    Landlord obsessed w/his building.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Area was decent.
    Cons:
    Cold (I insulate the windows during the winter), concrete steps, owner hardly swept outside and never cleaned the hallways. Moses Cowan was weird and acted like an obsessed boyfriend. Worried about the one male who visited me regularly. Called cops on me because I installed WiFi during Covid 2020.
    Advice to owner:
    Document EVERYTHING. I am keeping emails, notifications, and old text (I do not communicate via cellphone since he called the cops on me). He set a court date with myself, and other tenants that moved out due to his harassment. No other tenants are in the building with me. BEWARE AND DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Save pictures and all correspondence.
