I was charged over $2200 for damages when I moved out. This included $446 to "clean entire unit"…read moreand $1,497.99 to "repaint entire unit". I've attached photos of the unit the day I moved out. This is the unit that needed a $446 clean, and needed a full repaint costing $1,497.99 according to SVN. One of the bedrooms wasn't even used for anything other than storing boxes, so I don't see how it's possible I did enough damage to the walls to require a full repaint. I have attempted to contact SVN several times to discuss these charges and have not received a response. This also happened several times during my lease when I had questions about charges on my account. Beyond the charges, my entire move-out process was very unpleasant. I was repeatedly asked well before the time frame required by my lease for notice whether I would be moving out. Once SVN started showing my apartment, there was a time that I received a text that asked "are you home right now?" and my door was being unlocked less than two minutes later without even knocking. I was repeatedly asked if I would be vacating the apartment early, and SVN had their maintenance crews using my front porch to store materials for a railing they wanted to build when I left before my lease ended. I have rented entirely with property management companies for the last six years. I have never had even close to half of my deposit withheld for routine paint touch up etc. I have also never had a harder time getting in contact with a property management company, both before I moved out and after. There are plenty of other property management companies in Pittsburgh, I recommend avoiding SVN.

Regarding Birgo's properties In Western New York, I've found the absence of competent property…read moremanagement, and the un-ending disruptions and lack of continuity resulting from the high turn-over of property managers (five (5) in my building in the last two (2) years) is about the worst one can imagine. Add to that the virtually non-existent property maintenance - as well as maintenance staff, is simply appalling to put it mildly. In addition to monthly rent, Tenants are forced into paying a "Monthly Utility Fees" - which increased by 500% from 2024 to 2025, for services that clearly are the landlords' responsibility based on the lease agreement that Birgo drafted and forced on Tenants. ("Take it or leave it") Simply put, the open-ended, uncontrolled Utility Fee arrangement, cloaked in fine print of the lease, gives Birgo the option to increase rental revenue whenever it wants during the lease term, without agreement with tenant and w/o genuine accountability. Tenants deserve better than this. From back in the day ... "There Outta be a Law". Perhaps a Class Action Lawsuit as well as rent control for public and private multi-family properties in Upstate NY - similar to the requirements on Landlords in Downstate NY - NYC.
