Customer ReviewsforKatz Properties

If I could give a negative star I would! We moved into ******* ***** Apartments in 2022 before it was owned by Katz. After Katz took over the entire property went downhill. We went through 3 property mangers in less than a year. They got rid of lawn care and snow removal. Ground maintenance is non existent. We had to pull our own weeds and shovel snow. When people move out they leave old furniture around the dumpsters and maintenance is too lazy to put the furniture in the dumpsters to be disposed of. Our lease is up in September and Katz is not renewing our lease because they dont want to have residents who will hold them responsible for anything despite having good payment history, no complaints from other neighbors. Apparently Tracy ************** at the corporate office takes things personally. If you dont mind dealing with iced over windows and black mold, lazy maintenance who doesnt even show up when they’re scheduled to and then have the nerve to tell you that they’ll get to you when they get to you, property managers who dont have enough decency to pick up the phone or respond to emails and dont bother even going to the office onsite because they cant even manage to show up on time to be there to open the office to begin with, increased rent every renewal with the promise of renovations but no renovations actually being done. As soon as Katz took over the cost of laundry was raised, rent was raised, and we were now responsible for water. Not renewing our lease is actually doing us a HUGE favor because we’re tired of giving our hard earned money to these ******** anyway. As much as they’re ready for our lease to end we’re also ready to get rid of them too! STAY AWAY FROM KATZ PROPERTY!

I only put a 1 star because in order to write a review I had no choice. I think Katz Properties deserves 0 stars. I lived at ************************* in ********** for 14 years before this slum owner took over. Our lawns were always maintained by a landscaped company, in the winter we had a great snow removal company plow the parking lot, if something needed fixed it was done within 48 hours. With the previous owner when I was there 7 years he gave me $25 off my rent 10 years $100 off my rent for being a long standing tenant. Katz took over the first time I came up for renewal he raised my rent $100 I went from $750 to $850 second time he raised it $145 $850 to $995 if I would have renewed again it was going to be raised $125 plus we had to start paying for water the second year. I never paid for water. How they calculated the bill was a joke! NEVER RENT FROM

I live in the ******* **** location. When I moved in 2 and a half years ago this place was paradise, fast forward and 3 or four different property managers later, this place *****! Hall doors that are supposed to be closed and locked aren't. Hallways are filthy and full of spider webs. There is mold in one of the stairwells and now packages are being stolen. We received an emailed threat that "cameras may be installed" good, we should have had cameras in the lobby all along. And I was just followed to my door no more than 5 minutes before writing this review by some guy. Probably because I'm black, but hard to know nowadays. Long story short, between the terrible customer service, terrible property management and the fact that service requests go unanswered; this place is a **** slum now.

Katz bought my apartment complex last year and immediately priced out MANY elderly residents who have lived here for decades. Rent calculations make no sense whatsoever. The owner, ***************, wanted to charge me extra rent for something that would've SAVED him money. I've loved this apartment complex for the 6 years I've lived here, but the second he purchased it, it's all been going downhill. I will never again sign a lease for a complex owned by this company.

Terrible company with terrible practices. As soon as the bought the property I lived on nothing got fixed, and crime went way up. Then they refused to renew my lease for no reason.

Bought our building for millions & raised rent while never being around. Dont clean. Left trash stacked in hall closets & are all around slumlords.
