Location but nothing else
Pros
Convenient, fun, and diverse location
Cons
Property Managers have the broker/realtor’s best interest at heart rather than their tenants’. The current tenants are organizing lawsuits against them and have been for some time. The walls and windows are so thin that literally if someone is WHISTLING in the hallway you can hear them. Living on the first floor felt as if you were on the sidewalk, especially with it being directly across the street from an elementary school causing loitering. We never met a super, property manager, or landlord. There were also no screens in the windows and very little natural light. The mailboxes and buzzers have been broken for years and packages are often stolen. The lights constantly flicker so there appear to be electrical problems as well. They tried to raise rent $500+ without making one update and then were late returning our deposit and it illegally did not earn interest.
Advice to the owners
Don’t bad mouth good tenants, INSULATE, and take care of entrance area!
First floor apartment
Pros
The location was great.
Cons
They raised the rent by a lot after the first year without upgrading in any way. If you need anything done, they will not help. You could hear the people walking by the bedroom talking like they were IN yoir apartment. This is just another place where the rental agency/landlord whoever doesn’t care at all.
Advice to the owners
Try caring, a little work goes a long way.
