Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for buildings managed by Mariam Farooq reveal significant management issues. While some tenants report a clean environment and responsive communication, many express frustration over unprofessional experiences, particularly during the application process, with unreturned deposits and disorganized communication. Heat and hot water issues are notable concerns, leading to discomfort for residents. Additionally, garbage management has been criticized. Despite good neighborly relations, the overall sentiment suggests potential renters should be cautious due to reported discrepancies in leasing practices and unresolved maintenance issues. Improvements in owner responsiveness and building conditions are highly recommended.

Incompetent SkyHigh Realty

Pros

cant think of any

Cons

I didn’t end up renting from this building but my experience with Sky High Realty during the application process was one of the sketchiest I’ve ever had. The agents called me almost daily to schedule different show times yet repeatedly refused to show me the specific apartment I was interested in. They tried to pressure me into taking a different apartment in the building without even seeing it. The agents clearly weren’t communicating with each other and the entire experience was disorganized and unprofessional. To top it off, they never returned my deposit so I had to get my bank involved. I don't trust an owner who uses this company. Also u have to pay for your own heat and hot water at this building so coned bills are $600+ in the winter

Advice to the owners

Don't use SkyHigh Realty - they are incompetent and untrustworthy
