My daughter Dawn who is disabled was so excited when she rented a duplex from this man. She can't afford much since she only gets a small SSI ck. It was very small 1 bedroom, 1 bath, small kitchen & small living room but she loved it & was independent. She liked him & thought she could trust him. She started to get elec bills in the 80's & 90's then as soon as April came & it got hot & air was on it started every month got higher & higher into 164., 259,224, 226. She told him & asked him to ck into this it can't be. He looked sd no reason, she called again, he sd oh you like it cold. She got turned off a couple of times, had no elec & borrowed from us, went to churches for help.
Well I got tired of her upset all the time & living w/no air since she was afraid to turn it on but that didn't change anything. Well I called an A/C place they took one look upstairs & sd they would not work on it it was a total mess & that she was cooling the attic & she was also supplying neighbors. I called the County since there was mold too. They came & sd many violations. He showed up today & was mad that we called the County, sd he was fixing it by putting in a return duct. She asked about the 1,550.in elec bills she paid & now another bill for 237. Due tues or she gets shut off plus another one due in Oct for 250. He said that's your problem! I never thought he was a slum lord, we liked him but to do this to a disabled person?
