My experience with BJB started out ok, but ended up being a nightmare. Over the course of months, I had to place dozens of tickets for fixes around the place (as maintenance would regularly do poor work), I went without hot water in my kitchen for months, I went without a toilet that would work without having to flush it 3-4 times for months, I had a front door that would not lock regularly, screen doors that would nearly blow off the balcony, obnoxious neighbors that would make noise until 11-12
...at night regularly without proper recompense from management - and more. Management was not proactive in getting things handled (obviously) as they would not be addressed with a sense of urgency, or not be addressed at all.
Do to all of the above I moved out a month early, with proper notice given; I even offered to help show the place and help them re-rent it. That all being said, they failed to re-rent due to poor management of the effort (big surprise) and are now coming after me for that last month’s rent...
They KNOW they are in the wrong here, it is clearly documented over the course of months and they have been notified of this; but yet they still persist to come after me, rather than just let me walk away? Now I am involving a lawyer and will fight this all the way through. BJB will not be getting a single CENT from me.
It has been a nightmare and wholeheartedly DO NOT recommend living at a BJB property given that you commit to the property management company as much as you do the unit/neighborhood.
Don't say you haven't been warned!
