Warning: Avoid Weiner Property Management for Rentals I…read morestrongly advise against using Weiner Property Management for rental properties. They are listing a house that is not available, yet they encourage applicants to pay a non-refundable application fee. After collecting the fee, they inform applicants the property is unavailable and offer to place them in a different location. This practice is unethical and misleading This company has admitted to doing this with multiple applicants, which explains their poor reputation in the area. Proceed with caution.

I spent 2 years at the 709 W Green St apartment. Toward the end of our stay, John Gillespie…read moreinformed us that they would be adding a 2nd bathroom to our apartment. This is a major project, which very much affected our use of the apartment, and they scheduled it during the last 3 months of our lease, so there was no way we would benefit from it. When I explained this to John Gillespie, pointing out that I needed to use that space to assemble parts for my online business, he threatened to evict me for running a business out of the apartment (the 'business' was basically an ebay store, and in no way violated our lease terms). The other units in the building all had the same type of issue with Gillespie wanting to do major renovation work at the tail end of their lease. It was a gigantic problem for everyone living there. We had to go to the tenant's union multiple times, and get student legal involved. Eventually, Gillespie agreed not to perform the renovation work. Very near the end of our lease, I approached John Gillespie and proposed a trade: they could start their renovation work, if I could extend my lease by 3 days. He agreed, and they began work. After moving out, and waiting, we received our security deposit. John Gillespie subtracted as much as he possibly could, including several days of "holdover" amounting to hundreds of dollars, because I stayed in the apartment a few days after the lease ended (which is exactly what we agreed on). Basically, he committed fraud, and went back on his word. It took student legal 3 years go finally get our deposit money back from John Gillespie. I would never trust these snakes again. I really liked the maintenance guy, Jerry. But the manager, Bill, was such a sketchy guy, and the owner himself, John Gillespie, outright defrauded us.

When we moved into the apartment, the dryer was broken, (which they didn't fix for 2 weeks), our sink was leaking, and there was food all over the floor. They are incredibly disorganized and unresponsive to your maintenance requests. They constantly come up with lame excuses for why something is broken or why they didn't fix it sooner. We've had a mold problem since we moved in, and they still haven't done anything about it even though we called about it 3 months ago. The tipping point for me was when water stopped coming into our apartment, and it wasn't fixed for multiple days. You shouldn't be paying this much for rent in Champaign, IL when the apartments are run by textbook slumlords.

Michael and Elizabeth are absolutely excellent landlords, both run the property together and to speak to the quality of their apartments, they are the ones that have seen to the restoration of these older homes and actually live in one of them.

I used to work for a larger student housing company on campus, and the level of care, respect, and attentiveness given to tenants at Electrum is night and day compared to the other options on/around campus. The very few issues I did encounter over the two years I lived in my unit were always instantly addressed. I typically heard back from any emails I'd send in a matter of hours, and would come home from work the next day to find the problem completely resolved. They were very careful and accommodating to me as a pet owner as well, making sure my cat did not escape outside whenever work was done. You receive very clear and concise policies in the lease, and the move-out guide was equally as easy to follow. Unlike larger companies, I was not nickel and dimed on the security deposit and actually received all of it back. I highly recommend leasing with Electrum Group! Fairly priced rent, easy renewal process, good maintenance, and excellent communication.

It's great for students at University of Illinois (all of my classes were a 10 minute bus ride away). You can also experience downtown Champaign which is about a 5 minute walk away.

I currently live with my partner who is a UIUC student and I am a young professional, and JSM certainly caters to both of us! I never thought I would be working full time from home when I signed this lease but believe me I am VERY glad I signed with JSM when that became our reality. I love the gym and VIP card. The maintenance is also always efficient and I've never had any issues! I also have an emotional support animal which JSM was very easy and nice to work with in regards to accommodating this need.

Kennedy Wilson should look into the property management company "AMC LLC". AMC is the management…read morecompany for "Alpine Meadows Apartments" in Sandy, Utah. Where I have resided and consider my home since 10/2/2012. Me and other "Long term tenants" have experienced 3 other manager's. AMC LLC manager Jennifer Arnold and her supervisor are, conniving, lying thief's. They have basically "stolen" from me over $3000.00. I have documentation, emails to support what all they have done. I have ledger's , you can tell have been changed. For example: As I stated, I have considered Alpine Meadows my home. I moved in to my unit in 2012. January 2020, I decided I would like to transfer to a different unit for a change of scenery. In 2018 renovations started to upgrade units. All tenants were aware, our units would be renovated once vacated. I checked with Jennifer Arnold, manager to let her know I would like to transfer, thinking it would be a couple of months for a unit to become available. She showed me a newly renovated unit and told I could transfer mid-month. I had paid January's rent in full. I would receive a refund amount within 30 days. Paid $783.00 for new unit. I had to request for my refund for previous unit and SHOCKED to see the $340.00 refund (which is not the correct amount. I was shorted) as well as my $201.20 of my $300.00 security deposit (leaving $98.80 to be refunded. to this day I have not received the refund) was charged for "Damages and Cleaning". I was charge $50.00 for carpet cleaning, when carpet was not in any of the renovated units. When I asked about it, I was sent a new ledger showing the $50.00 was for cleaning supplies, charged $80.00 to clean, so laughable. I commented to Jennifer and Lindsay after meeting with them about the charges and how they came up with the $783.00 for new unit, $340.00 refund for previous, charges for damages. Did they skip together to my previous unit to see how pretty and clean it was , before it was gutted for renovation? Both did not like in the least that I read through the lease and challenged charges, over paid for new unit, refund for previous. They put a "3 day notice to vacate" to remind me, who had all the control. Then they realized it is against the law and actions would be given that I was offered to renew and my rent would not be raised. So, so much more. I really need someone within the Kennedy Wilson organization to go over everything, review all documents and emails I have proving the amounts owed to me, the deceit, unprofessionalism and mismanagement AMC LLC allows to happen. Everyone here, including long term tenants have had enough and moving out. I guess I have to rate Kennedy Wilson property's to post. I have never had any business, personal business with the to rate. But, I'm hoping to in the earliest future. My rating is for "AMC LLC PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, rated "F" by the BBB

Despite that, they still treated tenants like student renters. Employees here are hit or miss. Some were efficient and friendly and some just clueless (one asked me if the fireplace came with the apartment when she was giving a tour to potential tenants). Many were slow to put in work orders or could not answer basic questions. The company treated our building like trash (sometimes literally dumping 10-20 mattresses/sofas in the parking lot for weeks at a time). It was a beautiful old school house turned into apartments 25 years ago. Clearly no work had been done to maintain or update the place. Wood floors could've been beautiful but hadn't been redone in decades. At the rent that they asked, one would've expected them to be redone. Truly a shame how poorly they treated the property, especially at the price point. Maintenance was a saving grace and deserves 4-5 stars. One of the maintenance guys thought the fridge that was in our very large, two bedroom apartment was comically small (it was). He took it upon himself to replace it with an appropriately-sized fridge. When I first moved here I rented from a non-campus company and now rent from individual landlords. That's the only way to go in this town if you can help it. Full disclosure we did get 100% of our deposit back.
