After reading all the reviews here I had to put my two cents in as well. Parliament is HORRIBLE. If I could give this disgusting company a negative star, I would! Like others, I got some horrible leaks in my apartment after it rained. Its been two weeks and nobody has come to fix them despite the fact I call them EVERY day. EVERY day I speak to the same woman who assures me it will get fixed because its "in their budget this year". In their budget!? There are cracks all over the apartment, and the best part is that the leaks happened last year (the people I am subletting from finally told me this) and all they did was paint over it! The whole apartment is just a mess. Now, granted the supers are very nice people, but they can only fix small things like a leaking toliet, not a roof problem. I had read all these reviews about Parliament but my sublessors acted like they were amazing and fixed any problem they had over the past few years so I decided to dismiss all the negative reviews. Do not make the same mistake as me!!!
Pros: Looks nice on the outside, historic building
Cons: Horrible management, dirty not well-maintened apartments

I wanted to live alone in a one-bedroom apartment in Evanston that would be close to Northwestern and downtown but under $1500/month, so after looking at numerous apartments, came to decision to live at 1125 Davis. The apartment seemed clean and very spacious, the kitchen needed remodeling and I decided to go for it under the condition the kitchen gets updated. First of all, they promised they'll put in a dishwasher before I submitted an application, and I personally heard the main engineer saying the dishwasher will be there, only to be informed later on I could have it at $35/month (which was never mentioned before). I did get a new kitchen (once I was already in the apartment), but it was so poorly done I had 4 electric sockets, 1 for the stove, 1 for the fridge and 1 didn't work, the cupboards are falling apart, they left them dusty etc. The building itself was dirty and seemed in a bad condition, the laundry room is horrible... But wait for the best part. I received in April notification I should extend my (increased cost) lease (expiring end of August). I called them back in May saying I did want to stay there and asking for the documents again - they sent them in the first letter, I just didn't want to pay more. I moved out of state for the summer, just to get a "farewell" letter from them, informing me they have rented my apartment to someone else. Apparently, me calling and saying "I want to extend my lease" meant little to them. Luckily they had another one bedroom available and they offered it at a discounted price so apart from going through the hassle, I am getting a bigger place at a better location for slightly more $$. If I had to do business with them again? I wouldn't. In such a short notice, I could not find any other place to move into. And yeah, those leasing managers, assistants, whatevers, are extremely rude, and make you feel as if they're doing you a favor by letting you live in their apartments. I am soooooooooooo moving out next year.
Pros: location, price, size of the apartment
Cons: rude office staff, unprofessional management
