Gotta remind myself the price
Pros
Cheap, good location, has so much potential
Cons
Emphasis on potential, because before my roommates and I started complaining, I swear you would have to be homeless to be grateful for a place like this. Had no hot water or gas for five weeks and my landlord told us we were complaining too much and this is why he doesn't like renting to students? Had a roach the size of a kerosene lighter (like the fat block ones) crawl across my ceiling to find holes along every radiator in the house. He came to fill it up with what I'm assuming is wood glue or cement. The rooms (2 of which don't have windows aka no ventilation) smelled like straight chemical for 48 hours WITH my top tier air cleaner on turbo mode. Had the unfortunate privilege of seeing the basement only to be welcomed by roaches the size of my phone. The exterminator told me why I even live here.... Ventilation wasn't up with city code (inspectors came across the span of the summer to check up on it). We were told he had to break down the wall behind the kitchen which went into one of the bedrooms (not sure where we are on this). Bathtub was leaking from the top and bottom. He "fixed" it. Whoever he hired to saw through the tiles didn't use any sort of containment screen so we found silica and porcelain dust all over the bathroom, on our skin products, towels, toothbrushes, etc. (he didn't do anything about this. we had to deep clean everything and throw half our products out.). We changed the showerhead on our own because he replaced the handle but not the head. lol. Let's just say I've never been more excited to move out.
Advice to the owners
If you like being a landlord as your job then maybe do it?
