Couple of items to note: Beware of a requirement in the lease to pay first $200-$250 of any fix. this will come to bite you on everything and is completely unfair! He completely screwed us over on the deposit. we kept the house quite well, and he for a whole list of bogus things charged us for thousands of dollars for no reason. We took him to court, and though a series of avoidance mechanics that clearly showed he has done those before, avoided judgement which I'm sure would have been in our favor. we gave up on suing him purely to avoid continuing to waste our time and effort on this vial man...
