It took several months for them to fix a patio door that had a 2" gap in it, allowing for bugs to get in. While we were living in the apartment, I filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau because our door hadn't been fixed in months. A couple days later I received a phone call from the property manager, Mike, asking if I wanted to be evicted; because of the complaint I submitted and posting poor reviews on websites Mike threatened to evict me. Being fearful that I would have nowhere to live I withdrew the claim and post... read more

By far the worst landlord I have ever rented from. It is rare that they answer calls or emails and when they do they are extremely rude. We had multiple things around the apartment break since everything is so old and outdated. This wouldn't be a big deal to us but after telling them multiple times, things never get fixed. We had a 5ft hole long in our ceiling for months that they refused to fix! The hole was from the constant leaking of the roof which we told them about months before and they never did anything about. Final... read more

BEWARE! I am writing this review several months (over a year) since I rented from MJ Kelly. My rental from MJ Kelly was my first renting experience in the city of Pittsburgh, and I wasn't sure if it was normal or not. The poor slum-lord type service is not normal!! I have been in another apartment since, and my husband works for another excellent landlord in the city, and the service I received from MJ Kelly would force me to categorize him as a slum-lord. There was a large unsafe crack in my floor, and after 10-15 phone cal... read more

awful attitude, disrespectful – I also wish I could give zero stars. MJ kelly expects to do NEXT TO NOTHING between renters. He charges for painting/cleaning...ANY services provided by any workers you are charged for upon leaving - despite the fact that the apartment is awful when you move in. They sent cleaning crews in BEFORE the painters when we moved in, really? He has an awful attitude. PLEASE NOTE: When I rented from him I told myself...ya know, you're a lot more likely to leave a poor review about a landlord than a po... read more

TERRIBLE LANDLORD- WILL LIE AND STEAL YOUR DEPOSIT!!!! – Mike Kelly is a thief. He lies and is beyond inappropriate on the phone when you call nicely to ask him why he has charged you for absurd things. He DID NOT paint the walls when we moved it, it was disgusting and the carpet was so old and nasty and we were paying over $900 a month. We asked to paint walls within the apartment and were told to paint them back to white. We painted them back, have receipts to prove our purchases and he still charged us for painting becaus... read more

DO NOT FROM M.J. KELLY Terrible Landlord! – If I could give ZERO stars I would. DO NOT RENT FROM M.J. Kelly! Michael Kelly is a thief and a terrible landlord. The company is disorganized, neglects tenant requests, and raises your rent by $100 each year! The staff is incompetent and unhelpful when you call the office with questions. Moreover, Michael Kelly had the audacity to withhold more than half of my security deposit for unnecessary fees which he subjectively deducted from my security deposit after I was told I would rec... read more

Slum Landlord – Lived in one of the apartments for years and nothing ever got fixed even if it was causing damage. They do the least possible (usually nothing despite begging) but want to keep raising your rent. Old, cheap appliances, cheap carpeting, holes in the walls and doors, apartments need painted. Avoid.

rip off slum lord – This apt was not only filthy, but unsafe. The door jam was broken and ajar, the steps were a hazard that caused injury, the landlord enters the apt without notice, he never pays deposits back, makes the renter pay 3 months in advance, is constantly filing with the magistrate and then causing the students to pay those charges too. Habitually lies. We have the receipts from cleaning the apt professionally both b4 and after moving in, MJ Kelly lied and said the apt was dirty when it was in better shape than ... read more
