Jun 09, 2022 Report
They have such high standards. My mother lived in the same home for many many years. When the private owner passed away, so also went their relationship. The son of the deceased automatically turned responsibility over to California oaks, to manage the rental. Immediately they raised the rent. They continued to raise the rent as much as they could and as often as they could. And then they started harassing my Mom.

Eventually and not long thereafter, my Mom lost the home and we had to move. This was many many years ago. It doesn't matter how long ago it was. That will forever stay with me. Ever since then, I've not only disliked California oaks, but I despise them. And I tell everyone how I feel. Quickly I learned that many felt the same. Had very similar, if not exactly the same experience. Over two decades later, I'm seeing that they still have such high standards and are extremely difficult to deal with.

I've been looking for a new place to live for quite some time now. Several places I have liked, but as soon as I see who they are managed by, and if it's California oaks, no way! Skip! Thank you, but no thank you!

We have been renting for 10 years with Cal Oaks. The staff has been nothing but kind and professional. When we report a problem there is someone here to fix it within 24 hours. They have been wonderful to rent from.

California Oaks are the slumlords of Ventura County. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for real estate law is absolutely deplorable.

I have been renting though Cal Oaks for several years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. They are very responsive and proactive about helping you when things come up, repairs need to be done, etc. The online portal is also an added bonus, and it brings me peace of mind to know I'm renting through an established, legitimate property management company in town.
