Cournale & Co. Geary Blvd, San Francisco

I want to preface this by saying I'm not getting anything out of writing this review. I've just had such a great experience with Cournale & Co and wanted to share my experience. I've been living at one of their properties for about a year now and they are a fantastic rental management company. They're very responsive to any issues we ever have. The moment a work order goes in, we hear back from them in a very timely manner. I've lived in some pretty terribly managed buildings before so I'm incredibly appreciative of how attentive C&C is with us.

Moved into a unit after it had already been lived in for 4 years. They did not clean or repair any damage when I moved in. After my 2 years of tenancy, they are now trying to steal over $4k of my deposit to perform routine maintenance like new paint, replacing blinds, and professional cleaning. This company is the definition of a slumlord. Avoid at all costs.

Worst building managers to date! I am amazed they’re still in business 😠

We really loved the unit/location but communication was lukewarm during our tenancy. It really dropped off when we told them we were moving out and moving cross-country. All of the sudden they were even less helpful, friendly and communicative. Their recommended contractor was SO kind and helpful - the difference between the contractor's demeanor and Erston's during the move out process was really surprising. I would probably rent from them again if I could go back (especially if I could work with someone other than Erston). We have only rented a couple units in SF, but I would say if you rent with Cournale just go into it with lower customer service expectations and you will be content.

DO NOT RENT their apartments, mice walking around like they own it and you can hear noises from upstairs, downstairs and manhole noise from cars driving by. very loud, you can't sleep at all. update: do not rent from them, they won't return your deposit! i will sue them until i get my money back. i moved out because of the mice problem. i hired a cleaning lady for a 4-hour cleaning and a contractor to patch the holes on the wall and cover marks on the wall with new print. cournale is absolutely insane and deducted $2,590 credit from me. if you don't want to lose your deposit even though being a very good and responsible tenant, stay away from them. cournale, see you in court!
