SJC Management Group

I’d give negative stars if i could. I rented a house from them for 3 yrs and they were the most rudest people i’ve ever met. They were rude to my wife while i was deployed, they gave us no mail box key and told us we had to replace it ourselves. During our move out we spent over a $ 1000 on professional cleaners to clean our house but during the inspection they said our house was still dirty. When we asked to see their receipts they refused to show us. They refused to replace our broken dishwasher and ended up charging us for it when we moved out.

BEWARE!!! This place will not only scam you out of your deposit, they will also pin repairs that they wanted done and stick you with the bill.
If you see SJC is the Property Management Company, on a property you are going to rent.. run! DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE. You will regret it

If you find a property SJC rents that you are in love with, just know going into it, that you will be doing almost as many repairs as if you were buying, and that when you move out, even if you follow their instructions to the letter, they will be keeping hundreds of dollars of your deposit, and won’t explain why.
We liked the rental property we lived in, but, like everyone else here, it was rented to us in a deplorable condition. Basically, the entire move-​out cleaning checklist had been ignored; when we told them about everything we found, they said, «then you aren’t obligated to do those things when you move out.»
Because we loved the property and the neighborhood, we stayed, and did the cleaning/​lawn maintenance to get it up to par, that should have been done before we moved in.
Red flags began to go up when things like the ice maker broke, and they refused to do anything about it, citing it as «non-​essential»; the railing on our porch was rotting, and they wouldn’t repair it. Our exterior doors were had such terrible weather-​stripping, you could close a rug in the door and not even know it; they refused to repair that, too. It became clear that if we didn’t want to live in a run-​down home, we would have to do the repairs ourselves.
When we moved out, we did EVERYTHING on the cleaning checklist, and more. Every wall, window, blind, door light fixture and baseboard was washed; I removed every shelf, clip and bracket from the refrigerator, and moved all appliances and swept/​mopped underneath; all cabinets and closets were washed; porches and garage were blown out/​any cobwebs swept out of remote corners; bathrooms and kitchen were left sparkling and fresh. We then hired the required «licensed carpet cleaning company» to do the carpets, and took pictures of every room and wall to document the breathtakingly spotless condition of the property.
After all that, they charged over $ 300 for cleaning. They refuse to provide either written or photo documentation of what they they felt was inadequately cleaned.
It really is a brilliant scam they have coordinated with the cleaning company; it seems the cleaning company does NOTHING, then, SJC authorizes hundreds of dollars in cleaning fees to the previous tenant. If the new tenants complain (as we did) when they arrive, with their moving truck, and find a filthy house, SJC will send them back, for maybe an hour’s worth of work; otherwise, someone is pocketing a load of money for doing nothing.
My husband and I managed 12 rental units for 2 ½ years, when someone moved out, we scheduled a walk-​through with the departing tenant, to point out any damages/​needed cleaning, and would provide documentation of anything else we found in the two weeks after they left, when returning the remainder of their deposit. When a new tenant moved in, we would do a walk-​through with them, and have them sign a statement that the unit was in move-​in ready condition, with the entire move-​out cleaning checklist having been completed; they had two weeks to report anything that had been missed on the checklist. SJC does not do walk-​throughs with the tenant on move-​in or move-​out.

I called them on Saturday, it’s Tuesday, no call back. That’s probably a godd indication of how they manage properties. No longer interested; especially after reading these other comments. Get it together or pick another line of work.

What a horrible, HORRIBLE experience with Jason from SJC. Proves that daddy giving you a company doesn’t mean you’re capable of running it sufficiently. Close to NIL communication with him. I email, leave work orders, call and visit the office and he either doesn’t get back to me, is an automated response, he’s «out right now», hides/​is busy or tells me to talk to someone else because he doesn’t know or it wasn’t his fault.
Home fixes were long and drawn out if done at all. Most of the fixes were a band-​aid that only needed to be fixed again. I honestly don’t think he contacted the owners for things that should have been fixed with first signs. Instead, he waited for them to be major repairs that most likely cost a pretty penny for the owners to hire outside. His contractor, who I believe Jason created another contracting/​side business with, must have gotten his license from a cereal box! These two are crooks and I hope that owners see through them sooner rather than later. Save your money and go elsewhere! If it sounds too good to be true, it is!
I moved my family out as soon as I could. I wish I had the means to call the health dept on him and fight for all the things that were ruined including our health bills.

If there were negative stars, SJC and their property manager Bill U. deserve them. They are unethical, and like everyone said here, didn’t make repairs. Even to the point where our carport roof fell off and was twisting in the wind at eye-​level – just enough to guillotine you – it stayed like that for three months. Bill also threatened that we’d have no heat over the winter (which I’m pretty sure is illegal, or at the very least, not great customer service). They didn’t return our full deposit when we left the place spotless and followed the rental agreement to a T. They also played games with sending it to our old address, so it spent time forwarding through the mail system. They ignored two certified letters that we sent – they were returned «Unclaimed» by the post office. Any BS game you can think of, SJC and Bill did it. He is totally smarmy and any landlord that works with them is also unethical. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way.

.This company only cares about their numbers and not the tenants. They only do the bare minimum each and every time there’s an issue and bold face lie to you about the units issues. The property seemed liveable then all the sudden internal issues occurred i addressed them to SJC only to be treated like I didn’t know what I was talking about even when I had outside inspections done. This company should burn and im surprised they are still in business.

THEY ARE A SCAM.
I called about a house for a rent. I asked how many pets were allowed. They told me three, so I put in an application. AFTER I paid the $ 72 application fee, they told me that the property only accepted two pets and refused to refund our money. They are lying thieves.

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PEOPLE PLEASE!!! We are good/​honest people who always try to do the right thing!!! and this people took advantage of that! They will screw you bad, they are lairs and they just want your money! Read the bad reviews first they are TRUE! If you still decide to rent a home from them, remember that you can’t trust this people and u should get everything in writing. Definetly do NOT recommend!

Wow. It should have been a sign when we met the «agent» at the property. Instead of greeting us or acknowledging that we were waiting outside of the home, she went straight inside the property. She told us to look around and let her know if we were interested while she stayed in the kitchen texting oh her phone. She was horrible at her job to say the least.
The place however was great and we signed all the paperwork. The really WEIRD thing is that SJC requires a year-​long commitment from the renter, but states in the same contract that it is a month-​to-​month agreement. So basically, we’re on the hook for one year but they can cancel at any time. This makes absolutely no sense at all. We’re now basically planning to be kicked out at any time.
Lastly, just like others have mentioned, SJC cares absolutely nothing about repairs to the property. They are completely okay with NOT fixing anything during the lease and simply refer back to a blanket statement, «don’t worry about it if it was like that when you moved in.» HORRIBLE.
My advice to anyone is to NOT do anything at all with SJC. The owner, Jason, who you would think would want to make it the best experience possible for any client, could care less about client relations. It’s all contracts… zero focus on customer service.
If any property says SJC along with it, RUN!
