Landlord tried to steal my deposit
Pros
building was decent but needed updates and improvements, better pest control, etc.
Cons
The landlord Simcha is difficult and unreasonable. He's bad at communicating and will pester tenants at odd hours, will choose to only communicate with certain tenants on a lease and ignore others, bad at issuing leases/paperwork in a timely manner, and tried to cheat me out of my security deposit. After my lease expired and I moved out he tried to claim we still had an active lease and that I owed him money for that month so he was going to keep the deposit. Insanity. I did everything by the book and had moved out weeks before. He was impossible to reason with and his excuses kept changing. A month later I filed a suit in small claims court and he eventually sent me the money shortly before the trial date. A year later my former roommate moved out and had the same issues getting her deposit back. Avoid this landlord and his mediocre apartments at all costs.
Advice to the owners
Follow the law, stop stealing people's deposits, take better care of your buildings
