They were taken into my home on the agrrement that they would help out around the house as well as pay rent and a portion of the utilities. 6 months later… Evicted dthem for not paying rent, or utilities, or helping around the house. When they left I went into their room only to find it inhabitable by any self-respecting human being. Moldy dishes, stained carpet, trash and cans strewn about, and to top it off the cats that they owned had used the entire bathroom floor as their litterbox. Disgusting tenants, and generally deadbeat human beings. Beware.

The building is known as “Autumn Woods” to them, and is in the phone book as such, but it was originally “Evergreen Hall”. A large welcome mat in front of the building still mentions EH. 430 Cooper Street in Woodbury, NJ; right at the corner of Cooper and Evergreen, across from the former country club. This is the third management I’ve gone through; all three were horrible for their own reasons (with the first, for example, spending the security of deposits of multiple tenanants). I’ve lived here for 16 years exactly, beginning in March 1994. Suddenly and without any notice, this management, Tameren, decided to not renew the lease. Absolutely no notice was very unprofessional and illegal. Their first names are Osman and Ferihan (but she is known as “Penny"); the last name is...Semen. Is don’t know if it’s pronounced “sea-men” or “sem-en”. He’s the one who does maintentance work (although that’s a stretch) and she supposedly handles business. They also have a couple sons living in apartments who do yard work and cleaning as well. They are more interested in the outside appearance of the place and the land more than anything else. For at least half a year, I had been requesting a receipt with my rent payments. In my case, she never does it—even when she says she’ll “bring it up at the end of the day.” This is a building from the 1800’s. There are plenty of cracks and leaks in my apartment, resulting in spots of black mold ingrained in the wood floor. Locations in the bathroom and bedroom had their wall removed and a board screwed in place “in case they need to get to the pipes again”. The basement floods at times and those spooky collections of wires hanging open down there don’t make me feel comfortable. Getting stuck in that ancient elevator and having to climb up when between floors was not enjoyable either. I know that they rent out garage spaces to people who don’t even live in the building. I guess that is permissable, but I should still be allowed to have my space even though I don’t drive. Someone else in the building has told me that another apartment on the top floor is in need of work on the roof. Perhaps that is why I might need to leave. That, in addition to wall & ceiling cracks, leaks, and mold makes it unhealthy for me, yet they are not right in giving me no notice. I received rental assistance from the Housing Authority; it seems that Tameren doesn’t want to do the repairs that were requested by the HUD. My lawyer feels that rather than fight to stay, it’s a place that could be harmful for me and I can find better.

The owner of the house lost it in foreclosure and I bought the house. I offered to pay her to move and help her. She said she would accept the money and was meeting someone that afternoon about a rental. She then would not talk to me, answer the door, didn’t move, didn’t pay rent and became totally uncooperative. She had a ficticious individual respond to the unlawful detainer and held me up for approximately 2 months before I could take possesion of the house which was granted by the court. Here is the condition of the house: abundant cockroaches, trash, feces, diapers, blackened floors, ruined kitchen and bathrooms. The yard was filled with so much trash that you couldn’t even open the gate. The yard had been used as a bathroom as the water and power were off. The house is destroyed and requires much of it to be replaced and will cost upwards of 35K to fix it.

He is a huge foreign dick. The worst landlord I have ever had.

The two of them entered into a standard lease with a third person. At the lease signing they stated they had no pets and therefore I did not charge a pet deposit. Two months into lease the lies and deceit began, numerous cats had appeared in and around the property. They were immediately described as strays even though I could see the cat food bowl out near the front porch. When I found a domestic cat inside the property along with it’s scratching post and toys, I politely informed the tenants they had to pay the pet deposit. Before the first year was out Lydia had implied at least four times (each time she had to pay the rent) that they were going to have to move out. Each time I asked for the written thirty day notice and each time I received nothing. As the economy depressed, I showed a degree of empathy and lowered the rent. Two months later they were back to the same routine. Collecting rent quickly became a task, as they waited until the last possible moment to pay. On the first maintenance call I had to make, I found the property in a state of utter filth inside. I had to step over piles of soiled clothes and miscellaneous debris covering the master bedroom floor just to get to the bathroom. The final straw was broken when they had a split hot water pipe under the bathroom sink that they let spray a steady fan of hot water for over eight hours. When I responded to the maintenance call and immediately turned off the main water cut-off, I asked why they let it run. The reply given was because Lydia was having a fight with the roommate she wasn’t talking to him. Needless to say, major damage to the flooring and cabinets. This time Lydia again remarked about moving out so I called the bluff and demanded the signed thirty day notice. This time she hurriedly hand scribed a letter of intent. I told them they now had till the end of the month to vacate. Later that night and into the early hours they quietly tried to move all of their belongings out. Once out, they refused to pay the remaining balance of the rent due. When they found another Realtor gullible enough to rent to them, they provided my name as reference but intentionally gave one of their old cell phone numbers that they knew was out of service. I did eventually speak with the realitor and warned them about this deadbeat pair. They still allowed them to rent from them anyway. A small claims case was filed against them in an attempt to recover some of the damage costs.  Tenant Disputes 2010-03-01T13:42:00+00:00 http://www.tenantdispute.com/web/index.php/site/do_not_rent_to_kathy_trainer_in_broward_county_florida/ http://www.tenantdispute.com/web/index.php/site/do_not_rent_to_kathy_trainer_in_broward_county_florida/#When:02:00:00Z LANDLORDS BEWARE!!! If you do not want to be a victim, do not rent to this woman, Kathy Trainer. She will sign a lease and then turn around and use the Florida Statutes so that she can walk away from lease and not pay her rent. She shelters animals, and uses the pet clause in the lease you provided to say that she may have pets. She will send you notice by certified mail within the required 7 days per Fla. Statutes that she is moving out but not to bother her or visit her for she will call 911 for she feels for her safety of herself and her property , thereby eliminating a need for a “walk through” when she moves out (I can’t wait to see what shape the duplex is in when she finally leaves this weekend with her dogs). She feels “victimized” and that preferential treatment is given to male tenants over her. She has been costly, a bad tenant, and has moved around in Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas for over a decade, claiming the same treatment of previous landlords ( no references, or false reference ) DO NOT BECOME ANOTHER VICTIM. DO NOT RENT TO KATHY TRAINER OF FORT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA. If this warning will save one, just one, landlord from this Certifiable Bad Tenant (CBT), then my quest has been a success.

This woman did nothing but complain over frivilous issues and threaten to sue everyone around.  We had to evict her because she was sneaking in dogs and breeding them in our home without permission.  She cost us upwards of $5000 in repairs because she let her dogs use our house as their personal bathroom which caused extensive damage and odor.  She left garbage everywhere also.  What is more important is the fact that she allowed her six year old daughter to live in such disgusting squallor.  Someone should really notify CPS on a mother like this.  Feel free to contact me for more info concerning this tenant.  save the headache, don’t rent to her.

I checked on my application that i wanted to be notified if anyone ever had to enter my apartment.  This has never been done. I have never received a phone call.  They just walk right on in and do there thing while usually I’m at work.  I’ve come home to find that my bathroom was flooded twice from a clogged toilet upstairs and to see that someone was in my house to clean it up and no phone call or note.  Did see that they had taken things out of my bathroom and used some of my toilet paper to clean it up and left it in my garbage can. Oh goody.  #2 I had received bed bugs from god knows who in this god forsaken building. I looked up the regulations on that and it said that they legally had to take care of my problem in two weeks tops.  Well it took me two weeks of angry messages until finally getting a hold of someone and then they sent out an exterminator which within those two weeks i had to do the job myself because I’m allergic.  When he finally did come...no phone call of course just a knock on my door..they did have the courtesy to leave a note under my door.  But he did his thing and told me he would come back the next week for a second treatment...series of treatments is what it takes so i’ve heard. He never came back nor was a phone call ever made to follow up with me on how the situation was.  I still have them by the way.  Yippy.  My guess is it saved them a pretty penny by only having him come by once.  #3 I started my lease agreement in April for 6 months.  Never once have i renewed my lease or have they let me know that it was up.  And they decided to raise my rent twice now not knowing where the lease starts or ends.  I’m guessing they make it up as they go.  They gave me a letter thrown in front of my door the first time and the second time i never received anything.  Knowing that i didn’t major in telepathy i paid the normal amount only to recieve a letter saying that i didn’t pay my rent in full and that now i owe 200$!!! My rent was only 20$ short.  I must have been trying to make one hell of a statement by knowing my rent had been raised and not paying the 20$.  They also said in the letter that if i didn’t pay by a certain date...action was going to be taken in accessing my apartment back. I have never been late on payment for rent nor have i ever been loud or received a noise complaint.  I am what you would call the perfect neighbor.  But yet this is what i receive in return from my property.  #4 NOISE! When i first moved in i had children who lived above me and a single mom downstairs. Both which loved to bump their music like they wanted to be the next Hustle & flow.  I would call the cops and have the come out to my apt at the least twice a week.  They started coming out sooooo often that they were working with me to get these people evicted.  They told me they could hear the base from they’re car in the parking lot..not only hear it but feel.  Sure did a # on me being connected to the same wall.  Sometimes they would play their music at the same time driving me insane.  I once had to knock on the door of someone who was having a party at 2 in the morning.  I was laughed at....then called the cops...they came....and when they left. They continued.  Which i then called again.  And then they just went to party somewhere else i presume.  I had left numerous messages with my building.  Buidling security.  Calling my 24 on call security.  Leaving messages with higher ranking management.  NOTHING finally i ended up writing very angry letters to these 2 tenants saying that i will not stop until they’re evicted.  It finally stopped, but not because my building took action because i spent about 5 months trying to evict them. And lived like that for all those months.  #5 After that horrific note about my rent not being paid in full.  I called the office right away.  LEft a message.  two days later called again.  Then i called my building security when it hit the week mark to track down the person who managed the building.  They said they emailed him my info.  four days later nothing.  I called again left messages...2 days later again! Now today Jan/21/2010 it has hit the two week mark five days after they said they’d take my apartment from me if they didn’t see 200$ and nothing.  No one has yet contacted me on anything.  I am furious and i know that this cannot be legal..  I want to take legal action against this building and the time i’ve spent out of my busy life doing they’re job. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. THIS IS NOT OK!!
