11. Don't Rent this Sugarloaf Condo


Too numerous to mention but the worst were:
1. No key provided-we had to leave the door unlocked when we went to ski!
2. The kitchen was infested with carpenter ants coming out of the
garbage disposal.
3. Dishwasher did not work properly-all glassware was filmy and gritty
4. Downstairs bedroom which could sleep 4, had that water damaged disgusting mildewly moldy smell. No one should sleep here.
5. Carpeting in the kitchen.
6. Sink sprayer did not work.

12. wrongfully keeping security deposit


Looked over the place and agreed that I took fine care of it and would get my security deposit. They also told me they would buy back any excess firewood that I did not use, so there was no worry in buying too much from them. As it turns out, they will not pay me the security deposit owed to me (blaming me for damages that were already there when I moved in) and they will not buy back the cord of firewood like they said they would. The cottage is on a beautiful piece of land, but the cottage itself is not in great shape. The furnishings seem to be castoffs from Goodwill (threadbare, dirty and worn). It was not cleaned before I moved in. There are water leaks in the living room, critters in the attic, and the window latches are broken so you can't open them, etc. Definately better places in the area than this.

13. The Check Was NOT In the Mail!


Despite being assured that our security deposit check was 'in the mail,' it has been months and no such return of our security deposit has occurred. The owner, Ms. Tilden, assured me on several occasions that we would be receiving the check, and never at any time indicated we were not entitled to it. At this point, she has simply stopped communicating with me.

Despite that the property was nice and the kids had a lot of fun, I would strongly recommend not renting from this person.

14. changed place of rental and place was very dirty


We did not get the rental property we had originally rented. We had rented a different house and he changed the rental to a place next door....which was older and and very dirty. The wood floors were filthy and spiders in all the corners of the rooms.
We talked to the people in the house we were to have and they said they had reserved the house several months before arriving. They said their's was very dirty and they had to clean for several days to make it livable.
We did not catch the change of rental...until we arrived. As it had the same directions and was part of an email...thanking us for a check. Sent about 2 weeks before our arrival.
I contacted the manager and said I wanted a refund of $175. for mental unrest with us and the people with us and the cleaning fee. We had to clean before we could unpack. It was a very bad experience for our 1st for For Rent by Owner.
Our next week in Mass. was spotless and a real joy....

15. mainebeachrental.com - security deposit not returned


I rented this property located at 19 Island View Avenue in Ferry Beach, Saco Maine from Mike Wiley, the owner of the property who rents through his own website at http://www.mainebeachrental.com. He requested a $1000 security deposit, which he claimed he would return on the Monday following my departure. As the deposit was not returned, I followed up with him and he finally wrote back saying "I will get you back your security deposit today". That was the last communication I have received and since then my inquiries have gone unanswered.

I have since come accross two other people who have had the same exeperience with Mike Wiley for this property.
