Absentee landlords
Pros
The building is well priced and well located. Each apartment is large and has nice lighting.
Cons
The building owners are frankly absentee landlords who have neglected to update, clean, or maintain the building for many years. When I lived in the building the intercom and buzzer to let people in did not work, the appliances and finishes were old and there were some problems with pests in the building. On top of that the owner seemed to resent the tenants for asking for repairs etc. My roommates and I and the couple below us all moved out after 1 year.
Advice to the owners
Put some money into the building and set clear expectations with the the tenants.
owner is unresponsive and building maintenance is poor
Pros
good location, affordable price, large apartments
Cons
building poorly maintained and is old, landlord is not responsive to tenant issues
Advice to the owners
be a bit more responsive to tenants and set clear expectations
