We rented an apartment on 143 14th St Seal Beach, CA 90740, owned by the David Sarinana and Blanca Sarinana; the brokers that run this office and managed by Humberto Lopez who also works out of this office.
They either don't understand the California civic codes that apply to rentals or just use intimidation to violate them.
The two most recent violations were when they tried to increase our rent by double what the legal maximum was, even after sending them copies and references to which laws they were breaking it took two months before they agreed that it was illegal.
Now they're trying to keep our security deposit seemingly out of retaliation. It's been two months since we moved out, legally the deposit has to be returned or accounted for within 21 days. Now two months later they're claiming the whole make ready expense, which is mostly normal wear and tear such and paint and carpet that's at least 7 years old, probably more since it wasn't new when we moved in 7 years ago. Even claiming the paint is ridiculous since there were 3x2 foot holes that were never patched and gashes in the walls from her repair crew when there was a gas leak that took them like a week to fix. A week with no hot water!!!
It's kind of sad to see that someone who claims to be God fearing, and even pastoring a church Action Faith Center in Downey would be so greedy and immoral. read more
