    Horrible Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    You only pay electric
    Rent is below 1400$ for a 3 bedroom
    Cons:
    No Internet
    Rats roam the building
    Landlord doesnt care about tenants
    People who work at management office are mean.
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of your tenants. Most of us have been living here for 20 plus years. There are people who have holes in their ceiling because of water in the walls.
