Allegro John Real Estate

I don’t know the experience of the other poster but I can tell you I’ve had nothing but a wonderful experience here. Robert takes care to bring in good tenants, makes sure the property is kept up, stays on top of maintenance issues and has always been kind and laid back to work with. I have enjoyed being a tenant for nearly a year and hope to continue being a tenant with him.

I rent an apartment at one of the Allegro properties, and the following review is my personal experience. While John is neither someone I’ve met or even been introduced to, I have dealt with a landlord named R. Allegro who works for Allegro Properties. To say that this landlord (not John) is the worst landlord I’ve dealt with during 9 years of renting in cities such as LA, Dallas and Miami would be an understatement.
The apartment itself is pretty. I take care in cleaning it and keeping it well-​groomed as it is my home (for now). My experience with the landlord, however, has been a nightmare. He charges an arbitrary amount of money for utilities when the property has never been fully occupied. The ‘gated’ parking is a great selling point; the gate, however, has been broken for several months, and I have seen residents having to fiddle with the electricity box just to get the gate to open. The lawn is rarely (if ever) watered. I personally have had several packages (and a sofa) taken from within the property.
I have asked my landlord on several occasions for itemized receipts so that I can make sure every single cent and penny is paid to him. I do not believe in neglecting pay for the sake of it; he is my landlord, and I will pay him because I believe in doing well towards people. I have never once received any ‘list’ or ‘itemized list’; instead, I receive fear-​based control and intimidation to stop my exercising my rights as a tenant.
The most recent incident with this landlord occurred when I received a text message in which he used a homophobic slur towards me. This landlord knows nothing of my sexual orientation.
It is my personal opinion that this landlord does not understand how to treat people-​or tenants– nicely, nor does he even care to learn how. I recommend that you take a hard look at your ability to tolerate a landlord that will stop at nothing to scare you, threaten you, treat you like garbage, operate solely for greed and generally use misanthropy as his means of charming tenants. In other words, I allege that it would be foolish to even bother with this landlord and his inefficient, hateful ways.
