Nightmare Apartment; Avoid at all costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management pays someone to come and sweep the entryway and front steps one a week. Water pressure is strong.
Cons:
There is a comprehensive black mold problem in the HVAC system, rats living in the walls, and flooding issues that arise to a varying degree every time it rains. At the time of our move in, there was a biblical plague-level fly infestation that an exterminator suggested was resulting from the smell of dead rodents in the walls. No one was ever hired to find or remove the rodents. The presence of mold creates an unbearable, overwhelming odor that is made worse when humidity is high or the AC/heat is in use. My roommates and I were sick repeatedly with sinus infections, worsened asthma, swollen lymph nodes, and sore throats the duration of our time living here (three months). We repeatedly notified management of these these problems, yet they refused to acknowledge that anything was wrong with the unit, telling us over and over again that the super was "on top of it". After three months of negligence, we hired a mold inspector who confirmed the presence/growth of multiple strains of mold (including black) in the walls and HVAC system. We took Smart Management to court which allowed us to break our lease, but they kept the deposit. None of the previously mentioned issues were resolved by the time we moved out (end of August 2024) and they were aiming to have the apartment rented by September 1st so I can't imagine they were dealt with before then.

Unresponsive landlord , rats in walls
Former Tenant
Pros:
Backyard access, lots of space, appliances
Cons:
Rats in walls and ceilings, unresolved flooding in basement for 9 months.
Advice to owner:
Leave the property empty for a few months and fix the foundation and go into the ceiling without tenants to fix the rat issue.

Quiet and simple
Former Tenant
Pros:
The landlord is super responsive and its a quiet neighborhood.
Cons:
There’s not a lot of circulation so the apartment is very wet. It takes forever for my clothes or towels to dry and it makes the apartment feel get moldy.
Advice to owner:
Get a dehumidifier
