Flyco Management    |    Mike Flynn    |    Cincinnati    ,    Ohio 45212    Landlord Complaint 22-9976

My complaints are: 1. I was told that before my rent started (July 1, 2012) that the apartment would be cleaned, the mold in the bathroom taken care of, walls painted, carpets cleaned, and the addition of a garbage disposal, new toilet, ceiling fan, possibly a dishwasher, and an energy efficient air conditioner could be done within the next few weeks. To date, only the carpets have been cleaned, and the toilet , garbage disposal, and ceiling fan placed. Walls aren't repaired or painted, bathroom still has mold in wall gaps, on the tub, on the caulk, and along walls. Near garbage disposal, GFI plate installed has open cracked plaster around it, and could be a hazard because it is near water. 2. In May 2012, I noticed small bugs crawling on my wall. I alerted management and even brought a bug on scotch tape to them. Management told me they were water bugs and they would spray for them the next day. Whether this was done or not, I don't know, but I am sure it was not professionally done by an exterminator. The bugs turned out to be bed bugs as I moved out at the end of May and saw them, their fecal material, and eggs near the electrical outlet. I spoke to a licensed exterminator and he said that students moving in and out could definitely have brought bed bugs in. I have been living in another unit the previous year and had never had bed bugs, nor have we ever had them in my home. Because of the failure to have the apartment ready for my move in and the bed bug problem, I called Flyco Management and politely asked to have my lease terminated. The landlord became angry and at one point, stated I was threatening him, which I responded that I was calling to amicably discuss a mutual agreement and our options. Each proposal I suggested, he angrily said "No" to. Since this call I have tried 5 times to contact management and left messages. No one has returned these calls. Because of these complaints, I contacted the Rental Protection Agency for assistance because I did not know what else I could do to solve this problem. Only 2 of the 6 units in the building were sprayed professionally and the bugs could be in another unit, in the walls, or come back. I have had material loses from this bed bug issue amount to over $1190.00 to date.
