Management company needs serious improvement - mishandling of several safety related concerns and their response was garbage. Had garden window kicked in during week of polar vortex and was a fight to get bars on the windows; they would not reimburse for astronomical heat bill due to us cranking the heat as a result of having a broken window...No reimbursement for when we had to live somewhere else because we couldn't keep the apt warm enough. Other issue -man on our back porch that cut a hole... through the window screen of bedroom window - no action taken by CLK Managment. They have us the runaround and lied to our neighbors about "having this under control." Took months to get even a light installed (we ended up buying one ourselves). Honestly avoid at all costs - beware. Disappointed with the experience and hope they start caring for their tenants' safety and wellbeing. Apt itself is decent quality, maintenance is relatively responsive. Lee mas

The rent is a little high; but in-unit laundry, dish washer, exposed brick, great location. sounds worth it. In Chicago it's kind of hard to find for a reasonable price, and we got 1 month free. A few months into living here, my new neighbor's dog starts barking all night. We have a dog too, so I was reasonable the first couple of nights and sleep in the living room, because the dog is probably just adjusting to the new home. NOPE. Dog barked all night and management did nothing after I... complained. A couple months into the barking, we get a notice that they are raising rent by 10% and my roommate and I had a good hardy chuckle and moved. I now get a full nights sleep :) Lee mas

It would take me forever to list out all the negative things that have happened to us at this place, so I will just say this. Do your research, all the reviews have the same themes.... they don't address resident concerns, they provide different information to different residents, I have felt seriously unsafe a number of times living here, they just installed cameras a few months ago after residents begged them, after not one but two cars had been set fire in the last year. This place is a... magnet for bad things happening, and it doesn't help that management has zero competence in addressing those bad things. Lee mas

They held a contest to have people write positive reviews on this site...7 months ago....This company is the worst. Everything you read below is true. They are the cheapest. All you have to do is look at the landscaping and the blinds in the windows. They don't take care of the property. Check out all the packages sitting in the mud at the gate. I have had multiple packages stolen because the company refuses to accept packages. This place is terrible. DO NOT RENT HERE!!!

I have never had so many issues with a management company! The number of maintenance issues I experienced, along with the horrible treatment by management staff were the main reasons I ended my lease early. I thought once I left, the stress of dealing with CLK would be over. I was wrong! Less than a week after leaving, I received a notification from the online company that CLK uses to allow residents to pay their rent online. This company informed me that CLK never deleted my account, but... instead added my sublet to my account, which gave them access to pay rent using my bank account and credit card that were on file. I had to reach out to CLK multiple times for them to give this company permission to cancel my account. CLK NEVER APOLOGIZED for giving another individual access to my banking information without my knowledge or consent. Instead, they blamed the outside company and denied refunding me the ridiculous $400 fee I had to pay to be dropped from the lease. Not refunding the fee is one thing, but to not offer an apology is terrible customer service. At the end of the day, CLK is responsible for the vendors they hire, yet they show no accountability for errors made that have serious consequences for their residents. I would hate to see this happen to someone else, so if you still live at CLK, do yourself a favor and stop using their online system. Lee mas
