Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback regarding buildings managed by Herman Jac reveals considerable management issues. Many renters report poor responsiveness from the landlord, frequent maintenance neglect, and unresolved pest problems, particularly roaches. Despite some buildings being located in convenient areas with nice features like rooftops and clean units, noise levels and inconsiderate neighbors often disrupt residents’ comfort. There are serious concerns about the landlord withholding security deposits, sometimes despite legal orders to return them. Shared amenities such as laundry are often broken or poorly maintained. Overall, tenants find the management neglectful, prioritizing profit over tenant well-being and property upkeep.
