My husband rented from Riley Land and Trust for a year before we were married. The problems began immediately upon signing his lease and taking residence at his apartment. First there was the clogged drain in the kitchen sink for two weeks that he was unable to fix on his own. After attempting to contact them multiple times they finally sent a plumber. Then there was the mold on the ceiling which Riley Land and Trust told him to spray paint! That ceiling also leaked profusely when it rained as well as the windows. Not to mention the toilet was broken for over six months.
As if that werent enough there was the issue with the gas and electric. My husband didnt even have a thermostat to control the temperature that Riley Land and Trust kept so cold he resorted to warming up the place with the oven just to stand stepping out of the shower.
Speaking of gas and electric, the landlord paid for the gas and my husband paid a $200 monthly electric bill for a very small efficiency apartment. When he inquired with the power company he found out there wasnt a landlord account. He located his breaker box and shut everything off to discover he was paying for not only the hall and outdoor lighting but also for the coin operated laundry facilities for nine other tenants. The dryer never shut off automatically and froze his clothes in the winter.
This is only a short list of the issues he experienced with Matthew and Denise Riley. All said and done we think its safe to say Riley Land and Trustyou are slumlords in its truest form!!
