I’ve been pretty quiet recently, I’ve not much to talk about up until now. I’ve got a voice right now that’s louder than my own and that’s blogbaltimore.com. I want to use that voice to express my annoyances with the owners of many of the rental and housing properties around the Canton and surrounding area. I understand that Canton is an up and coming area but seriously, to charge $1200 a month for a 2 bedroom 1 and a 1/2 bath with no air conditioning and a kitchen with 3 cabinets is ridiculous. Also, considering that the property has been up for an excessively long time, it’s time to shit or get off the pot. Drop the rates or add some amenities that make it worth $1200 a month.

We’ve been perusing a lot of the rental properties around Canton and it’s just too much bullying from owners. I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath row home that, at $2000 a month, has a leaky roof which spreads to all parts of the house, horrible electrical wiring, unsafe stairs, and a window (a set of double doors) setup that aren’t fenced in on the third floor. We were oblivious in the beginning because we weren’t aware of what else was around but even now it seems that renters are getting shafted quite a bit.

The hardest part to believe is that this is Baltimore. Baltimore isn’t the greatest of cities but it’s not the shittiest either (thank you Detroit.)

Maybe I’ll start a list of rental properties that should be boycotted due to a lack of respect by the owner or sheer stupidity in rental rates.

What would you want to say if you had a voice? Say it and let Baltimore know!
