The landlord is fine

Pros:
The landlord follows the law, no more no less. Property manager is pretty responsive when there's issues. Good water pressure and the hot water is really hot.
Cons:
The landlord will raise the rent to the maximal allowed. (Building is covered by good cause eviction bill)
The washer/dryers SUCK. They make my clothes dirtier.
Advice to owner:
Get new washer/dryers
