Halfpenny Management

I lived in one of their apartment complexes for 2 years. It’s only after I moved out that I realized how rare they are. Anne, the property manager, was fair and responsive. Inevitable issues with the apartment (it was an old building) were addressed quickly. Anne worked with me the whole time — upon move in (I’d just moved to the area so didn’t have a secure job history in the area), during my time there, and when I moved out (I’d just renewed the lease then decided to buy a home– they let me out of the lease without charging me the crazy fees to end it early). I’m renting in the city now and I really miss having a property manager who is understanding and fair. I was treated like a human being here while most other places I’ve rented are super uncaring and either ignore you completely or only respond to your concerns with lies and hostility.

My fiancé and I lived in an HP location on Montgomery Avenue in Ardmore. Could not ask for a better location — walkable to the train, suburban square, food stores, bars, gym, restaurants, etc. Neighbors were very respectful and friendly and the building was extremely quiet. The building and its appliances/​design are a bit outdated but we knew that going in and everything worked perfectly or was quickly fixed by maintenance upon request. For the price and location this was a great value and everyone we spoke with at HP was very friendly, professional, and treated us very fairly as tenants.

Dealt either very friendly and great service

Incredibly helpful management office. Liver here for 4+ years and never had a problem. Maintenance was always quick to respond to requests and overall was very accommodating.

Don’t bother asking them to take care of a mouse problem. They’ll drop off some glue traps, the rest is up to you. That should really tell you something about how much they care about their buildings.
In fact, don’t bother requesting anything. You’ll be completely ignored. The following is a list of things requested or promised to be fixed within the week of us moving IN:
* intercom (hasn’t worked for over a year)
* back steps (4 cinderblocks stacked on top of each other)
* garbage area (a complete mess with garbage everywhere, cracked cement, etc.)
* mice
* hallway door (slams HARD. Will wake you anytime someone goes through it in the morning)
* parking lot (another mess that is cracked and torn up)
They’ll give you no notice of closing the parking lot to do construction. Enjoy your $ 20 ticket.
These guys care about 1 thing only: cash. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

These folks are very cold and un-​understanding. They much will lie to your face. My father was a tenet of one of the properties they manage and when he passed away they told us we had 30 days to remove his belongings and not to worry about the rent. He died on the 30^th of May and They billed us for June! Not only did they bill me they added late fees. So be aware anyone dealing with them that you need to get any agreement from them in writing they certainly don’t have your best interest in mind.
