Cute apartment but management is horrible
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice modern apartment close to train stations in great location in ues
Cons:
Management horrible. They are very rude. Took 3 months security deposit from me because I was foreign at the time I didn’t know that was illegal. For breaking the lease and finding a new tenant at no loss to them they charged me 2 month rent as a fee. The heating is out of control and can’t control.
Advice to owner:
Be kinder to the tenants and more understanding or bad situations.
