    Infested, Outdated, and Poorly Managed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Pros
    The only positive is the location it’s close to public transportation and shops.
    Cons:
    The building has roaches and mice. Appliances are old and barely work. Management is greedy, unresponsive, and more focused on raising rent than fixing serious issue
    Advice to owner:
    Advice to the property owner Invest in proper pest control, update the appliances, and start treating tenants with respect. Ignoring basic living conditions while constantly increasing rent is unacceptable.
