Mice & The Invisible Landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, rent was never raised drastically year over year
Cons:
While the super was always difficult to hear back from and the management company never remembered anything and always had a different person answer the phone, it was worth it for the price until we had a mouse infestation. 6 months of trying to take care of pest control and we never once got the landlord directly on the phone. I believe he was invisible, they would always claim he’d call or use him as a threat but we’d never hear from him. All communication with the exterminator & responsibility for the situation was put on me and it was never resolved. We ended up giving a 60 day written notice we were leaving only to have them withhold our security deposit two months later claiming they didn’t know about a mouse and that we didn’t tell them we were leaving or return the keys. All lies. It was a complete mess and my worst rental experience of 5 years & 3 buildings in the city.
