Landlord is Thief

Location, location spacious

The landlord half assed repairs so the flooding kept happening. Landlord is impossible to get a hold of and dishonest.

Patio living, with the price of mice

Pros

Beautiful large patio

Cons

We had mice (lots of them) and cockroaches. The bathroom is old and always smelled of urine. The kitchen was old and dirty.

Advice to the owners

Be more responsive to the complaints of tenants. Took months to get a real exterminator over after had been complaining of mice. The super just kept coming but is not a professional and clearly didn’t know what he was doing.
