Maguire Property Management ripoff promised I could purchase home if made payments on time regardless of credit evicted us and sued us for the remainder of rent balance Dayton Ohio
Maguire properties promised me that I could purchase my home regardless of credit as long as I paid my rent on time. After moving into the home we notice the home needed extensive work in which Maguire told us that all damages to the house were on us. We had a lot of good furniture and electronics etc...that were damaged because the roof leaked. The basement flooded with human waste, we had rats, the house wasn't insulated which caused us to have an outstanding utility bill, he kept an lock box on our door for two-months. Two weeks after moving into the home he gave us an eviction notice because of clothes on the floor and so much more. We found out that no one is able to purchase the house but he keeps feeding people these lies promising them they can purchase their home after one year. Ever since we had resided at 1621 Cory Dr. a home owned by Maguire Properties we have become victims and is still being victimized by him. He has messed up our credit report severly and has a law suit on us. I would like everyone know that he is a slum lord and to watch out for him because he is taking advantage of innocent families who really want to become home owners. Please put a stop to him. It would be advisable to contact all persons who resided at this address for their experience in dealing with him.

Tamika, First of all I want to take Dave in Jacksonville to task for his response to your post. I realize that we are only getting your side of the story and you may or may not be a disgruntled ex-tenant who may or may not have paid the rent. If we all take what you say as the truth I would hope that we would all read your post and offer solutions to you instead of insults. I went on the Montgomery County Web site and looked up the property in question. It is a small cape cod 1,176 square feet, built in 1915. It sounds as if you were renting the property with the option to purchase at a later date. It would be helpful to know what your contract says about maintenance and repair responsibility. If it states that you (the purchaser) are responsible, you should have had a home inspection BEFORE you signed the contract. If it is stated that the landlord/owner is responsible, you might have a leg to stand on in court. To be honest with you, I can't understand why you noticed AFTER you moved in that the roof leaked. Generally if a roof leaks, there are visible signs on the ceiling.There is no way I would place my valuable furniture and electronics in a room that had stains on the ceiling from a leak. I mean no disrespect when I say it had to have been a hell of a leak to get to the main floor of a Cape Cod style home. If you take anything away from this experience, please take thisHIRE A HOME INSPECTOR! Get all the problems taken care of before you sign on the dotted line! I found this information about Ohio's Landlord and Tenant Law. As you can see, he had no right to use the key in the lock box to enter without giving you notice. Read this, if it applies to your situation, go find someone to help you. I'm sure there is a neighborhood legal services or something like it near you. What about a local television station's troubleshooter or whatever they are called in Ohio. A Landlord has the duty to: 1. Keep the building safe and sanitary by complying with local housing, health and safety codes. 2. Make repairs to keep the building fit and habitable. 3. Keep hallways, stairs and other common areas safe and sanitary. 4. Keep in good working order all electrical, plumbing, heating, and ventilation systems and fixtures. 5. Provide garbage cans and arrange for pickup, if the landlord owns four or more units in the same building. 6. Provide running water and reasonable amounts of hot water and heat unless hot water and heat are supplied by an installation under the exclusive control of the tenant and supplied by a direct public utility connection. 7. Not abuse the right of access. 8. Give at least 24 hours notice, unless it is an emergency, before entering a tenant's unit and entering only at reasonable times. 9. Evict tenant when informed by a law enforcement officer of drug activity by the tenant, a member of the tenant's household, or a guest of the tenant occurring in or otherwise connected with the tenant's premises A Tenant has the duty to: 1. Keep the premises which the tenant occupies safe and sanitary. 2. Dispose of rubbish in the proper manner. 3. Keep the plumbing fixtures as clean as their condition permits. 4. Use electrical and plumbing fixtures properly. 5. Comply with local housing, health and safety codes. 6. Refrain from activity that causes damage to the premises and keep guests from doing the same. 7. Maintain appliances supplied by the landlord in good working order. 8. Conduct himself/herself in a manner that does not disturb any neighbors, and require guests and family members to do the same. 9. Comply with State or municipal drug laws in connection with the premises and require household members and guests to do likewise. 10. Permit the landlord to enter the dwelling unit if the request is reasonable and proper notice is given. I hope this information is helpful to you. Let us know how everything works out. Getting out of that house may be a blessing in disguise!

You CAN'T be evicted because you have CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR! You were evicted because you DIDN'T PAY YOUR RENT. Let's face it, you are probably low-income credit risks that NEVER pay their bills on time, if at all, and you are looking for a handout. I don't doubt the house was a piece of crap, because that's what people like you prefer to live in, but don't go lying your a*s off about being evicted because you had clothes on the floor!! Get a job, pay your bills, and get off crack.
