“Awful. Nothing works and the landlord only cares about the apartment complexes they own. They do not care about the people who rent their houses.”

Review of Robert Hodge by Xyz
“Took 6 months to fix a heater, would not believe me about mice even though I had pics, would not believe me about mold and mildew in every room even though I have pics, would not believe me about the very excessive condensation running down the walls until the fire department had to come and shut my breaker box 📴 due to wall plug outlets throughout the house arcing and throwing sparks, even the electrician said it was due to moisture, and still don't have full access to electric in this house."
Review of Gary Mielcarek by taylorwa99
"My landlord owns several properties on campus, and the one I rent is next door to another one of his properties (so I've seen the condition of both). Both houses are quite old, built in the 20s, and while that's not necessarily an issue in itself, they have been maintained VERY poorly by the landlord. In many parts of the house, the flooring is mismatched and uneven, and in some cases the walls are literally crumbling apart. A couple months after we moved in we noticed that the kitchen ceiling would leak after the upstairs shower was used, as well as a large (and slowly expanding) crack in the ceiling where this was happening. Landlord was notified immediately, but it took over 4 months to resolve this issue. As with any maintenance issues (there were many others), Gary would always use a band-aid, half-assed solution at first. He eventually sent a 'plumber' over (who we found out wasn't even a licensed plumber and just did it as a side gig while he worked at the Apple store, yup) who temporarily fixed the leak but after about a week we had problems yet again. The house is very poorly insulated, with doors and most windows having visible gaps in them, as well as some visible gaps in the flooring (where you can see to the outside). Needless to say this was a major hassle during the winter time, and it made our heating costs skyrocket. Gary refused to take responsibility for this or pay for any of the heat bill since it was "our job" to better insulate the house (??). There is also a ridiculous amount of space, especially in the crawlspace under the house and in the attic, for pests to live unhindered. We've seen mice, opossums, and even a bat once. Gary also eschews the responsibility of dealing with these other than haphazardly placing a few mouse traps every once in a while, even though our lease specifically states that pest issues are his responsibility. Last but certainly not least, he has several times entered the house unannounced, without waiting for someone to answer the door. On one of those occasions as well, he proceeded to enter the bathroom without knocking, which is a major no-no. He has been rude to me several times over text after I've made maintenance inquiries, and is overall just an extremely skeezy guy. The ONLY reason this house (and likely many of his other properties) hasn't had to be remodeled completely is because Gary has a constant supply of desperate college kids looking for housing on campus. He is a master at taking advantage of this demographic, who have little time or the capacity to deal with the severity of issues this house has."
Review of Merrick Place Apartments by DisgruntledRenter
"They’re terrible, lazy, and self entitled. Refuse to help any tenant. Management openly discriminates against black lives, let their employees fly massive trump flags on their trucks, and allows pedophiles and felons to move in."
Review of Micah Poston by wildcats2020
“Micah is nice but it astounds me that he runs this business. My biggest complaint was the horrible communication and the attitude from the maintenance team. It infuriates me that I couldn't get a simple response for my maintenance request verifying he saw my message and to give me an ETA of when they would arrive. Because of this, I did encounter landlords entering my apartment with NO NOTICE and only becoming aware of that because of my neighbors informing me. I watched them enter my neighbors apartments when they weren't home and no notice was given to them either. My biggest warning to anyone considering Burton properties is to HIGHLY inspect the unit you are viewing for any potential problems in the works (my building dealt with the ceiling falling in). There is no exaggeration when people warn how hard it is to get ahold of Micah. The rent's cheap, he leaves us alone, but if you encounter a maintenance issue - frustration will grow. I really wish they would hire someone on to take calls and inquires.”
Review of Bob Waller by sagg1991
“Bob Waller is the worst landlord I have ever had to date. He sent out evictions to four people in my neighborhood and the day before the court date he had his maintenance man go around and tell the tenants that the court date was pushed back a week. This was a lie in hopes that they wouldn’t show up for the original court date. The entire two years that I’ve been here he has never lifted a finger to find anything, and threatened me with eviction when I tried to politely and professionally push the issue. This is only the surface of the problems I have had with this slumlord. If you ever take any advice in life, please, please, do not rent from Bob Waller.”
Review of Matt Jones by Catlover99
“Personally, I like that Matt Jones is mostly hands off. If you pay your rent on time and make him aware of any pets you have, he pretty much doesn’t bother you. He always has his assistant send out a building-wide text message before we have maintenance workers enter our space, and the maintenance workers he employs are competent and finish tasks quickly. The building is pretty old and it didn’t look very clean when we moved in, but that’s pretty much the only issue we’ve had.”
Review of Adnan Shalash by Cademcdonald
"Terrible. Mold, roaches, verbal abuse."
Review of Liberty Heights Apartments by Beyond awful
"Went up on rent yearly and extremely like $100 a pop after 7yrs without raise. Roaches came in the last 2yrs when another tenant vacated and remained in the entire building not just my unit. Management company was awful after all trade left. Didn't fix anything all plumbing was connected and when upstairs neighbor had a sink issue it closed mine as well and couldn't fix. Twice they cut off my electric even though it was included in lease. Was reimbursed once but the first time nothing at all. (Days each time) had 2 separate deposits there because of a previous apartment gas leak id moved and was told id have to wait 30 days between and when i finally moved still nothing for either unit. On the plus side now no roaches and no headache. Having bad management did me a favor."
Review of Saddlebrook Apartments by Saddlebrook resident
"The Saddlebrook apartments are terrible. Had pests everywhere when we moved in. Have had a leak since moving in which is still leaking. Found mildew in all of the air vents which we thought was black mold (I still think it’s black mold). The average heating bill for the winter is $500 and they say it’s because the winter was cold even though most tenants are forced to keep it at 65. The units also use 60% more power than most houses."
