So we rented a house from a guy named Jon Farleo who owns Red Door Realty and JMF Property Mang. (he is not the owner just manages the house) In Olean NY. All was going well for the first few months and then stuff started going wrong with the house, like the downstairs has a leak from the garage that ran into the family room that was right next to it, so we called him and for about 2 months he did nothing about it, so finally when we told him that there was black mold in the house he finally sent a "handyman" up there to take a look, and you know what the handyman did to get rid of the mold, he sprayed it with some bleach and water (what a great way to get rid of it. Lol) so after him basically not doing anything about the problem we get a phone call from him telling us that one of the owners was killed in a car accident and they wanted to sell the house (mind you we were about 4 months into a one year lease) so he asks me if I would be interested in purchasing the house and I told him we might be and we would look for financing if we decided to purchase it and I would be in contact with him if we were intested.
Not even 1 week later this guy starts calling me asking me what was going on with my financing and if I was gonna buy it I told him when we made a decision we would be in contact with him, but he couldn't wait he started calling us 3-4 times a week asking us whether we were going to buy it or not (never meet anyone so pushy) it got to the point where I had to ask him to quit calling us because it was becoming annoying, so I went down and wanted to get a copy of my lease because I wanted to make sure I was covered, when I went to get a copy of my lease come to find out that he had never even signed the lease, he signed it right in front of me after we had been living there for about 5 months (can we say illegal?) so I got my copy and left.
Later we decided not to buy the house because it wasn't even close to worth the asking price and we told him that we would pass, but we still had time left on our lease so we would weigh our options and if we could find a new place we would move so that he could sell the house. All of a sudden this guy starts calling again and asking can I show the house, And I told him No We are private people and don't want anyone in our house, this really pissed him off, pissed him off to the point where he sent us a letter stating that we breached our lease by hanging our lcd tv on the wall (only uses 2 small screws. Lol what a joke) so finally we found a new place and decided to do him a favor and move out.
Because he was practically begging us to move so he could sell it, (he must not sell to many house's and really needs the money) so we move out and leave the property in better condition then when we moved in, this guy is making all these stupid claims of how we breached the lease with the most stupid excuses so he doesn't have to give us our security deposit back. This is what it breaks down to, we rent house, shit happens owner and realestate agent wanna sell house, tenants don't wanna buy house, pisses realestate agent off, and now he is trying to find any excuse not to give us our security deposit back?
What a Joke, this isn't about the money because I don't need it, it is about moral and honesty which Jon Farleo of Red Door Realty and JMF property mang of OLEAN NY don't HAVE! If your ever thinking about renting or buying a house from this guy THink Twice because you will regret it in the long run. I will be suing Jon Farleo and any company he represents. See you in court Jon
