Horrible landlord

Posted 5 years ago

Do not rent this place or rent from the landlord at all (he's one of the main ones in Fayette and he's an a**hole). The garage is leaning and looks like its going to fall over at any moment. There are two big trees on the property that are near the house or garage that are both dead/dying and will probably fall on the house or garage at some point as the landlord never cut them down, no matter how many times I asked him too (every big wind storm knocked down bigger and bigger branches and the house and my car almost got damaged several times. The outside faucet, for a garden hose, leaks really badly from the handle and, after looking at it, the landlord claimed it was my hose that was leaking, so I took the hose off later and it still leaked just the same and I told him that, he did nothing. When I moved in, the landlord said he was ok with me using thumbtacks on the walls, but after moving out, he tried to use the holes as part of the reason why he wouldn't give any amount of the security deposit back (which he still refuses to give any of it back). He also used broken screens as an excuse (which were all like that when I moved in, even though he claims he replaced them all a few months before I moved in). The neighbors were also a bit of a problem, their little kid (maybe 5 or 6 years old) always plays outside unsupervised and constantly was running around my yard and swinging on my metal clothes line poles and put rocks in my mailbox and once even went into the garage. The landlord is also d*** about the lawn, if you waited one day too long to mow the grass, he'd come over and do it himself and run over anything you have outside and call it trash (he ran over all three of my walkway lights, my garden hose, and complained about "the rocks in the yard" (the fire pit that he said was ok to have and who has a ground fire pit without lining it with rocks? The guy's an idiot). He's also impossible to get in contact with, the only way I've been able to reach him is by texting, he never answers my phone calls. Also, the front door is almost impossible to get closed, like if you open it, it takes like 50 tries to get it to close again. I have never before had a bad experience with a landlord and compared to this jerk, I think I've just about seen the worst. DO NOT RENT
