Scammy Landlord Uses Alias
Former Tenant
Pros:
It has nice light.
Good water pressure.
Liked the hardwood floors.
Good water pressure.
Liked the hardwood floors.
Cons:
Landlord charged me extra on my first month (he prorated from date of signing, not when I received my keys). He’s using an alias to rent because he was previously convicted for harassing tenants and trying to illegally evict them. Harassed me, even though I paid my rent on time every month.
Building has a roach problem that the landlord won’t do anything about. Packages are consistently stolen and there was no doorbell/buzzer to know when deliveries were downstairs. Nightmare of a building that was extremely overpriced.

Not responsible owner
Former Tenant
Pros:
Only like roommates, they were cool.
Cons:
The owner who initially ask for the deposit then went ahead and kept it without letting me know that it’s a not refundable. The place is trash if they don’t like you. They aren’t very trustworthy people.
Advice to owner:
Be a grown up and refund people who you cheat money deposit off.
