Marius has been incredibly responsive from day one--always replying quickly, showing pictures without delay, and paying close attention to every detail. During one of the most difficult times in my life, he went above and beyond to help me and find solutions to my housing challenges. He literally saved me from a devastating financial situation, and I can't thank him enough. From the very first time I viewed one of his properties, I could tell he was different from anyone else I had met in property management. He was the only one who personally inspected the place and took the time to walk me through every aspect of the house, giving thoughtful recommendations and useful information. His approach felt truly genuine--he follows through on things, stays involved, and makes sure everything is done properly. It's also clear that he maintains his properties with great care. The house I saw was well-kept, clean, and clearly managed with pride. Beyond just being a landlord, Marius is a kind and considerate person who genuinely listens to his tenants. Living in one of his rentals would be comfortable and stress-free because you know your concerns will be heard and addressed with care. I wholeheartedly recommend Marius--both as a landlord and as a person. read more

Avoid at all costs...I co-signed on a west Chicago apartment for my daughter last April. They were called GMD Systems at the time but also go by IMD2 Systems. Amanda Dancea is the contact, though the lease says the property belongs to Marius Dancea. It all looked good on paper, and Amanda was responsive at the beginning. There was no internet available in the apartment as agreed in the lease, so Amanda provided an extender, which only brought wifi to a single device. Amanda kindly offered a jetpack as a solution, which gave my daughter wifi through the apartment. Two months into the jetpack working fine, Amanda suddenly demanded it back, said my daughter's wifi wasn't an issue and that the problem was actually all of my daughter's devices not working, and refused to give us the access needed to get an AT & T tech into the apartment even when I offered to pay for it. When my daughter wouldn't give the jetpack back without an updated lease guaranteeing that her rent would be reduced the $25 she was paying for Internet, Amanda said she was kicking her out because her boyfriend lives with her (he doesn't). She also initially refused to state her position with the company and continued to refuse to give my daughter or me contact info for Marius Dancea, the property owner as stated on the lease, so we had to track him down and email him directly to ask for help. He never responded to this emails or the multiple emails he was cc'd on in regards to this matter. After much stress and anxiety about being kicked out without cause, my daughter was able to get Lawyer's Committee for Better Housing to help. They wrote Amanda and Marius a letter saying she couldn't be kicked out without due cause, as they were attempting to do. They were able to get Marius on the phone; he said this was the first he'd heard of any of this, despite being emailed directly by my daughter and by me, being cc'd on all emails between my daughter and Amanda, and eventually blocking my daughter's email address from his account. ***If you are a tenant of theirs and having similar problems, I encourage you to contact LCBH. read more

Loved living here . Amanda Dancea let me prove that I am sufficient !! Thanks so much these are the best people ever !!!!

Save yourself the stress...I have not lived there or been renting from them for 6 months, but I waited this long to finally write my review because I was genuinely scared of them retaliating against me in some way. My review is related to the previous one written by my cosigner, and I was the main signee on my lease. My experience with IM2D Systems (they were called GMD Systems when I first started with them) was absolutely terrible. When I initially began the leasing process, Amanda Dancea was my only contact with the company. She was initially helpful and responsive. My lease was supposed to include wifi for a $25 monthly fee. When I moved in, the wifi didn't work. It wouldn't connect to any of my devices and after a month of trying solutions and nothing working, Amanda kindly offered me a jetpack device to use so that I would at least have some wifi in my apartment per our lease agreement. After a few months of that working, Amanda all of a sudden texted me saying she needed the device back. I told her that the device was my only source of wifi as the other wifi still was not working for me. She said that that wasn't her problem and that she needed the device back. I told her that I'd happily give the device back, but that she was contractually obligated to provide me wifi in some other way and until she did that, I was going to keep the device as a temporary solution. What ensued was unprofessional and jarring. The phone conversation escalated so much that I just wanted to be done with the interaction and finally offered to give the device back in exchange for an updated lease that reflected I was no longer responsible for paying for the wifi I didn't have. Amanda then threatened to have me evicted and accused me of my boyfriend living with me, which he did not. I asked to speak to the company owner, Marius, because he was the one named on my lease. Amanda refused to give me his contact information or tell me her title with the company multiple times. She at one point told me I could find his number on the company website, and when I called that number she answered. Manipulative, weirdo behavior. I contacted my mom who was my cosigner, to see if she could help me resolve the issue as things were clearly out of hand and at this point I was in tears because I was about to be evicted for no reason. She exchanged emails with Amanda and offered to personally pay for a technician to come out and try to fix the wifi if Amanda would just help us get into the area the technician would need to access. Amanda refused to do this and throughout all of this was obsessively calling and texting my mom. My mom also tried to contact Marius, the company owner, and cc'd him on every email between her, Amanda, and I. He never responded, and eventually blocked my personal email from his account. I eventually had to go to the Lawyer's Committee for Better Housing for help, and they wrote a letter to Marius and Amanda Dancea on my behalf informing them they couldn't evict me without reason. They were able to speak to Marius on the phone, who claimed he knew nothing about the situation (this was false). He contacted me to say I could stay through the end of my lease, but he never apologized or expressed any responsibility for this disaster of a situation.The way Amanda conducted herself throughout this entire interaction was extremely concerning for someone with so much power over your living situation, and I would recommend avoiding her and this company as much as possible. I never had any issues after this, because I was, like I had always been, a good tenant who paid my rent on time. I emailed the company email account over 30 days before my lease was going to end to let them know that I would not be resigning. I did not get a response for a while, and so reached out again. Again, no response. A few days later Marius called me and asked me to tell my mom to take her yelp review down. I told him no, that the review reflected the situation accurately, and that I was also not the person who wrote it and therefor not the person he needed to speak to. He then threateningly asked if I had notified them 30 days before my lease end date of my intent to move out. I told him yes, I did. And he obviously had no rebuttal because that was true. Overall DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY OR WORK WITH AMANDA DANCEA. ***I should also note that I never received a receipt for my deposit with the bank information that is legally required, as I learned when I finally had to reach out to LCBH. I also never got my deposit back, and I took very good care of the apartment. My apartment also had terrible COCKROACHES and I know other apartments in the building had MICE because a maintenance worker accidentally left mouse traps at my door when another tenant had requested them. And, the place was filthy when I moved in. All of this was overshadowed by the horror that was dealing with Amanda and figuring out my wifi. read more
