An average landlord/building
Pros
The building feels newer than the surrounding buildings. The rooms have great ceiling height.
Cons
Management is not the most responsive, usually takes a few days for an email response.
The Absolute Worst
Pros
-Beautiful sunlight in every room. -High ceilings. -Neighbours are generally nice, respectful, and quiet. -AC’s are very efficient and powerful (we never paid more than $100-$150 between 3 adults for heat and cooling)!
Cons
-Super is comically horrible. I wonder if the landlord told him to be stupendously half-assed at his job to save money or something. He's gaslit me, come into my apartment with no warning, locked me out once when he came in while I was away (and then said he wouldn't help me get into my one and only home because he was "off-duty"; when I called the management office, they said I'd have to pay a $20 fee for forgetting my key but he tried to scam me and ask for $50 before I made him call his own goddamn office to confirm), and is just overall rude. I hate him passionately. -Never met the landlord. Who even is she/he? -Management office won't respond to you 75% of the time if you have a legitimate complaint. -Electric stove is extremely finicky, annoying, and a pain to clean. -Floors have like a "sticky" texture to them making them almost impossible to clean. -Windows are not insulated well; in the winter there’s condensation and mold will grow like crazy. :( -Water takes FOREVER to warm up!!!!! -Only one set of weak laundry machines to serve the whole building, AND you have to pay to use it.
Advice to the owners
Train your super and staff better. Actually listen to tenant complaints. Stop cheaping out on fixing the fixtures that need fixing!!!
