Avoid This Landlord at All Costs

This landlord was extremely unprofessional and made the entire stay uncomfortable. The house was not move-in ready, poorly maintained, and cluttered with her personal belongings. We had no furnace in thirty-degree weather, leaking pipes, a bedroom door that couldn't close, and a makeshift walkway to a creepy laundry area. Utilities weren't included as there was an extra $100 charge not specified on the website. She often had random people around the property - her ex-husband, best friend, and a neighbor - with no warning, creating an unsafe environment. Communication was inconsistent; she ignored messages, tried to charge us for four months instead of three, and contacted us weeks after a clean final walkthrough claiming "new damage." She refused to use the group chat, overshared personal issues to excuse delays, openly insulted tenants, and didn't even know the Wi-Fi name or password. Overall, she does not respect tenant boundaries or maintain her property. If possible, zero stars.
