Joan Thompson and her husband, Ronald Douglas of North Bay Village and Longwood, Florida didn't pay their property taxes for five years. They rented me their apartment at 7933 West Drive PH A, North Bay Village, FL 33141. Since somebody bought the tax lien a year prior, the County records didn't reflect non-payment of property taxes as I do my homework before I rent a home. They were aware that the condo was going to be sold at auction at the time of the lease. They had my $4k deposit. On January 13 the condo was sold at auction. They cashed my $2000 January rent check a day after they no longer were the owners on January 14. $1k of that rent money wasn't theirs since they didn't even own the condo anymore. They fraudently kept $5k of my money. They live in a 6,000 square foot home in Longwood, Florida and drive a new Audi, yet kept my money.in spite of many attempt, they refuse to return my money to me. Under Florida law, rent deposits are not to be comingled and kept in a separate bank account and are not to be touched. Keller Williams at 1680 Meridien, Miami Beach, 33139 was their agent and took my deposit and facilitated the transaction, yet refuse to return my calls.
