Raised my rent by 12% after one year.
Pros
Management responds for certain issues, but often requires follow up.
Cons
They raised my rent by over 10% after one year. Do NOT rent with this landlord, your rent will be increased at renewal without any explanation or empathy! They are money hungry landlords that rent quasi-one bedrooms for $500 over market rate. So disappointed.
Advice to the owners
Don't raise the rent too much, keep your great tenants! Have some empathy for your quiet tenants that pay on time!
Cute, small apartments
Pros
- The building is very clean and the apartments are beautiful, lots of exposed brick and wood cabinetry, good storage space in the basement and in the apartment - 2 washers and 2 dryers for the building (16 units) which was almost always sufficient. - Neighbors keep to themselves, not particularly friendly - Building is relatively soundproof, I've never heard my neighbors above me or next to me - I never saw a single mouse while living there.
Cons
- Apartments are definitely small compared to others in the area for the same price - Lots of barking dogs (there are four that are constantly, constantly barking all day) - Laundry is coin-operated only and the quarter machine next to it rejects 90% of any bill you try to insert. $3 for a wash, $3 for a dry. I did not have any serious issues while living there but when I asked about minor things, landlord would say "I'll look into it" but never actually get back to me.
