Evicted from Kucera Court in Murrieta, California, January 2010, on account of failing to pay rent, utilities (was cut off by the gas company), and violating several parts of the lease.
Christopher Michael Goodman, a 6’6” tall male, 300 pounds, white, signed a lease to rent a 3 br SFR on Kucera Court, in the city of Murrieta, California. He immediately violated the lease by bringing in an unauthorized pet (a pit-bull puppy) and parking several cars on the street interfering with the neighbors (his business was buying and selling automobiles). He apparently had unauthorized tenants living at the property as evidenced by mail addressed to people not on the lease. He failed to pay rent on the 3rd month of tenancy and avoided all calls by property manager. Only after getting served an eviction summons did he make contact offering to pay the rent (2 weeks late and after $800 was already spent in legal fees). He answered the summons, but lost in court. Still owes over $1,100. Also owes the utility companies several hundreds of dollars. Left the property a complete mess and damaged the bathtub, a brand new stove, and his dog chewed the wiring on the A/C unit.
