Not taken care of

The property is fairly new but not taken care of. The bathroom door had a hole in it. The tub has red stains. The carpet was worn. There was hardly any amenities in the room. No hair dryer, q tips or cotton, no shower cap. It is a shame what has happened to this property.

I rented two rooms. One had no hot water in the shower. The other the phone didn’t work, the air conditioner did not blow cold air. Both bath tubs were dingy. They may have been clean but they need to be resurfaced.
