Andco Management, Ltd. Reviews

They raised the rent from $3k to $4k. They see their apartments as transient short-term housing and will keep raising rents aggressively. Highly recommend avoiding if you're trying to stay more than a year in one place.

I lived with Andco for 3 years at an apartment on Lincoln in North Center. Over the course of the 3 years service declined dramatically. The common areas of the building were disgusting and poorly cared for, if at all. At the end of my stay, I noticed multiple cockroaches in the basement. When I contacted maintenance, their solution was to send an engineer over with a spray bottle to "treat" the hallways. After I decided to not sign my lease for a fourth year, I searched for their current listing online, only to find that they had entered my apartment without my permission and took photog…

Andco Management isn't the WORST property management company in the city, but they're certainly not the best. I lived in the 734 Aldine Ave apartment block for 3 years and the unit itself was nice-ish. They very clearly didn't clean the unit before I moved in (walls were very scuffed, floor was dirty, bathroom needed scrubbing).

I am reading the negative reviews and to me, a lot of them sound like isolated issues or "crybaby" people that want to hassle a good company for isolated incidents. I've lived in the city for 15 years, rented apartments from Cagan, Peak (twice), The Enterprise Companies, Haderlein & Son, Lakeview Associates, and Andco. I would say AndCo was easily the best. They have nicer buildings, they maintain my building like clockwork, and the maintenance response time for issues inside my apartment is ALWAYS fast. I would generally ignore the negative reviews, as they seem overly dramatic. This is …

They will charge you the most insane move out fees regardless of the condition you leave your apartment. They charged me $25 per lightbulb, $400 for a cleaning fee on a spotless apartment, and another $200 for a couch that we tried to throw out (charged me for two pieces of furniture because it was a sectional). I would never recommend this company to anyone looking to rent in the Chicago area. Read their insane fees before signing, god forbid you do.
