Kampfer Enterprises Inc. Review

These are not good people to give large deposits to.They will not return any of it.They literally lied and claimed items that didn t exist on our move put.

While a renter, we went weeks without heat during deep winter...they claimed it was the vendors fault for not fixing it and were rude when we d call to ask for help.

They treated us badly, as if we were subhuman for any complaints...even when my dad passed away and I had to cry and grieve in a freezing house!

Criminals!!!

Really disappointed. Don't recommend for commercial real estate.

Jeff the handy man is awesome! He s professional, trustworthy, good with pets, contacts you before he comes over, and does good fast work. I think he can build and entire house out of the on hand inventory in his van.

I ve lived in my duplex for about 5 years and in that time I ve gotten a new roof, gutters, water heater, bathroom fan/heater, sliding glass door, outside paint, and just recently Jeff revamped the parts in my toilet s tank.

It s not like this place was a pile when I moved in they just replace stuff when it needs to be. Also there are no unannounced visits like I ve had with other landlords in Corvallis.

Linn the office manger is caring and understanding. Best property management in town.

Nearly half of my $1500 deposit was taken out! Honestly, if they had given me back 2/3 of the deposit, I wouldn't have complained. I could have hired professional cleaners for less, but I was confident I could do the job myself. Guess not.

Larry is nice enough, and the people working for him are nice to your face, but there was an issue in the past where they were not shredding confidential information that was used for applications. I thought maybe these previous reviews were exaggerated or maybe not the best tenants until I experienced it myself. I created an account to leave my first review regarding my experience. I was given inaccurate information upon signing the lease, spent well over 20 hours cleaning the apartment I rented (better than when I moved in -- there was black mold and items left by contractors), and I still got billed for 11 hours of "cleaning". Does it really take that long to clean a place that has already been pretty throughly cleaned?

I understand why carpet cleaning would be taken out of the deposit -- I was told the carpet would be professionally cleaned when we moved in, but there were still stains and it was black around the edges. Other than normal wear and tear, there was no damage and I have pictures before we moved in and after we moved out. I don't believe a walk-through was done before we moved in, and even though I requested that I be there for the walk-through after we moved out, that did not happen.

It is borderline fraudulent for a rental company to take money out of a "refundable" deposit to clean the property when a tenant has done their best to keep the place clean, and also clean it for the next tenants. There are certain things that fall under the leaser's responsibility, and I don't believe that a tenant should pay for "steam cleaning linoleum" when they have scrubbed and mopped every inch of it.

In the past, I've rented from private owners and companies, and if there was an issue with ventilation in the bathroom, they would have provided a dehumidifier or another solution. Tenants shouldn't have to live with black mold and un-repaired walls from leaking pipes and smoke filling the living room because the front door has a huge gap. Granted, they did send maintenance for certain issues, but they kept coming up, and I had to miss class to wait on occasion. For an entire weekend, we were left without water, and because of faulty wiring, half of our electricity kept shutting off!

Summary -- avoid the headache -- rent from a place that is cheap!! They might not actually be profiting off your deposit, but they are avoiding paying out of their own! You know it's bad when one of their contractors says negative things about them to you!

Very rude. And if you smoke they will not even let you fill out an application. Which is whatever, its not against the law. They should just make it well known and not let people waste time going in to fill out app. All craigslist posts should clearly state they will not rent to smokers.

The office gals are always professional and have a good sense of humor. Kampfer has some of the most beautiful and properly maintained houses in Corvallis for rent.
