Ahhhh.. the Chatham, IL slum lords. What can I say. Here are great reasons to avoid them when renting in Chatham, IL:
1. They are unprofessional. Their office is like an only mop closet with broken down desks piled in papers, construction tools everywhere, and computers that barely work.
2. They are shady. Really nice people to talk to but you will soon find out that the employees are in and out of jail constantly, the mother is nice, the son is nice but so overworked trying to manage all his jailbird goons, and Veronica (the office clerk) is frustrated to the point of quitting at all times because of the pit she has to work in and the incredible size of her workload. The father that also owns Sams Best Brands Furniture in Springfield is a liar who states that he will work with you then goes and burns you after the fact. He has been the biggest douchebag of all.
3. Rental responsibilities are not met by this fly by night company. Their renters complain of repairs never happening (toilets broken, drain spouts falling off after wind storms, dryer vents clogged, etc, etc, etc). When the renters finally give up on their lack of maintenance, they fix the problems themselves and submit receipts to the management office to never be heard from or about again.
4. Promises, promises, promises...... no action. We will NEVER raise the rent on you and we will come in and finish your basement to help you out. .....6 months later. We are going to just not finish what we started (yeah, they started the project and left the basement under construction) until you agree to pay more for rent since you will have another bedroom if we finish the basement. Dirty.
I was originally optimistic thinking, hey, these are nice people. Maybe we have just had some misunderstandings with them. Yeah, until I talk to other renters and find out that this company just plain sucks.
People, Conner / Mariconi Properties are shady and not trust worthy. Not to mention the stuff that was STOLEN from me when they helped us move. (One of the downfalls of hiring criminals to do your maintenance and help.) Avoid them, do not trust them. They suck. They are horrid. read more
