No pros worth dealing with landlord

The owner, Maria is an absolute maniac. She has made living here hell. She decided to start painting the apartment the day we moved in - literally, as we were moving boxes and furniture in. She had 2 full weeks to do this. The bathroom also was not ready on our arrival (this isn’t a new apartment!) and we had to use the bathroom in an empty unit next door for the first week. Then, this winter, our fridge broke. She told us it was our fault (it wasn’t) and didn’t replace it for 2 months because she didn’t want to pay $200 more for a fridge that could have been there immediately. Again, she told us to use the fridge in the empty unit next door - which she also uses for herself. She constantly makes up reasons to come inside our apartment. It’s one thing after another. And now when we are trying to move out, she makes it impossible to mail out boxes or sell furniture without absolutely berating us at every step. She got mad at me for selling my furniture without telling her, and literally screamed at me in the hallway as i was trying to move it out, then closed the door on me to lock me out. She banged on our door and repeatedly called me one night at MIDNIGHT for leaving a box in the hallway. If you want an apartment where you can live your own life, free from constant interference and harassment from your landlord, don’t live here! She also kept our security deposit even though the apartment was completely undamaged.

You’re a bad person!

Nice building, clean, high quality. Well laid out apartments with recent upgrades. Good bones - the walls are thick and you can’t hear your neighbors.

Maria, the owner, is a terrible person. She verbally berates her tenants. She told my neighbor that she was a “party girl from a bad family” when two guests left after 11pm. She told my movers that they were a fake moving company, their COI was fake, and that their business was a “bullshit lie.” (it was not). She imposes random fees ($50 an hour for moving out after 4pm, written on a note card and texted to me a week before I was scheduled to move) and is rude to me when I tell her I will not pay them as they are not specified in the lease. She told my roommate that the hot water problem was her own fault (it was not). Her building is like a family in that she is an abusive mother who gaslights her tenants. Not worth it.

Stop being a bitch.
