J&J Equities Reviews

I have lived in my current building for four years, and J & J has managed it for 1. They have exceptional communication, top tier maintenance on site every day and they’re doing lots to improve not just the look of the units but the integrity of the building (through intense plumbing and electric projects). I’m only moving out to be in a bigger unit than this building has.

thank you living here since 2019 and amazing apartment and area!

Good pricing, good amenities

No response to emails, phone calls, they dont return voicemails. Same properties still being advertised with updated move in dates some of them. Oh well moving along to companies with atleast minimal good turnaround time on responding. Edited for response to owner: The fact that you replied to this review faster than you responded to an email a phone call or returned a voicemail regarding an inquiry to just one of your properties proves my point.

Lived here for 3 years and loved it! Maintenance is always super on top of requests, the management office is very communicative and easy to reach, building upkeep is consistent. They really value the comfort and safety of their residents.

We rented from J&J Equities for 7 years and had a great experience. They are fair, responsive, and communicative. It's very easy to use their website and maintenance requests are always completed extremely promptly. The building and common spaces are clean and well-maintained, and they're proactive on things like pest control. Everyone we've ever interacted with from the office and property has been very nice and they clearly value their tenants. I would certainly recommend renting from J&J.

I highly recommend J&J; they are a very responsive, kind, and pro-active property manager. Everything in their buildings is maintained very well, and all the common areas are so clean. It is hard to find a landlord who cares about not just how a building looks but also how it feels. Feel very luck to have them and highly recommend!!!

J and J’s cleaning team is exceptional. The shared spaces are cleaned more frequently than in any building I’ve lived in, and the two women who maintain the 1136 building are consistently thorough, friendly, and professional. Five stars for their amazing staff.

J & J Equities has been an outstanding property manager—responsive, professional, and genuinely attentive to tenant needs. Maintenance requests are handled quickly, and communication is always clear and courteous. It’s rare to find a management company this reliable and easy to work with in Chicago.

Over all they've been good. Seen them more active in the upkeep then the old company that owned my building. We had some hiccups and issues but they where more then willing to help and make the situation right. Fair and honest company compared to some other rental companies I've seen!

Been very responsive, enjoying the building so far.

Having been a tenant of J and J Equities, I can attest that this experience ranks among the best I have ever encountered.

Paying rent, submitting maintenance requests, and accessing move-in resources are all straightforward and just a click away. Everything is well-organized, easy to navigate, and clearly designed with tenants in mind. When communicating with the staff, they are quick and persistent (quick to follow up and make sure every need is met). They exhibit kindness, professionalism, …

I have been a renter with J&J for 9 years now and have had for the most part a good relationship with them. If I have had any requests they've been really good at getting back to me, replacing something or fixing it, keeping the area clean and up to date and most importantly safe. I think my only issue is when there is something that has to be done such as the water having to be shut off to be worked on. I would like to be notified a little more in advance but I also understand that timing can be beyond their control. I did recently have had some health issues come up that would affect my abi…

I moved into my apartment a month ago, and I have been very satisfied with my decision to rent it through J&J equities! I have yet to have a problem with the property, and I have been able to quickly get a hold of people if I had any questions. I would recommend this agency to anyone searching for a place in Chicago.

J&J Equities is a reliable company. They’re very easy to reach out to. I’m happy with the apartment.

J&J equities bought my apartment building (Park Wellington) apartments in Lakeview in August of 2025. At first the new company was a breathe of fresh air that this building needed. I have been a tenant in this building for 11 years and I decided to contact the new manager and give him a blunt email about the status of this building and what needs to be worked on and I had a meeting with him for three hours and he seemed very receptive now months later all emails I send go unanswered maintenance requests go unanswered any text messages or phone call messages I leave with a live person at the …

These people are a joke. Me and my wife applied to them for a studio and we both had great credit scores of over 700 and they told us we still needed a co signer that makes 5 times the rent. I see the reviews are true about them deciding who they want in their buildings. They pick and choose. We felt heavily discriminated against for absolutely no reason. They also don't even have the decency to take a phone call from anyone. Tried calling them multiple times to see why a co signer was necessary but ofcourse no one to answer. They only person you can ever get a hold of is the broker who shows …

I’m giving them two stars because of their lack of professionalism. My lease expires on 9/15. BY LAW, they’re supposed to give me 30 days notice if they don’t wish to renew my lease. I’ve been here for 4 years now. Mid-July, I informed Fry that I wanted to move into a bigger apartment. He showed me a place in Roger’s Park that I liked. On August 1, I payed the $75 application fee. Additionally, I informed him that I had a co-signer to solidify my application for the place. Fry didn’t get back to me until August 25th to tell me that I couldn’t have the apartment. My credit was never ran and I …

J&J recently purchased a building I've been in for about 5 years and the experience has been fantastic! J&J has come in, made me feel at ease (ty Fry!) and are really taking great care of the property. Thrilled this old gal (the building) is getting the treatment she deserves.

J&J recently took over managing the building I live in and they've been nothing but wonderful. Super communicative & easy to work with after experiences with the previous company, and when my keyfob unexpectedly didn't work after coming home after work, Fry was quick to pop over with a replacement fob for me! Looking forward to being a tenant with them.

The WORST property managers. I despise doing any sort of business with Fry.

Easily the best property management company I’ve dealt with in Chicago. Super responsive staff, and maintenance requests are filled out well.

Great place to live! The apartment was great for the price and maintenance was always very responsive and fast. Would move in again in the future

Just started moving in yesterday, Immediately broke my fan (entirely my own fault, pulled on the toggle too hard) and Maintenance was super quick to get it all taken care of. Before movein they gave me a folder of information about the apartment with a little flashlight keychain which was great!

I’ve been a tenant with J&J since the summer of 2020 and they’ve been great! The apartments are kept in great condition and any maintenance requests are dealt with super quick. I just transferred to a different unit in my same building and it was such an easy process; definitely one of the easiest moves I’ve ever done. Management has also been really accommodating to a few modifications I needed due to a disability and that can be really rare to find with property management companies unfortunately. So I can’t recommend J&J enough!

Very good pricing for the size. Apartment was in very good quality when I moved in. New appliances and so on. Everything held together well while I was there.

I’ve lived here for almost 4 years and plan to stay as long as possible. They have great customer service and on site maintenance. There’s a bike room and a laundry room in the building. But the best part is the location!

Our son lived in apartments managed by J&J Equities for two years while at DePaul University. The management and apartments were great! They always responded to maintenance issues if any but those were rare. The property was very clean and safe. Our son loved his time the first year and signed another lease for a second. We highly recommend.

I’ve been living in the same unit for about 5 years and have really loved it. They are so responsive to all my annoying messages. A few years ago, I started dealing with a leak from the unit above me that kept damaging my walls and ceiling. It was really frustrating, and I felt so bad that they had to keep repairing it. It recently happened again, and they did such a wonderful job on everything! They even noticed my sink wasn’t working well and fixed it while they were there. That little gesture meant so much! Fry and the Uptown maintenance crew did a stellar job fixing the main issue and repa…

Staff is friendly and responsive. The malden building is well maintained and work orders are filled quickly. Fair pricing for a spacious studio in a clean building.

I was a tenant at their Wrightwood Ave. location and had a great experience. Shoutout to the maintenance man, Moises for his incredible expertise and generosity.

My roommates and I had a great experience with the team at J&J for 6+ years. They fixed everything, were generally chill, and the value we got for the place that we had feels unethical in hindsight. Always patient and professional, they did a great job. Highly recommend.

I was a tennant in the building where their office is at. I lived in the great apartment for 7.5 years. I was very happy with the place and with the management. My roommates and I are very laid back and they treated us that way. They were on top of maintenance issues. Perhaps it’s because the main office was across the hall, but regardless they took care of almost everything when needed. Our move out was very easy and no hassle. They were friendly and sad to see us go after a long good run there.

Crew was extremely nice and hospitable when renewing my lease.

nothing but good things to say about J&J equities! they answered all my questions and made the moving process smooth :)

Just want to give a special shoutout to the property manager at 6930, Fry Prero. He was always easy-going but still firm and efficient on keeping the building in check and it was clear he held high respect for his tenants, as well as their privacy, well-being and overall safety. Fry was also very accommodating and more than reasonable when helping me navigate any questions or concerns I raised about the property. Truly had a pleasant time living in Rogers Park, and I would definitely recommend J&J for all folks looking for properties on the northside.

Great management team! Very responsible and responsive. Enjoyed them as my realtors.

I am a tenant at one of the J&J properties and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Administration and maintenance are responsive and very helpful. My apartment was clean upon move-in and the building is well kept. I would highly recommend renting from J&J Equities!!

I know first hand how thorough and tenant focused J&J are making them a top management company to rent from - highly recommended their properties

I've lived in Chicago for a decade now and J&J is by far the best management company I've worked with. They have the feel of a family business, they're personable, fast with maintenance requests, and generally responsive to any queries you may have. I just renewed my lease for the third time and I'm glad that I can call one of their apartments home for another year. Moises (maintenance) and Fry (building manager) at the Logan Square property are the stars the of the show, and my go-to people for anything I need.

This is the best real estate agency. We have been living in a rented apartment for the second year and have never seen mice or cockroaches here. Agents are always in touch and polite. We rent an apartment on Malden Street. The neighbors are quiet, the place is wonderful in any case. There are a lot of shops, cafes and bars nearby, Truman College. My wife and I are happy. Many thanks to agent Max for this opportunity

He tenido la oportunidad de residir en varias propiedades de J&J, incluyendo 4735 N Beacon, 6930 N Greenview, el edificio anterior en 4070 Kenmore, y actualmente en 4600 N Beacon. Mi experiencia ha sido excepcional. Las ubicaciones de estas propiedades están en vecindarios muy atractivos, con una variedad de restaurantes, tiendas y parques en las cercanías. Además, las estaciones de tren de la CTA están convenientemente cerca, lo que facilita el acceso al transporte público. El nivel de atención al cliente es sobresaliente; siempre hay personal disponible para el mantenimiento, lo que propor…

Buen servicio al teniente y muy acomodables.

Had a good experience with them in the final month they took over the leasing for my building. I had an issue with the cleaning getting done in time for move out and they were very accommodating- took my needs and concerns seriously and everyone came out happier

I love living here, management is so warm and prompt with any of my queries/concerns, and special shout outs to Fry, Mr Martín and Emmanuel — I can reach out to them whenever, and they help me.

Denied my because I didn't have 3x net rent - even tho my gross was well over 3x. Don't bother applying

Loved my time here. Management was very responsive and the maintenance man, Moises, was super friendly and attentive whenever I had maintenance requests.

Great time with J&J! The maintenance orders I put in were completed very promptly and the team are very responsive. Loved my stay here, property is clean and very safe!

I strong recommend anyone if you need to rent apt or studio go with J&j very helpful and great customer service with respect and honer I’m rent since from 2022 to present

No property management company is perfect, but based on my experience, these guys are as close as you’ll get in Chicago. They were very honest and upfront about the “hidden” stuff about the property like the semi-monthly pest control inspections and latest radon gas results. Best of all they were very responsive any time we would call with a question! And that’s about as rare as it gets. I can think of two instances where they didn’t pick up, but calling later that same day worked out fine. They even worked with us and allowed us to sign a temporary lease for any length of time we wanted. At t…

Just renewed my lease with J&J! the few maintenance requests i have had to put in in the year i have been here have all been completed same day. J&J goes above and beyond to keep the property clean, safe, and comfortable. i love living here!

So far great property management company. The process for leasing an apartment with them was very quick and professional. I love the building I live in also.

The JJ team is great! Thank you for everything!

I was at the property in Logan Square for the last five years and I will never forget that apartment. It was perfect location, Moises was speedy and awesome with fixing whatever problems I had in the apartment (shoutout Moises!) and the apartment was perfect size for one person. Also, the free parking all around was great! I could always find a spot. Thank you, J and J Equitites for a wonderful last five years! I will miss it but it's time to move on. Fellow renters, I hope you love it as much as me. Cheers!

I had the pleasure of being a tenant with J&J Equities, and I must say that my experience was exceptional in every way. The team was highly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met. The property was well-maintained, and any issues that arose were promptly addressed. As a tenant, I appreciated the attention to detail and the commitment to providing a comfortable and safe living environment. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and I felt valued as a tenant. What really stood out to me was how easy they were to deal with - from the initial application process …

Super helpful, checked it and provided additional details without requesting

Very responsive, a pleasure to communicate with, clean properties, attentive to maintenance. Highly highly recommend J&J Equities!

As a tenant, I found J&J very responsive on maintenence a call I made as a renter at their apartment building on N. Beacon. They were out immediately to fix the problem. Nice service.

We have lived on a J&J Equities property for a few years now and we still enjoy living here. One major factor is the responsiveness of the maintenance department. We are able to schedule a time that works best for us and they come right on time and usually fix the issue right away.

I really enjoy living at 7333 n ridge blvd. Great building, friendly neighbors, amazing management, and awesome maintenance. I am looking forward to staying here for years to come.

Turned off my heat without warning and have not followed up about stolen mail - only been here a month. Refuse to repair my clogged tub Laundry machines take my money every other time Terrible management

Honestly a Great company to rent from . I've been here for almost 4 years and very understanding and quick to fix stuff. If you are looking for a place to rent this company is the place to come .

2024 J & J Equities Apartment Review 6930 N Greenview Building (Morse & Greenview) To begin with, the Greenview building is wonderfully managed by J &J Equities!.

My experience with J&J in renting a studio apt in Logan Square has been a real pleasure. My contact, Max, has been quick, professional and thorough answering my questions, processing the application and making the whole transition moving from NYC to Chicago. Wouldn’t it be nice if all property management companies operated like J&J?

Max was great and super informative, accommodating when it came to hours and flexibility. Also, love the online portal! Very easy to navigate and the notifications are great. Made the apartment find very easy during a stressful time.

Very responsive to tenet concerns, requests, and questions.

Expedient maintenance. Scenic location. Lovely neighbors. Seamless software. My favorite place I’ve lived yet.

A good first apartment if you're moving to the Windy City. Close to a lot of basic needs in Uptown, nice walking path, responsive landlords, great neighbors.
