we won in housing court
Pros
Nature outside the back window
Cons
this building is in disarray. pest control rarely comes to spray and the landlord is irresponsible. I would not recommend this property to anyone.
Advice to the owners
don’t be a property owner.
Scumbags :)
Pros
The apartment was spacious and gorgeous for the area and the monthly rate. Friendly neighbors. Lovely community.
Cons
Rats in the lobby. Roaches. Human blood in the lobby. Pre-move in repairs ignored. Problematic windows not opening. Super will not make repairs. Management company has never meet the tenants and attempts to fix problems exclusively over the phone and provides bullshit excuses. I moved out of my apartment due to neglect of important repairs during a pandemic. Where we are supposed to stay home. Its awfully scummy of a landlord to allow this to go on for so long. Lots of unanswered questions.
Advice to the owners
Do better. Keep a log of tenants and their history. Get a better super or a better way of addressing maintenance issues. Provide a copy of the lease to the tenants. Give real instructions on who to contact when something needs addressed. Too many things were accepted as “fine” during normal time, but in the situation of the pandemic, your tenants who pay rent on time deserve to be heard and have requests attended to. There was also no options about how to ensure there was an acceptable living condition during the pandemic. The office phone number stated it was CLOSED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. EXCUSE ME. THIS MANAGER HAS MULTIPLE PROPERTIES WITH MULTIPLE TENANTS.
