Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Ben Landa underscores significant management and maintenance challenges. Many renters report poor cleanliness, ineffective pest control, and unresponsive management, coupled with issues like delayed security deposit returns and insufficient apartment upkeep. Complaints also highlight rude staff behavior and neglected common areas. However, a few tenants note small, quiet buildings with good neighbors and acceptable rent prices, appreciating occasional responsive staff and proximity to amenities. Overall, prospective renters should expect inconsistent maintenance and owner responsiveness, necessitating patience and proactive communication when living in these buildings.

Reviews

Former tenant·33 minutes ago

Management office is full of scammers

Pros

Nothing at all.

Cons

I moved out 3 months ago and I still haven’t received my security deposit back. They tell me to email them when I call, and then they never reply to emails.

Advice to the owners

Be professional and follow the law
