STAY AWAY! My partner and I rented an apartment from Farnam (Zak) in spring 2021. Because we were on the other side of the country, we were not able to view the apartment in person before signing the lease (video tour). However, in a video tour and in a subsequent email exchange with Farnam, we explicitly asked whether there were any mold issues with the apartment and were assured that there were not. This was a lie. When we moved in, there were several square feet of mold in several rooms, visible to the naked eye, and clearly detectable by the nose. There was also severe mold in one of the

I experienced nothing but friendliness and kindness with Farnam workers, but I had no idea that I was renting an apartment under OCEAN MANAGEMENT and they were finding residents through Farnam. If you're looking to rent through Farnam Realty, be sure that Ocean Management is NOT involved. Go on Ocean management's google reviews page as it speaks for itself. Just RUN.
Update 8/4/21: ocean management's Google page has disappeared, but their company hasn't.

One of their trucks (FGG- their landscaping arm) rear ended me today because i took too long at a light for him. Then he sped off while i pulled over to look at the damage. You'd think that someone in a company truck would avoid pulling stunts like that when there's contact information printed on the side. Whatever.
