Tuli Realty - Livingston, New Jersey

I lived in one of their building for over a year, and while the super, Brazil, was always helpful and understanding, the management left a lot to be desired. For some maintenance issues management simply refused to pay for necessary repairs—and I even spotted a mouse once. In all my years of renting, I’ve never encountered a management team this unresponsive and difficult to deal with.

A key point for future tenants: read your lease carefully. After the initial one-year term, the lease renews month-to-month (as is common under New Jersey law). However, when I decided to move out after a year and a half, management demanded I keep paying rent for the remainder of the year and threatened to withhold my security deposit. Despite giving multiple notices—both verbally to the super and in writing two months prior to my departure—management tried to intimidate me with emails insisting I owed more money.

I made it clear I’d file a claim in small-claims court if they didn’t return my deposit within 14 days and sue them for double amount. I fully cleaned the apartment and took pictures and documented the formal notices I had sent to them. They finally sent the deposit within a week. This experience showed me they rely on bullying tactics to discourage tenants from taking back their deposit.

TOTAL SCAM! BEWARE! Would give them 0 stars. They were happy to take my money to apply for an apartment. They offered me a lease to review online. I asked my contact, Mike a few questions about the lease agreement that seemed a bit unusual, and the next thing I know, they canceled my login to review and sign the lease. I called and left messages, sent a few texts to find out what happened but they never responded. No explanation at all. No refund for the application. I was completely ghosted by a real estate management company. Not a professional way to do business.

I’d give this company 0 stars if I could. I’ve kept it respectful since day one. We’ve had state inspectors come here many times. They’re yet to fix or correct anything. Have to press the supervisors to fix stuff because they’ll forget if we don’t. If you’re an original tenant from before they bought your building they’ll threaten to fine you for any little thing they notice while coming to unclog or small repairs like a pipe leak. Company has threatened to kick out a tenant who’s spent 30+ years of her life living here. She’s not adapted to technology and is currently disputing her rent money with western union. Office is not being reasonable or even providing any sense of humanity. Noticed every new tenant is not threatened with fines or bothered one bit. I’ve lived in my apartment for decades and I no longer feel like I’m at home. They’ll fine you or throw you into the street if they get a chance to. If you’re an older client from before they took over expect a required visit to your local mayor because these people won’t do anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if I become a target after putting this review here. If you associate yourself with Tuli I wish you luck and I hope you get the right people assigned to your building who actually care about customer service instead of throwing you under a bus. They’re here to make their profit and call it a day. Their renovations in my opinion is to attract better clients who are willing to pay overpriced amounts for a small apartment.

This company is horrible they advertise for apartments and let you book tours and then cancel your appointment with no notice I am commuting from another state and they are a complete waste of time and highly unprofessional they come off as scammers and I hope they get reported for the horrible business they give to customers. They don't even deserve the one star.

UPSETTING! I've been a resident at The Hamilton for 10 years, and have always paid my rent on the first of every month. Never once has there ever been an issue with me paying on time, in full.
This month, I noticed they processed my rent twice and deducted double rent from my bank account. When I called the main office to correct, I was told it was an error on my part (not true!) and worst of all, they won't credit back the extra month to my bank account. I will have a credit for next month. Pretty crooked behavior on management's part! It's this type of behavior as to why they have poor reviews.

Where do I begin? Surprised they are still in business given how awful they treat their tenants. Just go look at some of the other reviews and you will understand. Someone ought to file a complaint with the state department and BBB because their lack of care, integrity and greed is everything that is wrong with modern real estate companies.

Worst management ever. They own The Rebeka 5800 (5800 Washington St, West New York), and the entire building is infested with cockroaches. They do monthly exterminations, but it’s useless because all the units are connected through gaps around the water pipes and the range hood ducts. The roaches just move from one unit to another or hide in the walls. I’ve told them multiple times that the only real solution is to seal those gaps, but they do nothing.

If you live there, you’ll see roaches every day—in your cabinets, kitchen island, living room drawers, and all over the kitchen and bathroom floors.

On top of that, they hide the bug problem when showing apartments to new tenants, which is illegal. I’m pretty sure tenants have the right to break their lease because of it.

WORST MANAGEMENT EVER!

Never Never Never move in to their
building and don’t trust their realtors as well.

Tuli Realty management is the worst management I have ever seen or should I say I have never seen or spoken to anyone on their management side because they never pick up their calls or respond to their emails.
I moved to the 1 62nd St WNY bulding April 2024 and the elevator in the building doesn’t work.
When I came to check the place out the elevator wasn’t working and the realtor Mayra I thought was a genuinely good person lied to me saying it’s a scheduled maintenance and it will work in a day. On the day of my lease start date after I have paid all my deposit and 2 rents, I find out that elevator has not worked in last 4 months and the person who was giving me keys didn’t say anything of when it will ever work again.
I moved into the building as I had no other option, the elevator didn’t work from April to August 2024.
One day it was working and I thought it’s all
Good now, but it stopped working again in 10 days and now no one picks phone, replies to email or have even sent any communication of what’s wrong and when can we expect it to work again.
At least be human and think of people’s health issues of how they are managing walking up and down the stairs for 4-5 floors. How to do laundry, how do bring any belongings up and down the stairs with their knees issues and back issues.
Send more relevant texts and emails than asking tenants to sign up for exterminations.

WORST MANAGEMENT EVER!

#Update: the building has no security. The main door stays open most of the times and doesn’t close properly. There is a side door of the trash room which is always open and anyone can come and go from there. The packages delivered at the mailbox are constantly stolen. Not just mine, there is constantly people posting messages to stop stealing packages. My packages are mostly opened and left open which shows intent to steal, and so many times have just been stolen and there is no accountability.
