Bob Haycox will NOT return your security deposit. DO NOT be fooled by his friendly demeanor. I rented a condo from Bob Haycox for 2 and 1/2 years. Originally we signed a rent to own agreement, which we later changed to a rental agreement because we were "growing" our family. Because I planned to purchase the home, I removed wallpaper out of the kitchen, dining room and two bedrooms. I then painted the entire house. The condo looked 110% better when we moved out than when we moved in.in addition, I had an infant during the time I was there so I was compulsive about making sure the carpets were clean.
When I moved out, Bob Haycox and I did a walk through during which time he brought nothing to my attention that was wrong. He told me he had 30 days to return my security deposit. He never did. A couple months later, he said we did not provide a forwarding address within 30 days, so he was no longer obligated to pay, plus there was some damage. There was NO damage with the exception of an area on the vinyl flooring that was there when we moved in and I did email him my forwarding address.
He will not take our calls, and left the above message on my husbands work vm at 7:30am. He will not give me a list of what was wrong or what the issues are that make up the $1200 he's keeping.
I never paid my rent late, even sent him work for buisness forms business. And to not even take my calls is dis-respectful and unprofessional. I also know several other people who he did not return deposits to. If you are renting from him, or considering renting from him, I would highly recommend withholding your last two months rent because he will not return your money. I am not an unreasonable person, and if there was damage or any reason I should not be getting my deposit back I would not be disputing this at all.
