Jude is a bully and a slumlord! I wish I could rate negative stars in this review.
During the most difficult and stressful time of my life, he made it even more stressful. My mom had just passed away and I decided to move closer to my dad and other family. I was trying to find a new home to move into and the place I chose was not being good with communicating with me about the move in date. So, between dealing with my moms passing and getting things settled with my moms husband, it was a very busy and hard time for me.
With everything going on, the date of moving out was uncertain. I was paying monthly instead of signing a new lease. He kept trying to get me to sign a new lease but I needed to get out of that area. Finally I received confirmation of my move in date for my new place. I was able to give him a real move out date now and I was getting my stuff packed up while he kept trying to tell me that I needed to sign a new lease (very persistently). I could tell that he was getting desperate to find someone to move into my place. Then as the time got closer to me moving out, he would tell me that I could just avoid this stress by staying and signing a new lease. Then he'd tell me that people were waiting to move in.
I was a couple of days late moving out because I had to go to the emergency room because of a major panic attack and constant anxiety. He kept breathing down my back. He came over and was harassing me as I was loading up my uhaul, telling me that there were people waiting to unload their uhaul and move in.... this was not true. The place was still vacant for a while after I had moved out. He was just trying to stress me out even more and push me to stay and sign another lease.
During the time that I was loading up the uhaul, I had put a barbecue on the sidewalk next to the uhaul with a "free" sign on it and Jude asked if it was mine. I was exhausted and dealing with anxiety, so I just told him that it wasn't. In front of my dad, he told me that he was an interrogator for the military at one point and told me to look into his eyes.....REALLY????so, I fessed up to him and packed up the barbecue. (That wasn't just a little bit over the top?!? Who does that stuff??) The place was still vacant for a while after I had moved out. He was just trying to stress me out even more and push me to stay and sign another lease.
Finally I moved out and Jude was deciding how much to deduct from my deposit. It was a $1,300.00 deposit when I moved in. After he had remarked at how good of condition the place was in as I was moving out, he tried charging me for so many things. I had cutting boards all over the counter tops but the previous tenants must had left a couple chop marks on the counter. I took tons of pictures when I moved in, and it was a good thing because he kept finding things that he wanted to charge me for. I even left behind a small pantry type unit that was tasteful and he said he'd like. He charged me to remove it!? He ended up charging me around $600.00 for a place in barely lived in condition. It was ridiculous! There wasn't even wear and tear.
When I moved in originally, the property management company at the time was very kind and really good about maintenance. If I had any sort of issue, they were there within 72 hours. I couldn't get Jude to help me with anything. I had only one heater in my unit and it started acting funny and not responding to the thermostat. He mentioned how he was working on replacing the heaters in other units because of that same issue but he never got around to replacing mine. I had to turn the thermostat off and buy a portable heater.
I also was put in a situation where I needed to watch a friends small and very well behaved dog for a couple of days. I didn't think to mention it to him because the management company that I had signed the original lease with, had no problems with small dogs or cats. he said he was bringing a black light over and might have to fumigate all units. he said he was bringing a black light over and might have to fumigate all units.
I have more bizarre incidents to mention, but my time is more valuable and I think you get the point
