Slumlords (Beware! Do not rent!)
Pros
Near the train
Cons
These slumlords will increase your rent by 20 perc with no notice. They will try to get as much money they can from you, while renting a subpar apartment made out of cheap materials. They provide no heat either so during the winter your electricity bill is $400. Stay away!
Unresponsive Management with Poor Communication
Pros
Great natural light, no safety issues
Cons
Had mold and leaks for almost entirety of lease. Management would take months to respond to this and would never follow up or offer any sort of concession. 50/50 on if I would receive USPS mail but packages would come. Neighboring building often throws loud parties even on weeknights that go very late. Top temperature of water was lukewarm at best for first 6 months but then became normal. Windows have some small gaps which allows some ants to come in. Also the units are very overpriced for not having any laundry in building.
Advice to the owners
Be responsive to your tenants. Actually follow up when issues are reported and respond in a timely matter.
