Landlord from Hell
Pros
The location was great, and the unit was very large.
Cons
The landlord was always slow to respond to reported issues and did the bare minimum to resolve them. He failed to disclose a persistent problem with bed bugs in the building to current and prospective tenants. The listing said that the building allowed pets, but he refused to allow my roommate to get a dog. I moved out over a month ago, and he still hasn't returned the security deposit.
Advice to the owners
If you're not willing to take on the responsibilities of being a landlord, find another occupation.
