Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value
I rented a duplex in Nevada, IA for several years from MPM. They were responsive to the few issues I had (racoon family in attic). They were always willing to work with me on rent payment due dates and polite whenever we communicated. I would rent again without hesitation.

My wife and I lived in one of their apartment complexes on Bristol Drive for 3 years and it was by far the best place I've ever lived. It was very clean, modern, spacious, and quiet. It was also surprisingly cheap given the quality (especially compared to our previous apartment). We also have friends who lived in other apartment units and their units were also very nice.
The office staff and maintenance workers were always friendly, responsive, and professional. Although there were times where several maintenance issues arose at once (or repeatedly), they were always quick to address the problem

This has been, by far, the best renting experience I have ever had. The apartment itself is wonderful, and the area is lovely and quiet, plus we have access to the clubhouse and pool. We even had our (small) wedding at the clubhouse! The people who work in the office at MPM are always friendly and helpful. When we submit maintenance requests or other queries, they respond quickly, and it is usually fixed the same day that we make the request. Their maintenance people are also wonderful - they always leave the place clean and they are friendly and professional. I would recommend Martin Property

My partner and I have rented through MPM in Ames for over three years and have had an overall great experience! Their units on Grand Ave. are especially great for student couples or singles looking for an affordable and relatively quiet space. We especially enjoyed working with Lauren and Becca in MPM's main office. Their team has always been honest, compassionate and collaborative with any issues we have had. All maintenance issues were addressed promptly.

I DON'T RECOMMEND TO CONTRACT WITH MTM. When I prepared the moving-out inspection, I and my wife spent more than 10 hours for cleaning. We cleaned up everything we can did. Then, I asked MPM to do a inspection together, but they kept saying "why do you want to do the inspection together?" Then why did they make the inspection appointment with me? I had to wait about 30 minutes more than the appointment time.
I did the moving-out inspection with their inspector and she said there was no problem and the apartment was very clean! HOWEVER, they charged $160 for cleaning. WHAT? the unit is very clean

Where do I even start? There were mice infesting the apartment and we killed like 10 of them and when I complained (repeatedly, because nothing was done initially) they came into the apartment and put 2 cheap wooden mouse traps in the kitchen. Any time anything had to be fixed, they'd take ages to come and do it and tried to charge me for everything. They actually argued with me on multiple occasions that the plumbing in the apartment was my responsibility, even though the lease said nothing like this and said they needed to maintain the plumbing. Our drains backed up because we were next to the

I lived in a house rented through Martin for a year. They're quick to respond to maintenance requests and pretty easy to communicate with though they can take awhile to respond to emails.
Rent was pretty typical for the area. The house I rented was in decent condition but it's my understanding that property qualities vary.
The biggest con was the deposit which was valued at more than 1 month's rent. My roommates and our families deep cleaned the place but still got tacked with $400+ cleaning expenses. Don't expect much of your deposit back. Other than that I recommend renting through Martin.
