Fair, clean, reasonable I disagree with others' reviews. I have rented from this husband/wife business twice now, and although they can come across as honest or blunt, which some may take as rude, I think you would have to be somewhat like this to rent in a college town. We have found them to be fair and kind - they even invited us for thanksgiving dinner when they found out we had no family in the area (we had rented from them at this point for 5 months). Their buildings are older, but well kept up and clean. We have had no... read more

Beware! I was helping my son find an apartment to rent and looked at two buildings owned by this landlord. The property manager was very helpful. The apartments were filthy with one bathroom completely black with mold and the other bathroom less so, but still moldy. Ultimately, the application process was ridiculous, the landlords (both husband and wife) incredibly rude, and they would not replace any of the grease soaked rugs or the very aged appliances. Their MO seems to be to invest no money in their properties, treat peo... read more

Lots of privacy I agree with the previous reviews. The apartments were outdated, the bathroom was in a disgusting state of disrepair, and some appliances weren't functional. But you know that when you move in, and you get what you pay for. However, there landlords were the most libertarian managers I have ever had. For a family business, I was surprised by how much privacy I was afforded. They NEVER stopped by to check in, NEVER did an internal housing inspection, and said outright that what I do is my own business. It was a... read more

Price is good but that is about it. I rented two apartments from them. They are slow to update the apartments into the 21st century. The apartments were old and poorly landscaped. The on-site management, however, is wonderful. They are quick to fix any problems and are readily accessible. There is one bonus to these apartments and that is the price, but it would be more worth it to pay an extra $50 a month to get a place that doesn't have mold, has newer windows, and doesn't have an ant problem.

Do not rent from them! Besides renting old properties that are very ill maintained, Stan Elliot (husband and wife team) treat tenants unfairly, and are unethical. They frequently alternate calling and tell the tenant different versions and do not claim responsibility for what the other one says. They rely on confusion to undermine the tenant. You will end up paying more than you should if you rent from Stan Elliot.

not impressed They are a huge real estate business based mostly on renting and less on sales. Unfortunatelly, my experience with their renting places is not very good; the buildings owned by them are old, moldy, smelly, and poorly landscaped. They do not ask for a very big price per apartment, but for $30 dollars more a month you can get a better place.

:-( I have been renting an apartment from Stan Elliot Real Estate for 2 years now. They are pretty good landlords, with capable managers that solve your problems as soon as possible. The only downside is the initial condition of their properties: old houses, with mold, and ceiling heating that eats a lot of money during the winter!
