I rented off campus and I really enjoyed my apartment actually. The windows and doors needed to be replaced but other than that I didn't have too many issues. I do have to say though, I never met my landlord, I never bothered calling them, I just went to the office and talked to the maintenance people directly and politely and they were usually out there the next day and did whatever I asked. But like I said, I wasn't on campus, I was on the outer edge of Champaign and never talked to my landlord, so maybe that's why I had a better experience.
