Management’s Lack of Care
Former Tenant
Pros:
The heat & water are usually not an issue.
Cons:
The pest control needs work, no matter how much I personally clean, I still see atleast 3 roaches in my apt a day. The garbage area in the back is awful, rat infested. And management doesn’t address concerns in a timely manner. Management doesn’t seem to care about tenants. Lots of disruptive music playing, even with the elderly and sick living there.
Advice to owner:
Why bother?
