| Complaint |
A few weeks after our stay, I received a check for $70 and a copy of an invoice from the maintenance department for $230 for screen repair. The screens were not damaged by me or my group. One of our group mentioned to me that as he walked around the outside of the house during our stay, he noticed that the screens looked loose, but he didn't feel it needed attention, so we did not report it. After receiving the check, I asked the member of my group to call and explain the situation to Dennis Kerames (home owner). After a few weeks, I still did not receive the money, so I called Dennis and left a message, but I did not hear back him. Then, I sent an email to Karen Kerames (home owner) describing the events that had already occurred. She responded back with a slightly different story, than Dennis' story, about how they found out that the screens were in need of repair. Dennis said the outside maintenance crew noticed the screens were loose, but Karen said that the renters who came in after us notified her that the screens were loose. At this point, I am thinking something doesn't sound right. I have houses before and never had any security deposit money withheld. I am a very good renter with a history of great rental experience. I rented a house last year in Orlando from Curtis Waterman, through VRBO. Curtis was surprised that I left his house in such GREAT condition. I left the Kerames' house in the exact same GREAT condition as I received it. They are asking me to pay for a repair that I had nothing to do with. I am still trying to my remaining $230 mailed to me. It's a nice house, but asking a renter to pay the owner's upkeep is not fair. |
