Complaint Review: Willow Creek Mobile Home dba Oakwood

My fiance' and I found the Mobile home for rent for Six-hundred Fifty ($650.00) dollars and zero cents on Craigslist. We both spoke to Joy at another Mobile home. We were living in New York and moved to Tampa. We did verify with Joy that the amount of the rent was exactly what was stated on Craigslist. Joy stated yes that is correct. We finally got down to Tampa, Florida and Joy sent us to see Nikki at Willow Creek Mobile Home park.

Nikki showed us a mobile home that we looked at and loved it. The power was one. She knew that we just moved down here. We were so excited to move. When my fiance and I asked about the one we looked at, Nikki stated that one was taken and there is another one that she has available. It is right next to the office. We did see that one.  We also have our Two and a half year old daughter. I kept her occupied while my fiance' went in to sign the lease. While Nikki showed us the mobile home, She stated that she sprays once a month. The last page of the lease states, "We are responsible for the pest control."

One of the biggest issues is that the ads that we saw on Craigslist, Majorly FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS From Nikki Serpo and Paul Chad Comingore!

The next thing we know, IT IS NOT A MONTHLY RENT! We were quoted Two-hundred Twenty ($220.95) dollars and Ninety-five cents a week. Wrong! It is now Two-hundred Twenty-five ($225.95) dollars and Ninety-five cents a week. How did it go up by Five ($5.00) dollars?! Nikki Serpo and her upper management knew we just moved here. Neither one of us had a job yet. Nikki stated "We know and we do not have any issues with that." It was also stated my Nikki that there is laundry facilities on sight however Paul Chad Comingore is too cheap to fix it! So Harrison signs the lease while I am keeping our daughter occuppied.

Nikki Serpo stated to my Fiance', Harrison Barnhart that she needs the money up front BEFORE he signs it! We spent our last Five-hundred ($500.00) dollars for that mobile home.  Red Flag went up with both of us.  He even asked her about what the ad we saw on Craigslist stating that it was this amount a month. We are to actually pay Six-hundred Fifty ($650.00) dollars a month. As per the ad on Craigslist. Nikki Serpo did not have an anwer! When after he signed the lease, and we got our things moved in, IT IS STATED ON THE AD ON CRAIGSLIST THAT THE POWER WOULD BE ON FOR OUR CONVIENCE. WE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER! Both myself and Harrison Barnhart contacted Tampa Electric Company and we went through alot of red tape. Not one time did Nikki Serpo call Tampa Electric to place a courtesy call to have the power turned on. On top of that, our daughter was playing with dead bugs that were on the floor. I had to use her toy broom to sweep them up. Our home was nver cleaned! Our oven is filthy and I refuse to use it! I have seen cockroaches come out of our outlet in all the rooms! Our ceilings are going to cave in at any time!

We both read the lease when we moved in on October 23, 2015 and everyday after that. I also called Legal aide to let them know that the lease was not legal because for one, MR. PAUL CHAD COMINGORE DID NOT HAVE THE STATE SEAL! TECO,  while going through all of this wanted to speak to the Property owner, NOT Nikki Serpo.Harrison Barnhart Googled MR. PAUL CHAD COMINGORE, IS IN HIDING BECAUSE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST HIM. It all came up he is a Scam, conartist, fraud, and slumlord!

On top off all of that, we went to Nikki Serpo and stated to her what our circumstances are. We got a letter that states, "Pay Up or get out! Nikki is so unprofessional, that our daughter cannot sleep because she is always yelling at her children and other tenants. Every other word out of her mouth is either the MF word or the F word and our daughter is picking that up. Also her husband blares his music from 11p.m until 2a.m.! I actually went outside and I could not say anything because his radio was that loud.

TECO wants us to pay them Two-hundred Fifty ($250.00) dollars! We are still without power and on November 8, 2015, I was so worried that our daughter and my fiance' were going to have heat strokes that we checked into a motel!

My major complaints are false advertisements, fraud, scams, slumlord, unprofessionalism of both of the property manager, Nikki Serpo and Paul Chad Comingore! Do NOT RENT IN TAMPA, VELRICO, GIBISON, AND HUDSON!
