Worst management experience I've had in 10 years of renting

Pros

the neightborhood is AMAZING and my neighbors in the buliding are lovely.

Cons

the management is unresponsive and then when they do respond, they don't communicate needed information. Whenever I raise an issue, they either don't tell me when they will send someone (so therefore I can't arrange to ensure i'm home) or they don't respond to my email/call at all. Sometimes, when they have said they would come, they then don't as well.

Advice to the owners

Work on your communicativeness.
