    Don’t rent here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighbors are lovely
    Cons:
    Apartment infested with cockroaches. Landlord did nothing. Mold everywhere. Windows leak. Landlord did nothing. The bathtub would periodically spurt brown sludge which would shoot out all over the apartment. Landlord did nothing. The water would turn brown. Landlord did nothing. The heat would turn off for ten days at a stretch. In the middle of the polar vortex. Wiring of the lamp in the kitchen would blow a lightbulb every week. It also shocked me when I would touch the light switch. Security is so bad that a patient of one of the shrinks in our building LIT HIS DOORMAT ON FIRE, nearly burning down the building. A few years later, that same person came in and stabbed my neighbor to death. The landlord is an awful human. He will try to steal your security deposit. He never gives them back. Luckily I was told this so just didn’t pay my last month of rent before I fled.
    Advice to owner:
    Do your job.
