"I rented from Paul for one year in 2021. I never had any problems and he was easy to deal with. He returned my security deposit timely. I would rent from him again."

"Rented from this guy years ago. He's not even supposed to be renting to anyone because of a court case he lost for scamming poeple out of security deposit. Left a dead rabbit in the basement for weeks, wouldn't reload fire extinguishers, has a crazy lease. He kept telling stories about how POC should be shot. Steer clear, you will lose so much money"

"Don’t rent from this rude person! LOOK HIM UP ONLINE (-5 STARS) LISTEN UP PEOPLE!! This is not a good man! His name is Paul O'Conner, he says he doesn't own the company but he very well does. After showing up a property for rent that I found on craigslist for 760 on Wedgewood drive I knew things were off but I really liked the place so I applied. First off he is very odd and will have silly request to take off shoes and tell you why he turns on the lights. Things of this nature, he will talk down and ask you very dumb questions to make you feel stupid. After letting him know that my past due accounts were paid off and that my credit do not reflect that yet. (I provided documents for my payments) He said that he will look at my app and let me know. After calling him for the next serval days and not getting a response he let me know that he would be willing to rent me the apartment but with a $3100 deposit or 4 months of rent. I let him know that it was too much to ask and offered 3 months worth of rent as the deposit so roughly $2800 but that if he would only be willing to take the $3100 I understand and would pay him. After telling me that he will think about it and get back to me I had to end up calling him for three days leaving voicemails to get ahold of him. He let me know that the "landlord" himself did not approve this. SO then I said okay lets do the $3100 which to he rudely interrupted and told me "no no no the offer is no longer on the table". Paul will toy with you to make himself feel powerful. DO NOT GO SEE ANY OF HIS SEVERAL 4 FAMILY PROPERTIES IN WAUKESHA OR THE TWO HE OWNS IN MILWAUKEE"

"We were looking at renting a 3bedroom property on the east side back with a lease that would have begun September 2017. We were bewildered at how a 3bedroom in the condition and location it was was $1300/month with reports of the rent having been dropped to even lower than that. We set up a meeting to review the place, and everything was phenominal as anticipated, we were still amazed at how it could be such a low price. Thought the gentleman was helpful but at the same time putting a significant amount of effort into giving us the best impression of the place possible. Following the meeting I decided to google the gentleman's name to see his reviews as a landlord, and this was when my thoughts on the unit turned upside down. He also practices law, and has a history of scamming his tenants, adding additional fees, and putting killer clauses within his lease agreements validating his ability to charge extra fees at an excessive rate. Came to the understanding that in order to get an apartment to sell, he knocked the price down and hoped that would outweigh his negative publicity. At the time there were only a few poor reviews shown here on google maps, with many, many more by people that I found online. Two years later there are a large handful of poor reviews and by the looks of it the state of WI took him to court, and won the legal battle. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS GENTLEMAN!! I was so worked up over the information I found that two years after I called him to politely terminate my interest in the property, I still remember his name and was able to locate this page."

"Honest review: I can't believe I'm giving this place 3 stars but I am. My wife and I rented from this man for two and a half years. Not the worst experience I have had but close. Dealing with this man is literally the worst part of the whole thing. His demeanor and interactions with us were the worst. I can not even begin to tell you how awful they were. All that said, he did his job and did it fairly well. The apartments were clean and "well" maintained. He fixed what was broken and fixed it fast. He sends out a letter letting you know how awesome of a landlord he is for doing his job and how much expense he went through just for you. If you are responsible, pay rent on time, respect the property, and respect the man (the hardest one), I would recommend this place IF you know what you are getting in to. Here are a few tips to make sure you come out with a good experience. Call him quarterly to check up and make sure he has not tallied up any late fees or paper(10¢ a sheet) charges. Specifically ask for any fees you have accumulated and be polite and direct. Keep his property in good repair, if it breaks due to "normal wear and tear" he will fix it and pay for it. If it breaks because you were mistreating the property, he will probably charge you. If you are responsible for lawn or snow removal (or any other small easy task) as designated in your 150 page rental agreement, do it and check up to see if he fined you for not doing a good job. When moving out, clean the apartment as he explicitly tells you in the move out agreement. The products are inexpensive and work well, and if you don't he will charge you. You got the apartment clean, leave it clean. Pro tip: wear new white socks on the move in, save them in a save place with the lease, appliance user manuals, original keys, and any paperwork he gives or sends you, even the original dollar bill he gives with the lease. Also wear a second pair of new socks on your move out inspection. We did as I said above, our experience was good. We got all of our deposit back less our portion of the quarterly water bill. I hate talking bad about someone but it is worth saying again; dealing with this guy is the worst and will give most people ulcers. If you can handle dealing with toxic people, play by his rules, and are responsible, I would recommend this place."
