| Complaint |
WE RENTED THIS PROPERTY FOR A WEEK IN JULY, 2010. WE ARRIVED TO FIND THE HOME IN FILTHY CONDITION. AFTER PAYING A CLEANING FEE OF OVER $300 TO ENSURE CLEANLINESS UPON ARRIVAL, WE FOUND A HOME THAT WAS IN POOR CONDITION.IT WAS OBVIOUS WITHIN MOMENTS OF ENTERING THE HOME THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED AT ALL IN A VERY LONG TIME! THE KITCHEN WAS DIRTY AND CONTAINED A LONG BROKEN DISHWASHER (UNDISCLOSED PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL). THE CEILINGS IN THE HOME WERE UNFINISHED, WITH EXPOSED SHEET ROCK TAPE. THE FLOORS LEFT THE BOTTOM OF MY CHILDREN'S BARE FEET BLACK!! THE BATHROOMS WERE ABHORRENT (ONE HAD A LEAKING TOILET WITH A FILTHY TOWEL ABSORBING THE STALE, FOUL WATER OFF THE FLOOR). THE MASTER BATH SHOWER DOOR WAS SO COATED IN GRIME THAT THE GLASS WAS NO LONGER TRANSPARENT. THE MASTER BEDROOM REEKED OF STALE CIGARETTE SMOKE. OUR CLOTHES ACTUALLY SMELLED OF STALE CIGARETTES AFTER LEAVING OUR LUGGAGE IN THAT ROOM FOR JUST A FEW HOURS. ALL OF THE WINDOW SCREENS WERE RIDDLED WITH HOLES, BOTH LARGE AND SMALL. THIS ALLOWED MULTITUDES OF INSECTS TO ENTER THE HOME. THE WALLS WERE CRAWLING WITH HUNDREDS OF INSECTS AT DUSK AND THE WINDOWS HAD TO BE CLOSED IN 90+ DEGREE HEAT TO AVOID INSECTS OVERTAKING THE INTERIOR. THE AIR CONDITIONING ADVERTISED ON THE WEBSITE AND WHICH WE PAID AN EXTRA FEE TO UTILIZE CONSISTED OF 3 TINY, FILTHY, OLD WINDOW UNITS THAT BARELY FUNCTIONED AND WERE COMPLETELY INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ANY COOLING OR DEHUMIDIFICATION IN THE HOUSE. THE FINAL INSULT INVOLVED THE WATER SUPPLY IN THE HOUSE. THE TAP WATER REEKED OF SULFUR (ROTTEN EGGS) AND WAS COMPLETELY IMPOTABLE. MY HUSBAND GAGGED WHEN HE TRIED TO USE THE WATER MERELY TO BRUSH HIS TEETH. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THIS UNTIL WE HAD ALREADY ARRIVED AT THE HOME. A TINY PIECE OF PAPER SAT UPON A NON FUNCTIONING TELEVISION WHICH EXPLAINED THAT THE WATER CONTAINED SULFUR BUT WAS FILTERED FOR SAFETY. THE ODOR OF WHAT CAME FROM THE TAPS IN THAT HOME DID NOT SUGGEST ANY FORM OF FILTRATION. IT ACTUALLY LEFT AN ODOR ON THE SKIN. AFTER 12 HOURS OF SHEER HELL DURING WHICH WE RECEIVED LITTLE TO NO COOPERATION FROM THE OWNER (WHO ACTUALLY LIVED 30 FEET AWAY, ON THE PROPERTY, IN A GARAGE...ALSO NEVER DISCLOSED), WE ABANDONED THE PROPERTY. THIS RENTAL IS A SCAM!! DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING ON THE WEBSITE OR ANYTHING THE OWNER TELLS YOU. BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE OTHER REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND IT'S PROPRIETOR. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PRIOR COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS OWNER FILED WITH THE VERMONT ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE OWNER UNTIL AFTER HE HAD SWINDLED US. WE DO NOT WANT HIM TO SCAM ANOTHER FAMILY!!! |
