If you are looking for a ""Slum Lord,"" then LIT is your top pick. The day I received the keys to my new apartment, it was filthy, had the water, gas, and electricity shut off (even though the lease states I would have days to switch the utilities into my name). The drains were clogged, the refrigerator smelled like rotten food (this was later replaced with a leaky, rusty, used fridge), the washer/dryer combo was broken (this was removed after 8 months of trying to have them repair it and finally telling them I refuse to store their broken appliances), and the list goes on and on. I was also told the day I signed my lease I would have to pay a $50/month water fee. The only reason I agreed to this was that I thought I would have a working washer/dryer unit. Every time I made a maintenance request, I had to spend weeks on the phone and deal with multiple visits from the maintenance crew before the issues were dealt with (not necessarily repaired). When I discovered my AC was broken, I had to suffer through weeks of my apartment being 80+ degrees inside. The maintenance man kept insisting it was not broken because the unit turned on. He even brought a tool which took the temp of the room, 83 degrees that day, and still insisted it was only that hot inside because I had opened my door 4 times that day going to and from work. Absolutely crazy! The bugs were out of control because they are too cheap to have regular pest control. Their apartments are poorly maintained, and I would not recommend anyone to use this management company.
