My friend and I signed a lease in March with Amy. She seemed like should would be a really great landlord. The first thing that went wrong was we hadn't heard from her for a couple of months. She agreed to replace the screens in the windows, replace bathroom and kitchen cabinets. We were told the cabinets wouldn't be replaced until sometime in December. Now we are being told it won't be until January.
Our next big problem was the hole that was in the roof. I would come home and hear something running around above the ceiling in the kitchen. She had exterminators come out but all they could do was set traps. She finally hired someone to replace the shingles and fix the hole. It took these people well into a month to finish the job, or we thought they finished. I recently came home to something scratching in the bathroom. It was late in the evening and I was going to take care of it the next day. I was lying in my bed and heard a crash. A raccoon had fallen from the ceiling into the bathtub. I saw the raccoon come into my room out of the corner of my eye. I shut the door and ran upstairs to my roommate. While we were trying to get the raccoon out, my roommate called our landlord. She was laughing because she thought it was funny. She told us there was nothing she could do.
My father has sent her emails saying he would make repairs at a fairly low price or she needed to hire someone. She agreed to fix them herself. We are still waiting on ALL the repairs. This has been going on for about three-four months out of the six we have lived here. She never calls us, never stops by, and never comes to make repairs. We were told in october that we would have gravel put out back to cover our parking spot/"mud swamp." I finally called her two months later and asked about it. She said they would do it within the week. I received a text to move my car out front so that they could pour gravel out back. They were supposed to do all of this at five but no one ever showed up.
If you come across this doing a search on this slumlord, please don't make any deals with her or trust her. She can't fulfill promises or inform us when her plans change.
