Mary Chapin Carpenter

APARTMENT reviews sound good but one MUST consider the source of the reviews first! To start, there are basically 3 types of reviewers.

1. There are the ones that seem to dominate every review that I've seen on the apartment internet sites and presumably, they are current or past tenants themselves. I have what I think is a pretty good explanation why the apartment referral business hasn't taken off, so to speak, and why they seem to have little promotional punch totally opposite of reviews in movies for instance. Movie reviews are going to be subjective to the individual's opinion as well but at least you get an educated third party critique that has their integrity to uphold.

Some apartment tenants can be great & some unruly. There are a couple of types that need to be addressed, (I) is the tenant that is just plain rowdy, they have parties that cause disturbances, are loud and obnoxious and are only concerned about their own selfishness. There was a certain age that all of us went through and can relate to. (II) Then there is the apartment tenant that is never satisfied, the constant complainer, the tenant that is always calling the office.... Both of these can leave nasty reviews if they don't get their way and if reprimanded for their actions.

Unfortunately, on the apartment review sites, there is no real rebuttal system in place like on EBAY, where the management can comment on the reviewer.

Two of the MOST IMPORTANT things you have to remember are, "there is always another side to the story," and most people will go out of their way to complain but unfortunately will not go out of their way to praise.

2. The second type of reviewer is the media critic, and well, the apartment renting business is just not interesting enough to get positive media feedback.

3. The third and what I believe would be the most accurate source of information would be to talk to friends who currently reside or resided at the property in the past.

Ok, so you are back to square one? - You cannot trust tenant reviews, there is no media coverage or third party critics to speak of, and you have no friends or family members who can give you a heads up.

NOT TO WORRY - There is a solution!

In years past, apartment management companies had you sign a 6 -12 month lease locking you into a long contract. Today, there are still contracts but many of the larger apartment complexes now offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. You can find a list of these properties that will give you that "piece of mind" benefit on the apartment website listed below.

Or consider signing a short term lease (usually 1-3 months) in order for you to have an earlier exit strategy if it doesn't go quite as you expected. However, you should know that short term leases most always charge a premium rate (usually 10-20%) for the non-typical term. The shorter the term, the more expensive the rental rate.

To conclude, you can read reviews and be misinformed, or get a referral from a friend or relative, or focus on the apartment management companies who offer satisfaction guarantees.

Mr. Johnson is the owner of an apartment advertising website Houston Apartments since 1996. He also owned and operated a local apartment relocation company from 1994 to 2002. During the past 15 years he and his agents have served over 100,000 people searching for apartments in Houston. He authors several informational subjects associated with the apartment rental industry as a service to his customers and the public domain in general. The local website provides specific details on over 1200 Houston Apartments with photos, floor plans, rent specials and "real time" apartment availability.
