    The owners promise everything
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My husband. Some neighbours. The location.
    Cons:
    Irregular heat. Irregular hot water. Regular leaks. Rats, mice. Dead rat stench. Unresponsive and dodgy management.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop lying to your tenants. You will keep having high turnover, which costs you money.

    Never.... Ever.... Live Here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice people in building that all had to come together to survive this awful awful awful building / management company
    Cons:
    Management is either corrupt or totally incompetent. Words can’t describe how bad this living experience has been. Never ever ever live in this building.
    Advice to owner:
    Get out of the real estate business
