I live in an apartment building of medium midtown size which is (mis)managed by Kismet. My year's experience with them is that they do not give one rat's ass about their tenants. First, there was a bad spot in the ceiling when I viewed the apartment. I was assured the leak was an old one and that it had been fixed. FALSE. The first rain it leaked like a seive and so did several other new spots, ruining my new, professional paint job. Kismet has never repaired that damage. Second, the A/C went out. It took several days of 100+ degree weather before the outside unit was replaced. It did not cool like the old one and now doesnt cool the apartment at all on mere 85 ' days. Third, I started having problems with my refrigerator. After three half hearted attempts at repairing it Kismet finally replaced it with a refrigerator that is missing parts, drawers, shelves, etc.. It looks like something they picked up that morning off a curb in North Memphis, but, at least its not ruining my food. Trying to get them on the phone is an entirely distinct problem. You are placed on hold until you have to hang up and call back. If you call after hours the voicemailbox is ALWAYS full. Word of God! Try it right now if you dont believe me, I mean, as you are reading this, while after hours. 901-272-8658. Hit any of the options, or ALL of them, and see for yourself! The building I am in is owned by a lady who lived there for decades. It was good place to live then. She moved out and Kismet took over. It seems to me they are on an avowed mission to turn the place into ghetto property. DO NOT RENT FROM KISMET!
