Bryan Christopher Moon Four Seasons Rentals Detroit - Bryan Christopher Moon - Deadbeat Landlord!!! Detroit, Michigan
This man is the owner of Four Seasons Rentals in Detroit
on Woodward Avenue. I rented an apartment in a triplex on Warren
Avenue in March 2012. I came to him with 2 months
deposit and good referrals from my last landlord in warren. First he showed me
one unit saying the other was occupied until the 1st and that it
would be ready for me. The one he showed me looked great and I signed my lease
and paid him 2 months rent. I move in and from the get go things went wrong
with the unit starting with the horrible conditions of the walls and ranging to
the electric heaters and the stove had no knobs. The place was in poor
condition. When I called him he said things would be fixed in a timely manner.
This man never followed through on a single item that would be fixed. I waited
6 months before I finally gave up and resigned myself to living in a dump.
Towards the end of my lease last January I told him I wanted to move out one
month early in February. He told me many people had already contacted him about
renting the unit and that my terminating the lease early would be fine. I told
him it would be fine to show the unit to anyone while I was still in there if
he just gave me a days notice. He said he would rather wait until closer to my
move out date. The last two weeks he never showed anyone the unit and I started
to get suspicious. When I moved out I asked him for my deposit back and he said
I could not have it because I left early! What a jackass! He never keeps his
word about anything! Be warned!

INACCURATE AND MISLEADING
#2REBUTTAL Owner of company

I own the management company that handles the property. I am not the landlord. It is my job to protect the owners interests. The tenant failed to mention that he owned three dogs. The owner of the property was hesitant to rent to someone with so many dogs but he made an exception this
one time. The owner was assured by the tenant that the home and the carpets would be thoroughly cleaned upon his departure.
When he indicated that he planned to move prior to the lease termination I advertised for a new tenant. The plan was to have the new tenant in place to take over the remainder of his lease. I was assured that the unit would be left clean and presentable. It was not. Due to pet odor, dog hair, filth on the walls and pet stains on the carpet I was unable to rent the property until the carpets and the rest of the unit be cleaned.
The cleaning costs and delay caused by the failure of the tenant to leave the home in rentable condition cost the owner of the property money. His costs were covered by the tenants cleaning deposit per the terms of the tenants signed lease agreement.
I know that most pet owners are responsible and dependable but sadly, after this incident, the owner of that property is refusing to rent to pet owners every again.
Bottom line: he lost his deposit for failing to clean up after his dogs, not because he broke his lease and moved out early.
