Rent hikes every year, repairs never
Landlord overall
Rent went up the max allowed every single year while the hallway carpet disintegrated and the laundry room had one working machine for eight units. Emails about repairs get a 'looking into it' and then silence. Not a nightmare landlord, just a neglectful one.

Old school, mostly fair

Dale is a one-man operation and it shows both ways. Repairs happen when he can get to them — a week for a broken garbage disposal — but he never once tried to nickel-and-dime me, and my full deposit came back in ten days with an itemized statement that actually made sense. If you're patient, he's fine. If you need a portal and 24-hour maintenance, look elsewhere.
