    Horrible and a joke in my eyes. No consideration
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There are no pros that’s how bad it is.
    Cons:
    Super doesn’t know what he is talking about
    The landlord doesn’t care.
    The company Chestnut holdings is a joke.
    You call the Company/Landlord, nobody answers the phone.
    Advice to owner:
    Learn to communicate and fix the problems when your tenant reports things. Don’t wait two years to try and fix crucial problems. I would give you guys half a Star for rating overall.
