Staff

Meet the family!

Hello and welcome to Rent From Ben! We are proud to call the University Neighborhood the best part of the City of Syracuse, and we say this because Ben grew up here as a kid, lived here when he was an SU student, and has Rent From Ben headquarters right there on Euclid Ave.  Since Ben started his rental business in 1998, we have provided housing to over 14,000 SU and ESF students, and Ben looks forward to providing it for you too! 

Our staff is also rooted in the University Neighborhood and well versed in what students want. John heads up the maintenance section, along with Jeff and Roger. They have decades of combined experience in house repairs, remodeling, and carpentry. Anytime you need a repair, all you do is email John at repairs@rentfromben.com or shoot him a text at 315-727-8551.  John also is the owner of the local neighborhood Ace Hardware store at Nottingham Plaza, just a mile away from the neighborhood. All Rent from Ben tenants get 10% off any non-sale item purchase.  All you need to do is tell the cashier you are Ben’s tenant, and you save!

Tiffany, a former tenant and recent ESF graduate, assists with maintenance and also focuses on groundskeeping  and keeping common areas clean.  Tiffany also runs rental operations, and gives students tours of  our houses and apartments. Danielle is our student intern and she will be focusing on social media and special events. Elias grew up in the family business, and has returned from his work with horses in Kentucky to help us with all types of maintenance. You can expect to see Elias from time to time, taking out your trash, painting your houses, and keeping common areas clean.

 Ben and Naomi manage the office and admin functions, so if you have a question about rent or the lease, let them know. 

 In sum, SOME OF US BLEED ORANGE, AND SOME OF US BLEED ESF GREEN, BUT WE ALL LOVE THE ‘CUSE! 

We are the ONLY University landlord who has 24-7 maintenance staff who live right here in the University neighborhood. In part, this explains our excellent reputation for quick and timely repairs. Many of the other landlords you may be considering for housing live out of town and even out of state. If you have an emergency, or accidentally get locked out, we will literally be only seconds away.
