Lobos Management
Reviews and Complaints

I am writing in regard to the very loud neighbors who live in [edited]. I have been informed by SEVERAL neighbors that complaints have been made over the years about these people and that the previous FEW tenants have moved out due to complaints not being resolved. I was told these loud tenants have scratched cars, partied at odd hours (which I've experienced first hand), broke windows, take up parking with visitors, etc. I will tell you right now if nothing gets done I will continue to search for upper management regarding this. We pay enough to live here and this is not fair, why are these people not being evicted if this has been happening for years!? I need answers!

In addition, I was asked to record this noise and send to the landlord, when I did I was told, "I can't hear it much, sorry". It should not be heard at all!?

My lease was terminated after I have complained about the pool hours at Waldorf Apartments. (The pool was closed most of time in Summer - every Sunday, Tuesday and sometimes other days during the week the pool was closed and Saturdays it was open until 4pm and then closed it for the season the second week of August). I did not break my lease I stayed and paid my rent on time until my lease ended. The office manager never send me a renewal or letter 60 days prior my lease ending and since my lease was terminated I thought that is the reason why they did not send me a renewal. It should be their responsibilities to stay on top of things.

Before I moved in I had asked them if they can change the carpet because it was so disgusting and they said yes, but of course they did not change it. Even the maintenance told me several time that the carpet was bad when I moved in. So, now after month later moving out, I am receiving an invoice where they are charging me for Lease Violation saying that I did not give them a 60 day notice, for carpet not being cleaned professionally, oven not being cleaned and unpaid Rent?

I know a lot of friends who lived there and they all got a renewal letter 60 day prior their lease ending but I did not receive one and I should not be charged for.

They are also charging me for not cleaning the carpet professionally, the carpet should have been replaced before I moved in it does not need professionally cleaned it needs to be renewed.

I cleaned the apartment when I moved out and they are also charging me for not cleaning the oven. I know that Waldorf tries and charges tenants anywhere they can. It happened to a lot of people where they got charged.. so many people moved out from there and the people who moved in they are not happy because the way the office handles things and with lies etc.

At Waldorf usually nothing gets repaired or replaced (they usually do temporary fix) In October one of the dryers got on fire and that dryer was not in a good shape for few years and since they never replace anything it got on fire - the smoke was really bad it was not safe living there

The charges are unacceptable. I took pictures after cleaning the apartment I only attached the pictures from the oven but could provide all the pictures if its needed. Waldorf/Lobos does try to charge wherever they can but this is not right.

Due to family circumstances, I was unable to move out at the time of move out date. I, however, discussed the issue with property manager as well as another person in office. I then explained further as to why I had to leave with a written consent providing details as to why I would be leaving 10/31. She had then explained to me that I would have to pay for October's rent if I leave 10/31. Agreeing to her request, i left at that. I then had received November's bill, which was not discussed. I then called in and she had told that I could sublet. Of course reluctant to argue, I had said.. okay. But I don't want to be stuck with rent if someone fails to pay it. I then continued to tell her I did not feel comfortable subletting and that I was leaving on behalf of my situation. She then proceeded to tell me that I would be evicted, credit would be destroyed, and she would have to take control and involve the courts. She said I had no other option. Few situations have happened which I am also not comfortable with. I was at work and someone entered my apartment with no consent. I had even reached out to the office manager jenna and she assured me that's that "what was done during the holidays". Not sure if I feel comfortable with that statement. I did not give consent to entering my apartment for a small package that was left inside, that I was comfortable with it being provided in the lobby. Some things just haven't settled right with me.
Disappointed

Jenna Cutrara has repeatedly threatened and harrassed me when I tried to terminate my lease at the Waldorf in the north hills .

They steal money from your deposit disguising their theft as cleaning and/or repair deductions even if the former resident had already performed such actions. Perfect example is a deduction for the cleaning dishwasher. A dishwasher my wife nor I had ever used while living there. Complete con-artists. They basically re-clean everything and deduct from your deposit. They also deduct money from your deposit claiming they use it to pay your water bill. A water bill or two you would have already paid. It is literal theft. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Been trying to move in for nearly a month. For weeks I keep getting asked for more proof of this and that. I give them everything they ask for. And still nothing! I can't get a call or email back. The one lady told me all I needed was one more paper from my grandma. She spoke to my grandma directly and told her what she wanted. We sent EXACTLY that and then some and STILL got told it wasn't enough. I had to pay $70 for the applications ($35 a piece) plus a $199 application processing fee but they NEVER PROCESSED THE APPLICATION!

This complaint is written as a matter of record. Ron Soblol, owner of Lobos Management, has refused to comply with standard industry requests. Additionally, he has instructed those under his charge to do the same. He has positioned himself as the only authorized person to complete the necessary documentation required by the Federal Housing Administration, and has declined to do so. This refusal costs his long-time paying tenants in extension fees, time away from their full-time employment, and potentially thousands of dollars in upfront funds which have already been paid.

While my submission to the Better Business Bureau will not be the first, I do sincerely hope that it will be the last.

After failing to provide a safe and healthy living space, Lobos Management is refusing to return my safety deposit, despite providing me with written confirmation weeks ago that I would receive it. This false information has led to my being unable to pay rent at my new apartment and my impending eviction. Absolutely unacceptable. Some experienced transgressions include, but are not limited to, water damage on my ceiling that resulted in multiple severe sinus infections, not having access to water for over 24 hours, and unauthorized access to by bedroom by maintenance while I was sleeping.

On May 9th my power went out in certain rooms when I tried to set the breakers it still would not work, I called the the office the next day and they were supposed to have someone look at it and call me. No one looked at it and called. I told them that if the power did reset it always went back out and and my lights blinked in the hallway and bathroom. They were supposed to be there Friday May 10th and contact me. They also did not get back to me that day. I went the whole weekend without most of my outlets not working. On Monday May 13th I called and she claimed somebody was there and reset it but on Friday all day I called to tell them it was out and asked someone to return my phone call. Now she says they will look again and they may need an electrician and not sure how long it will take. I have dealt with the other repairs not being handled at all even when they say it will be but it is unacceptable to have to live without electricity. I want to find a way to get out of my lease I'm not going to continue to pay rent on a place that never takes care of anything or return your phone calls.

Besides the fact that they are slumlords and don't fix anything that they put a "work request" in for, I've been dealing with drug addict/prostitute for neighbors. Which is documented by the police after a bust. Where they evicted? No. Where they evicted after tone if their kids beat my son in the knee with a hammer or when their other child beat my daughter in the head with sticks? No and that was also documented by police. The 2 boys then threatened to sexually and anally assault my daughter. Also documented and boys admitted to it and also that they had been trying to catch my 7 year old alone. This company has been no help. Though they live in a building across from me, they are allowed to roam my apartment building since no-one bothered to fill the work request to fix broken security door. Apparently no-ones safety matters. I got screamed at by management when i questioned how this is allowed. I am contacting laywer and the news reporters. I'm at a breaking point and don't know what else to do at this point.

I would give zero stars if that was an option. Similar to others who have left reviews, Lobos employs a slumlord-style of management. My apartment has flooded four different times in the span of 9 months, and each time, they said they fixed the problem, but last time, I came home to an apartment filled with sewage water and waste. Lobos claims to offer 24 hour maintenance, which is false marketing because they do not - I've had to wait 12+ hours for someone to come, all the while my belongings are under water and being ruined by Lobos' faulty plumbing. Also, this building has a bad insect problem.

They insult their tenants n threaten them
N lobos employees are trained to exploit ur love for ur pets they charging 75 bucks each month n that is 900 bucks a year only to keep a little 4 IB dog. I have lived here for 22 years in colonial arms n their manager calls me n threatens me at 7 am that I will be evicted if my dog rent is not paid while knowing that my Little pupp only stays with me for a week each month n spends rest of three weeks in city with her mom. I paid her 1800.00 dog rent for two full years 2015 n 2016 while my dog only came n visited me twice a year. I have paid over over 200, 000.00 two hundred gran in rent for a one bedroom in 22 years n they refuse to change any carpet. I paid 2 gran from my pocket to put new carpet in my living room in 2012. I simply rent from them cause it's close to my work but these fOlks know how to exploit their tenants n they get away with it by insulting n humiliating good hard working tenets.

Warning Military personnel -- do not rent from this company! BEWARE!

They are making my enlisted USCG pay an extra month in rent because of a difference in 4 days between his verbal orders and his written orders.

Terrible way to treat those protecting their right to run this company!

I wouldn't recommend Lobos. The landlord was friendly and the apartment seemed like it would be nice: newly painted walls, fairly new windows, brand new kitchen. It was only after I lived in the apartment for a week that I noticed all the problems: horrible fly & gnat problem due to poorly installed windows, a centipede problem (I kill at least 2 a day), it's so damp that I have to keep a dehumidifier running which runs up my electric bill, a leak in the bathroom sink plumbing causing mildew in the cabinet below, and management doesn't respond to emails...I can't pay a water will that I haven't seen or been alerted of, and I've been here months already without a sign of one.
