The landlord is two faced and is only after his own best interest.
Pros
The neighbors were friendly enough and looked out for one another.
Cons
The roaches were out of control. The sounds traveled through the walls a lot. The hot water took a while to start up. The noise travels through walls very easily. Things were left unfinished.
Advice to the owners
Keep your homes up to code. Take care of the huge pest problem. I understand managing a property is a lot of work and obviously you have to look out for yourself first, but learn to have a little compassion for people. Human beings aren't your play things for when it's convenient.
