Hardwood floors and big closets are great, but the difference between a good apartment and a not so good apartment often comes down to the quality of the landlord. In fact, the quality of your landlord can drastically effect your entire quality of life.

A good landlord means quick and attentive help with problems. A good landlord means a painless living situation. A good landlord means concern for tenant well being.

A bad landlord can mean living in a unclean or unsafe building. It can mean having your concerns ignored, getting ripped off, or even having your civil rights violated.

But frankly, we don’t need to tell you what makes a good or bad landlord, because you know from your own experience. As always, we’re interested to hear from Ask LaLa readers about their experiences. So tell us: Who are the best landlords in New York City? Who are the worst ones? We’d love to hear how different landlords youv’e come across- as either a tenant or as an apartment hunter- rate on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), or any other comments you have about New York City landlords.
