Warning: Avoid Weiner Property Management for Rentals I…read morestrongly advise against using Weiner Property Management for rental properties. They are listing a house that is not available, yet they encourage applicants to pay a non-refundable application fee. After collecting the fee, they inform applicants the property is unavailable and offer to place them in a different location. This practice is unethical and misleading This company has admitted to doing this with multiple applicants, which explains their poor reputation in the area. Proceed with caution.

I rented from Todd for the 7 years I lived in Champaign at two different TLT properties, and I can…read morehonestly say that my experience in Champaign would not have been as good as it was had I gone with a different landlord/rental company. I signed my lease blind from out of state the very first year and Todd was incredibly accommodating and understanding of the situation, and went out of his way to send me extra pictures of the apartment both inside and out so I knew what I was getting when I signed (this was before video tours were a common thing). When I moved out of that apartment to a bigger one with TLT, Todd happily showed me every unit I had even a little interest in so I could make whatever choice was best and went over the honest pros and cons of each as we went through them. From a renter perspective, TLT is fantastic. Maintenance requests were always taken care of within a few days, and the few times where a very serious issue happened (i.e., pipes bursting) maintenance was there on the same-day to make sure no damage was done to anything inside the apartment. Huge shout out to Jim and Andy for always taking care of things. Any time there was any situation with extenuating circumstances for either me or my roommates over the years Todd was always very understanding and flexible and always genuinely tried to work to help make things work seamlessly. We always had plenty of heads up when our apartment was going to be shown, and there was constant communication in all of the move out / move in processes. I really can't say enough good things about Todd / TLT and the experience I had renting from him. If you have the option to rent from TLT over any other group, do it, you won't regret it.

I spent 2 years at the 709 W Green St apartment. Toward the end of our stay, John Gillespie…read moreinformed us that they would be adding a 2nd bathroom to our apartment. This is a major project, which very much affected our use of the apartment, and they scheduled it during the last 3 months of our lease, so there was no way we would benefit from it. When I explained this to John Gillespie, pointing out that I needed to use that space to assemble parts for my online business, he threatened to evict me for running a business out of the apartment (the 'business' was basically an ebay store, and in no way violated our lease terms). The other units in the building all had the same type of issue with Gillespie wanting to do major renovation work at the tail end of their lease. It was a gigantic problem for everyone living there. We had to go to the tenant's union multiple times, and get student legal involved. Eventually, Gillespie agreed not to perform the renovation work. Very near the end of our lease, I approached John Gillespie and proposed a trade: they could start their renovation work, if I could extend my lease by 3 days. He agreed, and they began work. After moving out, and waiting, we received our security deposit. John Gillespie subtracted as much as he possibly could, including several days of "holdover" amounting to hundreds of dollars, because I stayed in the apartment a few days after the lease ended (which is exactly what we agreed on). Basically, he committed fraud, and went back on his word. It took student legal 3 years go finally get our deposit money back from John Gillespie. I would never trust these snakes again. I really liked the maintenance guy, Jerry. But the manager, Bill, was such a sketchy guy, and the owner himself, John Gillespie, outright defrauded us.

When we moved into the apartment, the dryer was broken, (which they didn't fix for 2 weeks), our sink was leaking, and there was food all over the floor. They are incredibly disorganized and unresponsive to your maintenance requests. They constantly come up with lame excuses for why something is broken or why they didn't fix it sooner. We've had a mold problem since we moved in, and they still haven't done anything about it even though we called about it 3 months ago. The tipping point for me was when water stopped coming into our apartment, and it wasn't fixed for multiple days. You shouldn't be paying this much for rent in Champaign, IL when the apartments are run by textbook slumlords.

I was introduced to…read moreher through a friend and she initially offered to come over and give me advice on what I should focus on prior to listing. I was really impressed with her prep and detail-oriented work, so I decided to use her outside of the relocation firm. And that was definitely the right choice! Thanks to Mariya's advice and thoroughness, I had my first buyer within a week! She gave me tips on what I should fix, what is not worth fixing, how to stage the house during showings; she worked with me on times that were convenient, and she was an immense help during the final stages of the sale, even meeting contractors and movers when I've already left. Even after the first buyer fell through, she walked me through my options, what's our best path and how to proceed. Thanks to all of her work, I had a second buyer and a signed contract less than a month from my original listing date. And just to drive it all "home" for you (a little pun humor :)), this happened in the dead of winter: Dec-Jan, a time notorious for very poor turnover in the Champaign-Urbana market. If you're thinking of selling your house, I highly recommend using Mariya Vandivort and her team.

I used to work for a larger student housing company on campus, and the level of care, respect, and attentiveness given to tenants at Electrum is night and day compared to the other options on/around campus. The very few issues I did encounter over the two years I lived in my unit were always instantly addressed. I typically heard back from any emails I'd send in a matter of hours, and would come home from work the next day to find the problem completely resolved. They were very careful and accommodating to me as a pet owner as well, making sure my cat did not escape outside whenever work was done. You receive very clear and concise policies in the lease, and the move-out guide was equally as easy to follow. Unlike larger companies, I was not nickel and dimed on the security deposit and actually received all of it back. I highly recommend leasing with Electrum Group! Fairly priced rent, easy renewal process, good maintenance, and excellent communication.
