    Scammy Landlord Uses Alias
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It has nice light. Good water pressure. Liked the hardwood floors.
    Cons:
    Landlord charged me extra on my first month (he prorated from date of signing, not when I received my keys). He’s using an alias to rent because he was previously convicted for harassing tenants and trying to illegally evict them. Harassed me, even though I paid my rent on time every month. Building has a roach problem that the landlord won’t do anything about. Packages are consistently stolen and there was no doorbell/buzzer to know when deliveries were downstairs. Nightmare of a building that was extremely overpriced.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop renting

    Not responsible owner
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Only like roommates, they were cool.
    Cons:
    The owner who initially ask for the deposit then went ahead and kept it without letting me know that it’s a not refundable. The place is trash if they don’t like you. They aren’t very trustworthy people.
    Advice to owner:
    Be a grown up and refund people who you cheat money deposit off.
