JJ Land Company

I lived in one of JJ Land’s apartments for a little over two years and it was great. Maintenance was always on point and the people who run the office are always there to answer your questions. The price of rent was exactly what I had expected for the area. My apartment had parking and was safe. I would highly recommend. Easily the best company I have rented from in the Pittsburgh area.

See updates below for poor rating.nnJ.J. Land has been a great landlord to me. I've lived in my apartment for 3 years and each year they only increase my rent by $5 - $10. They're also quick to respond to maintenance issues, and the people that work in the office are very pleasant when I interact with them. I'd give them 5 stars if I didn't have so many issues with my heat. I've complained multiple times that it's not heating my apartment adequately and every time the maintenance man says it's working fine, or it's fixed, yet in the dead of winter I'm freezing. I wish they would just hire a heating professional to look at it. Otherwise I'm happy with their services, and my apartment.nnNew updatenIt's happened again. No heat for days on end. At night the temperatures have been dropping down in the 20's and 30's and my heat never turns on. I've called and told the rental company yet no one returns my calls and no maintenance person has shown up to look at the heater. I even explained that my mom recently had a hip replacement and she's recovering at my apartment. No response from the company. This rental company has gone down hill. They used to respond in a timely manner. Now they don't respond at all and seem to have no regard for their tennant's well being.nnNew update: I have been without electricity in half of my apartment for almost 2 days. After calling them twice I was told someone would be by today and they will try to make it a priority. It is 5 pm and still no electricity. I wish I could afford to move right now but Covid-19 has made things hard on all of us. They need to stop sending out form letters about helping their tenants in times of need if they have no intention of doing so. They get one star for giving me a shell to live in.

I have been staying at the Wightman Street apartment for 4.5 years, service has been good and prompt and management has been helpful with the lease during the COVID period. Have on site parking which is plus. Connectivity is great. Will certainly recommend.

Have lived at a JJ Land property in Shadyside / Bloomfield. Their location is prime. The apartment is well maintained with good facilities provided at an affordable rent. The maintenance team is prompt to attend to requests. In the office, Erik, Samantha & Danielle are super helpful as are other team members. The JJ Land team renders warm, friendly service professionally. Delighted to know JJ Land.

Rented from them mostly out of desperation, and quickly discovered that they are slumlords of the highest order. Properties are poorly maintained, and don't believe a word of their promises about '24-hour maintenance.' Like other tenants who have also left reviews, I had part of my ceiling collapse after heavy rain. This should, of course, not happen in the first place, and, like other reviews indicate, not a single person at the office seemed to care about getting the issue fixed. On top of this, I suspect rampant mold growth in the ceiling, indicative of a long history of shoddy maintenance. Other, smaller issues have also come up, and the company has failed to send anyone out, or provide updates, until I've called multiple times. I haven't even bothered asking them to fix non-critical issues (massive gaps in the doorways which have allowed wasps in on multiple occasions, windows falling apart and often lacking screens, awful hot water) because I know nothing would get done. Additionally, they have largely failed to respond to a tenant's council formed in light of the COVID pandemic.nnIt's obviously hard to avoid this company, since they own half of the rental properties in Pittsburgh, but do yourself a favor and try to steer clear.
