I can't imagine a worse landlord!! My roommate and I live on the top floor of a three story building rented by J.J. Land and it is FREEZING all the time!! We suspect that the foundation of the house shifted at some point and then they did nothing to insulate the place from the shifted floors. The floors and walls do not meet correctly. In the hall it is clear that at one point it was hardwood and a board broke so they just put a carpet down, you can still feel the spot where the board is caving in. We can feel a draft from the fireplace that is insulated with STEEL WOOL. We asked to have the shower recaulked which was apparently done by a twelve year old since there was caulking on the floor of the bathroom and in the toilet. Before we moved in they must have caulked over mold because we tried cleaning the bathroom the first day and the mold won't come off. The apartment wasn't cleaned AT ALL before we moved in. The carpets were disgusting and it was clear that the previous tenant had an animal, which I'm allergic to. In the lease it specifies an animal security deposit so they can have the carpets cleaned, which they CLEARLY didn't do and just kept the money! We asked to have a dresser removed from the apartment when we had our walk through at the end of August, the dresser stills sits in the building and it's nearly January. We were told that our $300 gas bill wasn't high at all even though we can feel drafts from the floorboards and fireplace. Our apartment consists of only two bedrooms, a kitchen, a SMALL bathroom (as small as my closet), and a living room.... clearly the gas bill is too high! We keep the temperature at 65 when we're there and 62 at night and when we leave. For three months we went without any lighting in our stairway, which gets PITCH black at night because we're on the third floor. Apparently our safety wasn't a big concern to J.J. Land. If there is anything I can suggest, it's to stay away from any of J.J. Land's properties!!
Pros: It's sad to say but I can't really think of any.
Cons: Not friendly, will not get things done, only care about the money
