FRUSTRATED AND SICK OF TOLD LIES. SIGNED ON PURCHASE OCT. 10, 2010 AND STILL NOT RECEIVED MY DEPOSIT BACK FROM WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN TO RENT

By STACEYDOTTE

I HAD MOVED BACK TO KANSAS CITY DUE TO MY MOTHER WHO I TAKE CARE OF NEEDING SURGERY.  SHE WANTED TO BE CLOSER TO MY LIL BROTHER.  ANYWAYS IT WAS A NIGHT MARE FROM HE–.  THE FIRST PLACE WE MOVED INTO WAS A DISASTER.  AFTER TWO MONTHS OF NOTHING THERE BEING FIXED OR DONE RIGHT I TOLD THAT MAN THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO MOVE THAT IT WASN’T WORKING.  BUT I COULD EXPLAIN THAT STORY BUT DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME.  SO I FIND THIS PLACE AND THE LADY LED  ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE RENT TO OWN.  WHICH I WAS HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I FIND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS ONLY RENTING.  BUT WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN THERE WAS ALOT OF THINGS THAT WAS SUPOSE TO GET FIXED.  THE DECK HERE IS AWFUL.  I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED AND FIXED.  THE CARPETS WERE FILTHY AND THE LAND LORD SAID THEY WERE GIONG TO PUT NEW IN AND IF I DIDN’T MIND IF THAT HAPPENED.  i WAS LIKE GREAT BUT I EVEN SUGGESTED THAT IF THEY HAD THEIR OWN CARPET CLEANER THEY USED I WOULD GO AHEAD AND CLEAN THEM SINCE THEY WERE SO BUSY WITH OTHER PLACES HERE FIRST.  NEVER WAS BROUGHT THAT TO DO THAT.  DECK WAS NEVER TOUCHED OR EVEN LOOKED AT FOR THAT MATTER.   I WAS ALSO TOLD THEY WOUDL BE BACK TO PAINT AND WELL I AM SURE YOU GET THE PICTURE BY NOW.  I HAD TO CALL 911 OUT DUE TO MY MOTHER’S HEALTH AND THE FIRE MEN AND ONE OF THE AMBULANCE GUYS WERE LIKE,  THAT NEEDS FIXED THAT IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND IF SOMEONE WAS TO GET HURT THAT WOULD BE A BIG ORDEAL.  I WAS LIKE I ONLY RENT THE TRAILER AND LOT.  I WAS LIKE IS THAT SUPOSE TO BE MY RESPONSIBLITY TO FIX THAT.  I MEAN I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WHO NOT ONLY HAS A CHILD WHO IS ON DISABILTY BUT ALSO MY MOTHER PLUS MY DAUGHTER LIVES HERE ALSO. 
OK SO THIS WAS SUPOSE TO HAVE A REFRIGERATOR AND STOVE.  WELL ONLY CAME WITH  A STOVE.  I HAD ASKED THE LAND LORD IF I COULD BUY THIS SHED THAT WAS AT ANOTHER TRAILER AND SHE TOLD ME KNOW THAT IT WAS BEING SOLD WITH THAT SPECIFIC TRAILER.  I ONLY COME HOME A WEEK LATER TO SEE IT ACROSS THE STREET AT ANOTHER TRAILER.   SO I INFORM HER THAT THE PEOPLE ACROS THE STREET FROM ME HAD TOOK THAT SHED I WANTED TO BUY AND SHE WAS LIKE YEAH I KNOW.  OHHHH. 
OK SO I MOVED IN 8/01/2009.  I WAS TO PAY 350.00 RENT ON THE TRAILER AND 339.00 FOR LOT RENT.  PLUS WATER AND SEWER IS ON THAT ALSO.  WHICH IS NEVER THE SAME AMOUNT AND MINE IS ALWAYS MORE THAN A FRIEND OF MINE UP HERE AND SHE EVEN SAID SHE HAD NEVER PAID THAT MUCH ON WATER AND SEWER.  OK SO THE SPECIAL WAS FIRST MONTH FREE I ONLY HAD TO PAY THE 350.00 DEPOSIT.  MY UNCLE CAME UP AND GAVE ME A CHECK FOR 689.00 LIKE A COUPLE DAYS LATER.  SO I TOOK THAT TO THE LAND LADY AND WAS LIKE HERE IS NEXT MONTHS RENT WITHOUT PAYMENT FOR WATER AND SEWER.  SHE WAS HAPPY ABOUT THAT.  ANYWAYS I WENT AND BOUGHT A THERMASTAT FOR THE WALL CUZ THE FURNACE OR CENTRAL AIR CONSTANTLY RAN AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET UP TO TURN IT OFF AND ON.  I REQUESTED WORK TO BE DONE ON PIPES  UNDERTRAILER BROKE, FOR SCREENS TO BE PUT ON WONDOWS LIKE I WAS TOLD WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, DECK TO BE REDONE SINCE THERE WAS NO FOOTING NOR SAFE.  NEVER WAS DONE.  SO I TOOK A FLOOR JACK AND LIFTED IT UP AND STACK CONCRETE BLOCKS  UNDER IT TO GIVE IT SUPPORT AND LEVEL IT OUT AND PUT IT BACK UP AGAINST THE TRAILE SINCE IT WAS PULLING AWAY FROM IT. 
OK ENOGH OF ALL OF THIS.  SINCE I SIGNED ON OCT.10TH, 2010.  I HAVE REQUESTED MY DEPOSIT AND THEY TRIED MAKING ME THINK THAT I DIDN’T HAVE ONE.  THEN IT WAS CAN YOU GET A COPY OF THAT CHECK FOR CORPORATE.  SO I GO TO THE BANK HAD TO PAY 35.00 FOR THEM TO SEARCH BACK FOR THAT.  GAVE THAT TO KATHY UP IN THE OFFICE.  I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT MONEY OR EVEN A CREDIT ADDED TO MY ACCOUNT.  WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW WAS A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAS A FEW RENTAL PROPERTIES TOLD ME THAT SINCE THEY WERE WAY PASSED THE 30 DAYS OF GETTING IT BACK TO ME THEY CAN BE CHARGED UP TO DOUBLE.  IS THAT TRUE?

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME

SINCERELY
