This building is owned by one landlord and the entire place is infested with German cockroaches. I broke the lease for the first time in my life after less than three months because it was unbearable. The landlord refused to take responsibility and suggested a can of spray would solve it.
I spent over $1,000 of my own money on professional pest control and still found at least 10 cockroaches a night. They were in every room, including the bed, kitchen, living room and balcony. I kept no food in the flat and constantly cleaned, but it made no difference. The whole building needs proper professional treatment, not DIY attempts.
After numerous complaints, the landlord texted “just leave”, so I did. He then acted surprised when I moved out. The infestation ruined my quality of life and I had to replace furniture, linens, clothes and personal items because the cockroaches got into everything. My mental health declined and I had panic attacks, especially after seeing the landlord let himself into flats when tenants were not home. The flat also regularly reached over 40 degrees inside, and I paid for new blinds because the owner dismissed the issue. Overall, the landlord was cheap, dismissive and unsafe.
