Full deposit not returned!

Posted 4 years ago

DO NOT RENT FROM HIM! He will be very nice and kind at the beginning but when it comes time to return your deposit he will find loop holes in the lease to charge you for items that should not be your responsibility as the tenant. During the freezing Chicago winter, the NEST stopped working so we were without heat for day and half. When we notified him, instead of him coming out and assessing the issue, he sent over a technician and the issue was still not resolved. He still charged the landlord for his visit and in return he deducted that from our deposit. He charged us for painting the bedroom and hallway when we did not damage anything to the walls. He charged us a cleaning fee and items that were there from before on the tile and ceiling. In the end, he is basically charging us for the new stove (the one that was there when we moved in was so old that it did not even have a clock on it), a dish washer that made loud noises and did not clean the dishes, and the Nest that he decided to put in. He will find a way to not return your full deposit and make excuses for keeping it. You have been warned!
