Bad Management

Management is rude and horrible. Nothing ever gets in the building. Nasty and noisy neighbors.

Poorly Managed Property

Unclear when dealing with tenants, expect extra surprise fees due to their lack of communication. Poor maintenance on the property with unprofessional management.
