Owner broke lease after fly infestation
Pros
Close to public transit, entertainment and neighborhood vibe.
Cons
My unit had a pest infestation when Covid first broke out. Roommates and I were spending all of our time at home while flies took over the kitchen and bathrooms. This went on for months. The property was managed by a co-living company called Bungalow. We were able to get a discount on rent for the trouble. We were told with less than 30 days notice that they were ending our lease shortly after the infestation was finally resolved.
Poor management;
Pros
Cheap, close to train, good neighborhood
Cons
Ceiling leaked when rained and management never fixed, management company was not responsible, can hear club in ground floor even from top floor, loud bar patrons outside blocking door to building, entrance door constantly broken (unable to open) creating an unsafe situation, robbery occurred there, apts and rooms are very small, walls between apartments not sealed and noise travels easily between
Advice to the owners
