Leopalace is both a rental management company and a construction company. They manage a huge slew of apartments which were not necessarily built by them - and most of those are of the regular rental (utilities not included, crappy old building, etc). The actual Leopalace built places are torn down and rebuilt every so many years - the others are not actually the property of Leopalace so all they do is manage the renting. Anything other than the most basic maintenance is the responsibility of the actual landlord.
So you have both Leopalace apartments and regular apartments rented through Leopalace. It`s not a matter of luck - you can easily tell which you`re going to get (their rental procedures are very different) and choose.
