lying landlord!
DO NOT RENT from the H. and D. Zeker in Wisconsin. I rented for them for a year and when my lease renewal came I signed it and sent it back. After they received my copy back over a month later they changed the terms. When I confronted them I was screamed at and swore at that I told them it was ok to change it. Because I confronted them They sent me a notice to vacate. I took them to court and they explained to the judge they thought they were helping me saying I said I might not be able to afford to stay. Which was untrue. They then tried to claim almost $3000 in damage. Which which was crazy seeing the only things we broke were a blind and a glass sheet fr0m a cheap cabinet. They wanted a new unit even though they owned it 20 years. So they didn’t win damages but they claimed it took over 10 hours to clean and remove my belongings. When only a few small items were left and my mother and I cleaned the unit prior to leaving. They are lying landlords that will do anything to get what they want. I’m not writing this to be vindictive but to inform people out there that apparently landlords can break leases without reason and have no consequence but if you as a tenant break a lease you will be responsible for quite a bit. Seems really unfair!!!

Kirkland landlord steals deposits and does not allow bathroom use after hours
I recently moved out a condo in the Houghton/Westview lake area. I moved to 6625 Lakeview Dr., #201, Kirkland Wa October1st, and moved out October 31st. This was a month to month lease. The deposit and rent were $1150 and paid in full. The agreement included a shared kitchen and bath. After the first two days the landlord who lives in the condo, said he might be giving me 10 days notice because he didn’t like the smell of the incense I burned to give relief from the stench coming from the kitchen which he said he would take care of. It was bags and bags of garbage under the kitchen sink and the vanity in the hall by the bathroom. The freezer and fridge are filled with rotting food and the stench is unbearable. The room I rented shared a makeshift wall with the kitchen which makes it so that every sound, especially the plumbing, can be heard loudly enough that you must pause any program you may be watching and all conversation unless you speak just short of yelling.
I was not allowed to use the restroom after 10pm without his calling me and talking about how disturbing the toilet flushing is and how it may not work out because he really doesn’t want roomates. This would be an hour to two hour call on my cell, while I live in the same condo and he is right down the hall. But he would wash his hands, clear his phlegm and wash up in the kitchen at 2am or 3am on a regular basis, and if I complained he threatened to give notice. There is no heat provided in the room and a space heater is necessary but if the heat bill goes up he charges you, even though heat was supposed to be included.
Bottom line is I gave notice, moved out and left the place cleaner than when I moved in. He agreed to give me back my deposit as soon as the new tenant moved in. Two days after I left there was someone in my old room. When I asked him about my deposit he said he was keeping it for cleaning and making the first month free for the new guy. This is the same thing he did to the tenant before me and he also took this mans money. He had informed me a week after i moved in, in passing, that he routinely does this if he can and doesn’t like the tenant and juggles the money and no one gets their deposit back. He was filthy, disgustingly would spit whatever came out of clearing his sinus’ and throat into the kitchen sink and on the faucet and area surrounding the sink.
The worst part was in order to keep the peace for that horrible month it was necessary to urinate in a bucket in the room or if early enough walk up to the PCC before 11pm. There are no locks on the bath, the vanity area or the other rooms, only his and he entered any room and bad mouthed any person to the other roomates regularly.
The condos are run by a condo association and if anyone has any idea how to contact them and inform them of this man’s activities I would appreciate that information.

Stephanie Florek, Rebekah Cornell, Bradley Tucker - Deadbeat tenants in Washington state
Stephanie Florek, Rebekah Cornell, and Bradley Tucker rented a house from me since April 2009 up until October 2009 when I had to evict them due to nearly two months of unpaid rent. Upon inspecting the home, I discovered several thousand dollars in damages. The brand new carpet I had installed before they moved in is stained, has burn holes, cat urine, and feces ground into the carpet. The new paint is scratched up and filthy. There is fecal matter in the coat closet coating the walls and sliding doors. Someone kicked the garage door in and has broken one of the springs on the garage door. They left behind at least 3-4 truckloads of trash, some bagged, some loose litter, most of the bags are leaking foul smelling fluid onto the floor. They left trash all over the property. They never reported damages to me and instead tried to hide them. They put their cigarettes out on my garage floor and left butts all over the backyard and front yard. There are several holes in the walls, missing or broken switch coves, broken or missing closet doors. The house now has sugar ants and a severe fly problem and smells of cat urine and feces. They violated the rental agreement on SEVERAL occasions, including moving people in without my consent.
DO NOT RENT TO THESE PEOPLE! They have no idea how to take care of a rental house - nor do they care at all. I can provide full rental damage information, along with photographs of the property before they moved in and photographs after they moved out.
