Dear Mr. Lehrer and Mr. Magid, I just wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday season, and to say thank you for all that you do to make living at 1214 Chapel St. so nice! I really appreciate all your hard work and time you spend making sure everything is perfect around the building and in my apartment. (I love my apartment - I will be so sad when the time comes for me to move away!).

If you’re looking for the best landlord in New Haven, look no further than Arnie. He offers a stellar combination of great apartments, superior service, and a genuine interest in his tenants. You will feel part of a community by living in one of his units and are unlikely to regret your decision.

"It is has been said that Arnie is the best landlord in New Haven. I definitely agree. He is responsive, keeps the building well-maintained, and treats everyone with a high level of respect and courtesy. He set such an inspiring example that I am considering becoming a landlord myself back home after graduation. If you are moving to New Haven I recommend that you seriously consider living in one of Arnie’s buildings."

"Long before you ever see the beautiful well-kept apartments of Haddon Hall, you will have heard the rumor. Whispered among the initiated, passed along as precious lore for a very few lucky students each year, one name stands out -- 'Arnie!' they cry 'Arnie Lehrer -- simply the best landlord in all New Haven"

Best landlord I ever had, period. Kind, helpful, responsible, friendly. Would recommend to anyone who wants to take a little of life's everyday stresses out of graduate school."

My fiance and I rented a one-bedroom from Arnie for two years while he was at Yale SOM. I have to say, after having lived in Boston and New York City, Arnie and his management team were a breath of fresh air. They were not only incredibly friendly and accommodating to whatever we needed, but were organized and were able to establish a sense of home in an otherwise temporary apartment. If anything ever needed fixing (which it rarely did), a quick phone call was dialed and someone was at the apartment within minutes. The common areas of the apartment (staircase, front entryway, laundry room & storage) were always impeccably clean. Arnie even offered to drive us home from the grocery store one afternoon! He truly does care about his tenants and it shows. I would recommend his apartments to anyone. Thanks Arnie!

"When you're stranded at a New Haven airport because they don't have a cashier for $ exchange, the last person you expect to surprise you there is your new landlord! He made the transition SO MUCH easier. Best landlord of my life by far!"

"1214 Chapel has been a real pleasure to live at.  Arnie and his staff keep the building and apartments in terrific shape and are fully devoted to their tenants.  They are in the building everyday, whether just for a friendly hello or to jump on any issues.  When school or life get a little crazy, it's invaluable to have the comfort of coming back to a building like 1214 Chapel.  It's a great place to spend your time in New Haven."

"Arnold Lehrer has been a terrific landlord-always willing to take care of any problems, extremely attentive to tenants, and, just an exceptionally amiable person"
