"L&R is one of the best companies you could rent from in Binghamton. The owner cares more about keeping his tenants happy than any other landlord I’ve rented with. Extremely responsive, respectful and understanding. Willing to reason with tenants and work with them to make them happy. Goes above and beyond to help tenants consistently. Maintenance team is friendly and does good work. Rent is reasonably priced, properties are nice and are comfortable. Overall would recommend to any renter in the area, exceptional. "

"The maintenance team is really nice and is responsive to any requests. Maintenance handled any most problems with quality, and quick work, but there were a few larger issues (many from the aforementioned wear and tear) that took a long time to actually get fixed beyond a quick patch-up. Despite this, it was always a pleasure to work with the team. There are some fees and fluff on top of the listed rent but it was all disclosed in the lease. Communication with the landlord could sometimes be difficult if there were tough issues to address, but in fairness there were also plenty of times where he was understanding and worked with us. My experience with L&R was pretty good overall, though not perfect. As someone who rented with them 2024-2025 in a different property, I think they had a marked improvement from that experience. "

"I've been renting with Ben for two years now and he is super sweet and understanding. The ladies that work with him, (especially Lisa) are super nice and work very hard to keep living conditions great. I have only positive things to say about renting with him! The only negative is that utilities get super expensive especially in the colder months. "

"L&R Management was nothing but an amazing experience for my senior year housing! After a bad experience with a previous landlord and management last year, L&R showed us was it was truly like to live in a place that respected us as tenants! Ben was amazing and was always very quick and responsive to anything we needed! Lisa was so pleasant and always available as well! As for the apartment, it is clean, modern, and feels just like home. We are so thankful to have such a great experience during our senior year and are sad to go! "

"Ok experience "
Lease Duration: 2025-2026
"Lived here from 2024-2026. We stayed because Ben the landlord has always been very responsive. Lisa a member of the maintenance team has also been very friendly and makes sure repairs are done quickly. We appreciated the driveway and parking lot which was so useful on such a busy street. Only issue is that this is an old house so the gas bill is expensive in the winter. "

"Great property, good service "
Lease Duration: 2025-2026
"Overall, renting with L&R Management has been a good experience. Amenities like the parking lot, trash service, AC, and in-unit washer and dryer have all been great for quality of life. Lisa and the management team have been excellent, truly going above and beyond to ensure any and all maintenance issues that come up are addressed as quickly as possible. I appreciate all of the effort you put into your jobs! I have to dock a point though for the quality of the apartment upon move in, as the unit was not cleaned at all, requiring us to do a deep cleaning before we could unpack any of our things. Besides this, there have been relatively few issues over the course of our lease. "

"Best time living here for a year. Love the space very clean and modern, there is always parking, super quick repairs and maintenance, our landlord is fast with responding if there’s ever a concern and sends helpful reminders about the snow, heating/cooling, etc. would definitely live here again/lease again if I wasn’t graduating. "

"I rented with L&R for two years and never regretted it! The property was very clean and modern. The parking lot and trash service was an excellent addition. Whenever I needed a repair, workers came the next day to fix it and were very nice! They also were very accommodating and let me stay past the lease date to finish up school work. "

"I have rented with Ben for the past two years and will be signing for a third, which honestly says everything about my experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better landlord. He is incredibly kind, respectful, and genuinely cares about his tenants. Whenever we reach out, he responds quickly (usually within the hour) and never makes us feel like we’re a bother. If any issue comes up, he takes it seriously and gets it resolved either the same day or by the next day, which is something I’ve really appreciated. He’s also very fair and easy to communicate with, which makes a huge difference when renting. It’s clear that he takes pride in maintaining the property and making sure his tenants feel comfortable and supported. Also the property managers, Lisa and her crew are so amazing! Overall, renting with him has been a stress-free and positive experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive landlord! "

"extremely expensive utilities for bad quality "
I do empathize with this Tenant. Thank you for pointing this out. Since you moved out, we have changed the heating system in the building to make it more energy efficient.
Lease Duration: 2025-2026
"L&R has been a great place to rent at! They are very responsive and fix maintenance issues quickly (usually within a day or two or submitting a ticket). While we’ve never met Ben (landlord) he seems very nice over text. Lisa (property manager) is an absolute sweetheart and very helpful! The only complaint we have is with the heating and utilities. Because of the poor insulation, it takes a lot of electricity to heat our apartment and our monthly utility bill is higher than we were originally expecting. We were told it would be between $25-35 per month and it has been $50+ in the colder months. However, the rent is reasonable. I do think they are more cost effective options out there on the west side if that’s your main concern, but I’d still recommend L&R! "
Lease Duration: 2025-2026
"Landlord is very responsive and the space looks good. Since it’s an older building, the walls are pretty thin and there are heating issues which result in our electric and gas bill being really high in the winter. I’d recommend renting with utility bills included in the rent. "

"L&R is an amazing property - it is super clean, new, modern, and feels spacious. There is a balcony too! However, the thermostat doesn't work, and the walls are very thin. Privacy is limited as you can hear neighbors, housemates, etc. "
Lease Duration: 2024-2025
"At the end of the lease after move out, the landlord Ben had charged us for leaving behind items that WEREN'T ours (it was from the tenant before us) and "causing damages" that were already there when we moved in. He took money from our security deposits and never got back to us when we sent pictures of proof that the damages weren't from us and were there before we moved in. "
Lease Duration: 2025-2026
"If you are looking to rent here, I HIGHLY recommend. The LandLord is great, and does not disappoint. He is very helpful when called, and is a very kind person. I have absolutely no complaints and am very satisfied with living in my apartment. :) "

"I’ve had a positive experience renting from my current landlord. He’s been solid and straightforward to work with. He respects my privacy and never shows up unannounced. When it comes to maintenance, he’s reliable; he replies quickly to texts and gets repairs done without cutting corners. The rent is fair for the area, and he’s transparent about lease terms—no hidden fees or surprises. He treats tenants with respect and keeps the place in good shape. If you’re looking for a landlord who is professional and actually reasonable, I’d definitely recommend renting from him. "

"Walking in the place was nice and I thought the landlord would be too but this was not the case at all. After the lease ended they only gave back less than half the security because of damages that were there when we moved in and the place not cleaned even tho we had to deep clean upon move in. Good luck if you’re locked out because it’ll take over 12 hours for them to let you in and the landlord will tell you there’s nothing he can do and to not do it again. The heating is horrible and had to move out for a couple days while they wrapped the windows. If you’re not on the first floor you hear every footstep above you. People also will leave the front door open all the time. Wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to be scammed on your security deposit and have a rude landlord "
