OK, Nick Narang seems like a nice guy on the surface. However he is the biggest scum bag around. I decided to move back to Santa barbara CA, upon searching for a place to live I came across these gorgeous condos, they were called lavender court. I met nick and his associates and began negotiating to move in. Being young and unfamiliar to with all the legalities and guidelines of the california state laws pertaining to rental agreements and guidelines. So i proceeded to give nick nearly 6000$ which was to cover 1st last and security. I move in immediately and this is where the troubles began. Upon moving in I noticed there was no Air conditioning even though narang and his realtor advertised the unit as luxury, and most serious was a gas leak that occurred twice in a matter of 3 days which required me to leave the property for one day while the gas company fixed the problem.
This is the point I started having serious concerns, I contacted Mr. Narang in regards to the air conditioning and also the the gas leak, he proceeded to tell me the unit i moved in was a low income apartment, thus meaning he lied about it being a luxury condo. He became flustered and offered me a different condo in the same complex, I accepted. Upon my living in the relocated condo in the same complex I began to some research and found mr. Narang was not promoted by california state laws to require me to pay 3 months equal to rent. Meaning I could be charged to 2 months of rent and a cleaning deposit which should be less than rent. I confronted nick about this and he gave me the run around every time I attempted to contact nick and his office. Weeks followed and I began wondering why the complex was almost completely empty? Turns out nick had been in trouble with the city of carpinteria because he was granted approval to build..in nicks proposal he wanted to build a low income complex for low income family's that other wise wouldn't be able to afford such living.in the almost 2 years since Lavender court had been built Mr. Narang had not sold 1 condo and had began leasing them as luxury condos. This is why the city of carpinteria and also the community had strong resentments towards Narang. Once this news broke in the news papers in carpinteria, the few people living in the complex began to speak about the matter and it came to light nick had filled for bankruptcy and Lavender court had been forclosed on. This was late news to me because nick placed a stop on the mail delivered to my residence, other residents received the letters from the bank informing us of the foreclosure.
When i tried to contact Mr. Narang with hopes of finding out some information he became very unavailiblseup to this point I had paid nick rent in cash which is the same way I paid for the moving cost. When he evicted me he stated I was 2 months behind on rent, which was not true since I paid him in cash each time. This is the point where I stopped paying rent.
In the month I lived there without paying rent Nick Narang proceeded to turn my gas off and illegal entered my residence and stole items from my room. I really need help because i know for a fact this guy is a crook and needs his just punishment, so if anyone can assist me It would be greatly appreciated. I will also be contact the consumer affairs office in hopes they will assist in helping me recovery my deposit.
