Comments on condition:
The house is kind of crappy/apart/barely furnished, but it has huge spacious rooms and is dirt cheap. Unfortunately, ownership has changed hands and its not on the market next year.

Temperature
Is the residence well insulated? No
Are there window screens? Yes
Are there storm windows? Yes
Is the residence warm enough? Yes, but it's very expensive to heat
Is it hard to regulate the heat?
(For example, does the thermostat work? Do you have to open windows in the winter?): No

Comments on any of the above (temperature):
House is terribly insulated, so we have to turn the heat way up so it keeps heat in.

Relationship With Landlord

Have you observed on the part of the landlord/landlady discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.? No

Is the landlord/landlady willing to make repairs? If yes, comment on how promptly (below): No

Have you had any disagreements with your landlord/landlady concerning who has the responsibility for making the repairs? No

Do you expect to have any problems getting your security deposit returned? If yes, why? (Explain below.): No

Have you had any major disagreements with your landlord/landlady? (Explain below.): Yes

If yes, have you taken any legal action concerning the disagreement? (Explain below.): No

Explanations and comments:
Previous landlords made themselves pretty scarce, but would occasionally show up unannounced, and it was rude to turn them away so we didnt. Told us they would pay for internet, didnt. Told us they would replace old torn couch, didnt. Have not communicated our rent situation (re:payment) honestly to the new landlord, so that we might get jipped out of some money. New landlord seems great.

Neighborhood & Location
Are your neighbors towns-people, students, or a mix? Townspeople
For whom is the noise level appropriate? School children
Problems with location? None of the above

Comments on the neighborhood:
We love it. Our neighbours are great and there are lots of really awesome little kids that come by to visit us and play. Even if our house isnt on the market, you should definitely look at the neighbourhood. Its not that far, the exercise will do you good.
