Review of Phil-Henry Sadlo by HappyCamper

"I've seen a couple reviews of Phil Henry Sadlo's (PVH rentals) and I'm not discrediting any reviews, but I wanted to give my own personal one. When I first moved there, I needed to get into a place quickly and they made moving in very quick. Even though they still had to maintenance some areas of the house, they allowed me to move in a few days before my lease (for free, I'm pretty sure) while they finished their work during the week. A year later and I'll probably sign the lease for a 3rd time. Phil is kind and I've always felt comfortable around him. Property manager Ally is helpful and accommodating. She can be short, which can come off hateful to some, but I'm not one to overthink and she always responded immediately to me. They are truly understanding people, including the maintenance crew, and I would highly recommend renting from them. Only bad part about living on this street and I don't consider it their responsibility, but there are A LOT of break ins on this street. However, since the cameras have been installed outside, Phil and Ally were able to record the break ins and there has been significantly less!"

Review of Dane Stuart by tanacles

"Found ads for some of his properties on Facebook. Dane has been attentive and polite. We rented a space he recently renovated and he was quick to fix unforeseen problems such as the breaker tripping with multiple kitchen appliances plugged in. The property includes a yard and is totally pet friendly, including one time pet deposit. He responds to our texts quickly and has fixed all issues we have brought up, minor or not. We were given a huge discount (around $3k worth of rent) for signing a longer lease with him. The property is well maintained and the renovations were lovely. We will likely sign another two year lease with him. Price of $750/mo plus $200 all utilities seems very fair for our 2BR, we are just a few minutes from Downtown and closer to our jobs."

Review of Wendy & Oscar Thornton by sunflowerdaisypansy

"I've been renting with them on and off for around three years total and after shifting around to other living situations with other landlords, I've landed solely with the Thorntons. I intend to rent with them for as long as possible. They are very professional and put a lot of work and passion into the houses they rent out. I've never had a bad experience with them. The lease is always well-written and gone over in detail. Any maintenance issues are answered almost immediately and handled very quickly. After ten years of living in and around Lexington, they're the best landlords I've ever encountered in this town. Highly recommend."

"Mr. Shields is AMAZING. He always responds in a timely manner and has no problem with fixing anything I bring to his attention, right away. He is very respectful and professional. Best property I have ever lived in and to top that affordable. Mr. Shields is one of the BEST around town, he keeps his properties in tip top shape as he does his own."

Review of Kaufmann Properties by Jan Sucks

"I’m writing this from the experience of 2 friends. Jan is the manager at Kauffman properties. She is a stone cold hateful woman who says she won’t lease to boys. She won’t let you store anything in the basement. She drives by or has other people drive by to check on what you’re doing and its creepy. She also has to have monthly check ins on your apartment. She will tell you she’s coming in a day or so but when she gets there she barges right in without knocking. She used her own key. Obviously she’s not allowed to open anything but it’s still annoying that she has to do monthly check ins on 22 year olds. If you’re worried about your tenants then don’t rent to college kids.. ya know. She will also get pissed if the tiniest bit of your wheel is off the gravel and in the grass. Other people have told me that when their friend stopped out front with a dog that she thought the tenants had snuck a dog on the property. So she tried to fine them. When my friends mother tried to contact her about specifics Jan told her she can only speak to the tenant... which doesn’t make sense since her mom pays the bills and was asking simple questions. She also said she would fine you $25 for every unnecessary email she received and take it from your deposit. She’s a roach and I have told every single one of my friends to literally rent from ANYBODY else. She has those yellow signs mostly in the campus areas of University, State Street, Elizabeth and some on Fontaine. Avoid the Kauffman’s."

Review of Brandywine Apartments by NoThanks

"Overall, this place is decent. They were a little over the top with the "threatening" letters (people not picking up their pet waste, having stuff on their balcony, all the way down to having single broken window blinds) that were sent out to the entire building/complex. Lots of annoying small hidden fees (had to pay for a gym access card, pool band, etc), and the mail system was pretty awful (they say they are checked in/signed for, but really you just walk in and take a package off the shelf, so in theory anyone could take anything- I never signed for a single one). The apartment itself was in good shape, never had pest problems or anything, and the community was pretty quiet/safe. I had a few maintenance problems which was hard to get ahold of someone (they have no contact/ emergency line after hours), but once I was able to submit a request it was dealt with quickly. Overall I would recommend it as it was a good value for the rent price."
