Terrible for College kids
If I could give this place zero stars I would. I wrote a review 4 years ago when my daughter lived here to attend NIU and it was bad then. Now 4 years later she has a ding on her credit report saying she owes $1,046 in damages! When they left Hunter Star 4 girls were living there. One of the girls had a puppy on the basement bedroom and was never home. The puppy destroyed the BASEMENT unit. The rest of the units were clean. Hunter Star had that girl sign an agreement stating she was responsible... for the damages. Now 4 years later they are holding two other the other girls liable. My daughter can’t rent a new place now because this is ruining her credit! They already kept their security deposit as well!! They do not care about the college kids. It’s all about money to them! They’ve thrown away the documents the girl signed and now my daughter and the other girl are suffering because of it. Do not let your college aged kids rent here!!

Hi Francesca. Unfortunately, as stated per our lease, it is a joint lease. The unit is a whole, tenants do not sign individual leases for rooms of a unit. The three tenants signed the joint lease stating they would all be held responsible as a whole... for any damages. Unfortunately, due to the fact there was an illegal animal in the apartment that caused the damages, the tenants were all held responsible for these damages. We do not, nor have we ever, created any documents stating only one person would be held responsible for damages due to our leasing agreement stating leases are joint. Since all the tenants were aware of the illegal animal in the unit, as those units are not pet friendly, they were held responsible for the damages in the basement regardless of whose animal it truly was. The balance on the account was due to what needed to be repaired. Based on the move-out conditions paperwork we have on file, only one of the tenants signed off on it during their move-out, indicating only one tenant was present for the move-out inspection, or all tenants would've signed they were present. In this case, based on what has been told to us, if everyone would've been here the day of their move-out to sign an alleged form that only one person would be held responsible, we would've had to completely create that documentation as we have no such paperwork, and all of the tenants would've signed the move-out conditions sheet stating all the damages that were found in the unit. Based on this, what we are being told does not add up. We apologize that you feel so strongly about this, but the illegal animal in the unit was the prime cause of the damages, and due to it being a joint lease, everyone was held responsible for all the repairs that needed to be done.
