Only cares about rent, doesn’t care about apartment conditions.
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is fine, working elevators, has good heat, i rarely have pest problems in my apartment
Cons:
Consistent leaks in my apartment, landlord will not fix leaks unless you withhold rent. I’ve had leaks and holes in my ceiling for months before they decided to fix and while that was happening i was constantly harassed to pay rent and when i asked about the leak fixtures they would go radio silent
Advice to owner:
if you want rent on time keep the building safe and efficient for tenants
