Fritz Lofts

Cabrio is god awful and bullies their tenants at every turn simply because they know the risk of retaliation is low. If you're going to rent with them, have Student Legal Services on speed-dial.

The apartments themselves are really cute. However, the management is terrible. Maintenence will come into your apt without being given permission, for whatever they like. While I was there it was discovered that everyone's keys went to everyone's apartment on the property. The property management company is absolutely the worst, I've lived in several different kinds of apartments and this is the worst experience of my life. Avoid this place at all costs.

I wish I could give Cabrio a zero-star rating, as I strongly advise everyone to avoid them at all costs! Before stating my specific experience, here are the things they have done to the tenants at Fritz Lofts: 1. Charging each tenant fine due to inappropriate garbage disposal by residents they could not figure out. 2. Charging a lockout fee if you request a maintenance service and leave with your door unlocked. 3. They imposed charges such as $15 per month water fee that is hidden in the lease. This is on top of the exorbitant utility fee for electricity and gas due to their old and energy-inefficient furnace. The monthly utility fee in my tiny studio is over $100 during the winter even when I was travelling and kept the AC switched off. And they do not allow tenants to turn off the gas even when you are away to keep the temperature of the furnace. Cabrio is as unprofessional, unethical and unlawful a landlord can get. They inspected my fridge during a house showing tour and accused me of violating my lease due to putting an open milk jug that "expired on April" in my fridge while I was on a travel. They then arranged housing keeping inspections after three days, despite I clearly stated that I wouldn't return by then and that I would arrange for a friend to come to my house to remove any open food source. (At that time none of us knew the heck that what they mean by food source was a milk jug in my fridge). They entered my unit without permission nonetheless to do the inspection, and threatened me with violating the lease and eviction, which I find utterly ridiculous so I am putting it here. To compound matters, Cabrio took it upon themselves to change my lock during the housing tour without my presence and argued that it was necessary due to dirt in the lock. As if that wasn't enough, they proceeded to charge me an exorbitant $350 for this unauthorized action. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my lock, and I had no knowledge of any minor issue until they decided to change it without my consent. Perhaps realizing their charge is unjustified, they resorted to outright lies by claiming it was the second time they had to replace the lock for me. However, they conveniently ignored my email seeking clarification on when this alleged first replacement occurred. If you rent with Cabrio, prepare yourself for endless discussions with your lawyer! The behavior displayed by Cabrio is utterly outrageous. They seem to have no qualms about disregarding tenant rights, invading privacy, and engaging in dishonest practices. I felt compelled to share my experience here to shed light on their unscrupulous actions and to give prospective tenants a serious warning. UPDATES: Cabrio removed the charges and rescinded the lease violation notice.
