I rent a parking space from MacKinnon Development Corp. The space is well-maintained (plowed regularly) and the cost is competitive (one of the cheaper ones in the Kingston area). The best thing about this group though is their exemplary service: they are quick to reply if I have any questions about the parking space, or to follow up on my requests (ie: I asked them to ice the lot once after a cold night and they were able to get to it the next morning). As well, recently there was an accident involving one of their snow plows and my vehicle; to respond, they were quick to get in touch with me and help me get a quote for my vehicle and remedy the situation by covering the costs. Accidents happen, and I really appreciate them being so quick to take charge and help make things right. They are a great team of people! 10/10 would recommend.
I rented with Mackinnon for a short time before a different rental management company took over my apartment this past month. Despite the change in landlords, I still got charged rent by Mackinnon (getting double charged in rent) and that money has not been returned. My apartment had been repainted by Mackinnon for when we moved in in September but since then the walls and baseboards have gone moldy in areas due to humidity issues and lack of ventilation. These seem to be quick fixes to ongoing problems. The apartment was not cleaned well before moving in. I found dog kibble in the kitchen cupboards, the cupboards were all very dirty inside, and the shower drain was clogged with hair. Besides these issues, they have been quick to respond over email, however, these problems have made me disappointed with my brief time with them.
Rented a parking spot with them and was there for a couple years. Then got given 6 days notice to terimate my parking spot without any reason why. Was told to give back parking tag and would receive money back asap. This was in November and still waiting for refund back and it is mid month in January. Was calling and emailing to get refund back and noone ever responded back to me. Finally, today when posted review is when I received the refund. Also parking lot was never salted in the winter and not properly kept clean. Will never rent from them again.
My experience have been relatively mixed with this company. On one hand they have very well-maintained and updated properties with great amenities and quick response to tenant needs. However, renting with them will set you back at least $1000/month which is very expensive for the units they offer. Additionally, the staff really pressured us to make a decision on renting their units partially threatening us and forcing us to make a quick decision on one of their rentals (it was quite an unpleasant experience)
I spent three years living in one of MacKinnon Dev's properties. Good location that was right beside campus. Management and employees are very respectful, neither me or my housemates had any issues with them during our lease of the property. I met Ewen on several occasions as he was quick to respond in the event that we needed him on the property. Certainly got the impression they were committed to delivering a good service. I would recommend them to any students looking for a good place to stay near campus.
I had tenancy with MacKinnon Development over the course of my studies. The unit provided me with more than I could have asked for, with a great view of Bath road, close to amenities and a short drive from campus. The staff at MDC was outstanding. As they work daily to provide essential information for their tenants and perform maintenance as required to the building. I strongly encourage tenancy with MDC, due to my pleasant experience during my stay at one of the buildings that they provide.
Ewen and Jessica were wonderful landlords and all-around kind-hearted individuals. They are responsive, approachable, and they truly care about their tenants. They also hire a team of friendly and hard working people! Any issues we had were dealt with promptly, and we really loved the unit we were living in. They provide a truly complete and comprehensive service and take a lot of the stress out of maintaining your home. We strongly recommend renting with them, if you have the chance!
I leased a parking space from Ewen and Jessica this past school year. The spot was well maintained with prompt snow removal throughout the winter months. When an issue arised regarding a parking ticket, they were quick to respond and were very helpful and pleasant to work with while resolving the error! Would definitely recommend MacKinnon Development Corporation to anyone looking to lease a parking space or student house!
I have lived in my home for 3 years now and with two of those years our place has been managed by MacKinnon. If ever I have had any issues arise, Jessica has always been quick and prompt with resonding to my emails. The staff they have are all wonderful - very kind and pleasant to work with. Also - our sidewalks are parking space are always clear of snow even before I wake up in the morning which is amazingl
I have rented with Mackinnon properties for the last two years and it has been nothing short of an impeccable experience. The owners are so kind and employ great people to get any repairs done in a timely fashion. They have made us feel very much as though we are at home, and as students from Queen’s, there is nothing more we could have asked for.
As a former tenant, I am pleased with both the wonderful apartment and the service provided by MacKinnon Developments. The cleaning personnel, landlords, and other staff were always quick to respond to our concerns whenever they arose. The apartment was above par for student housing and in a great location. Would highly recommend.
Jessica alongside the team at MacKinnon Development have been very helpful and cooperative throughout my room-mate and I's entire rental process. Even despite having had a couple hiccups (from our end), Jessica went out of her way to assist us throughout everything. Nothing but kind words for MacKinnon Development!
Very professional service. They always provided notice of entry and responded to emails in a timely fashion. Their maintenance man, Bryan, was exceptional -- super friendly and proficient. Overall, the property was kept in great condition and Mackinnon did their best to meets the needs of their tenants.
I wish there was at least a laundry washer in-suite in 1 bedroom unit. Because I was almost diagnosed with Covid, and have been staying in the unit for a week. Number of times, When I cook, the fire alarm went off ringing, because fire alarm is located in a awkward spot, end up hurting my ears.
I rented a monthly parking spot from the MacKinnon Development Corporation for just under a year. From start to finish the process was seamless. A very efficient and professional company; and very timely with all correspondence. I would %100 recommend if you are looking for a reputable company.
MacKinnon Development has been nothing but a positive experience for my roomate and myself. The open communication they establish from day one is first class. They are a very understanding, trustworthy and cooperative group to deal with in terms of renting student houses.
A lovely company to work with when finding student housing. The apartment was clean, in good condition, and close to campus and amenities. Jessica would get back to me fast and I found the experience of renting from MacKinnon to be great.
I have lived in a Mackinnon house for the past two years and it has been nothing short of a perfect experience. Very friendly owners, that really take care of their tennants. Highly recommend using them as your student housing landlords
Renting a property from MacKinnon was great experience. They were easy to work with, incredibly accommodating, and quick to respond to our inquires. To anyone in the future, I would recommend renting a property from MacKinnon.
i was having a hard time finding a decent place to rent from, until i came across Mackinnon. They responded and processed our application quickly. They respond to tenant needs and are flexible when doing so!
Provides good parking and housing for a reasonable price. Great customer service that responds in a timely fashion. Much more amicable than most other housing companies in the Kingston area.
Mackinnon provides excellent service. They are friendly, accommodating, and caring. They were consitently available to help us with any issues that arose. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Great service and they genuinely care about their tenants. They have gone above and beyond on several occasions to make the lives of the busy university students in their homes easier :)
Very high quality student rental! Landlords were very professional, responsive, reasonable and supportive and willing to answer any questions or finish any repairs immediately.
I have been a tenant of MacKinnon development for multiple years and have a very positive experience, they are always accommodating and helpful! Would recommend to anyone
Very friendly & great communication! They were able to accommodate parking rental quickly and responded to emails in a fast manner. Convenient location & fair price.
Pretty safe goto especially considering how so many student housing landlords in Kingston are snake slumlords, Mackinnon is pretty professional and cooperative.
My experience with this company has been quite wonderful. I have been renting my parking spot with them for over a year now and no issues. Thanks again guys!
Incredibly kind- Extremely helpful! They went out of there way to help us when it was far outside their responsibility. Big thanks to Camilla and the team!
Very easy people to work with when trying to rent. They work with the tenants needs as communicated & respond to maintenance upkeep in a timely manner
MacKinnon was great, love the included services! Paying for parking was a little expensive but other than that, I have no complaints.
Made my first experience living on my own very easy and problem free! Can't wait to stay at their property in the next school year.
The staff I have worked with at MacKinnon have all been very kind with quick service. Our unit has been well maintained as well.
Staff are some of the foulest, rudest people you will meet. Building is filthy outside of the rooms. Price went up as well.
Rent is on the pricey side, but you're paying for a professional service and a nice apartment that is well maintained.
This company has been great to work with. They are quick to reply, helpful and accommodating! I highly recommend them!
Very speedy responses if there is ever an issue in the unit. Very friendly and accomadating staff. Highly recommend.
Had nothing but great experiences with MacKinnon over the past 2 years. Cleaning staff was always beyond friendly.
Mackinnon has been attentive to the tenants' needs- whenever we needed something, they were quick to respond.
Clean and well maintained units, quick to respond for maintenance etc!
The cleaning, recycle, garbage, and shoveling services were great.
nice apt
