Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good tenants, terrible landlord

Pros

Lots of natural light, no pests, quiet neighborhood, nice tenants, close to JMZ train and supermarkets

Cons

Landlord is unresponsive, shady, and only cares about himself. Did not do anything after a sexual harassment complaint about workers fixing the illegal heating. Took 6 weeks to get security deposit back.
