YOU WILL REGRET IT. LEASE HAS 10 YR NDA= THEY SUE YOU, IF YOU DISCUSS RENT
Former Tenant
Pros:
Heat is decent in winter but too hot in the summer even with AC, poor insulation
Cons:
Cons:
Lease states: “Non-Disclosure of Rent and Lease Renewal Terms: The "Tenant agrees not to disclose, discuss, or share any information related to their own rent, lease renewal terms, or any observed or inferred information regarding other tenants' rental agreements with any third party, including other tenants. This confidentiality is intended to preserve leasing fairness and privacy. A breach of this clause may result in lease termination and legal action for damages or injunctive relief. This obligation remains in effect throughout the tenancy, including any renewal periods, and continues ten (10) years after lease termination.”
The landlord is abusive and greedy. After a year he will jack up your rent an incredible amount above what is reasonable and is counting on the fact that it expensive and inconvenient to move to keep you there at an crazy high rent. He will be rude and nasty if you tell him it is an unreasonable increase. He will claim it is market rate increase, but it is not and he knows it. Have seen him do this to several other nice people who had lived in the building, that's why there is constant turn over in tenants. They just refuse to pay an unreasonable increase and then he has to lower the rent to what it should have been all along to attract new tenants, just to repeat the process all over again with the new tenants by raising their rent crazy amounts after their first year, forcing them out.
Don't waste your time. Find a building that has reasonable rent increases so you are not forced out before you are ready to leave.
Appliances constantly break and never fixed.
There are frequently shady characters partying and passed out on building stoop and you have to step over them in the dark to get home, being scared to enter your own building and come back to your broken dishwasher and washing machine and you get to pay over 3K a month for this BS.
