This apartment is a nightmare. If you LOVE camping you might like living here.
The apartment is not up to code by any means and the City of Grapevine is not concerned. The landlord is currently breaking at least 10 inspection and code laws, when we moved in this number was much higher. The violations currently include: unlawful and unpermitted plumbing, the electric is not up to code, there are holes in the foundation, allowing insects, roaches, and mice into the property, the property is full of mold, there is no heating or air conditioning in 1/3 of the building, there is no ventilation in the bathroom, and the landlord stores building materials, molding attic insulation, on the property.
The city is aware of all of these violations and they do not plan to enforce the code. The home is full of mold and roaches, it is so gross. The house has no insulation so the temperature inside is about 10 degrees different than outside, very fun when it is 110 degrees or 20 degrees.
The landlord, Rik Holliday, is a slumlord, he will threaten you and make your life hell if you try to get normal maintenance done or the property up to code. The house is a danger and should not be lived in.

The Other Side of the Story...

#5REBUTTAL Owner of company

I am the property owner and feel it is important to respond.  The individuals who posted this are Rob ****(Robert **** (((email redacted))) and Megan **** (Megan ****  (((email redacted)))) currently of Grapevine, Texas and formerly of Columbus Ohio.  Robert **** is currently employed with American Eagle Airlines as a Procurement Analyst while Megan **** is believed to be employed with Embassy Suites after short term employment with SuperMedia Hotel and Conference Center (ARAMARIS).  Robert **** also referees football for youth teams and dabbles with selling/trading sports apparel.

The statements posted by Rob **** and Megan **** are not accurate.  Grapevine, Texas has some of the strictest codes in the country.  Furthermore, historic homes have codes that are designed to focus on safety while not taking away from the historic heritage of the dwelling.  In short, the code Violations mentioned by Rob **** and Megan **** are false and inaccurate.  These statements are obviously intended to harm the property owner and cause financial damage.

I view destruction of personal property as a serious matter and will take the required legal measures.  In this case, Robert **** and Megan **** aborted their 16 months lease and also destroyed my property.  I filed suit against original damages of $2,114.54 then amended in court for a sum of $3,461.54. The amounts mentioned are not for loss of rent but for damages only.

Ruling was in favor of me (plaintiff) on 17, September 2012 Cause no. JP03-12-SC0019845, Precinct 3 Tarrant County , Texas.  In summary, Robert **** and Megan **** were found GUILTY.  A JUDGEMENT is on record against Megan **** in said court.

You have discovered this reading while researching for perhaps employment opportunities, mortgage opportunities, rental, insurance, adoption, background check, credit rating...I highly suggest any individual and/or company to perform thorough research on these individuals. There is more information that I can share if desired that I do not wish to publish (at this time).  Feel free to contact me at 817.329.5521 x465

Regards,
R. Holliday
