Former tenant·Over 3 years ago
AWFUL experience
Pros
Duplex. Plenty of room.
Cons
Promises made: -private outdoor space -landlord out of state Promises kept: NONE Details: Listing claimed private outdoor space. Didn’t mention that landlord used it as a walk-through to get down to the basement for him and everyone that worked for him, at any time. When I complained about this I was ignored repeatedly. Landlord also claimed that he ‘rarely’ came to the property, when in fact he used the office on the second floor as an apartment. He entertained guests and played loud (terrible) music.
Advice to the owners
Find a competent property management company to oversee your building and to communicate with your tenants. You are woefully ill-equipped to do either of these things yourself.
