I rented from Black Dog Properties for less than 6 months due to unforeseen circumstances with two…read morepeople on the lease. In that amount of time, there were a few things that came up I wasn't quite satisfied with and think people considering this company should consider before signing a lease. I am using this as a review to make people considering Black Dog knowing what issues a previous tenant has had before signing a lease. Upon moving in (2/4 people on the lease had already lived there for a year) we had issues with a room not being hooked up to the heating and air conditioning ducts in the ceiling that they finally fixed, it is my understanding there was a maintenance request placed prior to me being on the lease. We also had an ice maker that didn't work and would flood the kitchen if turned on. It is to my understanding that there was a maintenance call prior to my name being on the lease but they didn't replace is and said not to use it. So we had to deal with the issue of not having an ice maker and the kitchen flooding if someone accidentally turned the ice maker on. After moving out and our lease ending at the end of the year, we had issues with Kansas Gas, Black Dog and their new tenants. Black Dog apparently does not check if new tenants turn on the necessary utilities for the properties they have, as we kept getting charged for gas service after our lease was up due to Black Dog not reverting to owner and the new tenants not signing up for gas service, but Kansas Gas could not shut it off since it is in their cold weather season. We finally got this situation figured out but it shouldn't have been an issue to begin with. So once again, PLEASE think and consider these issues before renting from Black Dog Properties.

Renting from them isn't awful--they do fix major issues--but the bigger picture is getting worse…read more They keep raising rents, and new tenants end up paying way more than current residents, even though the buildings haven't meaningfully improved. I've lived here 3 years and they've done the bare minimum. Most rent increases don't go back into maintenance--owners seem to be squeezing the properties while cheaping out on repairs and replacements. A big red flag: they recently ended my friend's month-to-month lease by text/email and then stopped responding to his calls. If you bring up HVAC or building-quality issues, expect the tone to change fast: cold indifference, deflection, and "gaslighting." I'm nearly certain the buildings waste energy--electric costs can be much higher than they should be. There's also constant turnover (some complexes feel like 90% year-to-year) and the walls are paper-thin--you'll hear everything. The only way I survived was by staying friendly with neighbors and getting everyone on the same page. You will intimately know what's going on around you. Exterior/common-area neglect is ongoing: Falling rocks/exterior deterioration Dirty stairs/hallways, rarely cleaned or powerwashed Bird nests and months of bird poop in common areas Hallway lights going out and taking months to replace "Nice" appliances that are on their last legs, replaced with cheaper, worse units Even logistics are frustrating--meetings that should be a phone call, slow responses, and poor pre-move-in inspection (my friend needed carpet replaced a week after moving in, which should've been obvious). Bottom line: it can work if you're trying to keep costs down and don't plan to stay long, but rent is rising while maintenance and quality are sliding. I'm leaving next fall because of it.

We rented from Connie for almost three years. The house needed some obvious repairs. There was mold…read morein the garage, and the fireplace was literally crumbling. It was next to impossible to get ahold of Connie. She will not return your call for basic repairs. I had to get a third party involved when she refused to contact me about repairing the washer machine (which she refused to fix). Our washer machine broke the month before we were supposed to move out, and she flat out told me she was refusing to fix it because we were moving. And under law our only other option would be to vacate the property in 30 days, which we were already doing. When we moved into the home, it was filthy, the previous tenants trash was in the yard for almost a week, and the carpets were absolutely filthy. We never missed a payment, had maybe less than 10 repairs/calls in the almost 3 years we lived there, and we did not feel as if we were treated fairly. She tried to force us out of the property a day early because she had people moving in the same day our lease ended. I would not rent from them, Connie is not friendly, and will not work with you to get timely repairs done. She cares more about saving money than taking care of her tenants.

Thank you for your reply. To clarify for others reading:…read moreYes, I gave the required 90-day notice, and we agreed on a formal termination date of May 1, 2025. My concern is not about the timeline--it's about being charged a management fee in May despite no management services being performed. What's most disappointing is the complete lack of communication and empathy. I sent multiple emails and a formal letter--none of which were acknowledged. This reply only came after I posted reviews publicly. That response, paired with your refusal to even consider refunding a small final fee of just a few hundred dollars, is incredibly telling. After more than five years working together, a thoughtful business would have valued the relationship and simply honored a reasonable request. Instead, this rigid approach--defending a weak contractual position over a minor amount--demonstrates a short-sighted business strategy that undervalues long-term partnerships and human decency. For future clients, I still recommend reading the agreement carefully, especially around fees tied to maintenance and contract wind-down. Fee-stacking and defensiveness like this are not the hallmarks of a company I could recommend again.

I set up an appointment to see the property and eventually decided id take the place. I finally go pick up the keys at their office and I show up to my new apartment and I open the door. The first thing I notice was that there was a foul stench. I start looking around and what do you know? I find a DEAD CAT inside the apartment! The guy had told me that they had cleaned up the place and had it all professionally prepped up for me to move in. I call Alliance about it and they thought I was making this up. I sent them pictures and Ill post them here so you can see them. This isnt even the worst of it. The place had a bad case of mold or something because I developed trouble breathing when I lived here. Not to mention that power went out frequently in the summer, they also kept the majority of my deposit when I moved out under pretenses that there was damage to the place that occurred under my tenure. Which I took pictures and submitted on their app before I moved in. I told them this was already pre-existing damage in which they denied and refused to give me back my deposit. Do not rent from Alliance MHK.
