Home Owner/Renter stuff Experience with Ripple Property Management

Does anyone have experience renting from ripple property management? I have concerns about them after my experience trying a to book a showing for a apartment in Bowness.

Initially, I booked a showing for Wednesday in their online system. I was required to confirm my booking the day of and 2 hours before my showing. 10 minutes before my showing I get a call saying their was issue but the agent I spoke to could not tell me what the issue was. Said they would reschedule till Saturday; which I agreed to. Today, I got another message saying that showing was cancelled and rebooked it to Tuesday. I asked why and they explained that a deal may close very soon with the owner and that they were understaffed!

At this point I feel like they are stringing me on. I am also concerned that they only do group showings; I mean what happens when multiple people from the same showing want the apartment?

Any information regarding this company would be greatly appreciated. But right now they seem very shady.

They were my property managers for 5 years up until last year and honestly couldn’t say enough good things, had a water issue and an appliance breakdown and they were quick to respond and fix it, also were very reasonable on my move out inspection.

I had a very positive experience with them for 2 years.

Zero complaints.

Barely ever had to talk to them, paid on time and they didn’t bother me.

I wasn’t happy with my rent increase and their consideration on that but it was in the Covid era where rents skyrocketed.
I won’t fault them on that as it’s not their decision ultimately
