Landlords are criminally negligent
Pros
Having such terrible landlords fostered a strong sense of community
Cons
Landlords refused to do any work unless threatened with non payment of rent. The heat died in the winter and they cut corners fixing it so that it would only be on a few hours a day, it was often 40-50 degrees indoors. We had to stop paying rent to get them to replace a broken boiler. Currently the intercom has been broken, and front door has not locked for 2 months. They have a class action lawsuit against them for not paying workers. The security deposits they mailed to previous tenants bounced, and the tenants had to take them to small claims court.
