They will try to steal your security deposit. They tried to take mine, and a friend of mine who used to work for them told me they consider security depoists as an extra bonus. They also require you to sign a lease that makes you responsible for steam cleaning and taking care of the walls- this is something that landlord- tenant laws say are the responsibility of the landlord- and will cost you a minimum of $200 more. So figure you are losing your security deposit + $200 if you rent from them and you will have to deal with small claims court, because that is the only reason they give the deposits back. Plus as far as landlords go their maintanence is horrible. During the big snow storms the past two winters it took over 24 hours for them to plow my driveway, I even had to miss work because I could not get out for 30 hours! My steps were crumbling and my 2 year old almost fell down them before they finally ""fixed"" it. When I told them there was an issue they put giant orange highway cones on my steps for 3 weeks before actually patching the steps! Do not rent from these people, they are the trash of Ithaca!
Pros: my neighbors were nice
Cons: every thing else
