I worked with Jon Bailey from March 2020 until August 2020. Seems short, right? It was a tumultuous…read moreenough relationship to leave a lasting impression. Jon Bailey rented me and 3 other college students a condo in Incline Village. We met in person, signed a lease, and proceeded to move into the house. 4 months later, in mid August, we received a text message from Mr. Bailey stating that we had received complaints from the neighbors about noise, so he was not renewing the lease at the end of September. Ok, seemed reasonable. TWO DAYS later, some random person knocked on the door and handed us a poorly photo copied piece of paper stating that we had FIVE DAYS to vacate the house, or else we would not get our security deposit back and we would be forcibly removed from the property.
Mr. Bailey then proceeded to tell us that he had potential buyers coming to look at the house, so we needed the entire property to be viewing ready before the end of August. If this was not completed, we would be charged for a number of things including future months rent and no security deposit return. This quick change in situation and severity led to panic among us in the house. We complied with Mr Baileys request, and vacated the property before August 31st, AMID THE RAGING GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
In the following months, Mr. Bailey has repeatedly harassed members of the household stating that there were damages to the house totaling in over 5,000 that we needed to pay, even though he was present for a walkthrough with a house member (a recording of the situation is available), where he stated nothing of the sort. He also has harassed members of the house with vicious text messages about dog abuse that NEVER occurred, and accused us of locking a dog in the garage for months at a time. There are before and after pictures of the house and the way we treated in throughout the our entire stay and NOTHING of the sort ever occurred.
Mr. Bailey has also sent text messages saying that our security deposit check has been mailed back to us, only to send another text 2 days later saying he is going to keep it due to damages. Confusing, right? Did you send the check or didn't you?
In conclusion, if you want a realtor who will go back on every statement he makes, accuse you of untrue damages to the property in an attempt so scam you out of money, and accuse you of dog abuse in some kind of intimidation attempt, Jon Bailey is your guy. I have absolutely no doubt that Jon Bailey took advantage of a group of college students in an attempt to scare and scam us. I am confident that Mr. Baileys actions have been extremely illegal and would not be defendable in court. Jon Bailey forced 4 college students to frantically search for housing, amid the pandemic. He forced 4 Incline Village Community members to spread across the country to their family homes because of the housing shortage in Incline. I, Myself, had to travel back home to West Virginia to stay with my mother for 6 weeks while I searched for other housing in Incline.
My personal recommendation: DO NOT TRUST Jon Bailey or any of his coworkers. We were scammed and abused by this company and its constituents.
