DO NOT RENT HERE: Slumlord Mentality & Zero Safety
Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (0/5 if I could)
Property: 3820 8th Avenue
If you value your safety, your sanity, and your hard-earned money, stay far away from this property and this management company. They present a professional front, but they have a complete slumlord mentality and a total disregard for tenant safety.
I tried to settle my move-out amicably, but they left me with no choice but to give my notice and leave. I was completely displaced from my own home for 32 days due to a total lack of habitability. To make matters worse, the ongoing reconstr…

I enjoy my/our quiet, clean and respectful neighbors and complex. When something needs to be fixed or you have a question, management is on it right away. I love we have cable included in our rent. Sonia is a wonderful property manager. She deals with concerns that we may have. Rigo the maintenance guy is great and respectful, he explains things to you that help you in the long run.
I enjoy my place very much, as you can tell. I have been here a long time.
Plus we have security doors to keep us safe.

I have been renting through Cethron Property Management for about two years now and it has been nothing but a pleasure. My manager Yvonne is proactive, helpful, and is always communicating with tenants. Highly recommend Cethron and Yvonne!

We're living here over 10 years and always treated well!

I'm here to update my previous review. I'd like to say that this property management honestly deserves 5 stars - My wife and I having been here for around 8 years is enough to reflect the why. At times like now, it's fair to say Americans can be quite frustrated about a lot of things. This property may not have the latest and greatest of things, but it has been well-kept for how old the bones of this building is. There are a few gripes, but it's nothing that cannot be resolved by simply communicating ..a problem I think many of us can improve on. What comes to mind about a great property manag…

Marianna and the maintenance crew are the best. Pleasant and effective. Hope they are here for a long time!!!

it’s a lovely and cozy place just has some inconveniences
pros:
- very pretty and tidy complex (except the falling odd fruits)
- really quick and effective with maintenance (no charge as long as we didn’t actively break something ex. broke from long use)
- feels very safe since there are gates (with only code/key access) to enter the premises
- water and trash are included so we don’t need to worry about paying extra for that
- cozy and nice interior. genuinely love living here
- management is kind and understanding
cons:
- it was hard to reach them when we moved into the apartment. they tol…

Poor communication and a lack of tenant support. After renting multiple properties in CA, this is the least responsive management team I’ve encountered. Expect to follow up multiple times for answers and to handle all maintenance scheduling yourself. Not recommended for those seeking a professional, hands-off rental experience.

We have been sitting tenants for 12+years at a wonderful property managed by Cethron in Hillcrest in San Diego. We have found them to be very responsive and quick to address any issues. The property is well maintained and kept up to date. We love living here!

There have been multiple times in which I’ve called and it seems like they hang out on you as the call doesn’t go fully through. There have been a couple of times that I have received noticed of none payment when I have paid, then when I go again to “pay again” they add the utility charge when it was not on the Initial amount when first paid; therefore, showing a lack of transparency. When we have also had inquiries regarding the complex, the employee is always rude as well. We appreciate the living space, but please be kinder and transparent.

Wish I could give half a star. The apartment complex in Fort Worth is absolutely the worse place to live. Before we moved in they said it was a newly refurbished apartment. My mails were lost, packages stolen, vehicle vandalized, bad wiring in the apartment which they promised to fixed before we moved in but was never fixed so that appliances didn’t work sometimes. Fixtures improperly placed and falling off the wall and breaking. Doors unable to be locked.
And the worst of it is We moved at the end of May,, was out of the country until the beginning of July. In my haste to leave forgot to prov…

Update 11/3: I was able to get another agent from Cethron, Claudia, on my case. She seemed understanding and resolved the issues quickly. I hope to have a better experience with Cethron from here on. I am changing my review score from 1 to 3 stars.
Original Post: Just so you know what you're dealing with, here is an email that I just sent to every Cethron email I could find:
Hello, I am reaching out because I have not been able to get a hold of someone from Cethron Property management in a timely manner. When I tried to notify Yvonne of a scheduled appointment with a Cox tech-- after she had…

This company is by far the worst experience I've ever had on airbnb. I booked an apartment for a weekend in Arlington and they never gave me the code to check in. When I get there I tried getting a hold of them and there was no answer. I had to google the phone number to get in touch with them, and when I did I asked for the code and the person who answered was extremely rude. She proceeded to ask how I was able to book the apartment when it wasn't available, I mentioned that I did through airbnb. She said there wasn't anything to do, that I had to solve it through airbnb, and left me hanging …

As a current tenant, I can’t wait to leave this property. Not because of the prices, but because of the management company. Terrible customer service. No flexibility. Cold hearted people. Recently I noticed numerous tenants vacating within a couple of months. After a few years here, I am starting to understand why and am not far behind them. Best I can say… Beware of wolves in sheep clothing.

Zero stars, 5-6 year tenant.
I left a long review on Yelp
Stay away if you’re looking into renting with them. Your rent will go up every year and management is a joke.
Your apartment should feel like a home and not a transaction.
