Renter beware- the worst place ever

Former Tenant

Pros:

None at all

Cons:

Everything. Beginning with the landlord, Ben is rude, irresponsible and very clearly does not care about the apartment. When facility people were finally sent (after months of asking) they also were rude and threatened us. The walls are paper thin, we could hear the downstair neighbors yelling at each other the entire day and into the night. There is a pest problem in the entire building that has not been taken care of.

Advice to owner:

Literally just sell the property or care

“Better Homes”

Former Tenant

Pros:

Technically counts as shelter.

Cons:

Lived in the “renovated” ground floor apt. Back yard featured a random pile of construction cement, as well as bathroom tile - so you’d fall on your ass when it snowed. Major plumbing issues - burst pipes (water raining down *through a light fixture didn’t seem to concern the landlords) and frozen pipes (went almost a week without heat before the landlords came to check out the issue, all during a bomb cyclone). Also RATS. Greeting us when we opened the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Because the landlords hadn’t sealed off the wall when they installed the kitchen plumbing, so there was a direct path from the outside of the building, into our kitchen, for rodents to nest. Management company went by: Better Homes.

Advice to owner:

Find another profession.
