits, as long as you do your share of cleaning and fixing the damage you cause. --["Users/curlycueJEB"]

All properties in Davis have to deal with this issue, and the more reputable ones do a good job of this. Most properties and/or property management companies plan ahead for this date (i.e. they contract out painters, cleaners, carpet cleaners, etc. from Sacramento or Woodland if they cannot get them from Davis). + + I have not had a good impression of Dowling properties, nor have I heard good things about them. I am aware that they disgregard many (if not most) fair housing laws, and continue to do so. It is unfortunate that students are being taken advantage of for their lack of knowledge in this department. I would not rent from them unless they got some serious training. I am actually surprised they haven't been sued numerous times...luck of the draw, I suppose. + + Also, if I were the person above, I would definitely not admit that I work there.

	+ + Reply: I work at Dowling, and I am the one who handled the security deposit refunds. Because Davis leases usually expire at the end of August, all of the refunds for all of the tenants who move out must be processed all at once. This is a time consuming process, and one we are attempting to streamline. Please keep in mind that before we can process a refund, we must inspect the property and complete any necessary repairs and cleaning. It can also be difficult to find people to do the cleaning and repairs since all of the property management companies in Davis are all trying to do the same thing.

By the way, they have had a complete staff turnover since September 2006, and the new people are trying really hard to fix any problems. --["Users/Tinafrog"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-04-04 13:52:04'' [[nbsp]] At first, Danielle at Dowling was quite helpful on the phone. Checked into some places for me and even called me back the next day. I made an appointment to meet at a property and she did not show. I expected a call saying she could not make it. No call. Two days later I called her up and she flat out lies to me about the whole situation, saying that she was waited for me at the second property we were interested in and that she told me the property that we were supposed to meet at was in fact unavailable and that she had told me this and that we had agreed to meet at the second property. All of which was a lie, as the plan from the beginning was to meet where I waited for 30 minutes. Definitley good business practice to flake on, and then lie to a potential client. Good work! --["Users/tdh"]

On the other hand, they berated us for our lawn when it is in better condition than when they gave it to us. All in all, you have to realize that they are a business first and they act like it. Treat the head guy with respect and he'll give it back. Also, read your lease before complaining. Often you'll find it is not within the scope of the contract for them to fix everything. --["JohnHumperdinkle"]

House did have a lot of minor repair problems which either took forever, or were never fixed (the only major one being a smoke detector). So some good, some bad. I'm left rather indifferent. It has taken forever to get my deposit back though, so maybe I lean towards more saying you might want to find someone else. --["ProtoGarrett"]
