Paying too much for too little
Pros
Had a living room separate from the kitchen!
Cons
Water would actually burn you. Like, genuinely very dangerous. If anyone in the building (large building btw, like 28 or something) flushed water you would get burned. It’s really unpleasant and an actual huge dealbreaker. Rats in the walls. Heat is unbearable in the winter. I lived on the fourth floor, and the temperature would get upwards of 85° due to the heating. Exposed pipes get incredibllyyyyy hot, and very dangerous for pets and children.
Advice to the owners
Fix your heat and water , you will absolutely land yourself a lawsuit (that is, if anyone can afford a lawyer after the ridiculous rent)
No gas while there
Pros
Location was good
Cons
Didn’t have functioning gas while there so couldn’t use kitchen. It was due to pipes not meeting regulation so they were replacing them all
Advice to the owners
Provide more aid when cutting off key part of apartment
