Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by Moses Cowan reveals consistent issues with management style and property upkeep. Tenants report poor heating, cleanliness, and garbage management, as well as persistent pest problems. Many describe Cowan as intrusive and unresponsive, with a tendency to harass tenants and enforce arbitrary rules, especially regarding internet service and apartment access. There are serious concerns about privacy invasion and security deposit returns. While some appreciate the building locations and neighbor interactions, these positives are heavily outweighed by complaints about neglect, lack of professionalism, and a toxic landlord-tenant relationship. Prospective renters should approach with caution.

Reviews

Former tenant·1 month ago

glad I am not living there anymore

Pros

brick walls in some rooms

Cons

The company does not provide the name of a representative, address, or telephone number. Did not return the deposit and only turned on the heat in the fall after we filed a complaint with the city.

Former tenant·10 hours ago

Horrible landlord duh

Pros

Right by Herbert Von King Park

Cons

In 6 months we’ve seen 3 mice and the landlord is negligent. As has been documented by other tenants here, he’s a weirdo with arbitrary rules and obviously lives on the first floor of the building (with his maybe girlfriend??).
