The tenant posted a list of complaints on the home upon moving into the home and we took care of many of the problems in a timely manner. Tenant asked if he could take care of the rest of the fix-it type items and deduct it from the rent. He...

was authorized to do it. For the entire 4 years they lived in the home, they continually deducted (almost every month) items they fixed and repaired it the home. He was compensated for everything they did at the home.
The previous tenant in that house, trashed the home and it was in need of new carpet in order to rent the home to this tenant.
This tenant admitted to having cats and that they used the cupboard under the stairs where a hole was cut out of the cabinet door. There was no mention of a hole in the cabinet door the entire time they rented the home.
When I did the walk through on the home, the carpets had just been cleaned and every window and door was open at the time. I did notice a musty type of smell which is not unusual right after carpets are cleaned. I told the tenant that the home looked good, however, the homeowners would need to inspect it before we could return any deposit. The tenant totally understood that.
The homeowner did arrive about a week later after the home was closed up (all windows and doors) for that week. Upon entering the home, there was a huge pet urine smell throughout the house. We had a carpet cleaning company check the home and they said they could not get all of the odor out of the carpet. The homeowners were forced to install new carpet throughout the house at a huge expense. The tenant was charged a very small prorated amount towards the cost of the carpet. They were also charged for the manufacture and replacement of the cabinet door that a cat door was cut out of.
The tenant was given an accounting of all of this along with the balance of their deposit which is required by law. The homeowners were entitled to charge what they did against the tenants deposit. There is nothing more to be done on this matter.

Review: In February 2014, My fiancee and I called [redacted] and [redacted] at Blue Sky Realty pertaining to a 4.55 acre parcel of land in Wallaceton PA that was advertised on [redacted]. When I called, we were encouraged to look at the land ourselves since there was still snow on the ground and the owners did not wish to drive out there. They informed us that if we liked the property that it was a "hot item", seeing as people from Shamokin PA were coming out to look at it (the day before we called, no less). We determined that the land suited our needs but we wanted to look at the land agreement. [redacted] and [redacted] said that if we wanted the land to come up with $3000 to put down right away so that another party buy didn't purchase it first. At all times throughout our interaction with [redacted] and [redacted], they seemed to be hurrying us along. They didn't have the paperwork ready when we arrived and instead thought it useful to give us an hour long lecture of their christian/family ideals and family work shop. We decided to sign the agreement (more details if needed)The maps, diagrams and land agreement did not represent the established property lines. I questioned [redacted] and [redacted] on this and their solution was to have me call multiple county officials and organizations to figure it out. When these officials could offer no clarity, [redacted] and [redacted] said I had to pay to have the property lines re-staked/surveryed. When I sent them photographs of the supposed property line to clear up what they meant (since they refused to go to the land) they became agitated in email correspondence that I had began cutting down 3 trees. In irate and condescending tones they informed me that I wasn't allowed to cut down any trees because that violated the land agreement and since I signed it, they didn't have to abide by the landlord tenant act of 1951 and they could reclaim the land at anytime without reimbursement for any improvements. How am I supposed to build a house on a property that I can't modify the lands?(all emails saved)Desired Settlement: I want my money back. When I signed the land agreement, I verbally verified with [redacted] and [redacted] on two separate phone calls where they claimed the property lines we located. They affirmed my description, knowing full well they were negligently misrepresenting the property and later admitted they had "no clue" where the lines were located. How can a property owner can state in written agreements that they don't have to abide by federal laws and that their contract takes precedence?
