I went and look at his property on town rd I view it i wanted the place he had me meet him there he ask me questions what I didn’t want in the place I ask him he remove the carpet he agreed I gave him a partial deposit and he gave me a written document that it was mine I informed my previous manager I was moving and submitted a 30 day notice two days later he had me informed that he rented to someone else for higher rent this man deceived me and know I’m left without no home yes he is a manipulator for sure bad business He’s all about the mighty dollar and taking advantage of people to be a 74 year old man and a landlord

Thank you for sharing. She did not sign a lease, and unfortunately, failed to provide the correct amount of money. But I accepted it. Then she began to be picky, and I began to feel we would not be a good fit for her, so I returned her money. We hope she finds something she likes.Ronald Smith Rental Properties Response

The deposit was $1,050 for the house. She showed up late with $250 and then promised to pay another $200 which she did not do. She walked through the to be re-modeled house and was really picky as to things that she wanted done. I began to realize that this may actually not be a good fit and my maintenance man felt the same way. She now claims that she would have nowhere to live; however, when I asked her why, with a supposed $6,800 monthly income, she had almost no money, she said that she had 2 houses in California and had to pay the mortgages. She is not homeless. I really dodged a bullet and rented to a great previous renter!Review from Brian H

I have lived on King Ave for 4 years, I didn't have problems until about 2 years ago. I had bed bugs and inform ***, he contact the building manger who said he would get it clean up, well after 3 weeks of waiting nothing happen. So I had to handle it pay with my own money ( big mistake). After I had a stroke and return home he call me and ask if I could remove my bicycle since I was not using it, when I refuse he terminated my lease. after dealing with his harassment I was force to leave. I would not live in any of his buildings he is the very definition of a slum landlord. he will take and take but never try to help.Ronald Smith Rental Properties Response

Thank you for sharing. This individual lived in a home close to Battelle, which is a perfectly nice area. He was quite elderly, and unable to ride his bike safely any longer. After four years, he needed more care and moved.Ronald Smith Rental Properties Response

The renter lived like a real slob who crammed his room such that a person could hardly walk in! This is a nice rooming house that is just south of the OSU Hospital in a great area. I did make him remove both his van, which was an eyesore and his bike that he was unable to ride. I did tell him that he really needed to live in assisted living due to his stroke. He refused to move onto the first floor in a room that I offered and I did have to eventually evict him due to non-payment of rent. It became a really bad fit to have him there.
