    Bed bugs, roaches, human decomposition and lies.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment layout is nice.
    Cons:
    The landlord regularly breaks the law. For years they sprayed illegal substances instead of dealing with a roach and bedbug infestation. Nepo contractor babies without a basic understanding of the law expect you to pay rent for a unit that isn’t inhabitable. Will retaliate because they are so stupid.
    Advice to owner:
    Nothing. You shouldn’t own buildings so advice is pointless.
