There are roaches in all the apartments all they do is keep spraying and it only got worse after they kept spraying. After messaging them about my lease they’ve never gotten back to me.

Horrible service, I went beyond and above to submit application after talking to the in phone. Additionally, added previous tenant as reference, also incase added co-signer. For some reason. It was not enough…

Good luck getting your security deposit back! We left the apartment looking far cleaner than it was when me moved in, but did not get our money back. We have attempted to contact J&J a dozen times via email/phone and have had no response.

Alright overall. When I initially moved in the AC unit was broken and it took a month for them to come and replace it, in August. Besides that any other situations were handled relatively fine. However, me and my girlfriend cleaned our apartment for 2 hours and still got charged for them supposedly cleaning a small one bedroom apartment for an additional 4 hours ($150 charge). Which is even more ridiculous given the cleanliness of the apartment when I moved in.

They are always very prompt about sending people out to fix maintenance issues when I call, and they are very friendly.

Called to get my tub fixed, as it was continuously draining. Maintenance said the fixed the tub, was not fixed. My AC needed fixed as well, they did not give me a 24 hour notice before coming in. On Monday they told me the maintanence guy would be coming “maybe Wednesday-Friday sometime”, I specifically asked they give me a 24 hour phone call notice since they didn’t know, did not get one. Maintenance man just showed up at my apartment and said he’d be back the next day, never came. When I called to get an update because I didn’t want him just walking into my apartment again unannounced

Really cool guys but don't lose faith if they are a bit lazy. They are good overall though.

Do NOT rent from J&J. I called about the water heater not working a week ago and they still haven’t fixed it. The dryer in the basement is always broken and they broke my door lock when conducting a showing of my apartment. Avoid if you value your sanity.
