I lived in two units over the course of 3 years from this company. Reason for a 4 star rating - 1) Upon move in both units were completely clean and move-in ready. 2) Love their application for lease and maintenance requests! It's easy and maintenance guys appear the following day if not on the same day. My issues (4 during the entire 3 years) always happened at night so I say "following day". The most recent maintenance guys are very good. My husband works in commercial construction so we are always sensitive to maintenance. 3) Every time we had to renegotiate our lease the Lease Manager, Vi was very understanding and worked with us on timing of move out. 4) The gate never works but due to the hurricane season, it makes sense. With that said, it fails yearly so it should be replaced completely for the price tag on these units. HOWEVER the parking lot is significantly recessed so it's difficult for the general public to even know it exists. All in all not many complaints here. read more

Oh dear! I dislike giving poor reviews but this rental company is unethical. My daughter and her friends cleaned up well but the company decided to charge exorbitant rates for small damage - much of which was not there at all. See the image. The apartment was actually really nice but the whole process was a mess. Very disorganized. read more

MKC Properties - They charged ridiculous amounts for damage that was minuscule or non-existent. - Property Management Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

If I could give this establishment zero stars, I would in a heartbeat. These people are actively trying to screw you over at every turn. Beware that they operate under different LLC names as well (Faubourg on Freret, etc) I paid $1150 a month for a "luxury" apartment that was far from luxury. I rented an apartment on Freret with a lease starting on June 1st. My apartment was not ready, it had not been cleaned, their workers defecated in my toilet and left it to me to clean, and they didn't have running water, internet or other utilities available or installed (even though I had to pay for it) upon move in. I paid for waste, and the communal garbage was often neglected, overflowed, and rotten. Maintenance would regularly enter my apartment without notice. They entered multiple times when I was at my most vulnerable - either sleeping or in the shower. Management did nothing when I confronted them about feeling unsafe. There were weeks where the fire alarms would go off multiple times per night in the early morning, causing us all to evacuate and wait for the fire department - only to have it go off again 30 minutes later. Management would tape vague water bills on our doors that had a due date of the same day. They would not report usage or breakdown by unit unless you followed up and requested it. Even then, it wasn't clear and they demanded it be paid quickly. On the date of my move out (because I could not stay any longer), I had a scheduled final walk-through with management to ensure I got my deposit back in full. This was scheduled for 10am. I had left a few items behind (a microwave, some cleaning supplies, etc.) to take to my car before the walk-through and had a few things small things I wanted to clean beforehand. I arrived to my apartment at 9am to find a maintenance person creating a punch list of what I would owe and discovered that they had thrown my microwave and other items in the garbage. I confronted management and they fetched my items from the garbage and agreed to give me my deposit back. I received my deposit after more than 30 days past move out and I had to follow up with them time and time again to receive it. I was an incredibly squeaky wheel and I showed up at their office multiple times to voice complaints and try to get them to enact change. Some employees seemed to really try to work with me and help, but Arnold Kirshman and other leaders would ignore calls and hide in their offices. Do yourself a favor and avoid these people at all costs. Save yourself the headache and the money. read more

Critical: Professionalism, Quality Multiple issues here. First they advertised my apartment as a two bedroom it's one bedroom. The other room has no window and therefore is not a bedroom. Should never have been listed as such. The maintenance is a joke. We have monthly a/c filter replacements and pest spray. I've gotten two air filter changes and zero pest sprays since I've lived here. The lock on my apt door never worked. When I moved in I put a maintenance request in only to be told they were aware of the faulty lock but that they were waiting for someone to complain. The complex came with a locked courtyard. The lock has been faulty since I moved in. Multiple requests for maintenance. One gave us a faulty lock that management told us was exactly how door knobs works- I ask you- do you have to physically push in and turn the locking piece to shut your doors? No. Next replacement had a keypad to get OUT and one on the other side to get in. So in case of fire- don't panic and forget the code- you'll burn. Next replacement had a knob and the same key pad. It broke and jammed within a month and a half. It locked my neighbor out and he had to knock on neighbors doors to get in. Then someone takes the lock off - it's been a week with nothing now. No repairs. No knob. Also- the oven has never gotten to temp - when I submitted a work order the guy came out and asked my neighbor how I could prove it didn't work because the maintenance man didn't bring a thermometer. He knew he was coming to check on a stove issue and he didn't bring a thermometer. The oven maintenance request was closed and never fixed. That was almost 10 months ago. And finally, I asked that they look into sealing my vents and insulation as the smells from neighboring apts leak into my apt and I am allergic ansd cannot sleep or breathe. I wake up constantly coughing and have itchy eyes. The result of this complaint was to tell my neighbors that they couldn't tell them WHO but that the person in the aprartment (enter description of my apartment in location to theirs) is going to call the cops on them. So now I'm a hated occupant. Never did I say anything about police. I said- FIX THE GATE AND FIX THE VENTS AND INSULATION. They took it upon themselves to cause strife and pass blame on a run down, rat infested, overpriced rental. I would never expect such unprofessional and absolute immature behavior from a company of this size. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. irresponsible. read more

Lived under a lease with MKC Properties for a total of 3 years. Unless you sign a multi-year lease, they will raise your rent every year. Started off at out place at $1200/month, but was going to be at $1450 if we signed for a fourth year. Current management was great, but MKC owner is notorious for having absurd turnaround, so be very, very cautious. They still managed to take money out of our security deposit for "apartment touch ups"... which certainly never extended past normal wear and tear and even after having a walk through with management before vacating. Be cautious of Google Reviews. Current management has been great, but the building owner will likely turnover the employees very quickly. We went through 5-6 different managers during our 3 years with MKC. read more

The owner was very rude when I spoke with him months ago after increasing my water bill after I just moved in. Charged small things at high rates on deposit. I was told the land around my unit would be cleaned....there's still trash around there. read more

I had a great experience with MKC properties. When I moved in, they had me in the apartment within three days of viewing the place. I was in the building on Freret Street which is absolutely beautiful and a great location. MKC properties just had a complete change of staff. I never had any major issues with the old staff. The new staff, Dominick in particular, has gone above and beyond to make my move out process go smoothly. I no longer live at an MKC property but I would recommend them for sure. read more

I had an amazing 2 years with this amazing company!! They were quick and Efficient with repairs. Never had a problem with paying rent it was so easy you could pay it online. But sadly it's time to move on to something bigger. If I ever plan to move again I'll definitely come back and see what they have to offer!!! read more

DO NOT RENT FROM MKC PROPERTIES if you can at all avoid it. They are by far the most dishonest and straight-up incompetent company I've ever dealt with! (And I worked with shady New York rental companies for 8 years, so that's saying something.) They lie as a matter of course about even the most trivial things. There is constant staff turnover at the office, so no one ever knows what's going on. I had 4 different property managers for my apartment in the one year I lived at 822-824 Louisa Street. As soon as one new hire finished training, they'd quit, perpetuating the cycle of incompetence. On top of that, they were extremely deceitful during the move-out process, backtracking on guarantees I received in writing, issuing outlandish threats of legal action. Then they made up bogus reasons to withhold 95% of my security deposit, claiming it cost $700 to clean my small one-bedroom. Granted I did not scrub out the bathtub or inside of the oven when I left, but it was pretty clean when I left, certainly much cleaner than when I moved in. I've lived in many apartments in many cities, and this was the only time any landlord has ever withheld any portion of my deposit. They made up similar charges to withhold the deposits of every person I knew who moved out of that building. In general, if a building perpetually has openings, it means they can't hold on to tenants for a reason. It's worth it to pay a little bit more rent each month so you're not hit with surprise bogus charges and can reasonably get your security deposit back. read more

As others have stated this is a HORRIBLE rental company, avoid at all costs!! We have had nothing but problems with them since we moved in. From the shady maintenance men entering our home with no notice, to not being able to reach anybody in the office EVER. No on ever answers the phone and voicemail is always full. Completely incompetent in all aspects. Completely unprofessional, staff is always changing and they let anyone enter your home. We are currently on our third day of no hot water, 3rd day!!!! They don't even have the decency to personally call and follow up with what or if they are even doing anything to fix the problem. They send automated text messages that you cant respond too. Sooo frustrating, and they have the audacity to raise our rent $100, nothing but money hungry thieves. DO NOT RENT FROM MKC, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! read more

There used to be a page for this business, but it seems like the owner tried to get their Yelp and Google Reviews taken down. Not sure where to begin... but MKC Nola is the epitome is evil landlord, RUN AWAY. Landlord will enter your home without notification and won't tell you when they entered at left. Trash piles up everywhere. There is no emergency phone number yet constant issues with apartment. The AC sounds are horrific. Walls are cheaply made and paper thin. Front door is not supposed to be a front door and doesn't have a window or peep hole. Everybody who has lived in one of their properties has problems. The "property managers" are just middle men between Arnold (the owner) and the tenants so that he's not directly denying everything. They also constantly change out. Landlord uses something called "app folio" for communication so you can't reply to their notification. Look at the facebook page for more reviews since they seemed to took down this page. read more
