Extra Property Managment

We have helped this owner / landlord out in good faith many times and we're very disappointed that he'd try to hold us responsible for something that is not our liability. The owner of the property came to us to do a lockout- which we did. We...

finalized the lockout. The place was a wreck. We have video to show that. After that. He hired us to fix the place up. We fixed it. He came to do a walk through after we completed our work. He, his wife and one of his children. At that point, the place was ready to be rented. It needed a final cleaning and two items had to be finished. The owner insisted that he would not pay us unless all issues were taken care of. We finished those items within a week. He had instructed us that he did not want to get a C/O for the city. He approved the tenant that we proposed at the time. We called to cancel the C/O inspection. The tenant moved in. The place was in tip-top shape. We asked the tenant to let us know if there was anything that was wrong with the property. The tenant signed off saying that there was nothing wrong with the place. We have documentation of this on file. We charged what we charged for the work that was specified at the time that we were hired. Several months later, after the tenants have been living in the property, he called to tell us that someone made an appointment for a C/O inspection and that he wanted us to be liable for any issues that would result in his not getting a C/O. There were violations found by the C/O inspector. However, since the owner, his wife, his child and the tenant, all signed off on the work that we did, we have no control on what happened to the property once our job was completed. It is unfair to hold us responsible for any violations on the property after having a tenant living in there for several months and after he, and his tenant had already signed off on the work. he demanded that we make all repairs in answer to the C/O violations at no additional charge to him and threatened that he would take us to court if we did not comply with his demands. I am a landlord myself, I take all measures to make sure that the work we do is done completely, in the "right" way, that it is done as quickly as possible, and in the most economical way possible. We have documentation of all of this and can provide it upon request.
