Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenant feedback on Eric Samson's properties consistently points to serious management deficiencies. Residents report pervasive cleanliness issues, poor garbage handling, persistent pest infestations, and inadequate heating. Many describe the buildings as unsafe due to drug activity and broken security features. Tenant concerns about unresponsive or ineffective management and maintenance staff are common, with calls for substantial improvements in building upkeep and security measures. Loud noise levels and problematic neighbors further diminish living conditions. Overall, renters advise the landlord to invest significantly in property maintenance and improve responsiveness to create safer, cleaner, and more livable buildings.

Advice to the owners

DO BETTER WITH TAKING CARE OF THE BUILDING AND THE TENANTS THAT’S PUTTING MONEY IN YOUR POCKET. YOU LITERALLY DOES NOTHING AND THE LANDLORD THAT YOU HAVE, DOES NOTHING! WE LITERALLY HAVE TO RUN YOU GUYS DOWN TO FIX SOMETHING IN THE APARTMENT, WHICH SHOULDN’T BE. YOU LITERALLY HAVE US LIVING IN A MOLD INFECTIOUS BUILDING AND YOU KEEP DOING HALF ASS JOBS AND THE MOLD COMES BACK EVERY SINGLE YEAR! IT’S DISGUSTING!! THIS WHOLE DAMN BUILDING IS DISGUSTING!
