We went to see a property and sent all the paperwork and of course they claimed they were missing some after not returning calls. Then I sent them again and never heard from them for another month. After we waited time for someone to answer if we could rent the place. After lots a voicemails finally one called and said he was going to rush us in since we been treated like we don't count. We were told there is nothing going to work for us since I'm in a wheelchair sometimes so I won't be able to get upstairs. Now there was a downstairs apt and we asked for that. The guy wrote back and said he told us before there is nothing that could accommodate us. It is a 3 bedroom place and we have 6 people. The rule is 2 people per bedroom. I find this place not worth trying to rent from. read more

This place is a scam and and have worst experience ever with trying to rent one of their properties. Looked at the property before it was listed and assured them that we wanted to rent it. Walked through it and offered twice to give a deposit on June 30 and was told we need to leave a deposit. Got approved and ready to move forward. Our agent with mj Peterson was Matt. Never returned calls or respond to texts. Up until yesterday I tried several times to get an update and never heard back until I called the office and told it was rented. VERY disappointed in the process. Mind you, when we walked through the property and they found out that I was gay and my partner was there, that's when are stated not getting any responses after that. This just amazes me by how unprofessional they are. They pick and choose who they want. I went on ny state equal opportunity housing and pretty much violated every law. I will be taking this further and give updates. read more

Just had a situation with my central air for the last couple of days and not only do I have a new AC unit, I also have a new furnace. Thanks to Ryan Schiller here at MJ Peterson, everything was taken care of quickly and professionally so my family can stay nice and cool. I really like how he checked up on us to make sure everything was OKAY!! The old unit had a leak so he made sure they put friant in it to keep us cool till they replaced the whole cooling and heating system. Thanks Ryan, very much appreciate you.

Will do their absolute best to screw you over on your deposit. Mediocre maintenance service due to poor management

NIGHTMARE. MJ PETERSON REAL ESTATE is a crap real estate agency. They own LIBERTY SQUARE APARTMENTS in Amherst, close to UB north campus so they are constantly getting students sucked into this place. LIBERTY SQUARE APARTMENTS IS A TERRIBLE place to live. It looks nice on the outside, but I should have listened to a tenant's review (he told me the rental management sucked, and I thought how bad can it be, it looks nice. I was wrong and now am stuck in a lease). The walls are thin--you can hear neighbors yammering in your apartment, their TVs, their sex. Yes, their sex. The central air ventilation is all connected so you will smell everyone's food, marijuana stink, and the incense burning to cover up the marijuana stink, in your apartment, in the hall, in all the common areas. There is only one washer/dryer on the premises for the 8 units, and everyone tries to do it at the same time, so good luck getting laundry done. Doors automatically slam shut in the entire building, and tenants are not quiet about it, so you will hear doors slamming in the basement, the 1st floor, and 2nd floor, at 1am, 3am, 5am, 7am, all the way throughout the day, everywhere in your apartment. Lawn maintenance comes in once a week, sometimes only 3 days apart, and use industrial size lawnmowers, multiple leaf blowers and lawn trimmers beginning at 8am and going on for 2-3 hours at a time. The lawn is bright yellow and dead due to over-maintenance, but common sense isn't common. It is a shitshow. An OVER-PRICED shitshow. Rental management is lazy and will ignore your emails and calls for weeks, if they respond at all. They have not responded to a single complaint about noise level, despite quiet and enjoyment being written into a rental lease in the state of New York. I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. read more

The AC units are very old and don't do a great job of cooling down the apartment so expect very hot summers inside of your apartment. Also, be sure to put a security camera in your apartment, maintenance rarely lets you know when they'll be there. I walked into my apartment to find a maintenance person using my kitchen knife to pry open a sink, said it was the first and last time he'll do it but put a camera in so you can cover yourself if they use your items to do a fix. Rent isn't bad but if you have another option use that one. read more

MJ Peterson is the worst! I lived in their apartment for 3 years and used an MJ Peterson realtor for a home purchase. My closing date got changed 3 times and I ended up needing to stay into a new month, 8 days. the property manager called me and told me I owed 499.03 for 8 days. My rent was 910.00 a month and Im being charged 499.03 for 8 days? what kind of math is that? When I moved into the apartment early I was pro rated correctly but I can't get prorated correctly leaving? And it wasn't my fault my closing got pushed back 3x. My MJ Peterson realtor supposedly spoke to someone who had said it was fine to stay. I called the property manager asking for an itemized bill and never got a call back. Then I logged into my old apartment account and see a charge for FULL rent (910.00) and 885.00 for painting, floor repair, and cleaning. I lived in that apartment for 3 Years without anything being replaced. isint 3 years worth of wear and tare expected? shouldn't painting and cleaning be a given when a tenant moves out and a new one moves in? isint an apartment owner required to clean in between tenants? MJ Peterson is a greedy incompetent poor excuse for a rental company. They are sorry. I would never suggest anyone renting an apartment from them or even using one of their realtors. My MJ Peterson realtor sent me a thank you card and couldn't even spell my name correctly. My time at that apartment and my home buying process was a mess. I have since contacted a lawyer about these charges. Beware they are a sorry pitiful money hungry company. Take your business elsewhere. read more
