I don’t recommend renting from this company. We have been involved in a lawsuit with Boxer Property for over 2 years (2018-2020) regarding the conditions in our suite. Prior to the lawsuit, we repeatedly notified them that they were in breach of contract and the HVAC needed to be fixed from 2016 to 2018 because the temperature extremes in the suite. Our lease explicitly states a required temperature range for our servers, this was a clause they added to the lease when we asked them to define "reasonable range" in their standard lease. They did not comply with those terms that we can prove using temperature sensors that they installed in our suite.
They are in denial that there is a problem even though we have hundreds of thousands of temperature measurements over the last 2 years proving there is a problem. The temperature range in the summer is usually 78-85°F and when it is cold outside it will be between 60-68 degrees. It is highly dependent on whether it is a sunny day outside because the sun on the east side of the building significantly influences the temperature in the suite. Both hot and cold air are being blown into the suite at the same time depending on the HVAC zone. So, if you like temperature extremes in your office, rent the suite. Otherwise never rent from Boxer.
John Rentz at Boxer Property thinks Boxer Property polices supersede DEA regulations. We have had an unlawful entry in our suite at Boxer Property and when we asked why, we were told by Jo and John at Boxer Property that it didn’t concern us. Because we store controlled medications in our suite, anyone entering our suite must have a local, state, and federal background check along with approval by the prescribing physician to have access to our suite. We have had to get our in-house legal team involved to handle John Rentz and Boxer Property. Business owners nationwide, BEWARE OF BOXER PROPERTY. You have tons of options in terms of properties to lease from. Protect your business from people like John Rentz and Boxer Property.
Imagine trying to take your business to the next level and you find reasonable office space in Downtown Atlanta. It's near transit and close to everything one needs. You fall in love with the property and immediately move in.
As you move in, you see that restrooms are not always kept clean, you have questionable tenants who are in the buildign with you, missing security guards, non-responsive property management and a high school environment for an office park.
First, the security guards could careless. They make s* wages so I get it but you are sitting on your a*s on the internet most of your shift and make rounds. When they do make rounds, the guards like to walk into your offices unannounced and disrupt meetings. I worked with building security in the past and they knock on the door saying 'security check', not these guys. When you have guests needing to get into the building, they are too busy chit chatting with their newfound friends who have offices in the building and also one of them was trying to get his demo CD promoted. If you call the desk, they never answer the phone and they treat your guests like crap.
Secondly, you have some questionable tenants in the building who bring ghetto guests in there. I am talking about loud talkers, small dogs, children during business hours, crying babies, people who argue with each other in the common areas, people who knock on your door trying to solicit themselves since they are 'visiting' the building and so on. While I usually ignore what other tenants do until it becomes a problem with my business. I had too many door knocks from people trying to find the 'questionable tenants' as these folks didn't believe in putting up signs on their doors. One woman walks around the building barefoot to places like the breakroom, restroom, elevators and more. Another tenant likes to think the entire floor is his and has guests all over the place.
Furthermore, janitorial is a joke for the lower paying tenants. We rarely got our trash emptied and floors vaccumed but security always seemed to want to put up in the offices butting in. We asked the janitorial staff when we were going to get service and they told us 'we weren't on the list' despite our lease saying we get serviced by default (not optional). Because of the lack of service, many tenants found themselves using common area trash cans as their own due to this. Which lead to messy hallways and common areas as those trash cans were small. Mind, you this building is 17 stories tall.
Then, if you complain too much, management just cancels your lease instead of responding. You get 30 days to vacate the property. You think the nightmare is over but then they attempt to sue you for the remainder of the lease payments (after they cancel your lease). You have some arrogant 'in-house but we are contractors' wannabe collection agency calling you saying things like 'you can't be a deadbeat, you gotta pay up or else'. Then, they like to overtalk you so just hang up.
Avoid any property managed by Boxer Property. I had colleagues at other properties who had similar issues. They just want your money and if you cause too much trouble (making them do their jobs), you get asked to leave.
Don't have the headaches I have. Learn from MY mistakes!
