Yeah, but the buildings are VERY old! A lot of these old places may look very nice form the outside, and even inside, but they can be quite rotten tot he core, with horrible plumbing, electricity, noisy steam heat, and no insulation.Thanks,Mike
For about 3 months I lived in an apartment that had no bathroom and no kitchen. It was one big room with two closets which i turned into my kitchen. Man that sucked... And it still cost me $500 a month!
i grew up in lakewood on clifton on the west side close to river-every time i go back to visit,i notice it get worse and worse... people have mentioned how much its gone down hill- its true- although it's still dirt cheap compared to elsewhere in the country- the city has been falling down for a while now..that being said, ill gladly wait a few more years to move back--until anybody can afford one of those 8 bedroom houses on the lake!

"which would NOT happen" Hah! I think most people have the same opinion of Ohio.

That's one definition. Another is just "neglected," which fits the bill.

You signed the lease, you agreed to the terms.

maybe now he'll think twice about how he treats his tenants!
