Cheap and unreasonable
Pros
Extra half bathroom.
Cons
*Dirty. *always does a patch job, never fixes anything. *will insist in coming into apartment to supervise handyman jobs. *unreasonable. *does not take out garbage, this is magnates by a neighbor who may or maybe not take out all the garbage at his discretion. *neighbors park illegally or put cones to save parking spots for each other. *will complain about paying with a check because they can’t go to the bank. *will not give back security deposit *does not understand that a security deposit is supposed to be deposited into a bank account and given back to tenant. *illegally rents basement although house is registered as a two family. *Opens her door (first floor) and looks at you and your guests to spy on you as you come in and out. Made my family and I feel very uncomfortable. *Refuses to replace anything, be ready to deal with dozens of patch jobs and work with the handyman’s preferred schedule because your life does not matter. *heat is not included, be ready to fork over a ton in the winter. *the meter for this apartment is illegally connected to the hallway as well. You are going to pay the electric for that area.
