Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant reviews of buildings managed by Jacob Kemplar suggest that the properties offer competitive rent prices and decent locations. However, management is criticized for cutting corners, leading to issues like stolen packages and persistent maintenance problems. The responsiveness of the owner varies, with some tenants feeling neglected. While positive aspects include spacious living areas and amenities like gyms, improvements are needed in security measures, maintenance efficiency, and resolving issues promptly. Overall, the buildings are considered overpriced for the service provided, highlighting the need for better value and attentive management practices.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Pretty good, but management cuts corners

Pros

- Competitive rent prices - Decent location - Great super

Cons

- Management does not like to spend money. They are always looking for cheap fixes. - Packages get stolen - I've reported two gas leaks; their cheap fix didn't work for long. This seems to be an issue others have had. You need to be on top of checking for this kind of stuff

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago
