Pros:
I lived in unit 2R for 4 years, and loved how the apartment had updated finishes, as well as an in-unit W/D, dishwasher, wine cooler, and keyless entry.
Cons:
BBRE Management LLC is frankly awful - just not the sort of people you would want governing your living arrangements. As I said, I lived there for 4 years and always paid my rent on time, but on 2 occasions a delay on the bank’s side caused the payments to be a few days late, and they tried to hit me with a fee both times. Jacqueline in particular will come up with any excuse to fight with you and will argue over everything - I reached out to have one of the lights in the ceiling replaced, and her reply was non-committal and just frankly irritating. I could definitely go on, but the most major issue is that now that I’ve left, BBRE is nit picking and threatening not to return my security deposit. I am a professional who works a ton of hours and literally paid someone to pack me and clean my apartment when I moved - I’m not someone who deserves having their $4000k withheld. Long story short, you may be enticed by the look of the apartment and it’s location, but I guarantee that this awful landlord will sour the experience.
Advice to owner:
Be kind. Work with your tenants. Don’t incessantly try to get them to accept liability for things they are downright not liable for. It casts a dark shadow and what would otherwise be a good experience.
