Dede's Rentals did a good job of responding quickly and implementing a temporary fix on a fallen fence. They are currently following up with a quotes for a full repair/replacement of the broken fence.

I applied for a rental with DeDe's Rental recently and was impressed with my experience. During the stress of Covid the office staff were friendly, informative, practiced safe precautions when I had to enter the office, and answered all of my questions promptly via email. Their website for submitting maintenance requests and rent is easy to use. I would recommend working with them.

I got approved to my apartment this last Wednesday and I am more than happy with my experience at Dede’s Rental, I especially want to recognize Susana Hernandez. She made applying for my first apartment smoother than what I expected. She was very comprehensive and made me feel comfortable in asking questions about the process as it being my first time. This is a huge milestone for me and I got the best experience with the help of Susana.
