    Decent Amenities, Less Space
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Units are renovated/maintained, with relatively new fixtures and appliances. Bathroom is spacious, with a good shower. In-unit w/d is nice, though they are SMALL and the dryer isn’t the best.
    Cons:
    UPDATE 2023: look up Steve Croman and Centennial Properties before signing ANYTHING. This company is embroiled in law suits. Tenants have been sending their rent to a law firm since August 2022 because the company is engaged in illegal business practices.

    The super scams new tenants out of $130 by uninstalling padlocks prior to move-in (leaving an open hole in the front door), then insisting that new tenants pay cash under the table to have a “new” padlock installed (he reinstalls the one he removed between tenants).

    Definitely not paying for space, as the bedroom is cramped and there isn’t much counter space in the kitchen(ette) area. Also, in-unit w/d sounds nice in theory, but the washer is super small, and the dryer is either so hot it shrinks everything, or so mild that it doesn’t fully dry.

    Also the super is only responsive when you submit a ticket through the property management site. Don’t let him bully you into working with him directly, he is shady as noted above, plus pretends to be responsive then never actually solves issues (unless there’s documentation with the property management company).
    Advice to owner:
    Tell the super to stop trying to cut property management out of tenant interactions. He routinely bullies tenants into working with him directly, and it’s not great.
