I would think with all that business Farnam gets they would be prepared to treat tenants with respect… They don’t. They don’t care if you live in a place and pay rent on time. They will do whatever they want. Before 9 am, I woke up to sounds of wood breaking in the basement. I came down there to see what’s going on and found a maintenance employee breaking down wood and then another guy outside of my window is cutting the driveway with a saw. I know they don’t have to give you a heads up in common areas but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. it’s not like this is a big apartment building. It’s a small 2 apartment house. And waking up to a stranger who doesn’t live here in the basement making loud noises like that only confirms how little they care. It’s not just this incident. There are so many other shitty things. When we first moved in they never told us they use the garage and basement as storage. They told us they would clean the apartment before we moved in—it was totally filthy

The Good: Outside of specific days this winter (which was brutal) I had running/hot water every day. Maintenance requests were completed quickly and efficiently. Noise from neighbors was minimal and to be expected. Property Mgmt Company was respectful of my schedule when showing the unit to new prospective tenants. The school across the street was actually relatively quiet during the day, even during recess. The Bad: Needed to give a 6 month notice to vacate, which is a little annoying. But everything else was great about the Property Mgmt company and the employees. Packages were almost always stolen (or placed on another tenants porch or neighbors porch.) During the spring/summer/early fall the scooters/motorcycles and sports cars LOVE drying down Chapel late at night or during the day. The current snow removal company does a poor job, and we often had to shovel behind them. Street parking is trash, and dangerous. Don't do it. I saw 5 cars in a single go get taken out by a city bus.

Really love the family home we are renting! Decided to renew even though the utility cost was pretty high because the location can’t be beat.

No complaints. Move-in was handled swiftly and with ease, maintenance was responded to quickly. The apartment is dark at times but it's a basement so I knew what I was getting myself into. Farnam has been great and would highly consider renting with them again.

The building is not being kept up with and is slowly falling into disrepair. Repairs are temporary patches that fail within weeks, not long-term fixes that address the root cause. Heating was inadequate during winter months. Communication from management was slow and often required repeated follow-ups to get any response. The apartment itself had potential, but the lack of investment in upkeep made it impossible to feel comfortable in.
