Landlords are criminal!
Former Tenant
Pros:
In-unit washer dryer
Cons:
Thin windows, roaches, and the heater doesn’t work for half the winter. When we complained about the apartment being 55 degrees in the winter (which is illegal), the landlord sent us fake noise complaints to try and force us to stop filing complaints.
Advice to owner:
Get better heating and better windows, stop extorting your tenants.
