The Bennington

Decent place to live but 80% of all our deliveries are stolen. Management has put in a Luxor package room but that doesn't prevent theft. They need to use the cameras to find the culprit. Everyone is tired of their packages being stolen.

My water in the kitchen and both bathrooms has black visible particles in it along with the color being gray. It's leaving a dirt ring in the bottom of the tube. I called the leasing office and I'm told that no one will come out until Monday. It's Saturday and what do I do about dishes and hygiene and drinking water?. I was told that maintenance doesn't work on the weekend and that it was my choice to use the water or not. She said it was safe to use because it was Bensenville water and that's… where everyone gets their water from. So does everyone in Bensenville have gray water with particles in it? A total lack of concern. Spend your money elsewhere. This place has gone down hill in service, upkeep,and priorities. Absurd rules and practices are put in place and that's not just my opinion, it's the opinion of all the tenants that I know here...along with friends and coworkers. I had a leak in my bedroom. The workers they hired left the water on and water came down the walls on to the carpet and in my closet. Some came after the water upstairs was turned off and I was told to let it finish leaking and dry. There was no follow up after that. There were no fans or anything to try and dry the carpet. There was no compensation for all the clothes I had to dry clean and wash. There was no offer to paint the stained walls. These are the type of things that you will have to look forward to after moving here. Read More

The place is not as nice as they make it out to be. Our windows mold in winter because of condensation. The hallways smell so bad and the Maitenence people are a joke.

I rented a one bedroom apartment for 9 months and that was too long already. When I moved in there were holes in the drywall and I was right above the main entrance so I would hear whenever someone entered or the left the building, all night long. One time walking barefoot in my apartment I stepped on a mouse and my neighbors also had mice in their apartments. Upon moving out, I did not hear anything from them, until 2 months later I received a call from a debt collector stating I owed the… Bennington $600 more. I was never notified and I could not even log into the resident portal after moving out. This place will give you headaches even after you move out. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
