Bad Management from University
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet, clean, nice bedrooms
Nice super
Cons:
Kitchen can pretty much only fit 1 person
“Living room” is laughable, it’s 2 chairs facing a wall
Heating bangs in the winter, you may have to turn it off if you want to sleep
The biggest problem is that it’s managed by the university. They’re an incompetent owner who will try to evict whoever they want whenever they want. Beware
Advice to owner:
Try to respect your tenants
