Jim Hagen    |    Ocean Park    ,    Washington 98640    Landlord Complaint 20-1569

Failed to comply with the landlord duties of Washington law RCW 59.18.060. A metal electrical box hanging from cables on the north side of the house was to be mounted but never was. It would beat against the house in the wind, causing damage, threatened safety, and was an increasing hazard for accidents. During the first winter occupying the house, the back door split open and did not close. The door, a few days later, was nailed and screwed together as a temporary fix but left large holes/cracks between it and the frame. It was to be later repaired but was not, thus would allow much heat out and let cold in. In November of 2010, the living room heater became faulty, it would turn on for no more than a few minutes at a time, you would have to wait 45 minutes to an hour before turning it back on to try to get a few more minutes out of it. This problem was never fixed. Within the first few months of living at this residence, the "New" dishwasher's motor burnt out and took months to repair. There was defective light fixtures in the only bathroom. The decorative glass pieces would repeatedly fall and break the bulbs. This issue was also never fixed. Along with the violations, they also miss use the Washington smoking law RCW 70.160.075 in their lease. Trying to enforce it to residential areas. There's also with holding security deposit and demanding more money for unnecessary renovations he elected to do. This is still an ongoing dispute. They have also over charged my insurance company for accidental damage, and want to "Credit" the remaining amount towards the statement they want to place upon us for these unnecessary renovations.
