2014-10-05 11:39:44   I lived in your unit not too long ago! Wow, I guess you know the place like no other because your description is very accurate indeed. The only additional comment I would add that although the landlord ask for the same amount of rent from each tenants, each unit is actually different when it comes to amenities and conditions. If you're lucky, you get the decent one, if you're unlucky you get the shittiest one. And like written here, the slum landlord definitely has more layers of skin on his face than most others and will not be shy about that at all. Oh, and he'll trap you into the rental saying he is making a special deal for you. Gossip: it's not a deal. Everyone else pays the same...and again, the units are totally different and should be charged accordingly. But what do you expect from a slum landlord? Oh and the hoarders got evacuated, I know this from the PhD student who is still living there (at least last time we met- which was back in June this year). And yes, her place is the shittiest, so make sure you rent that accordingly if she decides to move out...especially if the rent has really gone up to $1000-$1200!!!! I think the number for that unit is 1935...just thinking how the numbering goes...I may be wrong though...right side of the fourplex, first residence! —TinaFaraday
