Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews for buildings managed by Mentor Bara reveal a mixed management reputation. While some appreciate the convenient locations, friendly doormen, and well-maintained aspects of the buildings, many highlight serious concerns such as poor responsiveness from management, persistent pest infestations (notably roaches), noise issues from neighbors and ongoing construction, and questionable handling of security deposits. Rent increases are mentioned as arbitrary and sometimes aggressively applied. Garbage management and overall cleanliness vary, with some finding the hallways and facilities lacking upkeep. Prospective renters should be aware of these challenges if considering a property under Mentor Bara’s management.

Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Too expensive for what it is

Pros

One of the doormen (Lloyd) No major issues with the unit

Cons

Cost Construction and on a road with a lot of car traffic New owners took over and increased rent by 11% and would not negotiate Noise isolation above us was non existent, but fine on the units on the sides. We could hear the dog barking constantly They don’t give the staff working there health insurance We did not receive our security deposit for 3 months Building is north facing, no natural light

Advice to the owners

Idk you’ll be happy here if you’re fine with paying more than $6k a month and fine with noise

Former tenant·8 months ago

Horrible unethical landlord

Pros

Great location but huge building going up across the street caused terrible construction noise entire year I was there

Cons

Bug infested - giant cockroaches everywhere Supers hands tied bc of horrible mgmt Do not expect reimbursement of security deposit but DO expect them to find something even if from a previous tenant Poor windows, gross air conditioning units, won’t repaint, hallways are beat up and only thing they are prompt about is giving you names of staff at holidays

Advice to the owners

Practice what you preach
