Arlington, VA
This was the worst renting experience of my life. As soon as we moved in we started having issues with Ed that persisted throughout our tenancy. The unit had bedbugs which we discovered in the first couple weeks. We brought this to his attention and he claimed we must have brought them in, despite never having had bedbugs in our lives, and the existence of dead bedbugs which had to have been there before we moved in. Beyond this there were several safety issues in the apartment and when we brought them to his attention he first tried to gaslight us, then told us if we don’t like it there we can leave. Finally we had the county do an inspection and they told him if they weren’t fixed in the 30 days the building would be condemned - they were that bad. He’s truly the definition of a slumlord and will make your life and home miserable. Absolutely not worth it, so not rent from this man!
