Do not rent from this company. They do not make repairs or do any maintenance. They find ways and loopholes to keep your security deposit when you are entitled to getting it back. Mary Brown is a financially dangerous person that should not be in the rental business. She will rip you off the first chance she gets!

Everyone warned me not to rent from her. I only saw the landlady twice, when we viewed the apartment & when I signed the lease; very difficult to get a response to my phone, email, or text communications. In newspaper because of a lawsuit against her by multiple tenants for substandard living conditions. City officials recognized her name, never had anything positive to say. Only one open parking space allowed; substandard covered parking spaces must be rented for $50 per month. Every repair visit required a $100 payment from the tenant. The water pressure was very low, never improved despite my noting it in the walk-through forms & emailing the landlady about it. There was a gap in the floor between the toilet & the sink when I moved in that never got repaired despite my communication about it. The outdoor garbage bins filled up quickly, often overflowed, and garbage pickup sometimes didn't happen. Update March 2018: contacted lawyer bc landlady violated the Illinois Security Deposit Return Act. He attempted to discuss situation with her but she deflected, delayed, ignored him. Lawsuit to follow. Update Nov 2018: lawsuit filed. Efforts to serve subpoena resulted in info like "known avoider", "can't be reached", "won't answer the door", etc. Update Dec 2018: won lawsuit against this person.
