Landlord will scream at you until you cry
Pros
It’s a beautiful building and apartment
Cons
The landlord has harassed us throughout the entirety of the lease. He has entered the apartment without us being there numerous times under the guise of “oh I just needed to check or do this thing.” When we signed the lease he shared numerous horror stories of experiences with previous tenants and even showed us a lease that had the name and social security number of the previous tenant on it who ended the lease early. There is no privacy in this apartment—you can always hear him yelling at his wife in the basement and he consistently comments on the way we live our lives, and makes unnecessary judgements on our character. He has told me numerous times that I remind him of his son who died from an overdose when he was my age—and that should tell you enough. He has no boundaries. He just makes stuff up and will gaslight you to no end. He is a vindictive, miserly, senile man and we walked on eggshells for the entirety of our lease. We might go to court.
Advice to the owners
I hope you experience a day of peace at least once for the remainder of your life. You won’t be able to do so if you keep renting out the parlor level of this apartment.
Landlord is a nightmare
Pros
Beautiful apartment. Spacious. Convenient, good light.
Cons
The landlord lives downstairs and will make your life a living nightmare. He will constantly harass, intimidate, and threaten you. He also abuses his poor wife so you will hear him constantly scream and berate her. He's just an overall awful human being. The apartment is pretty but after dealing with him you a cardboard box will make a better home. Avoid at all costs.
Advice to the owners
Stop abusing your tenants.
