Cb Properties

Very unprofessional! I scheduled a walk through of one of their rentals in Oroville before deciding whether or not to rent it. My boyfriend, 3 month old and I live and Paradise and we both work in Chico. I scheduled this appointment with them the week before. The only time that they could show the rental was when we were both working. We both took off of work early to look at it. I drove to Paradise to pick up my child before driving down to Oroville and my boyfriend drove directly from work in Chico. He noticed when he got there that there was other people looking at the property also so he went in without me to let them know that we were there and interested. This is when they informed us that the property had already been rented and they were doing the move in inspection. Really?! Absolutely ridiculous! Not only did I take off work early and drive the entire county to be there, but this lady did not even apologize to us for the extreme inconvenience she caused and the money that we lost. Instead she made up lies about how she had tried to call and was unable to leave a message on my phone. My phone is in perfect working order and has been receiving phone calls and messages the entire week. I would never rent from these people and I will make sure to let everyone know of this situation. I can’t imagine how they treat their actual tenants if this is how they treat people that are looking at their rentals.

I came to CB Properties as a property owner hoping to ease the difficulty of finding a good renter. During the time my property was with them, they did not bring me one rental application. They also called with a water leak «emergency» hoping to send a maintenance person out on a service call. A friend of mine was in the area and stopped by within an hour. There was no water leak or water damage. It did appear they had loosened the connection to the water heater for a short period of time. Highly suspicious. My keys could not be found when I decided to pull the property from their management. They promised to mail them, but they were never received even after followup phone calls. Would not recommend risking your property to their care.

Extremely unprofessional. We initially turned in an application for a house that someone got to just before us. We turned in the application anyways and were told that with the application fee we could apply it to any house that they had available. We (my boyfriend and I) turned in along with the applications a reference list, proof of renters insurance, proof of pet rabies vaccinations, a co-​signer letter in case it was needed, employer references, and copies of pay checks to help move the process along. We have extremely good references from past landlords as well. The first house we viewed was showed to us by a very friendly older lady who was very sweet, and we really enjoyed working with her. The next four houses we saw, were showed to us by the lady who said she handled all rental applications and she was extremely rude. She would just stand outside on her phone while we looked in the house and didn’t show us anything or explain anything to us. Regardless, we settled on one of the houses and asked her to apply our application to that home. I followed up by calling every day for the next two weeks. If I got an answer, the same lady would tell me she was still waiting to hear back from one of our landlords and could not move forward until she spoke to them. Keep in mind that said landlord was from over three years ago and was your typical college campus slum-​lord. I expressed to the woman that these slumlords more than likely don’t even remember me living there, if they even were to get a hold of them, as they owned over 30 properties. I suggested that they call my landlord prior to that one, as well as the THREE following, as I knew they probably would not reach that particular person. Not only did they apparently not reach them, they never even returned our calls, or contacted us. If they were not going to approve us because of one landlord from years ago in our college days, the professional thing to do would be call us and let us know. Instead, they told me for weeks they would call when they had an answer, and never had the decency to even call.
I would like to call this waste of time and money a blessing in disguise because the houses we were considering renting from them were all trash and we were settling for a high price. We ended up finding an independent home owner to rent from and couldn’t be happier with the beautiful home we ended up in.
Use craigslist to find a place and do not waste your time with this company. They just give you the run around instead of being straight forward and to the point.

I highly recommend not doing business with these people! They did a background check on me & seen that I have no credit & said that I needed a cosigner. I payed the fee for my gramma to cosign & they said that I was good. After a week I received a call stating that I owe a small claims fee from 2009. I got the case number & someone with the same name as me did wrong with a property management & will not rent to me because of it. I did alot of foot work to get the case file & to see that there is no Birth Date, Signature, SSN or Photo ID of the person. I also tried contacting the person that took this lady to court & I’ve yet to receive nothing. Also in the file it stated that the lady owed rent in August of 2008 which I wasn’t 18 years of age. They are very unprofessional! Don’t waste your time trying to get a place with them!

This property management is incredibly unprofessional. My roommates and I are between the ages of 19 and 22 and we have lived here for 5 months. During this time we have had No noise complaints, no issues with the neighbors, and have paid rent not only on time but early every month. Most of us not only work but go to school full time as well. Even though we have been excellent tenants they still treat us like we are dumb teenagers. We have had several repairs needed to be done and they have only fixed one since we moved in. Also, one of my roommates decided to move and the lady humiliated my boyfriend and I in front of everyone in the office telling us that if we can’t prove we can still live there she will evict us immediately. So was so rude I was in tears. Don’t get me wrong not all of the lady’s in there are cruel like that, but if you are a young hard working person like myself they will still discriminate against you and treat you like dirt.

My roommates and I, all mid twenties, rented a house from CB last year/​early this year. And while we loved that house, the owner of our house and the neighbors were an absolute nightmare. The owner, who was supposed to stop by once a week to do some «landscaping», routinely showed up whenever he pleased without prior written consent and I recall only 2 occasions where he actually did any physical yard work. Our neighbor, who was a spiteful, bitter, hateful old bag of a human being frequently called our property manager and the homeowner to tattle on us for the most ridiculous things even though we were very quiet, respectful neighbors. I realize most people think «college age» and immediately assume we’re loud party animals but we’re in fact all working professionals and my boyfriend/​roommate is a classically trained pianist. She hated that my roommate worked third shift and complained about him starting his car to go to work at 1am. Just an awful person… Regardless, all of these issues with the owner led to us getting almost none of our security deposit back despite us hardly having any furniture and living extremely gently because the owner hired someone at almost $ 40/​hr to clean our house for 18 hours after we moved out (so ungodly unnecessary). I realize none of this is CB’s fault and everyone at their office was super friendly, helpful and professional, however I was disappointed that even though my property manager agreed that the owner and the neighbor were ridiculous, and even though the owner frequently stopping by was in complete violation of our lease, there wasn’t really anything she could do to help. It is absolutely not her fault that Paradise is a town that hates young people though. With that being said, I would absolutely rent a different property from them as their staff was intelligent, friendly and very professional and they have best selection of nice properties in town.

My sisters and i have been using CB for the past two years and are extremely happy with them! We NEVER have to worry about our property as CB takes care of everything – minor repairs, collecting rent, finding tenants, getting estimates on major repairs, etc. Highly recommend!
