Lobos Management

Again, everything everyone has said is entirely true. When we moved in, our carpets looked like they had never been cleaned (and I suspect that it has never been changed). We complained and they said that they would pay for someone to come and clean them. Well, it's been over a year and my carpets are still as disgusting, but now covered by an area rug. Our air conditioner broke in mid August and it took them two or three weeks for it to be replaced, only because my mom called and threatened them:) I will say that their maintanence staff was very accommodating when they were dealt with directly. Our pipes froze in February and it took which, of course, left us only with ice cold water. I suspect the entire building was complaining, but it took three or four days to be fixed, again, after my roommate's mom called and threatened them. Also, there have been times where I have received my water bill (which comes through Lobos) AFTER the date on which it was to be paid. Overall, my apartment is not bad. the management, however, is nearly impossible to deal with. They are often rude and nearly always give you the run-around in regards to having a problem fixed. Look elsewhere. Cons: Rarely fixing any problem in a timely manner. more

I recently moved out of one of their apartments and have gotten a bill for not cleaning well enough. I see that there has not been one good review about this place. IF you used to work for lobos, please email me at dbeshero@cdc.gov Cons: I don't have enough space to even tell you more

There is so much mistreatment of tenants. They will rush to get you into an apartment to get your money and then do nothing for you once you move in. I know one employee who shared his concerns after Ron shouted at and swore with the 'f' word more than once over the phone at various tenants in the office. The use of profanities at tenants and workers is not unusual. Ron ridicules half his tenants who request needed repairs behind their backs once he gets off the phone with them. Oneof their leasing agents was overheard saying, I hate working with stupid people."" It's too bad these 'stupid' people are the ones who make these guys rich with their rent. I bet they never thought of that. How well would their business run without rent money coming in. They are cheap. Walls are falling down, mold is rampant, carpet is decades old and they won't replace it, water seeps under the door stops, windows are broken without any urgency to fix them, and don't even ask for the a/c to be fixed as it won't happen. The board of health should inspect some of these apartments and see what is lurking behind that fresh paint. Cons: all more

These slum lords are worse than you can imagine. All the negative reviews are 100% accurate. I lived at the so-called ""Royal Windsor"". For starters, its nearly impossible to move into the place. If you park in the building lot to unload your car, tow trucks will be removing your car in a matter of minutes! My roommate attempted to move in an AC unit, and 15 minutes later, his car was on the back of a tow truck and the driver demanded a $50 bribe to put the car down. Lobos refused to refund this money. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything more

FULL of SCAMS. NEVER FIXED AIR CONDITIONER! ACCUSSED ME OF PARKING IN THE LOT AND I DONT HAVE A CAR!!! WORST EVER! NEVER RENT FROM LOBOS MANAGEMENT!! never ever. Pros: nothing! Cons: scam artests more

I actually got fired for fixing an a/c for a tenant who wasn't late or a bad resident in any way. They were more worried about an unready unrented unit then a good resident. Pros: Several Properties located on T stops Cons: Everything else more

dirty apartment when i moved in. took forever to get things fixed. glass panel in front door to apartment was broken for months and the lock was broken for weeks also. left the apartment in better condiotion then when i moved in. did not get security deposit back and actually owe them $320 for dirty carpets (after i had them professionally cleaned by COIT cleaners, a higher end cleaner), dirty bathroom and kitchen (which i scrubbed with bleach until it sparkled) and that we didn't move out in time (which is BS). from getting back $1200 to owing them $320. never, ever under any circumstances rent with lobos management. Pros: non Cons: everything more

PLEASE AVOID THIS AGENCY. Cons: Bad customer service, bad apartments and dirty buildings more

These people are the most horrible people I've ever rented from! They gave us a paper when we moved in to write everything down that was wrong w/ the apt. & they would fix it for us.well over a year later we are still waiting! I dated and made a copy for my records,(I've heard that their notorious for charging bogus fees so you don't get your sec. deposit back) My heat has broke four times since dec. they kept saying everytime ""we'll have someone over to fix it.""...after a week the first time it broke they came, because i called the health dept.& they were going to be fined.so from then on I've had to say the dept. is coming to do their follow up, to get them to come w/in 2 or 3 days!the trash has overflowed both dumpsters every couple months(they don't pay bills.)the ""secure door"" was on the ground in winter 3/4 times for about a week everytime.They finally put it back on 2 weeks ago, but it was put on backwards & slanted so now it will never be secure! It doesn't even close. fire alarms don't work,I've tested mine & if u pull the hallway ones nothing happens.Also the extingushers haven't been replaced,they are dated 05-06. I can't wait to get the out of this hell hole.I've called to try to get out of my lease but their as*ho*!e$.All they want is $$ and they will never do anything for you unless you take legal action or call the health dept.DO NOT EVER RENT FROM THESE SLUMLORDS!! YOU WILL ONLY LIVE TO REGRET IT!!! more

I have had nothing but issues w/ Lobos Management: Pros: Looks nice on the tour. Cons: Everything. Do not rent from them. more

Before I start all the explainations I can say their maintanace service is pretty fast. Except the utility is broken down pretty faster than they actually show up. If you are considering any apt from this management, just forget it. YOU DESERVE MORE ! Pros: Customer care Cons: Everything Else more

Everyone that has posted a review about this company is completely correct. I moved into my apartment in August and they promised us a remodeled kitchen by September. The current kitchen had broken floring, terrible appliances, and it was missing cabinet doors and drawers. After calling almost every day, and never getting calls back, we finally got a new kitchen in Feb. They said it would take 2 days but it took 2 weeks. We had to microwave everything in the living room. Also, when we moved in there was human waste in the bathroom and the carpet looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Although we made many repairs to the place to make it livable, we still didn't see the majority of our security deposit. NEVER rent from them. They are rude and refuse to call you back. Cons: Slum lords more

Lobos Management is a dishonest organization. They do not give security deposits back. Employees keep taking your number as if they will have someone call you back. I have left dozens of messages since July. It is now approaching October and there is no reply. Fortunately we have our corporate lawyers who will be filing a law suit against Lobos Managment. There will be justice for myself and others. These people should not be operating a business. Tennants sign leases and agree to terms yet they do not. I am also contacting the news stations in the area to warn future tennants of their mismanagment. I will also advise other tennants who are not aware that they too will NOT be receiving their security deposits back. Maybe they can atleast withhold their last months rent. I advise others to report Lobos Managements tactacts and mismanagement to Better Business. Cons: Lobos Management does not give security deposits back more

I am sure that all that the reviewer said is true. Another imortant thing is that you can not even get half of your security diposit. It is bad management. They can find any excuses to not refund your money. Keeping away! remeber it forever, do not let your freinds are cheated. more

Do not EVER rent from these people, or WORK for them either. They violate every law there is in Pennsylvania concerning real estate, and I hope the Attorney General's office takes notes on their activities from reading what's online about them. They have absolutely no concern for human beings, none. They lie about everything, they never give back a security deposit, they never fix anything at any of their properties. They only think of ways to make the outsides of their buildings look good so you get lured in, they are truly slumlords. more

Never rent form Lobos Management! I have live in one of their buildings for almost a year and it has been a horrible experience. First they leased me an apartment without first disclosing the fact that there is a leak in the bedroom ceiling (I live on the top floor). After I realized the leak existed, other tenants informed me that Lobos' refusal to repair it was the reason the previos tenant broke her lease and moved out. I have called them repeatedly to address the matter, but to no avail. Through the winter the leak was not too bad, but once spring and summer rolled around, it became utterly ridiculous. I have called them repeatedly to fix it and they gave me the run around every time. That is, when they don't hang up on me. So I filed a complaint with the Allegheny Co. Health Dept. They gave Lobos until Sept. 16 to repair the leak or they would do their own inspection. Meanwhile, the leak got worse. Today, I came home from work to find that my bedroom ceiling had collapsed. It's now on the bedroom floor. I immediately called Lobos, AGAIN, and got the run around, AGAIN. I had told them before that the ceiling was in danger of collapsing, but they didn't seem bothered by it. The manager was rude and scathing on the phone and said they would have fixed it if I paid the rent. I said I'll pay the rent when my ceiling is fixed. Until then it will be in escrow. more

stay away from lobos management. i know for a fact that most of their customers are unsatisfied with their living experience with lobos. their maintenance is obviously understaffed. their facilities are shoddy to begin with. in the short time that i've been here, my roommate and i have had to initiate every conversation about problems with everything from keys to lights to cleanliness. gross. don't believe that huge smiley face banner plastered to the side of their building on ellsworth. if their employees are nice to you on the phone, they'll probably just leave you on hold for a ridiculous amount of time. if they have a biting attitude, they'll make sure you, a PAYING CUSTOMER, will find out. i hope you read this lobos; i hope you go down the tubes. more

Bad news. Stay away. Nothing will ever get fixed. Everything appears to be okay at first, but there will be problems (frozen pipes, vandals, etc.). The office staff is horrible and so are maintenance. Total lack of security. DON'T RENT FROM LOBOS. Cons: Staff and attitude. Lack of service. more

Trust me, this is the worst management you will ever have. It is not just my opinion. You can read more about how bad they are by googling review of lobos management and see post on other review site. This site does not allow me to disclose those sites for you. Sorry. more
