Chicago Wholesale Advancement Ripped off in Milwaukee Elmhurst, IL Illinois
I own an office building in Milwaukee, WI. I was contacted by Rob Zuckert of Chicago Wholesale Advancement to rent some vacant space in my office building. He seemed like a nice man with good intents, so I rented the space to him after doing $3000 in remodeling to suite his needs.
I offered the first month's rent free as an incentive the get them in the building and was hoping for a long term tenant. Things went downhill from their first week in the building.
Their Milwaukee represantitive, Joel Holmer, seemed like a nice kid, but was just full of crap! When I rented to Rob, he told me there would be an inspirational meeting in the morning, but normal office business after that. My tenants next door said they could deal with that. That was not the case! I received numerous calls from the tenant next door complaining about yelling, foot stomping, swearing, and loud music all day!
I confronted Joel with these issues many times, and each time he said he would take care of it. Nothing ever changed. My first rent check from Joel bounced. Joel said he would make it good, so I gave them another month. Guess what! The next months rent check bounced also! What a surprise!
I went to the office today and everything is gone except for the furniture I dont need or want to move. The new walls need repainting after 3 months. I have received no rent and can't get a call from the Illinois office!
$3000 in expenses, not a dime rent in 3 monthsl, and pissed off tenants next door! Please do not do business with these people!

Clarification: I was never, ever the tenant in this space! Nor did I ever enter a lease agreement on this space! I referred to you a prospective tenant that you decided to accept as a tenant. They paid you a first months rent and a deposit equal to a months rent. It was thoroughly explained to you the nature of the prospective tenants business and that there would be bursts of enthusiasm and applause eminating from the space. As explained to you, the prospective company was a sales based motivational business that attracted young, enthusiastic people to it. In your desperation to lease a space and accept money, you agreed that type of entity would not be considered a nuisance. As a precaution, the next door neighbors were consulted with per your approval and your attendance. You repainted three office walls that would have needed to be repainted no matter the tenant. You did not honor your word! There certainly was tons of inventory in that area, so not being forthcoming about the noise so as to secure the referral an office space is a ridiculous notion. You accepted the tenants money to gain a tenant, then decided to not want to deal with the fact that the tenants noise eminating from the space was just part of the deal. In fact, most of the problem could have been alleviated if the common walls between tenants went to the deck, not just cheap drywall that only went to the drop ceiling! Or, maybe have relocated the tenant to another space within the building, as you certainly had plenty of that available. You demanded and enforced that the tenant conform to your change of heart. I wonder if that all has anything to do with the tenant deciding to break the lease! I guess just because you own the building doesnt necessarily make you a great real estate agent or landlord, for that matter! Of course the clapping, hooting and applause wasnt going to change, nor should it have needed to. That wasnt the agreement in the way you accepted the tenant and the way they went about conducting business. As I understood from the tenant, the furniture left behind was the furnishings that were already in the suite when they took occupancy. You should have signed your report "Landlord that didn't get his way" in Milwaukee.
