I have lived in 2 of their properties in the past 2 and half years. It has been a pleasant experience throughout this time. As i understand it they manage many properties and that is a lot of work for a small staff and yet they have always been prompt about addressing my needs. Living in a growing downtown has its annoying challenges like construction and rents that are constantly on the rise. I move often and keep up with the going rates on apartments and they have always come under the fair market value and could charge way more than they do for what you get and I am glad to see they are making efforts to improve these properties by remodeling them. Unfortunately, this will cause rents to rise in those properties but that is life.
I have worked directly with Mr. Cochrane on my lease and he and his staff are very easy to work with as a landlord go. I grew up around rental properties and many of these complaints are pretty common. If you feel that you need perfection stop renting and go buy yourself a place. Let's be honest, we only rent because either we are not into long term commitments or can't afford to buy our own place. With this said we must make allowance for a rental. After all it's a rental.
