Complaint Review: L. B. Andersen Co.

L. B. Andersen Co. is a realtor in the suburbs of Chicago. I rented an office from them in Forum Square on Milwaukee Ave. in Libertyville, IL and was fairly happy with the service. Upon deciding to terminate the lease I was forewarned that they would not return my security deposit but unfortunately I did not take heed.

I spent a lot of effort cleaning and getting it in ship shape. My agent Mike North told me on his walk through it looked "very nice". I spackled every hole and every light worked. Yet they did not return my deposit and no one knows why, and they have no intention to.

I asked my neighbors Brain Storm Media if they got the deposit back when they left a couple of months earlier and one of the principals reported they were also ripped off.

If you decide to rent from L. B. Andersen Co. I would strongly suggest you do not pay your last month's rent since they have a history of keeping your security deposit.
