Owners Dont Care
Pros
Layout of apartments are pretty good. Large bedrooms and decent light.
Cons
Hallways are dirty and rarely cleaned. Stairs are starting to fall apart. Front door to building has been broken for 2 months with no way to buzz people or deliveries into the building. Management give the run-around on updates with no end in sight. Fixes and repairs to building are as cheap as possible and barely effective. Water leaks and warped floors. Trash area in the back is a disaster of filth. All of this while they raise the rent. They want all the money without maintaining their building.
Advice to the owners
Invest in maintaining the property instead of only increasing rents. Prioritize basic building maintenance by repairing the front entry system, keeping common areas clean, addressing water damage properly, and making lasting repairs instead of temporary patches. Be transparent with tenants about repair timelines and follow through on commitments. A well-maintained building and honest communication go a long way toward retaining good tenants.
