Living on the bottom floor is a nightmare. Ever since they removed the carpeting from the apartment the noise from the upstairs is even louder. The people walking upstairs rattle my glasses in the cabinet and the doors shake a make noises. I can also hear the people across the way when the are loud in the living room. Not to mention they never do anything about a person smoking in the apartment, this can be smelled by a lot of other apartments. The best part is that about once a month or so you hear a gurgling and then someones bath water backs up into your bath. This problem has been reported multiple times and no fix has been made. Its a good space save the problems but it sucks to have problems not be fixed.

I rented from different landlords every year while attending OSU, and University Manors has been a dream compared to some of my other experiences. The office staff are very welcoming and seem to genuinely care for their tenants. I lived in a studio apartment at 31 Chittenden, and I loved the apartment. Brand new appliances, granite countertops, laminate hardwood floors...it was all very nice. Electronic locks on the building (both outside building doors and individual units) make the place feel very secure. I have moved out now upon graduating, and I received my security deposit back in full (which is a first for me; previous landlords have deducted from my deposit for made-up reasons). Maintenance was always great. You can easily submit maintenance requests online, and my requests have always been handled promptly. I never had any big issues other than a small leak from my kitchen sink that someone came out within the hour to take care of. Additionally, the landlord was proactive about maintaining the unit. I would occasionally receive notices that crews would be in to upgrade/fix certain things (including repainting the bathtub and cleaning/changing air vent filters). There is just one aspect that was a little frustrating at times and could be improved: Parking spaces at 31 Chitt. are assigned by apartment number. Given the close proximity to restaurants such as Trism, Cane's, Panera, etc., there were often non-residents who parked at the apartment lot. If someone happened to be parked in your assigned spot, you had nowhere else to park expect to find a spot on the street (if you were lucky to find one reasonably close). I do have to give kudos to Shamrock Towing; they did a great job at enforcing the lot. I would see tow trucks driving by very often. However, they couldn't quite keep up with the idiots parking there without permits, and on occasion I would come home to find a car in my spot. If the parking spots were not assigned by number and you could just park anywhere in the lot, this would not be so much of an issue because usually not everyone who lives there is parked there all at the same time. Therefore, having unassigned parking would likely leave you a few parking options even if there are one or two non-residents parked there (who Shamrock would eventually tow). TLDR; had a wonderful experience living at 31 Chitt. and really appreciated the fair business that University Manors runs, especially in a city where there are a lot of landlords looking to screw over college students.

Be very wary when dealing with them. The pictures of the apartments online are not a good representation of what you are actually getting. Rented a 2 bedroom apartment and only ONE of the bedrooms had an AC unit - how is that even a thing? They acted as if this was a completely normal situation. if you are a student at Ohio State make sure you are not being taken advantage of

Moved into our townhouse at 230 W Norwich Ave, and it was filthy. There was dirt and empty boxes everywhere, supposedly from maintenance. A month in, a leak appeared on our bottom floor ceiling. Maintenance took a week or two to show up, and did nothing. Then they came again when we kept complaining and made a giant hole in our ceiling. The hole was there for a few months in various stages of "repair". We left the apartment spotless when we moved out, but they took half of our security deposit for marks on the walls, because we did not mention every single mark or hole in our report at the beginning of the year. Worst renting experience ever.

I lived in University Manors apartments for 3 years and had a wonderful experience with them. The apartment was very affordable, maintenance responded quickly, and the staff was extremely well organized and helpful. I had a contract issue moving from one University Manors property to another and the staff took six or seven hours out of a day to help me sort everything out. They went far beyond what I would normally expect of a landlord, especially considering the problem was not their fault. Some people on here are calling the staff rude, but I dont see it that way at all; theyre just on top of their responsibilities and expect you to be the same.
