This complaint unfortunately comes from a tenant that rented a home from us.
We gave her two free weeks of rent at time of move in as she had requested she would like to clean the house herself. We installed new flooring at her request for her comfort. When she found out I was a dentist she expressed her concern for her 20 year old daughter's dental needs. I had her daughter come to the office for a cleaning and check up. She was in college and could only come to the office in the evening. I made special arrangements to treat her after hours as she was in a lot of pain and needed extensive work.
Out of the goodness of my heart I stayed into the evening with my assistant to complete the treatment and get her daughter out of pain. Services rendered were discounted due to her financial situation and only the treatments performed were sent to her ex husbands insurance company. Her ex husband received the check from the insurance company and cashed it. At this time I had not received any form of payment for services rendered; and I was forced to send a letter of intent for payment of services rendered to her ex husband. This was what she told me to do.
In the months to follow the tenant did not pay her rent. Showing up at the property I found she had moved into the house next door without notice or payment for the month. The house was unclean. When I asked why she moved out; she said she had lost her job and could not afford her rent of $1,400 per month and that the neighbors next door had given her a free month and were renting the house for $900 per month. She had signed a 2 year binding lease with us and had been there for 6 months.
I decided to release her from her contract; however I stated she would not be getting her security deposit back for the month she did not pay and the condition she left the home in. And by the Florida Statutes on rental properties she did not give proper notice of vacating. Our attorney on retainer advised us to sue. We did not want to cause more hardship on this individual.
Two weeks later we began getting slanderous text that she wanted her security deposit back or she would destroy my reputation. Many disturbing words were used and it went into the late evening. These accusations are totally false. If anyone has a complaint of this nature they should be required to state their name as innocent, hard working businesses get affected by slanderous, dishonest, unsubstantiated information.
