Pro: Your kitchen sink is broken, but there’s no need to worry. You’re only a doorbell away from getting that baby fixed.

Con: Your landlord notices the things that you broke or ruined in your apartment and takes notes of what to deduct from your deposit.


Pro: You feel safer bringing home random online dates because your landlord is just a scream away. 

Con: You can’t bring home TOO many dates without feeling really judged.


Pro: Mail deliveries are a lot easier because your landlord can sign for your packages.

Con: Your landlord now knows how much you shop online and that you subscribe to weird magazines.


Pro: You can’t find your apartment key. Good thing the main key holder lives above you and can grant you access to your humble abode.

Con: Your landlord knows how often you have drunkenly locked yourself out. 


Pro: Because your landlord lives in your building, your friends never expect you to throw house parties or host the pregaming (i.e., you don’t have a huge mess of empty bottles and pizza boxes to clean up the next day).

Con: Having any friends over – especially loud ones – is risky business. Your fun will likely equal a ruined reputation and permanent silent judgment from your landlord.


Pro: Your landlord can watch over your house while you’re out of town, pick up your mail, water your plants, etc.

Con: You can’t Airbnb or sublet your apartment without him/her knowing you’re breaking the lease.


Pro: Since your landlord lives upstairs, you have a lot of face-to-face interactions with them. Think of this as an opportunity to kiss their ass and make them like you as a tenant.   

Con: Having a lot of face time with your landlord means you risk being seen inebriated, hungover, or just a terrible tenant.


Pro: You are a 30-second walk away from paying rent. Convenience is always a plus.

Con: You are a 30-second walk away from paying rent. There is no excuse for a late payment.
