When my daughter and two roomates moved in to the apartment owned by ES Management on 222 North Craig Street, it was dirty and needed many repairs. We were given a checklist sheet to spicify problems, but nothing was ever addressed. At the end of the lease, deductions were made from the deposits that were false, for example, they deducted $80 for scuffs on an interior door. In one bedroom there was an area where they had papered over a hole in the wall without plastering. When a bed was pushed up against the wall, the paper tore and we had to pay damages of $250 for damaging a paper wall. We cleaned for two days before vacating an apt. that was filthy when moving in and still did not get the full deposit back. I think ES Management takes advantage of the college students they mostly rent to because they know they will not go after them legally. They even require the stove and refrigerators are moved and cleaned behind and under and charge $165 if the furnace filter is not replaced each month. Sounds like a racket to me.
Pros: Conveniently located to the University
Cons: Poor response on repairs, not a good value for the money, unresponsive management
