| Complaint |
Keith Briggs, owner of the house, told us that there was no physical address for the house when we first asked him for it. Only after we paid our $300 deposit would he give us the address. The house is advertised as a 4BR 3 Bath home. We only found 2 baths. There was a locked door in the basement... maybe it was the 3rd bath but it was not available to us. Only found 4 Bedrooms. There was a bunk bed in the basement but the room cannot be called a bedroom as most of the space is taken up by a large furnace. The rails on the deck were very loose and dangerous as the house was on a mountainside. Several of the windows would not lock. The advertised fenced pet area was not usable due to weeds knee high. All of the gounds were knee high in weeds. I had to ask for a contract and when it was signed he wanted the rent in full. I reminded him on the contract agreement that full rent wasn't due until 2 months prior to arrival which was 5 months away. He said he forgot..things were hectic there. When I did send the rent, he complained of the method and the fact that I sent it certified registered mail. He said didn't want to have to go to the post office. He was going to charge me $15 to check the cahsiers check out until I told him that was a hidden fee. He did drop the fee. My chief complaint is that his house manual said carpet spills are $10. He accused us of a LARGE carpet stain in the master bedroom and kept $55 of our $300 deposit. There was a stain on the carpet when we arrived and his wife was working on it and she stated that she had cleaned the carpet and spots were showing up. He said the stain we supposedly made was seen by a black light. He accuses my dogs. My dogs weigh 3 lbs and were always crated when we weren't there and when we were there, they were downstairs with us. They can't make a LARGE anything. We left the house in immaculate condition. They even brought over their own trash for us to put out with trash from the house. We were worried from the beginning about how honest he was and unfortunately, our worries were confirmed. Nice home, beautiful view, but beware of the owner. He will find something wrong to keep part of your deposit. |
