Complaint Review: Dontre Jones - Evergreen Landscaping - Clarksville Tennessee

Andrew I'm taking all the voicemails and emails to the police department today. I'm done with the games and you calling my place of employment. Dont worry I'll take this report too to show what I have written. You called me and laughed in my face telling me how me and my kids were going to suffer and that is a NO NO to any mother. I don't have anything else to say to you. If court is the way to go than just do it. SAY what you want but anymore forms of contact are being forwaded the POLICE DEPARTMENT! FYI- If I'm supposedly in this lawsuit then I can reply. DO NOT CALL ME/EMAIL ME OR MY JOB ANYMORE. If my report is removed yours will be too because you are not telling the truth. SLANDER IS SLANDER & you started it, I only responded to seeing something written first!My job legally has nothing to do with this and my name is not on your CONTRACT!  FYI- IF you are so sure that you will win in court, jeopardizing my job will only delay the bogus $8000 or $100000 that you claim we owe you....140 PER DAY is a bogus late charge and you DID  breach the CONTRACT first. Have a blessed day and see you in court.

This is my last posting before the lawsuit is filed against Dontre Jones and now his wife for Slander.

 First - Notice one key item here:  I am NOT the only person listing complaints against Dontre.  He has done this before - since even doing business with me.  Realize that.

  Secondly - Notice another key statement in the rubuttal by his WIFE (not Dontre): I paid for my services, in full and said nothing about the original work done as promised.  It was the warranty and follow-on paid work that was NOT honored by him.  I keep and kept my end of the aggreements as I always have.

   Thirdly - The complete and utter false and misunderstood statements were all in a legal, TN RECOGNIZED Lease Contract, duplicated from existing contracts, read, agreed and SIGNED BY HER HUSBAND including the due date, grace period, late fees (10% / day as common law practice) and written notices required by law for eviction - which WHERE NEVER THREATENED or GIVEN or THEY would be SUING ME for Breach of contract, NOT the other way around.  You have to pay rent ON TIME (that is INCLUDING 7 days LATE) and then pay rent AT ALL to stand up and rant about a contract his wife was NOT EVEN ON, and make false accuasations without EVER (EVEN WITH MY REPEATED OFFERS) reading ONE single email I sent her husband showing that the information she is stating is completely inaccurate.  She just wants to make ME the bad guy.   No one ever wants to admit they are just wrong, but that is what email, receipt and photographic evidence is for.  I have all of it - they do not.

  So, my final rant with some details:

  Well - the law stands with me.  You break contracts, don't pay your bills and defraud customers for paid work never completed, then you don't have ground to stand on.

  Not ONE single item on here that she listed in her rubuttal can be proven, whereas I have every email saved, the contract and photographs of the neglect, dead plants, overgrown lawn and missing rock / mulch that was PAID for by me and never completed.  A complaint is being filed against them with Consumer Affairs on the military post as well as with the BBB of Tennessee and separate, civil action is also being initiated by me for the unpaid rent / bills and damages caused by them that again, I have photographs and email coorespondence to prove and of which they cannot.

   So, lets stick with FACTS:  I am in the Military, serving overseas when I am defrauded and property was abandoned in a complete breach of contract after severe neglect and costs of repair and upkeep coming back out of my pocket.

   Money Hungry - I guess if you expect rent to paid AT ALL let alone on time (he never paid rent by the 20th - 7 days after the due date of which I waived the first month's late fees to be nice, the second month took an email and he paid the last day of the grace period and the 3rd month he NEVER paid rent and abandoned the property).  The $140 / day = was 10% of the rent, as outlined in TN RENTAL CONTRACTS - not from ME PERSONALLY and in OUR CONTRACT, signed and agreed to by her Husband Dontre.  The statements she listed were never said by me - ever. I can prove that and will in court, she cannot and is using nothing short of false statements and slander in the process in a public forum.

    Eviction claim:  The EMAIL I have said the due date was NOT the grace period - and if he continued to pay it late EVERY MONTH as he as (past grace period), then that is a breach of contract, 14 days then elapse, then a 30 day written notice of eviction would be given - AGAIN, AS OUTLINED IN THE SIGNED CONTRACT BY DONTRE.  That notice was never given and they NEVER, EVER paid ONE CENT above rent to me, including rent altogether when they abandoned my $200k HOME.  This isn't slum-lord stuff guys - this was home left to rent due to military orders being stationed overseas.   This exactly why I NEVER wanted to rent it out, why Dontre asked me to rent to him (and NOT use a property manager so he could bail out whenever he wanted to - now I know why) and I did it as a favor to him, with others IN LINE wanting to rent my home.  I helped HIM out for his family and his business and this is what happened.

   The Slander and profanity - Was NEVER used.  Slander is over an open source such as this which only facts I can and will present in court were listed.  I NEVER cursed at either her or her husband for this very reason. I did call him out personally in a private email between him and myself for running and not contacting me about any concerns he had before abandoning my property without ANY notice or contact of ANY kind while I was away in training - man to man.  There were NO threats and NO profanity.

Everything she presented has been requested to be removed as it violates the rubuttal terms ON THIS WEBSITE and is completely untrue and she cannot show otherwise.  She exageratted and made flat out false statments to slander me based only on information from her husband and not facts, emails, photographs or the truth for that matter that I HAVE to present in court against them.

     Take this for what it's worth, it is the truth.

  Finally - notice the OTHER complaints NOT from me against him.  I am not the only person he has done this too, so FYI.

Andrew ,if were going to tell we will tell it ALL!! After so much verbal abuse I have broken my peace on this matter. I am a mom of two babies and Dontre is my spouse. This man and my husband made an agreement on contract and we rented and painted the entire home and intended to buy it. My husband also did his landscaping with was 100% completed and paid in full before we resided in 1859 Darlington Drive Clarksville,TN 37042. There was an agreed grace period 12th-20th every month due to our nature of work and not having set pay dates-Andrew was fine with that. This issue was clearly explained to him and he stated it was fine.Two months into the contract Andrew Steffensmeier emailed my husband being very rude saying its not his problem we chose this kind of work and how its not a convience for us to be living in the property and eliminated the grace period  and rent to be due on  the 12th period. Andrew stated that if rent was paid ONE day late again that he would evict us from the property. He also stated that he wanted to basically sale the property anyway, Andrew purposely had come up with cruel terms to leave me and family homeless. He has outragoues terms his late fees are $140 PER DAY!!

How is someone suppose to make it in these times with people trying to beat them out of money. Andrew does have our $1400 deposit and the $2500 dollars that we spent painting, repairing ceilings and walls throughout his home. We also remulched and kept up the yard while we where there, we loved the home and did intend to stay until he changed the terms. Andrew has called my job several times concerning this matter and also placed reports like this throughout the internet. That is fine because I may need to make some phone calls myself. He has also left verbal abuse messages on the phone "calling us chicken sh*t son of a bit*hes" , saying how he would destroy my career as a realtor and my husbands business. We are a small business and it is unfortunate that we are dealing with this, I wish that we would have not came into contact with Andrew, I thought he was a nice person but through these vindictive emails and calls I see and evil and selfish person. I recieved a call from him and he told me that if they went to court the judge would rule in his favor just because he was in the military.

Andrew -get real, God Bless You for doing your job but facts and documentation are what holds up in court not your occupation. He also told me that he would settle out of court for $3000 plus our $1400 deposit, then sent and email saying $4500 and another lastnight saying now its over $8000!! Are you kidding me!? Anyone please drive by this property and view it INSIDE & OUT- it is perfect condition we lived there 2 months and did not cause damage to Andrew's home- he admited on the phone but we owe him over $8000??? That's beyond highway robbery. He continues to send personal emails and try to cause damage in our places of employment. Andrew you are wrong and you know it, maybe I should start calling your job and try to ruin your reputation so that you cannot provide for family. You are heartless and evil. You can print this off and add it to your file have a ball!

To the readers-We are not scammers and were not running from this man we are NOT going to let our kids hungry paying his $140 PER day lates fees while were out busting our tails on commision based jobs during these tough times. Sorry Andrew if thats a problem I know that your seeing that your kids want for nothing also. So Small Businesss Owners- Beware of Andrew Steffensmeiser and his evil ways and Families-DO NOT RENT FROM THIS MAN-go through a company, if something doesn't go his way he will 1.TRY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY 2.RUIN YOUR JOB 3. TRY TO LEAVE YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES HOMELESS 4.VERBALLY & MENTALLY ABUSE YOU BY PHONE AND EMAIL. WARNING!!!!!!!!
