"Apartment Manager" System Horrendous
Pros
- Beautiful wooden floors - Good location close to transportation and shops - Landlord answered all my phone calls - Good cost for size of rooms
Cons
- Landlord was out-of-state most of the time - "Apartment manager" (my roommate) had an agreement with the landlord where she worked as a sort of "mini landlord" and handled issues with the apartment, bills, etc. (controlling and making decisions without the input of the other tenants) - Dishwasher was never connected despite being there my whole 12 months there - Apartment has a history of pest infestations
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the "apartment manager" who has a history of making the other tenants' lives a living hell and get new people in the apartment. It's not responsible to shirk your duties and assign them to a resident instead.
