Trying to stay in my home but...
Former Tenant
Pros:
The neighborhood is a nice one to live.
Cons:
Rent being raised above the legal limit. The random people who are renting air bnb in the building. It creates an environment of unsafety. I know that some 'tenants' rent their apartments out for visits. But the landlord themselves, but on a number pad on one of the apartments to generate income.
The mailbox has been broke since I moved in. Rather than fix it, management made the matters worst by putting on combination locks on two of the mailboxes without USPS permission. It is federal property!!! Although they received notice 6/28/22 and came by the building, nothing has changed.
When the garbage is excessive outside, you will see many rats running around.

Advice to owner:
None because the only thing they hear is money unfortunately.
