Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Tenants generally find Martin Newman's buildings responsive and appreciate timely issue resolution, especially regarding pest control and repairs. The locations are convenient with good neighbor relations, but noise levels can be high due to street activity and neighboring apartments. Cleanliness and garbage management vary, with some reports of unclean common areas and lingering odors from nearby establishments. Heating quality is inconsistent, sometimes insufficient during winter. Some renters express dissatisfaction with rent increases and management communication, urging greater transparency and better building upkeep. Overall, management is proactive but improvements in maintenance and building conditions would enhance tenant satisfaction.

Reviews

Former tenant·8 minutes ago

I love living here

Pros

The landlord is very responsive to any requests we put in and I've never had a problem with pests or rodents.

Cons

the noise can be brutal but that's given with the location. Also the noise from people walking around upstairs and neighbors dogs! They also just increased our rent by 300 for no real reason?

Advice to the owners

give us a reason for increasing the rent?
