Here is a link to a video I took of the apartment on the last day my son lived there.  It does not look anything like the pictures they presented.  Yes, it was dirty.  I have no problem with them keeping the deposit for cleaning.  The landlord has access to all the units, so these pictures could have been taken in any number of them.  Plus, taking close up pictures of dirt doesn't really paint the entire picture.  The appliances and carpeting were old and would have had to be replaced anyway.  He's just trying to do it on someone else's dime.   The link also contains a .PDF document that lists the "extortion" charges back in 2007.   $2100 dollars, which I paid.  Now he wants $1200 more?  I don't think so.  And I stand behind my slumlord comment.    My son asked several times for them to come out and fix a light switch that was clearly installed incorrectly.  It would spark when you turned it on or off, which could easily have caused a fire.  The only thing they ever did to the apartment was when it was on my dime.   It's criminal to charge someone for 16 years of fair wear and tear, and I plan on taking him to small claims court

This is in regards to Complaint ID [redacted]. The allegations in the complaint are false and unsubstantiated. I have attached a copy of the move out costs and repairs that were needed after his son [redacted] vacated the home. It was in horrible shape. The carpet did have to be replaced due to...

animal stains from cats and filth. The carpet cost, installation, and floor sealing   was prorated due to his residency length. There was wall repair that needed to be done as well. All blinds were either broken or missing and had to be replaced. The stove top was burnt around burners and in bad shape.  In regards to the AC/PTAC unit in his townhome while he resided there, it did have to be repaired and cleaned due to cat hair, urine and filth. The refrigerator was previously replaced because the compressor had been destroyed due to overheating.  All airways were completely clogged with dirt and cat hair.  Mr. [redacted] was not charged for this.  We have a bulging file of housekeeping discrepancies that is available for inspection.   As to the charge of slum landlord and section 8 housing.  It is true Mr. [redacted] was on section 8. That is one of the reasons Mr. [redacted] moved.  Section 8 housing does not require their clients to maintain their home in a livable condition.  Because of this we no longer accept section 8.  Also, Mr. [redacted] is really no longer capable of living on his own and section 8 does not provide for their housekeeping. I invite anyone to inspect the apartments, interview the tenants, whatever anyone wishes.  If anyone can remotely call this complex a slum ran by a slumlord  I will buy them the biggest steak dinner they will ever have.  I invite anyone to talk to the other tenants that still live in the same building that Mr. [redacted] lived in, and get their assessment of   Mr. [redacted] and the condition of his apartment.  I honestly feel bad for Mr. [redacted], he need someone to look after him, maybe like a family member???   In summation, the townhome was not properly taken care. The condition of the home was in no means normal wear and tear. If after looking at the move out and pictures, you still have questions please feel free to call me at 740-522-2255. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.   Pictures are on file for your viewing and have been sent to your email.
