Review Summary for 829 Monroe Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

However, concerns include poor management, noisy surroundings, limited storage, and old building features. Inconsistencies in cleanliness, garbage management, and responsiveness from the owner have been noted. While some approve of the owner, others disapprove due to significant rent hikes during Covid.

the epitome of shit
Former Tenant
Pros:
Next to the train.
Cons:
The management is awful. Raised rents by 25-30% during Covid… no actual phone to call when needing help. Truly one of the worst building management’s I’ve ever experienced.
