Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant reviews of buildings managed by Deodat Lowtan consistently report severe maintenance issues, including pervasive pest infestations, poor cleanliness, inadequate heating, and structural problems. Garbage management quality varies but is often cited as insufficient. The landlord is frequently described as unresponsive, confrontational, and dismissive of tenant concerns, with many renters needing to handle repairs themselves or dealing with delayed fixes. Several accounts mention problematic neighbors and noise. Rent collection practices and communication methods are outdated and inconvenient. These patterns suggest prospective tenants should expect significant challenges regarding building upkeep and management responsiveness under Deodat Lowtan’s ownership.

Roaches Poor Maintenance

Pros

Close to Maria Hernandez

Cons

Roaches, roaches, roaches. The block this apartment is on is also quite unwelcoming.

Former tenant·17 minutes ago

Avoid at all cost

Pros

Nothing at all

Cons

No window in living room means no ventilation and it's impossible to cool in the summer. Full of cockroaches and mice. Window frames in bedroom are so drafty you can feel the wind blow from indoors. Ceiling leaks heavily in every room. If you ever call the landlord to ask for repairs he will make excuses and lie and yell at you. Look him up to read all the horror stories on Reddit and the news
