I rented a home from this man, however upon moving in there were several things that were wrong first I had to change locks on doors, clean up all garbage in the front and back yard and there were several loads. Several refrigerators and freezers with Rotted food in them, There was no Woodstove in the home I had to replace that, Toilet in bathroom was full of human waste (poop) the toilet could not be used for over a week. Found out the house has Septic and I had it pumped all at my expense.
Last winter pipes froze and water heater went out. I notified him January first with my rent. And it took till March for him to fix. The windows in the house are broken have been since I moved in he told me when he fixed the water heater he had the windows he just needed to find time to replace. I called several times to remind him. June came around he still had done nothing, so I quit paying rent until the windows got fixed. I put 2000 of my own money in to this home. That is not even the best part. The stove that was in the home went out in march and I purchased a used one, he told me it was not his responsiblity, to replace it. Now he is taking me to court to evict me and get this He serves my 16 year old Disable child. I am going to court to get more time due to he served a minor, however I refuse to pay him, until the windows at least the two big one in the back of the house get fix and my Hot water heater gets fixed. It has been two weeks with No hot water I have 5 children.
I have put so much money in to this house and now he tells me that I need to pay him Not to fix these things are you kidding me? I told him I had the money and was more then willing to pay him if he would just fix the things 2 windows and a hot water heater. He told me no I need to pay first. Sorry I think not when it took him 3 months to fix the water heater last time. I told him I am not paying him a thing until things get fixed and I get credit for the things I have paid for. I have 5 children in this home and he made the threat today he was calling Child Protective Services to have my children taken from me because of the living conditions. Only because he won't fix anything. Do NOT rent from this man. He does nothing with the homes he rents. The home i am living in Was condemnable when I moved in, however I have clean the yard and house up quiet a bit and I think I should be credited for that. The home I live in is in Loon Lake Washington however he has houses in spokane and Stevens County Washington
