Review of Dix Brown by neveragain

"Dix Brown is an absolute slumlord. Things used to get fixed on time with a little prodding when renting from Dixon Electric, but now you're lucky if they ever do. He texts incredibly passive-aggressively and thinks he can do whatever he wants with the property. Even the maintenance employees don't like him. Pandemic willing, when I move out of here, I'm going to write a strongly worded letter on why they need to fire him before they lose more tenants. Dixon Electric was a mostly pleasant company to rent from before they hired this asshole."

Review of Newtown Crossing Apartments by NewReviewer

"Terrible experience living in these apartments. The only good part about them is that they are close to the UK campus. Maintenance and other office staff would enter our apartment whenever they wanted without a 24 hour notice. It made me feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. There were constantly ants everywhere even with no food or anything lying around. The managers are so disrespectful and rude. They do not care about your wellbeing. They just care about sucking money from you. They were also doing work on the roof for two weeks straight before finals week and it was extremely loud. There was constant stomping and music playing during this time. I also filed a complaint about our neighbors because they constantly had parties and were loud 24/7. NOTHING was done. Do NOT live here."

"The landlord wasn’t an issue since he was impossible to get in contact with...it was the property manager, Allison, that was the issue. She was extremely disrespectful to tenants, played favorites, and even stole from at least one tenant. The building was clearly falling apart but any issues were immediately the tenant’s fault instead of the possibility that the issues were due to the property being old and not maintained. Most repairs by her were made with duct tape. She continuously entered apartments unannounced and would threaten to ignore work orders if you didn’t do exactly what she wanted."

Review of Lana McKinley by L

"Lana has been nothing short of awesome ! My partner and I moved into an apartment complex she manages and we have loved it here. Any time we have had an issue, Lana is immediately on top of it. She is very serious about pest control, and so this has never been an issue. I have seen roach infestations elsewhere and I feel super fortunate that Lana does not let that happen to her properties. She is always super sweet and quick to respond, remembers little details about my partner and I - which is important to me personally, because it levels out the power dynamic between tenant/landlord and makes her very approachable. We moved from a 1 bed to a 2 bed in the same apartment complex and Lana made it a super easy transition for us. I cannot recommend her enough ! Every apartment complex has its quirks of course, and I have my share of inconveniences, but when it comes down to it, you cant beat affordable housing with a lovely property manager like Lana."

Review of Anderson Communities by frisco175175

"Anderson Communities is the shithole of the city. Squirrel infestation in the building was dealt with after 3 months of being kept up all night and literal holes being made in my ceiling. Took them 3 months to call in a real animal control company. First unit they moved me into had urine-soaked carpets so they conveniently moved me to a more expensive unit with no discount from my previous agreed upon unit and rent. The campus office is rude as hell and doesn't even pretend to care about renters. They towed my car after not giving me a parking pass, and it took numerous phone calls to even get reimbursed for that. I was told numerous times that issues with the apartment "weren't their problem" and hung up on. Stay away at all costs, there's not too many brain cells over there."

Review of Micah Poston / Burton Properties by fer

"He did no cleaning or repairs between tenants, and left all of it up to the one roommate who had lived there the prior year. That roommate was the only one who was able to get any large-scale maintenance done, often by calling the landlord multiple times and/or threatening legal action. The apartment on the first floor (there was one on the first and one on the 2nd/3rd) had bedbugs and it was entirely up to the tenants to rectify the situation upon moving out. We left the apartment significantly better than we found it (patched holes in the wall that were already there, removed things that were glued/taped to the ceiling, cleaned things that were not clean when we moved in) and didn’t receive any portion of our security deposit ($1,750 total) nor any explanation of why. All 4 of us repeatedly called and texted and emailed the landlord. as well as Burton Properties about it for months, citing security deposit law violations, and were never responded to. They will literally ghost you about the security deposit when you move out. Finally, after leaving an angry voicemail 3 months after moving out, I received about half of my deposit in the mail with a post-it note saying “-150 for cleaning and carpet repair” scrawled on it. No other roommate received anything. I sent a letter citing violations of KY Security Deposit Law and demanding he return the full amount to all of us and included our forwarding addresses and heard nothing. He violated KY security deposit law on multiple instances, but I am a recent graduate who doesn’t have the time or money to go to small claims court, and he knows that. If you live in any of their properties (there are a ton around UK so beware) I highly recommend reading the aforementioned code in detail and drafting some sort of agreement to ensure that he follow it, because I have no doubt that Burton Properties and Micah Poston make thousands of dollars off of the backs of college students who have no power to hold them accountable.
