Information about The Davis Model Lease can be found at:

• Rooms that used to be garages.
  

• Managers who can't show you the apartment you will be renting, but insist that it looks just like this one.
  

• Anyone who says "Trust Me" or "We don't need to worry about writing that down".
  

• Leases that hold tenant responsible for City Services, sewage, etc.
  

• Properties that ask you to renew your lease in January or February for next September. (At most apartments throughout the country, you only need to give 30-60 days notice to give the apartment a fair chance to find someone to fill your apartment should you decide to leave. Being asked to renew 6-9 months before your lease expires is NOT normal.) Once you sign your lease renewal, the property has no incentive to be responsive to problems, since at that point you are committed for another 1 year and 9 months.

2005-04-03 22:24:20   Property Managers (Acadian Properties, King Properties) have a shady level of at least 5. They are paid money by owners to manage property, any of that money saved is money that goes to profit. They have a vested interest in NOT fixing problems at your property (i.e. being shady). —AndyPastalaniec

2006-11-01 21:47:31   Please avoid Acadian, see the wiki entry to find out why, or just ask me about my experience —StevenDaubert

2007-03-01 13:21:37   Save yourself a lot of frustration and do NOT rent from Acadian (click on their name, scroll down and read all the comments) —RentersRights

2008-09-21 20:30:47   I recently rented an apartment from Simmons Real Estate located on F st in Downtown. Out of all the years I lived in Davis, this has been the worst apartment so far. The apartment had cockroaches, rats, and was a mess when they gave it to us. The refrigerator was missing a shelf and had duck tape to hold it together. The people are very rude and slow. Never rent from them. —VeronicaGonzales
