When I took possession of the condo on Oct 29 there was a laundry list of issues that made me regret renting it and especially how much it cost.
1. The kitchen obviously had water damage as the cleaning lady pointed out. I was not told about this until I got there. The wet press board attracted bugs especially cockroaches which I find particularly disgusting, and the drawers are hard to use. I have pictures.
2 The bi-fold door in the entry way is broken with masking tape to hold it together which makes it a hassle to get anything out of that closet. You cannot leave it open and get out the front door. Fire hazard! I have pictures.
3 The best chair on the deck is literally falling to pieces. I have pictures.
4 The ceiling fan in the bedroom emits a loud squeaking noise which is critical because AC unit does not cool the bedroom. I have pictures.
5 The toilet continues to run after use and requires manipulation to get it to quit. This is one I would normally just deal with and let the owners know but with all the other issues it justifies discussion. I have a video.
6. The air conditioner is ancient and sounds like a jet taking off. It also leaks and covers the lanai with water. I have pictures.
7. The handles on the louvered window in the kitchen are broken so you can’t open them. I have pictures.
8. The bathroom door is broken along the bottom and the bathroom cabinet has water damage and looks very shabby. I have pictures.
9 And now after everything else I am supposed to also give up my privacy at a very inconvenient time, so they can deal with a previous tenant’s damage. THIS IS MY VACATION AND I AM DEALING WITH THIS!
10. I have no fewer than 18 email messages received dealing with this condo during my time there and numerous sent and received messages on the Airbnb site while I am trying to enjoy my vacation. The owners said they would compensate me but I sent them a message and got no response so they are also obviously dishonest too.
