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.

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.

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

GBInhumane living situations FILTHY apartment. The house I live in has NEVER been deep cleaned, there are even hair from previous tenants stuck to the walls. CRAZY expensive for what it is. Damages are not taken care of (they send YouTube videos instead of professionals) and we also have a massive rodent problem - they said they would send an exterminator, guess what, somebody came and put up ONE (!) additional trap… no serious solution to the problem! The company does not care at all that people are living in inhumane housing situations. I am considering taking legal actions against SplitSpot mainly because of the health concerns that come with the housing. Please spread the word that people should avoid SplitSpot as much as possible!

GBNon-reaponsive waste of time I attempted to use splitspot to find a room in Boston and they were non reaponsive, did not connect me with any of the apartments, and did not follow up on any of my questions. This prevented me from contacting any of the potential rooms making this platform useless. I ended up having to use another platform. I also know another potential customer who after multiple email exchanges was left in the same spot. This may work for some people but you have to be lucky I would go elsewhere.
