Luxury Condo next to World Trade Center

Rental NIGHTMARE

This unit was not set up for a tenant. At move-in, the apt was filled with the landlord’s belongings, leaving closets, spaces, and cabinets completely unusable. The unit was not prepared: dirty floors, stained couch, wall drip marks, foul-smelling towels & bedding, no trash can, 1 pillow, no vacuum, & no effort to make the space livable. Rent was sent on time every month. Despite this, I was repeatedly told rent was late based on how long the landlord waited for funds to clear rather than the actual payment date, resulting in monthly messages claiming late rent. After move-out, the landlord accused me of causing damages that were pre-existing and documented at move-in. This escalated into aggressive communication, including dozens of texts & calls, & felt like a bad faith attempt to shift responsibility & keep my security deposit rather than a real damage claim. This was a very stressful experience, & this review still does not capture everything. I would NOT rent from this landlord.
