This company's threats to sue authors of critical reviews on CitySearch (see below) perfectly illustrates the problem with this business and its attitude toward tenants. Appleton proves the merit of such complaints by demonstrating just the behavior complained of in its response. And here's another complaint, for which I'm sure they'll threaten to sue.\r
\r
Had the great misfortune to live in a property briefly affiliated with Appelton. The company hired by unethical landlord, Jan Holibaugh, specifically to help her push out tenants who raised issues with negligently maintained, unsafe property at 5340 SE Milwaukie Ave Avenue in Portland, OR. Appleton took a totally adversarial position with respect to the tenants, and within about a month, over 50% of the building moved out specifically due to their bullying and dishonest tactics. Tactics used against tenants included threatening to destroy tenant property and retaliating against tenants who requested basic repairs. Avoid these people at all costs. \r
