Housing Victim

By 88santarosa

Hello fellow Renters!
We all know in this financial environment our hard-earned dollars are
needing to stretch farther than ever!!!
The fact that there are upside-down home owners who are now choosing to rent
their homes because they can’t sell are turning into theives by stealing
our deposits, promising to reimburse for costs incurred after written documentation,
and refusing to provide maintanence when needed, etc.

Hills and Homes Property management in Rhonert park are typical blood suckers!!
After l documented all repairs and mold occurances the owner and property managers
descided to charge me $200 to pick up dog poop that did not exist, repair holes in walls
that existed when i moved in, charge me for sprinklers the owner had replaced while l lived
there, then turn around and charge me for parts AND labor to the tune of $500!!!.  All said and done,
they took $1600 if my $4000 deposit to help make up for the loss of income from the home
standing empty after l moved out and they had no takers because they are asking way too much
$$$ for rent (reason l had to move).

I am asking for a BOYCOTT of property managers like Hills and Homes, that are stealing money
from good renters, and likely stealing even more from renters who have children, etc and incur “normal” wear and tear while living in these homes.  Legal action will likely be pending to
get some of my $1600 back.

How many of YOU have had the same thing happen.  My home, 2200 sq ft, had mostly hrd wd floors and tile, yet i was charged $250 for carpet cleaning of 2 bedrooms !!!!  Those carpets were cleaner than when i moved in!!!  This is a joke!!!  The house was left in better cond. than when l moved in, yet still charged $500 for labor for patching a nick in the paint!

If you are an attorney in the santa rosa area looking to write a letter to Hills and Homes for the usual and customary fee let me know!

Thanks for listening!

Yes it is extremely frustrating dealing with unfair landlords and property managers. I imagine you are extremely upset with them, I would be.
Personally, as a fellow landlord I strive to provide the best service and fair refund of rent deposits. If you really feel like your landlord was not being fair, I suggest reporting it. You can report landlord problems on their landlord history report by leaving your own comments. Be wise not to sound too negative. Facts will damage their reputation more than rants or finger pointing.

good thing that you really put your rights into good use. A lot of tenants would just move out without a mum. Nice work there 88Santarosa
