Adalberto Hernandez, Property Address: 3370 SW 150th Lane Rd Ocala, Florida 34473
Deposit Amount : usp_custom_field : 1950
After over 4 years of tenancy, NOT A SINGLE late payment, numerous costly repairs (garbage disposal, ac capacitor replacement and coil cleaning, 3x pool pump replacement, pool pump timer replacement, numerous fence repairs, over stove microwave replacement, fridge defrost timer replacement, plumbing leak repairs, bath tile repairs, insect remediation, patio roof repair, etc.) at my own expense, after moving into a dirty home with a algae ridden pool, with misc. former tenant or owner items scattered about the property, with the home needing numerous repairs, ALL window treatments and a window repair, this landlord is attempting to steal $1400 of my $1950 security deposit. I received the notice of intent to withhold a portion of the deposit on Tuesday, March 1st and communicated with the Property Manager, Jacob Pittas (Remax Allstars Realty) that I intended to object to those bogus charges. I saved this owner THOUSANDS in repairs on HIS home during my stay so I am furious that he would attempt to retain even ONE DOLLAR of my deposit. I completed most repairs on my own because they either took extremely long to repair anything, wouldn’t show up and the Owner once stated to my face that he would not tolerate “high maintenance tenants”. I removed every single item that belonged to me from that property (only leaving behind what was there when I moved in) and hauled all trash to the curb to be collected by my trash collection company account, Waste Prop (even extended it an additional week so they might pick up anything left behind). I swept and mopped all the floors and wiped down all counters and cleaned the fridge. THERE IS NO EXCUSE for him to retain my deposit when I left it cleaner than I received it!
