Takisha Long Deadbeat Tenant (27)

Takisha Long, (or Tekisha Long) was a nightmare tenant that never paid.  She came up with every excuse in the book as to why she was late with all the payments.  From using friends posing as her old landlord when I called for a reference, to posing as bank tellers at the bank when I called “direct line” numbers to figure out why checks were bouncing…

Takisha Long, (or Tekisha Long) was a nightmare tenant that never paid.  She came up with every excuse in the book as to why she was late with all the payments.  From using friends posing as her old landlord when I called for a reference, to posing as bank tellers at the bank when I called “direct line” numbers to figure out why checks were bouncing.

She never paid one cent from the 3 months of rent that she owed us.  She gave ever excuses imaginable about why her bank screwed up, my bank screwed up, etc.  She even tried to lie to the police officer and detective that called her…

Takisha (Tekisha) Long paid me with checks that were for accounts that were closed for a year.  She even paid me with her grandmother’s credit card checks and that bounced also.

Since it is a law in Illinois that if a tenant bounces one rent check it’s a misdemeanor, two, it’s a felony if the money is not paid within 7 days.  I proceeded with the charge but the detective informed me that the District attorney would not prosecute because she has a prior felony of forgery on her record...doesn’t make any sense!  But the good thing is that when someone does a criminal background check, it will appear on her record as pending, so at least that will warn others about her.

We ended up evicting her which took about 1.5 months.  Takisha (tekisha) Long never showed up to court.  We went through our savings so we wouldn’t foreclose since we were paying double mortgage.

I count this $6000+ towards our education in Real Estate, but hopefully others will do their due diligence and check background, landlords, employment history, checking account balance, etc.

NOTE:
I can show anyone copy of her contract, criminal report, police report, eviction notice, copies of bounced check, and the hell we went through.  Anyone looking to hire or do a background check on her, I have all of these documents and can show what a nightmare she caused us when “renting” our condo in the south loop for free.  She made us eat through our savings since we have to pay for 4 months of mortgage to cover this.  This was over 2 years ago...I would be happy to provide the detective name, police dept (16th and state in chicago) where I reported her and and court history docs.

Her email address is takisha_long@netzero.com

Some images I’ve uploaded to show her signature and copies of expired checks:

Mike Jimes - Do not rent to him (25)

This guys ripped me off and never paid rent, damaged my home and didn’t leave when I had the court evict him.  If you want to loose your investment, then rent to him.
