Review of Candlewood Property Management

By far the absolute worst property management company. In the state. I'm friends with a few Stevens Point undergraduate students and have heard of the predicament that Candlewood has put them in, in the middle of the semester, and it is extremely upsetting and ludicrous. These residents signed a full year-long contract with Candlewood and have paid rent on time, month after month. Recently, Candlewood informed them that the house they reside in, the house that Candlewood themselves created a lease agreement for four people to live there for a full school year, is not able to be lived in for more than two people, according to the city of Stevens Point. Candlewood told the residents that they have two choices; move out immediately or face the consequences. This is happening to four girls who are in the middle of their semesters, with three of them involved in a collegiate sport and all of them working on top of it. To order the residents to move out mid semester, knowing there aren't many housing options available to them, is downright appalling. Never did Candlewood meet with the city to attempt to excuse their mistake, and plead that the city allow these four girls to live there for the remainder of the year, or even the remainder of the semester. Instead of owning up to their own mistake, Candlewood decides to push these four girls who have done nothing wrong, out of their current living situation. If you own property and draw up a binding contract that has been honored up until this incident by the residents, you owe them the courtesy of being civil, and trying to work it out with the city, because it was your mistake and you are liable. I would never recommend anyone live in a Candlewood property. They care only about themselves and making a profit, not about the renters and the turmoil that is caused when they do something such as this.
