Campus Rentals

I rented from campus rentals twice, the first time we didn’t know any better and the second time we were left with no choice. They own the prominent spots on hill campus but they have terrible service and are not at all sympathetic towards the students. They overcharge for any sort of repairs and shortchange you on your security deposit. The living conditions of the places are horrendous and even falsely advertised the house my friends and I rented claiming that the basement could be used as an extra bedroom (when in fact it was a safety violation for anyone to live down there). They are absolutely terrible. I had better service with Prime housing and better service with private owners.

Oh campus rentals. how i dispise thee!
They do own some of the top properties on campus… but every place then rent out is grimy and so over-​priced. They claim to have free heat and internet, but it’s def. not usable. The heat is either super hot or super cold in the winters and the free internet and cable doesn’t even work!
Their head foreman is a paranoid schizo and is always complaining and yelling at people.
They need to re-​invest the money they’re stealing from college kids into their properties.

I lived in a studio apartment in a pretty old house, and did not have any major problems. Campus Rentals’ manager and staff were always very kind to me, and even allowed me to pay rent «whenever» for a four or five month period. HOWEVER:
Rent was outrageous for the condition of the place, even given a premium on location. Parking was DOUBLE outrageous; if I had known what the price was before moronically saying I wanted a parking space, I certainly would have bought one elsewhere. Receiving packages and mail at my particular location was problematic in general. Plus, they made me have my mom guarantee the lease, a teeny bit condescending for a 25-​year-​old and a reminder to me that I was renting in undergradland.
