I’ve been renting apartment units from Peter Crawford for a few years now and it has been a smooth experience! He’s a very attentive landlord who promptly responds and addresses any issues I have with the property. Maintenance requests are always resolved in a timely manner, so I feel taken care of as a tenant – he has even upgraded some of the appliances (when needed) for me! I recommend him as a landlord as I am quite satisfied.

I have enjoyed my experience renting with peter. He takes care of any complaints or issues right always.

I had a great experience renting from Peter. The apartment was clean and spacious. He responded immediately to my maintenance requests and questions. I would recommend renting from him.

Peter Crawford is a disgusting slumlord that preys on the naivety of young college students. Do not rent from him if you ever know what’s good for you!

This guy is a slum lord racist that just wants to take money from college students. He sent a number of shady characters to “fix” things in our unit, the wiring was so wrong in our house that PG&E sent Crawford a letter and he still didn’t fix it. He’s terrible!

no dont do it

I am very happy with the service provided by Crawford Development

The house was hazardous.

When I first moved in there was still furniture in the place from the previous tenant and nothing was cleaned. When I had asked Peter why there was furniture left behind he had responded that the furniture was nice and the previous tenant didn't want to take the items so they were left behind. I was upset that I was not notified ahead of time or at least asked first if I wanted to keep the items. At the time I had just wanted to clean (there were spider webs everywhere!) and organize my furniture accordingly. It took a few days but Peter agreed to have people come pick up the items that were left behind that we did not want. Like every other row house in Philadelphia, we had a few mice but nothing crazy. About 2 years later, I got a roommate with a cat so all mice problems were pretty much solved after that. Before the first year of my lease was up, people had come to show the place; however, Peter had not asked me if I had wanted to renew nor was I notified that showings would even take place. A slightly aggravated email to Peter pretty much solved the issue. When I did have a change in roommates, Peter and I had made several verbal agreements; however, when I had asked for him to honor the agreement he had denied ever agreeing to such terms. Typical lawyer mentality...so take note! Make sure EVERYTHING is written. Living at the apartment for 3 years, things are bound to break. Getting someone out to the place to fix the problem would take a few days and on top of that, it wouldn't be properly resolved it the first time around; they would have to come back several times. It's like they didn't actually know what they were doing and kept on guessing until it magically worked properly. I found dealing with his partner (Dan) much more pleasant. I ended up subletting the place for the last 4 months of the lease. I had followed the proper protocols in notifying Peter and what not. The problem was these companies that came to show people the apartment wouldn't give enough notice and often times just showed up on the front door step. At one point they walked right in and my roommate was in her room getting ready for the day. Overall, communication isn't great, make sure everything is in writing and if you can avoid dealing with him, I would. It's really not worth all the effort.

Really enjoy living over there right now. Peter responds to all requests within 24 hours.
