Building From Hell
Pros
The unit was renovated and the space was big. We had laundry in unit as well as a dishwasher which was very convenient.
Cons
The original landlord defaulted on the mortgage payments so the building was taken away from him and appointed to a lawyer. This lawyer clearly did not care nor have the time to communicate what happened, maintain the building, or give our deposit back. We were stuck in this building for 2 years dealing with the filth, multiple breaks in through the main door of the building, and constant issues with the apartment that went unresolved. We has to fight to get anything cleaned, to have a bursting pipe fixed, and then to get our deposit back.
Advice to the owners
Literally give up this building or sell it. Tenants deserve a building management and a super to reach out to for any issues. It is not right to make someone pay rent to live in an empty dirty building.
Band management
Pros
Character. Amazing yard.
Cons
The management company will always take the cheapest route in repairs and are very selective with responses. Usually only if it benefits them do they respond quickly.
Advice to the owners
Spend a little more money and get someone qualified to do repairs with the items done correctly! Be consistent with your responses and who responds to the tenants. Fix all the dumb old stuff like the mailbox’s and things like that. A little goes a long way
