    Beware Terrible Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great Location, very spacious, very clean building
    Cons:
    Landlord would threaten us with tickets that weren’t ours and threaten us about having packages delivered, they would also lie about not having an email address to contact them and claimed they needed physical checks when our neighbors could pay electronically
