Peer Property Management

Seems the management is extremely unprofessional. My boyfriend and I were trying to view one of their apartments and Barb told me «8am was honestly just too early» even though she said if we wanted to view it we should see it ASAP and that time is the only time available since my work schedule is so crazy. Oh well. They seem beautiful but after these reviews and dealing with this woman, I am not stupid enough to move forward with someone so unprofessional.

I am a current tenant and completely appalled and fed up with this company, which is sad as it is only because of the property manager, Barb.
I will start by saying our unit is beautiful. The maintenance staff that I’ve heard about/​come across have been extremely friendly and do what they’re told. But again, I love the place we are living… unfortunately, Barb, the manager of all Peer Property Management units, is an absolute disaster.
It all started originally when I went to try and sign my lease, I won’t make accusations, but I am fairly confident she uses some type of ‘recreational’ substance that should not be had during work, which is not my business, but when you are in control of my personal accounts (dealing with my money and SSN), I have issues. After numerous appointments being set up and cancelled, a call was made by her that was near incomprehensible and so sketchy. I finally went into the office for a less than impressive meeting to sign my lease. I know, why did I go forward with the lease with those signs in place? Again, the place is beautiful, I suppose I asked for it.
Fast forward there have been countless errors with our payment system, miscommunications regarding lease terms, accusations on missed payments to the wrong tenant and a number of promises regarding repairs to the apartment that have gone months upon months with no attention. Barb desperately attempts to sound professional when all she is doing is talking herself in circles and assuming we are too stupid to notice. Constantly pointing the finger at someone else or giving some lame excuse to buy herself more time.
The worst part is there is no way to contact anyone at this company beyond Barb. She won’t give out anyone’s number (ensuring nobody can complain and therefore she cannot be let go) and they are virtually unlisted.
Dealing with Barb has created more stress in my life than a rent payment should be, might I add I am always on schedule and don’t miss payments. It’s to the point that I would love to stay, but when the lease is up I will realistically have to consider moving elsewhere simply to not have someone so incompetent in control of/​impacting my lease, financial credit and personal information.

I have been renting from Peer Property at Second and Oxford for a year an a half and have had such an excellent experience. The apartments are beautiful, large, and well-​kept, repairs are completed quickly, and management is responsive to any issues. In fact, I needed to move to a larger apartment and decided to do so within the same property because I loved it so much! In particular, Barbara has been such a pleasure to work with — she works hard to create a welcoming and livable community, and really cares about her residents! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

This place should be reported to the BBB, the police, and all real estate agencies. This property features rental apartments, that are also for sale as condos. It is a hell-​hole.
1) Noise ²⁴⁄₇. You will not get a minute of sleep here. The management does absolutely nothing about it. Barbara, the manager, doesn’t even respond to noise complaints. She only says, call the police, but that is not the tenants job. We pay too much money to live here.
2) At least 2 of my neighbors are drug dealers who deal right in the driveway in front of everyone.
3) Rest of the tenants, are loud, screaming, college kids, who blast music 24 hrs a day, wrestle, yell obscenities all night long.
4) The entire building reeks of pot. Junkies and addicts can be heard begging for a hit at all hours of the night.
5) Most tenants break their lease and move out in 60 days. They are replaced by more junkies and frat boys.
Unsuspecting buyers are purchasing condos here too. Little do they know that they are buying a money pit. This building is unsafe, I would never recommend single women or children to live here surrounded by drunken lunatics. I am afraid to walk out of my apartment at night, not because of the neighborhood, but because of my neighbors.

If you want to your renting experience to be a complete nightmare then rent with Peer property management. They will provide you with an unfinished apartment that you pay in full for your entire stay, Barbara a property manager that is incompetent at anything but will call you more times than a needy child to accomplish nothing, and when you move out they won’t give you your security deposit but won’t supply any reasoning why which is required.
My two roommates and I moved in in August to a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment. One bathroom didn’t get a shower handle for 3 weeks so the shower was unusable. One bathroom the toilet flooded the entire bathroom every time when you flushed which they never fixed our entire year lease so it was actually a 2 bathroom space. And one didn’t get a mirror as promised for a month. Screens were missing for months, handles on kitchen drawers, lightbulbs in the kitchen there just weren’t any put in. Blinds were promised it took until December where they required every unit to have them installed and take down all curtains you had put up since it had been over 4 months most people installed they’re own so you’re not naked in front of the neighbors. The pipes froze in the winter because they put the sink in the wrong place of the apartment so we had to use the bathroom sinks for a week. Hot water got moderately hot at best in all sinks and showers.
Then there is Barbara the property manager who could not really complete any task hence all the issues above. Two things she did that really pissed us off. The first we were never assigned an electric meter to our apartment so we were never getting a bill for it. About 6 months in maybe more she realized and it became my headache to figure out with her as well as all the other tenants. I’m sure we were overcharged but at that point you have more to do in your life than fight about a bill.
The actions that got me to write this review is what she did with the security deposits. We never received any money, any description of damage etc for well over six months. Landlords have to supply the tenants with the description of why they’re keeping the deposits within 6 months or return the money. So my roommate wrote a letter informing her of this. She responds by saying that she sent the checks months ago, although no one had received. So we open a small claims court case because we have dealt with her and knew how she would act. Now she calls us saying you didn’t get them back because there was so much damage. I thought the checks were sent months ago? We are three clean girls who were not there that much there is no way there was anything but maybe some scratches on the floor. Then once we pressed forward with the case she calls and offers us 600 of the deposit which we said no because we knew we deserved most if not all of it. The case settled with her owing us just about all of three person deposit with minor fees for some scratches and cleaning. Might I add comments were made in court about her seeming high which she seems my entire experience dealing with her. So she appealed the verdict which means we have to hire a lawyer which would end up costing more than our deposit is worth.
Very disgusting, think twice before renting with them.
