Marv Rousselow, LeaseOwnhomes.com Mr. Rousselow lease our home to be purchased in 3 years. He took $9600 from the tenants and did not do to them as promised them. As a consequence tenants did lots of damage to our house and moved out. Now we are stock with the repairs and he is not paying for the damages. Scottsdale Arizona
i am writing this to expose this fraud individual and his company. we advertised our house for rent in Craigs list. He contact us and offered to lease our house with the option of purchasing with current market value plus %5 per year. We trusted and said ok. He wrote a contract with a young couple from Prescott Az. They moved in and set up an escrow account and paid their rent for almost a year and broke the contract because the tenant said his wife has left him and he cannot afford the rent. Theen we contacted mr. Rousselow and he offered to find another family for us.
We agreed by saying that he finds a family with good credit and stable job. After couple of weeks he wrote to us the he has found a family For the house. Then his dishonesty and fraudulent actions started. When the family moved from Ohio to Az he had already collected his hefty $9600( we found this out from tenant later) he did not greet them at the house and did not setup an account for the rent payment. Tenants tried to meet him in person and he did not meet them. When I asked him through email about these he wrote back that his wife is in ICU and he has to go to hospital.
the next day he claimed he is sick too. So the tenant start saying that they are scammed and did not want to pay the rent to us until they meet mr. Rousselow. Long story short the tenant moved ou after two months. And them we found out that the tenants were not credit worthy people and thie Transactions were in cats have and drug related. We believe Mr. Rousselow knew all about them and he got his money and did not want to meet thE tenants and they were very angry with him. They paid only one month rent with cash and left With almost $3000 damage to the house.
When I contacted mr. Rousselow about it he replied that my home insurance should cover it and he will not pay for the damages. I believe Mr. Rousselow is a con and fraud and prays on people to make easy money and leave them in the cold. i can take him to small claims court but I don't have time and patience. So I am writing this ripoff report to warn other people that might become his future victim. I an also planing to complain this case to Az AG office. JUST be AWARE of Marv Rousselow and Leaseownhomes.com' s scam!
