Freezing and Small

Former Tenant

Pros:

Good features to lure you in (washer dryer, wine fridge)

Cons:

Cannot get warmer than 60 degrees in winter, con Ed bills 500+ and the owners are too cheap to do a double door downstairs or heat the hallways so all the warm air is sucked out

Advice to owner:

Invest in better heating and respond to emails once in a while

Property Companies, amirite

Former Tenant

Pros:

Garbage was always handled, exterminators came around monthly

Cons:

Dealing with a large company is hard, they raised our rent 25% after the first year, and there is someone who steals packages that the landlord hasn't helped

Advice to owner:

Deal with the package thief!
