on balance, radtastic
On balance, Common is a pretty rad company to rent from. 5/5
Pros: flexibility with the payments, cleanliness in Common areas, integration of digital and physical, membership rules for safety/comfort/community. Cons: digital presence mostly. Suggestion for improvement: on-site security and key/entry assistance because lockouts are a serious pain point that could always use improvement, tho it's impressive how well they handle this with open communication multi- channels.Review from Apartments.com
