Red Flags and Disappointments
The majority of reviews express disappointment and frustration with Uptown Properties. Several reviewers mention being charged exorbitant fees, including a $100 late fee for being only $10 short on rent. One reviewer even experienced a strong urine smell in their closet, which was initially addressed with an ozone generator, but this solution was deemed ineffective and irresponsible.
Several reviewers also complain about poor communication and unresponsive management. One reviewer cites multiple emails, phone calls, and work orders being made, but issues persist, including electrical problems, a leaky garage roof, and a non-functional dryer.
Fake Reviews and Unreliable Service
Some reviewers accuse the company of posting fake reviews, claiming that most 5-star reviews are from employees or friends. Another reviewer expresses frustration with the company's unreliable service, citing a faulty electrical panel and a gas dryer that was replaced with an electrical dryer without proper electricity to run it.
Some Positive Experiences
Despite the overwhelming negative reviews, a few reviewers had positive experiences with Uptown Properties. One reviewer, Shiela Yang, praises a leasing assistant named AL for being professional and helpful. Another reviewer, Nathan Frear, had a great experience working with a leasing agent named Anthony, and Cecilia Marie Hudon also had a positive experience with Anthony Gardella.
