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.

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.

GBGreat roommate matching They have a really good process for finding roommates for someone new to the city - the people i'm living with are great. The quality of the apartment is ok - but not really something splitspot handles. Landlord is responsive tho

GBThis company is ILLEGAL This company is ILLEGAL. They CHANGED THE LOCKS on the doors WITHOUT notice. Tenants were LOCKED OUT OF THEIR OWN HOME. They refuse to make necessary repairs including FIRE HAZARDS. They put tenants in hazardous conditions. I have been in two different rentals under Splitspot. Splitspot is the MOST ILLEGAL company I have ever personally known. They must have the most incredible legal team because they should have been sued about five million times by now. NEVER EVER use Splitspot. EVER.

GBOverall experience Overall, I think Splitspot works well if you are persistent with issues. However, the initial quality of the service is not the best. When I first arrived to my apartment, a lot of appliances were broken and some electricity outlets not working. The cleaning service that they offer is very poor as well. I don't really feel a difference when the cleaning crew comes prior to a new roommate move-in. But, as mentioned, they finally solve problems after being patient and persistent.
