The landlord is fine

Pros

The landlord follows the law, no more no less. Property manager is pretty responsive when there's issues. Good water pressure and the hot water is really hot.

Cons

The landlord will raise the rent to the maximal allowed. (Building is covered by good cause eviction bill) The washer/dryers SUCK. They make my clothes dirtier.
