Kristen has been incredible to work with. Not only does she answer our questions promptly and respectfully but also is very proficient with her communication between us and the landlord. She ensured a seamless transition when we took possession of the house, and made us feel very at home.

I have recently starting renting a lovely new property from Kenmau and the team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. All of my questions have been answered in a very timely manner and they have provided numerous local contacts to me as Im new to the area. The entire process has been seamless and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking in the area.

I have been renting with Kenmau for approx 7 years. Every time I have had an issue, (leaking roof, no water due to a water main leak, unlit common area for instance), there has been a timely response and my issue was handled quickly. Management follows up to ensure everything was done that could be done. I am in an apartment, & snow removal is done in time for the tenants to leave for work in the morning & not have to push through an unplowed lot.

Avoid this place like the plague. My apartment had repairs required and for well over a month they were fully aware of the problems and did nothing about it because unbeknownst to everyone they were selling the building. They waited until the building was sold and then said the repairs werent their problem to save them money as the repairs would now have to be completed by the new landlord. These people are scammers and treat their tenants like trash. If you can avoid them you should.
