I loved the apartment from the basement to the balconies it was great. What I didn't appreciate was the experience with Edge. First incident: My roommate and I lived there for 2 years and we didn't have window screens so mosquitos and flies were flying into the apartment by the masses. We sent a request to have them added in the Summer. It never happened. My roommate and I logged into the portal we use with them and saw our request was canceled. We never requested that. Yet somehow months later in the WINTER, maintenance, who came to replace a door for us that had a hole in it, came to check the windows as well for screens... We said that would have to wait for the warm weather again because we had to insulate the windows which was recommended since the apartment had drafts from everywhere and had poor insulation. Yet they never came back. And according to "Section 410.551 - Screens for Windows The owner shall provide screens for all windows designed to be opened on the first four floors opening directly to the outside from any dwelling unit or room unit provided, that in an owner-occupied unit, the owner need provide screens for only those windows used for ventilation." We have been like that for two years... Second incident: I reached out through their portal and called their emergency number when a faulty smoke alarm was triggering all the alarms in my apartment. It was a wired alarm and didn't know what to do. When reaching out to the two emergency options (a phone number to call or a message in the portal to submit), no one replied until the next day. The faulty alarm kept going on for hours into the night and I didn't want to break it and be liable for something that isn't mine. My question is why have an emergency contact number and portal if they don't work? And judging from the other comment on this page it seems someone had a similar issue of no response. Last incident: When we were about to move from that place we had some realtors notifying us via text that they would be taking pictures of the apartment. The thing is they texted my roommate and another number that wasn't mine. I never got that notification and my roommate was traveling at the time. So while using the restroom, two women were walking around the apartment and knocked on my BATHROOM door. I was both shocked and embarrassed. After discussing it they realized the mistake and apologized although I must admit they didn't seem to care about it all that much. I was upset but mistakes happen so I brushed it off. But in the upcoming weeks my roommate texted me two more times on different days telling me that they had texted the wrong number again to show off the apartment. Do they not have the information correct in their system or are they that careless with it? She had to text them back stating they were texting the wrong number. When they finally got it right, I was exchanging messages with one realtor who asked if they could come in at 1130 AM one day. I agreed on the time, yet they walked into the apartment at 1105. I was upset because I was working from home and had important information out. So I brought up the time and she stated that she was correct. But after checking her texts she saw she made the mistake. I am giving it two stars just because the portal feature was great, but I've moved around Boston and this was my least favorite experience on management. Part of me feels it was because the apartment was located in an area filled with college students and brushed it off as just other kids coming and going. But hopefully, this may provide some insight into the areas that need work.

Their team was incredibly responsive and professional which made my renting process seamless and stress-free. It was very easy to pay rent and submit maintenance requests through the online tenant portal they offer. Although the property was in great condition when I moved in, any maintenance requests I had were addressed promptly. The team was always friendly and approachable - no matter the issue or time of day. Their dedication to maintaining the properties they manage is evident and it's clear that they prioritize both the comfort of their tenants and the upkeep of the properties. I would highly recommend South Boston Property Managers. They provide exceptional service and are committed to their tenants' satisfaction. They truly go above and beyond to make renting a positive experience.

As someone who used to manage my property (from long distance), I knew the pain and efforts involved in dealing with tenants...and honestly..after a few years, I wanted nothing to do with managing a rental from far, far away. I remembered calling and leaving a voicemail message with Southpaw about my desire to find a property management company to help me rent out and manage my unit...and..to my surprise, I got a call the same day back..and all within several hours when I totally wasn't expecting it! Within a few days...I worked with Kyle to sign my rental agreement, provide him information and access to my rental unit...and the unit was already rented out...all within 24 hours of signing my agreement to have Kyle manage my property! Wow..I was impressed! What impressed me more was Kyle's ability to manage rental properties. He took great care of tenants and property owners alike. He's fair..and not just siding with either side. He is not hesitant to tell me as an owner what I needed to do to make sure my tenants are happy (and he's happy to do the same to keep me happy dealing withe thing from repair to HOA as well). I am also very happy to see that...with Southpaw...the need to manage my rental property or handhold anything..is pretty much nil! Kyle took care of everything! And..I just saw..that I recently gave a consent to continue renting out my unit/extend rental offers to my current tenants..and he already had them signed extending for another year of rental at my unit ahead of expiration of an existing lease! That's a testament to Kyle and Southpaw's competencies and proactive approach to management! I love it that..for once..I can really sit back and trust that Southpaw can handle my rental on my behalf! For a long while, I worry about having to sell my unit if the property couldn't be rented out..but with Southpaw...I didn't have to worry about sale of my property anymore..because true passive rental income from this property is now a reality for me!
