Old World Properties LLC

Multiple tenants stockpiled bags of garbage on back porches and as a result, my unit was infested with rodents and my unit was also infested with multiple types of insects such as huge cock roaches, houseflies, horseflies and fruit flies. Mr. Downing refused to address my concerns, but summarily evicted me for contacting him about these highly unacceptable behaviors of multiple tenants in Old World Properties' apartment building.

The best rental management company I have ever used. Mr. Downing is very professional and always on top of repairs when needed. I rented from him for several years (two addresses), and I personally know some of these people leaving reviews, and they're lying or exaggerating. Especially the one who claimed to have her apartment deep cleaned if that was a deep cleaning she needs to sue the company she hired, and not blame the company for subtracting from her rent for cleaning. There was one review in particular (Hazel) she never rented from Old world Properties because she applied for my apartment. She is merely mad because she did not meet the income requirements for the apartment. Posted at the bottom are some pictures of one of the buildings where I rented and honestly do they look like

I have been a tenant with Old World Properties since July of 2019. I live in a second floor 2B 2BA in the fan. This company & the landlord, Mr. Downing, have been exceptional. Aside from an occasional missed email or phone call, we have gotten responses for any & all service and/or maintenance requests. Mr. Downing has supplied us with all the paperwork & information necessary whenever we need it. Rent & pet fees are average & manageable, and the company has made no inclination of raising them despite the state of our economy. Old World Properties does not have an actual website (ended up finding my current apartment on craigslist) & I consider it a hidden gem given the other city apartments I’ve lived in. Would recommend to anyone!

This company withheld a portion of our daughter's security deposit because a mattress was left at the dumpsters in the alley behind the building where my daughter lived. Multiple apartments in multiple buildings have access to these dumpsters, and for some reason Old World Properties decided to randomly hold us responsible for the mattress. I have waited a year to leave this review in the hopes that Old World Properties would fulfill their promises to return this portion of the security deposit. I have patiently made four phone calls and sent an email, and they promise to take care of this and still.....nothing. The company was no better at responding to the mice and insect problem in the apartment either. Renters should be wary of this company!

I rented an apartment from old world properties and I ended up very disappointed in how they deal with tenants. They are SLUMLORDS please beware of this company. I lived in the apartment for a year and it had an awful sewage or dead animal smell in the bathroom and the kitchen. Around the last 2 months of my residence there my neighbor upstairs had an exposed water pipe burst. Also to clarify it is against code to have any exposed pvc pipes visible. The ceiling was saturated and dripping profusely , as the walls also had water running down them. They said they would fix it later, as in after I moved out. Also after I moved out they kept all of my security deposit, with no intention to give it back. PLEASE BEWARE OF OLD WORLD PROPERTIES!!! They are the lords of the Slumlords
