[T77911S]

here are his claims.
he had to have the floors refinished.(they are wood). that cost $700. he kept our deposit of $1500 which more than covered the floor.

unpaid electric bill of $800
there was nothing in the contract about paying him for the electric, even though it is in his name.
the problem is there are 2 units, ours and another one, on one electric bill, so he paid it and it was "included" in the rent. at the end of the year, if he wanted more money he would send us a bill, although we never got to see actual receipts of what he paid. again. that 800 could come out of the deposit we never got back.

losses due to 15 months left on our rent.
we moved out in nov. new tenant moved in dec. no loss of money to him.

late fees of around $3k.
no itemized bill or breakdown of where these "late" fees come from. we never received any bill from him other than him wanting money, including the late fee.


we ran into the lady that worked at the place next to us. when their lease was up, they moved out. he kept their deposit and demanded more money for "other" things. i think he has a suit against them. this is just the basics and of course, there may be more to what we were told, but it seems like this is the norm with him.


this will go before a regular court, not a magistrate due to his claim of almost $10k.
the ex judge next door said it could take well over a year to go to court.
