Granted, there are only about 2 out of 50 that are "high", the rest are about right for what I've witnessed. I lived at one apartment, but this landlord is so shiftless and low-down dirty with his tactics that I don't care to give him any more chances to sue me - he lost, but he doesn't even deserve the satisfaction of having made my life a living hell even if only temporarily.
Having said that, I have little to no doubt that all of the really good ratings were bogus entries made by Sherry, Malinda (or whatever the heck her name is), Blondie (the owner's apparent whiny, bitchy, bossy and totally neurotic "70-year-old barroom tramp with a bad blond dye job" trophy-receptionist) or Mr. Halsband himself. Nobody I've ever spoken to actually likes these people or has any good experience with them whatsoever (above and beyond the kind, polite, flattering things they say and do for you when they're trying to secure your deposit - once they have your deposit, you cease to exist).
The only properties they seem to even remotely care about are the Carlyle Arms apartments and the apartments on Craft Avenue in Oakland (for students only). And that's not saying much if you actually bother to check on the apartments - they're all crappy, at least for what you're being charged. They're substandard housing even worse quality than your typical section 8 rental. And they act as if they're doing you a favor by overcharging you and not fixing anything - it's a "privelege" to pay them too much for no real service and an utter disregard for basic human decency. They hate each and every one of their tenants, and it's pretty darned obvious.
Unless you're a pathetic suicidal masochist, you really do NOT want to rent from these insensate reptillians.
