Peer on 7th — Local services in Columbus

First, the property management of this apartment is extremely poor. Whether you call or email them, they will not respond at all—you have to go in person, and often you won’t even find any staff at the front desk.

Second, their work efficiency is unbelievably bad. Whether it’s about getting your deposit back, maintenance, or administrative issues, it is impossible to get anything done in less than a month.

Third, the management engages in fraudulent behavior, deliberate obstruction, and even racial discrimination. These are sensitive issues, so I won’t go into too much detail, but please note that this is not just my personal opinion.

Fourth, although the apartment is relatively new, problems keep coming up. Almost every month there are hardware or facility failures.

Fifth, the billing system is unreliable. It often overcharges you or shows incorrect amounts.

Sixth, the security is very poor when it comes to outsiders. There have already been multiple safety incidents, including theft and even cases of outsiders occupying rooms.

Putting aside the hardware issues of the apartment itself, what I want to emphasize is that the management team here is truly terrible. It is by far the worst management team I have ever encountered—absolutely the worst, with...

So far, so good! I just signed my lease here. They were very informative and very quick to respond. I've spoken to Bradley, the leasing consultant, a lot and he was very helpful and had an answer to all of my questions. Peer is currently under construction, so I was worried there would be some unanswered questions but they knew it all! The application process was a breeze and far simpler than I anticipated. I appreciated the fact that they were leasing super early for next year so I could be ahead and not have to worry about it.

For the price, you get a LOT of great amenities. Most places that are similar to Peer around campus charge $2,300-$2,500 a month. Their price point is reasonable for all that is included. Fully furnished, courtyards rooftop terrace, and it's brand new! Really looking forward to moving in! The location is pretty good- it is a bit farther south than most places but I really like that it's right in between campus and Short North. I would say it's less than 10 minutes (walking)...

Lousy housing and management. At the beginning of 2024, everything was smooth and responsive. While there were issues such as a leaky ceiling and a sewage line breaking in the garage, which caused sewage to leak everywhere, management made effort to quickly address it. However, as the year progressed, our experience got worse. Safety issues, non-responsive emergency maintenance when our AC went out, causing the apartment to be 95 degrees, and more.

The final issue is being charged an obscene fee when moving out due to damage that my roommate caused. When I asked for an itemized receipt or tried calling, I was met with silence. Due to this charge potentially impacting my credit, which I obviously did not want, I paid it under duress.

For the amount of money you are paying, I would suggest trying to find housing elsewhere. Otherwise, if any problems arise, good luck, you are going to have to figure it...
