these are the names to avoid in pittsburgh. it's really quite sad, but they're building an extremely negative reputation with everyone who does business with them.

I went to look at an apartment on Mervin Ave in Dormont yesterday...and holy crap. It was a complete disgusting mess. The paint was chipping everywhere, it was extremely dusty in the hallways, there... Read More

We have been living at Negley for about 4 months now and have not had much of a problem with this company. The only issue we have run into is that they tend to... Read More
Don't believe a word of the good posts on here - it is all the office people from JLB/Trends entering the comments because they suck so much - look at the posts on their... Read More
i agree, it's pretty obvious that any good reviews were written by jason, meredith, whoever else. this place was the worst slum i've ever lived in (i lived at 331 McKee but i assume... Read More
Jason left a very dangerous situation when he was hired to fix my furnace. Well, he was actually paid to fix it 3 times and he still couldn't get it right. Basically the auto... Read More

Using the shooter's name from VA Tech to try and make what i'm assuming you thought was a 'funny' point ended up just plain classless.

It is so obvious that any good review about this place, it's workers or staff, it's management or it's owners are posted by the owners themselves trying to defend the slums they rent and... Read More
You know, I'm reading all these bad reports, and its just rage after rage against this company from the same person. Seek help sir before you pull a Cho! I've been with... Read More
I have called three time on their "24 hour" line and all that happens is that someone CONNECTS ME TO VOICEMAIL or takes a note that someone will call me, but it has been... Read More
The reason JLB is going under different names is because they know they have a horrible reputation. The health dept. can't stand them, the Mt. Lebanon municipal workers can't stand them, and the tenants... Read More
Ever since they got that new Jim and Eugene guy working for them they have been on time and the work has been professional. They sure have gone thru some people who didnt perform... Read More

"I pay my rent late and they charge me a late fee," "I get locked out and they charge me a $50.00 lock out fee." Oh these evil theives...."They are rude to me on... Read More
I use to rent from JLB/ELROD in 04 and I have to admit it wasnt a very smooth relationship, they use to take a bit long with things. But I came back in 2006... Read More
Everyone be sure to write new reviews of "Trends", I'm curious to see if anything has changed.

Its so obvious that the only good reviews, like the one posted about Jason letting the tenant back in the apartment at 2AM, are all written by people in his office. First off, while... Read More

I've gone without heat 99% of the cold days for the past 2 years, they change your lease for kicks, they don't have an emergency number, and Jason Cohen is a worthless piece. They... Read More

The only reason Jason came to let you in is because he's money-hungry. They charge a $50 entrance fee. A landlord coming to let you in and charging you is not a good enough... Read More
I must say, I disagree with what people are writing about Jason and all of JLB. I've been living here for 3 years in a property of theirs in Mt. Lebanon. They clean... Read More
I too have had similar experiences renting from these people... I suggest that for those of you who have had these experiences to fill out complaints with the Better Business Bureau... ... Read More
I am lucky I didn't sign the lease. I looked at the apartment with Meredith back in August and that day applied for the apartment and put down a holding fee (one months... Read More
How the owners of JLB are not in jail is a poor reflection of our society....

WOW! I think everyone here has covered just about every possible thing I could... Read More

Today the fire alarm went off, but not because we had a fire. No just because the wiring in this house is bad. The second time that this happens. The fire department came and... Read More

First off, we live at 430 Atwood Street in Oakland, and i have to agree with all of the other posts about this company. We know them as Elrod investments LLC, but the Cohen... Read More

Not one bad experience yet. I have been renting from them for 3 years in Mt. Lebanon. And although initially it may have taken them some time to get the property under control... Read More
I have taken JLB Investments to court over a settlement that dealt with the security deposit and I won. However, being the great landlord that Jason Cohen is, he never paid up and... Read More
After reading all the reviews, I had to put something to these guy's defense. All the bashing other people have done here seems rediculous. These guys are not that bad at all. Its a... Read More
Let's see...

These two care nothing about their apartments. I suggest no one ever rent from these two because they don't do a thing. Their properties are falling apart,... Read More

They took a chunk out of our security deposit. In line with other comments posted here, they did not fix anything, could not even fix the heat, sent notices of eviction requesting late fees... Read More
Repeatedly send out late notices, even when you send rent on-time. Buildings are not maintained, nor will they fix anything. Do not maintain heat in the Winter. DO NOT RENT FROM... Read More
THIS LANDLORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH RULES: SHOWING APARTMENT TO NEW TENNANTS, RENT, FEES, ETC. HE CARRIES A REAL HARSH ATTITUDE.
1. They do not respond to maintence calls 2. They do not fix anything inside or outside of the building. 3. They request late payment fees from tenants who pay their rent... Read More
