Pros

Cons
Older apartments are a mess. There are issues with leaks, mice, roaches, heat and hot water. As usual, they hire subpar contractors who they pay little (it seems) so you get subpar work.

Advice to the owners
People pay rent to live in a decent place, so right by them. Stop hiring contractors you exploit.
