Apartment above me flooded 3x and I've woken up to soggy carpets multiple times now. The trash room backs up weekly which I think is why we've started seeing roaches around the place. 1 bed 1 den @ $2500/month, not including utilities which pushes us up to ~$3100/month. Can't find a cheaper place that isn't in worse conditions.
