High Rent - No Landlord Reaponsivenes
Pros
Nice area. And nice super. People are nice (though not friendly)
Cons
These are individually owned. There is one landlord that owns several. And you will play heck trying to get help with anything. The management company refuses to speak to you, because they only serve the people who own units in the building. You are literally left in your own if you are a tenant. The landlord makes it impossible to pay rent, plays games with subleases that are less then one year (assuming so they can avoid certain laws), and never fixes anything. Had toilet water from the unit above dripping for days. Currently have no microwave or oven - as both do not work. The microwave almost caught on fire. All for over $10,000 per month.
Advice to the owners
Do normal leases. Hire a company to provide basic services like rent payments.
