We regret that the condition of the house was not up to ours or the tenant's standards when they took possession
Sometimes our vendors make mistakes or miss items they were supposed to addressWe feel that all of their complaints were valid, and we dispatched every item on their repair list the same day we received it, December 17thWe would be happy to provide documentation of that if desired
Additional repairs were requested on January 11th, we tried to get additional details as to the problem but got no response from tenantsWe finally dispatched a vendor on the 13th to check on it and complete any repairs needed, he reports that tenants have not returned his calls to schedule an appointment
Tenants competed some repairs without our permission, which they acknowledge, and have asked for reimbursementWe have repeatedly asked for copies of receiptsAs of this writing we still haven't received themOur policy is to reimburse tenants for reasonable expenses they incur in situations like theseMissing blinds and lack of cleanliness are certainly reasonable requestsIn some cases we have to get the owner's approval for reimbursement, but these owners are reasonable and are likely to agree with our recommendations
We believe these tenants will be an asset to the property, and we look forward to a long and beneficial relationship with themWe're committed to addressing all their needs in a timely mannerBut, we can't reimburse costs when we don't know what they areI'm confident we will be able to complete their repairs and work out fair compensation to them as needed

The tenant submitted 30 day notice on 7/2/14. She did not respond to phone messages left for her asking when she would be turning in keys. She never contacted us upon move out, and never turned in keys. We finally took possession of the...
property on August 8th. Tenant is legally responsible for rent until keys are returned.
Tenant was part of the subsidized housing, or section 8 program, which means the house was subject to inspections every 6 to 8 months by HUD inspectors. Any issues that may have been present when tenant moved in were addressed in a timely manner.
Paragraph 11, page 2 of the rental agreement dated 4/15/13 states that any damages caused by tenant will be charged to tenant. Tenant did NOT make additional payments for the windows, therefore tenant's rent payments were applied to the damages, as allowed by California law. Tenant received monthly statements showing the balance owing, and was mailed an itemized statement showing all charges, within 21 days of our taking possession of the property. Tenant did NOT provide us with a forwarding address, so the statement was mailed to last known address. Since tenant did not return our phone calls, or provide us with a forwarding address, we had no choice but to start collection action. Tenant certainly has the right to question the charges issued, and we will be happy to review them and provide documentation as needed. We will also be happy to consider a negotiated payoff amount that could end up being less than the amount submitted to collection. Tenant has never contacted us or the collection agency to discuss settling this issue. We would be happy to discuss it with tenant.
