Brandon Reckert and Kateea Napper rented a home with a strict lease. It took only a month for the home to be badly damaged and for them to refuse to pay their rent. Since they moved in, the septic line became totally clogged because of diapers and other unauthorized items being flushed. Continual harassment of the Landlord for refunds of deposits, legal threats, physical threats, and occasional blocking of the home from the Landlord with their Pit Bull dog or refusing entrance even after being given 24 hours notice. Other damage included water damage to a guest bedroom from a source that seems not to exist. No leaks in the plumbing or home yet the bedroom is continually doused and the tenants refuse to pay rent until the so called mysterious dousing of the home is fixed. The bedroom continues to suffer damage even though the Landlord has dried out the room several times and it stayed dry for days. All efforts and investigation point to the tenants intentionally dousing the guest bedroom to avoid rent payments as well as create a mold problem in the home. The tenants are fighting their eviction. Brandon Reckert has demanded $800 dollars for cleaning a clean home and told the landlord that he has to hire him and his Father, Brad Reckert of Landmark Contracting Services 703-830-8204 to fix an imaginary mold problem within the home. It appears that Brandon Reckert wishes to create a septic back up and mold problem in the home and then is delusional enough to think that he or his Father could possibly be hired or paid to fix a problem he created while refusing to pay rent. Threats to have the home condemned for non existent mold problems and threats to report the home to the EPA also have been prevalent. Other damage includes his drilling a large hole clean through a main support beam of the home without permission and then telling lies on court that he was given permission. This is a warning to all Landlords and people that are approached to do business with Brandon Reckert or Nakeea Napper. Numerous other lease violations occurred immediately. Parking on yards and walkways, refusing to hook up the gas stove and bringing in a hot plate etc.

Tenants did a walk through of the home while the previous tenants were in the home. Reckert and his girlfriend came to the home and did a walk through of the home when it was vacant as well and had ample time to review the home. Further, tenants signed confirmation in the actual lease that the home was in clean livable condition when they moved in. You can obtain a copy of their signed admission the home was not as they described within the Jefferson County magistrate Court of West Virginia. Tenants gave a partial deposit while standing in the kitchen of the home. After the deposit was accepted Landlord prepared the lease and this 3rd meeting was done at a restaurant where they signed the lease and gave the rest of the money required to take occupancy. Tenants claims are slander and can be proven so in court. Tenants had 2 walk throughs of the property prior to signing the lease. From that point on they became nothing but a nuisance and problem for the landlord. Their eviction was put in process before they even completed a single month of residency. Tenants caused the back up of the main septic line by flushing baby diapers and other unsuitable items into the toilet. Landlord responded right away and within a couple days had cleared the septic line himself. Landlord built the home but hired out to have the septic system installed. Tenants managed to clog the septic the first week they were there. Toilet continued to flush as the clog they had caused was past a relief port for the septic system. The tenants were never without a functioning toilet.

The couple was legally evicted for refusing to pay rent. Server of the Landlord's was allowed access to the rental property before Reckert were ordered out. What he found was a washer dryer hose attached to the spicket hose of the air tank. The Reckert had presented a video in court of high streaming water coming from what appeared to be the waterline though the source of the stream was actually hidden. It is now evident that likely this hose that was later found still attached and needing large pliers to remove had been the source of the high velocity water on the video they presented. This hose was never seen before by the landlord nor was it in the home before the couple moved in. The Magistrate evicted Brandon Recker on many counts. Destruction and or damaging property Refusing to pay rent Parking all over the yard including guests while not using a large half circle driveway Refusal to hook up and use the gas oven but instead bringing in a hot plate Threatening the Landlord's life in a text message From the moment this couple moved in they started making claims one of which was that they couldn't live there because insects could get in the house After that Reckert began demanding cleaning payment of $800 and making false claims about the cleanliness of the home. Interestingly enough after Brandon Reckert was ordered off the property it had not been found clean as they had claimed they had cleaned it whike demanding payment.
Brandon Reckert continually sent legal threats to the Landlord via text messaging. Since Brandon Reckert has left the property there has not been any mysterious leaks nor water in the guest bedroom. Landlord had to repair homes on drywall he made attempting to find a water leak that now is proven never existed. Since Brandon Reckert left. His own Mother began saying bad things about the landlord on Facebook and the Landlord has proof of this in screenshots of her slander. The Landlord also has in his possession a screen shot of Brandon Reckert's Mother stating on her Facebook that Brandon has a bipolar disorder, mentions that she hopes he gets the treatment he needs where the doctors can get him the right medicine and that she will never give up on him while he is away. The public record of this Couples legal extraction from the property can be obtained at the Jefferson County West Virginia Magistrate Court. Brandon Reckert left the home with a hole drilled through a main weight bearing beam, carpet padding having to be replaced as well as the carpet. Brandon left the home dirtier than when he moved in which it was not filthy as they describe at all when he moved in. The carpet and padding were unsalvageable as well as the room had to be treated for mold resistance as this couple had managed to keep the carpet and padding wet in some sort or fashion off and on for 2 months. The Reckerts managed to delay the Eviction process by showing up in court and requesting more time to stay on the property so they could get an attorney. They were given weeks longer to obtain an attorney yet they did not show up with one On their return to court. They were quicklly evicted given only 10 days to vacate the property. They had to be court ordered off this property they have now claimed was unfit. If it was so unfit why did they fight to stay there over a month past the point they refused to pay their rent? Poster maintains his post is true, that Reckerts is false and can prove this so in a court of law when needed.

Tenants moved in on April 17th, had several issues and a huge problem with commode not flushing. Brandon went into the hospital on April 24th where he spent 2 weeks. I took this picture on April 28th while at the house trying to clean. When Mr. Lee arrived at the house, I made him aware of this, he was surprised to know that this overflow pipe was even there right after admitting he "built" the house, he didn't buy it! This issue was going on for a while before the tenants moved in.
It's clear to me now why Mr. Lee refused to meet Brandon and Kateea at the residence to sign the lease and give their $4,000.00 CASH deposit. He insisted they meet him at a nearby restaurant. He took their money and gave them the key. They immediately went to the house to start moving in and found the deplorable conditions. After spending one night there, they requested their deposit back. They even offered for Mr. Lee to keep $1,300.00 for the monthly rent, they just wanted their security deposit back. Mr. Lee informed the them he had already spent the money, including the deposit. He then started blaming the tenants for things that had been going on for quite some time. Wood rot does not happen in less than a week!!

Brandon Reckert gave you $4000.00 CASH on April 17, 2018. You refused to meet him at "the residence" an insisted on meeting him at a local restaurant "Torlones". He gave you the cash, signed the lease and went to the residence. After spending one night there, he contacted you the following day and requested a termination of the lease because the house was inexcusable. He was not accustomed to the cockroaches, mouse droppings and all-around filth. He even offered to let you keep the monthly rent of $1,300.00, he just wanted the security deposit back. Your response to him was "that money is gone, already spent"!!! In less that 24 hours!!!
