GBHorrible management of Property Horrible management of properties. They are unresponsive to emails, and you never know when they might decide to drop the property, giving you a quick turn around on trying to find a new place. If you’re in it for a short term lease, just sublet. Yes, there leases are illegal. Usually unsigned by them. I never received lead law documents that were required by law in Massachusetts. They’ll keep your security deposit for a cleaning service, which is an absolute joke because I had the pleasure of sticking around the place after I had moved out because my friend was still a tenant, and they threw water on the floor and tracked mud everywhere. Truly the most horrendous experience ever. Never again.

GBNew Microwave I have been asking for a microwave since I monitor my room on December 1, 2022. I cannot blame Splitspot AT ALL, because they were in constant contact with me and provided me with updates even when there was nothing to update. I just wish that my landlord was as on top of things as Split Spot and it's team. My only complaint is that I wish my roommates were cleaner, but I guess that's what Chlorox wipes are for. If it wasn't for the SplitSpot teams diligence I would probably still be without a microwave. Thank you for all your help.

GBThey kicked me out of my apartment mid lease Only use SplitSpot as a last option when you need a place ASAP and can't find anything. I had a year lease with them and when my other roommates were moving out SplitSpot kicked me out with 2 weeks notice to pick one of their other available apts to move in to MID LEASE. (They write into your lease that they are allowed to do this so you have no recourse) Not only that but theyre completely incompetent with support. I had issues that took me emailing weekly for a month for them to finally send someone out to fix. The worst property managers I've experienced in Boston without question.

GBJust don't You're going to be looking for a place to live in Boston, DC, New York, wherever. You're going to see that a vast number of living spaces w/roommates are managed by this company. You're going to look up reviews and think the same thing I did. "There's no way they can be that bad, right?" And indeed, right. There's no one way Splitspot can be that bad, just a thousand different unexpected ways that will assail you throughout your time living at one of their properties. Lack of responsiveness, weird fees out of nowhere, lack of responsiveness, no legitimate or serious vetting of your roommates, being told to try nonexistent fixes for utility issues for days before someone was sent out (I can't push the red button under the sink because there is no red button under the sink), and did I mention the lack of responsiveness? You're going to try to rationalize the choice -- well, they have most of the listings in the city, they must be legit, right? Please don't make the same mistakes I did. The only reason this isn't 0 stars is because the site won't let me and the bathroom ceiling only started leaking brown goo a few weeks before I moved out, so comparatively it wasn't too much of a hassle. If you're desperate and think you can't do better, believe me, you can.

GBI’m having a couple of bad experiences… I’m having a couple of bad experiences with split spot. There’s good.. tho when money is involved the bad is bad. Coercing tenants to resign to another lease, not even half way through their original; just to charge us more is CRIMINAL Making mistakes on our bills IS UNACCEPTABLE. Constantly changing third party’s where tenants are suppose to pay their utilities is the reason behind splitspot charging its tenants “overdue payments” for utilities. Due to there incompetence. It sucks because I really liked this place and what it had to offer in terms of a setting.
