Rosh Management

I’ve been a tenant of Rosh Management for the last 6 months, and thus far my experience with this company has been outstanding. For starters, Rosh is a family owned business, and that’s something you feel right from the get go. From the first apartment tour, Tony and his mother Barbara were very considerate of our needs in an apartment, and ultimately were able to get us into a perfect (and reasonably priced!) 2 bedroom in Wicker Park. Since that time, they’ve been great landlords who have been on top of routine maintenance, and extremely helpful in a pinch. In fact, a few weeks ago when I found myself locked out of my apartment, Tony was able to swing by to let me use the loner key free of charge! Having had that happen to me once before with another rental company, I know just how above and beyond that is. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t nickel and dime me by changing some crazy $ 100 lockout fee (as others would). Lastly, I think it was very kind of them to have sent out Holiday cards this year to all their tenants. It’s the little things that make a big impression. Keep it up Rosh Management! 5 stars!

Babara is super nice. I lived in a building managed by them for a couple of years. Highly recommend.

I have been renting from Rosh for several years now. My unit was clean and freshly painted when I moved in. The appliances and fixtures are not top-​of-​the-​line, but then who wants to pay extra for that? It is a a great, no frills, practical space.
I originally lived in a different unit, and when issues arose with a neighbor, Rosh worked with me to move to a unit that is a bit quieter (I sometimes work from home so need a home office).
My rent increases have been modest so far, and they do repairs rather promptly. The property is well kept and they take care of issues in the common areas as well as keeping up with the cleaning and shoveling.

I’ve lived in a property managed by these guys for the past year and a half. The place was kind of a dump when we moved in, because the last renters were really gross– we spent two straight days cleaning. Luckily, the Roshangers are totally reasonable landlords, and gave us a credit toward the next month’s rent. The annual rent increase was really low and reasonable, and they usually respond to repair requests in a reasonable amount of time. I wish the communication was a little better on their end– but for the location of our apartment, the fast response to issues, and amount of amenities, I am overall glad that these guys are my landlords.

The absolute worst. I had an appointment to see an apt/​pay security deposit. I was told no one else was seriously interested in the apt. I waited outside the apt for 30 min, kept calling the office, no answer. After an hour I got a call from them saying someone else had taken the apt the day before. No call from them, even though they knew I was going to pay the security deposit. They must really be hurting for money if they had to leave me in the dust and take someone else’s money one day before. I have 2 weeks to find an apartment. Fuck Rosh Management.

I’ve lived in the same apartment for 1.5 years. I renewed my lease for a second year. The move-​in process was great. I requested that the bathroom floor tiles be replaced and that a bedroom be painted before I moved in. They took care of it for free. They allowed me to move in a few days early to make the move from my previous apartment much easier. They are responsive if I have any questions or need any repairs (I’ve had very few). They are good about doing annual checks on the furnace, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building is well-​kept. People come around to clean up trash, rake, shovel, etc very frequently.

I rented a place from these folks back in 2000 – 3. It was a coach-​house on Erie that had a large landing outside the door in the hallway, which the previous tenants had used for storage. My roommate and I did also, which was fine for more than two years. One day, we got a call from Barbara stating that they needed to do some work in the hall, and asking if we could move our stuff inside the apartment. Thinking that this was a temporary situation, we piled the stuff up in a corner and waited. A week later, a wall with a door had been built on the landing, and we were notified that if we wanted to use that space, it we would have to pay extra each month for it! While we debated this with Rosh, they actually stole our bicycles which had been in the hall on the first floor (again, this was customary practice– for our neighbor downstairs also), and only «found» them in a locked room in another one of their buildings after we threatened to call the police.
The shame of it was, we had lived there for 2.5 years with no complaints– but you can bet we were out of there at the end of the lease – minus the final month’s rent, as I didn’t trust them to refund our deposit at that point. Avoid if possible!

I have lived in a Rosh apartment for the past two years. I think they are great. Dealing with Barbra is always pleasant and while some minor repairs did fall to the wayside everything that was important was repaired promptly and thoroughly. They redid the whole roof because of a leak in our bathroom. Yes, the cabinets were a little run down and the carpet worn, but laundry in unit can’t be beat.
