  I rented from Thornton Properties and strongly recommend that you do not make the same mistake. I've lived in Chicago for many years and this was the most unprofessional, untrustworthy and volatile landlord I have ever personally experienced.
  
  The tenancy ended when I terminated the lease due to material non-compliance with the Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance. The exterior and interior walls were not maintained and not watertight. Better have the pots and pans ready when it rained. Stagnant water backed up from the waste lines and remained stagnant in the dishwasher.
  
  The tenancy commenced with me being informed by the then Property Manager informing me he was busy and would provide a key later that night as my moving van and movers were sitting outside the entrance. I was taken back that it seemed perfectly reasonable that I wait outside with my belongings for 9+ hours until it was convenient for him to provide the keys. Once I got into the unit, I discovered the windows and storm windows were locked shut on a 90 day. I was informed it would be $200 fee to "open the windows".
  
  There were numerous unprofessional shenanigans during the tenancy. A common tactic deployed by Thornton Properties was to tack on exorbitant and entirely unjustified fines to the rent due statement for contrived off the wall offenses. I demanded proof and none was ever provided. My attorney suggested this may be considered harassment and that I would be wise to log each contact.
  
  My exterior windows were never washed during my entire tenancy. The sidewalks and rear alley were never shoveled during a snow event. The hallway had water damage from the leaky exterior walls and roof. Package delivery was an issue because only USPS carriers had an exterior key.
  
  To top it all off, the heat was the tenant responsibility so my total outlay was not too different than if I simply rented from the nicer, far better maintained building across the street.
  
  I have photos, emails and logs I would be happy to share with anyone on the fence about renting.
