Coastline Equity

I rented a few years ago but wanted to warn about 2106 Gates Ave and the management company in general. Apartment A had serious mold issues that they had to tear out and tenants moved out. I lived in Apartment B next door, and the entire year I lived there it was a fight to get them to resolve the humidity issues in our place. Obviously, it was a concern that our neighbors, who we shared walls with, had terrible mold, so we wanted to get our unit checked out. They had checked the air a few times and claimed everything was normal. But because they never did anything and our dehumidifier filled up after 5 hours (not normal), we had to hire our own guy to come out and test our humidity. They were not happy we hired someone else, but what else were we supposed to do when our own management would not help us with a health safety concern? One of our bathroom walls read as 100% wet. We asked for wall removal and to have it dried out, but coastline refused. I was sick every month I lived at this place (which was not normal for me) and am convinced it played a part in developing a panic disorder (mold exposure can contribute to high levels of anxiety, which I already had). When I moved out at the end of 2022, I've only been sick 3 times. Carpets had to be at least 15 years old, I found bugs crawling out of them at one point. All our neighbors hated the units but some continued to live there because of the cheap price. I know some of the tenants were planning to sue them. Maybe the management has gotten better, but in any case, not working with your tenants when there is a health concern is against rental tenant laws and the lease agreement. They also charged us for normal wear and tear--carpet cleaning (as if they do that, and I had told them after we moved in that the carpets were in terrible condition, requesting them to be removed or replaced and they said no) and painting. I told them normal wear and tear should not be taken out of our deposit, but they ghosted me and charged us anyway. Awful management and please avoid the Gates Ave apartments at all costs.

I live in Hillside Terrace Apartments on Rolling Hills Road in Torrance and I am very pleased with the new manager Adnan. I had an issue with getting an extra garage space and he and Kaelyn solved my problem in 2 days! I am extremely happy that they are trying to help their tenants as much as they can! I hope they are around the complex for a longtime to come!

Jennifer and Hilda went to amazing people. They go above and beyond and are truly a breath of fresh air. They dont sugarcoat anything and give it to you exactly how you expect it when youre trying to rent an apartment if they dont know the answers they always say they will get back to you as soon as they find out and honestly less than 24 hours youre getting a response back. They have been nothing less than Spectacular.
